Four days but no word from Jimmy led Penelope walking to his house.

When she saw him, she was devastated. He looked like a madman; his hair was scattered and he looked dull. She never knew he could look like that.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1LEUnrB1z
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ4s5vXVNv
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqPWkTE5bo
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOjTgJwcsk
He released her grip on him and stared.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOOR2Z1fZ3
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1yRAih4oB
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHO9A8DuPh
“Just do as I say okay.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnSgwe58aF
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tktdMyS3I
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpc3bSMwpK
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9irIWhh9xX
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsQyioyERQ
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fN2aPcG6w
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCLzTY0T1D
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBX3gh39Kn
“So are you gonna ignore me again, after depriving me of the due care because of what happened?” She asked. “Tell me Jimmy. Tell me.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5bLz7pzhP
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XMtOiPbv
“Fine. If you can’t do it for me, do it for Abigail. Who knows, you could find out the culprit and the real truth.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Sm5Ct0Ff
Jimmy turned to her swiftly and she grinned.

Mr Roy sat expectantly formimg a steeple on his desk and leaning forward muttering prayers when the two people he expected walked in. he sprang up and cried. “ I am so disappointed you eventually decided to come “
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30TrtdGml
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSwYDZKTUe
“ Ironic Expression.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPtkIYrrxy
Penelope laughed.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwufYeWdFbk
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtidSsW9ML
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ClqoXAgK
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOpdDLNRID
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0iABSyeex
“Now I’m here. So what’s the deal?”

The five of them sat round the table; Mr Roy, Penelope, Jimmy, Neil and the ever arrogant but smart Batton.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1B0a4qf1e
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt29r7e74k
“Well I don’t think it’s everyone,” Jimmy said, glancing at Batton. “But don’t worry, this is the last mission. I repeat Mr Roy, the very last.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbEFVyi8Oh
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAmUdQhUCD
But he did. When Jimmy was still at work, they were both competing for the best. Jimmy was always far ahead and that was what spoiled their relationship. Earlier they had been friends. In fact, Batton was the one who talked Jimmy in to be part of the SF and now he regretted. Just when he thought he had no competitor anymore, Jimmy came strolling in and receiving praises. Ill-made relationship they say, was hard to cut off.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA0YQ6ycQG
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbXhGHMObo
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1LLPXAWj6
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWoQae4oEU
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPMusatSbP
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn43wsN3bMr
“Without your help, the SF found out that there is going to be a party at the leading hotel ballroom in two days and there will be an exchange of USB where a vital information we must get our hands on is,” Batton started proudly. “We also found the safe where the USB will likely be kept that night. So I don’t see any reason you were invited back.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3zESM3SYC
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NyCgqu2gI
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfFGqvEtih
“That is where you will come in Jimmy. So far your record have never been beaten,” Mr Roy said. “You are all attending and participating in the mission but we need you to do the most dangerous part. Getting to the safe.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Z9A5Wq9c
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcJG62hqi8
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7w7aRrbMg
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjv3XAVHyU
Neil shrugged.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7xv6ayM2R
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXWHSW54SV
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eCqXjJKSe
“He is Mr Lewis, a multi-billionaire. An old money, his family is into glass,” She explained. “Our latest conclusion is that he is only a mere sponsor of the upcoming massacre and that is because he will make a profit from it.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIet4wMetoF
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7gCJVJFzv
“How about we do it this way? I will be the thief, Penelope will be the seducer, and Neil along with Batton will be the guards,” Jimmy suggested. “As for the pickpocket, I have someone in mind.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qm9plMH1M
The car pulled in front of an old cottage. “Remain in the car,” Jimmy instructed and got down. He walked to the door and knocked on it softly. In some seconds, the door opened and someone stood in the doorway.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy3jai1hsx
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAfOvcvA90
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwbEx9i9b
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS6U0EUUOL
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka5jgR9rof
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA9OpnPNQk
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEULdlrcbbj
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjC4d669jL
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOhKftIZH6
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFRzhMCuFy
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNdbkgeVTu
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLmD3eDBBY
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGMSOJilEK
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ulJouHaFK
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNE2WfQe76
Jimmy grinned.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVNFHGsHuL
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NgF0XDG8W
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzF4zJMYi7
“If I don’t survive, remember you are the one who made me do this,” Jimmy repiled sending a wave of fear mixed with shock to Penelope. Then he added, "Don’t worry,I’ll be fine.”
