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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqwHRA8ZI7
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurQ5Kc78Dp
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vRskwBXfP
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfXfHudRXW
He released her grip on him and stared.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUiDzA0v3O
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2alNTS7AO
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0so6NJGmBY
“Just do as I say okay.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rSEqKAyhf
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2trtbZImBW
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqHe9PVNqh
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNMfeaRfGS
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WGsda55X8
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoR6vBjbSr
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXYxEOWpkh
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEteFdkJ674
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLpLitw4zE
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xzmj2SNc0
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEHc4Nz8DU
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 “
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAH8hJcz8D
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXHWyGnGfJ
“ Ironic Expression.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbxYNE0qhg
Penelope laughed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjQNI4UHwt
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgXedhWI5A
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sB3CBBuG9
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNeVrpDlLR
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcLG9gRBBh
“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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kRbQWu4mz
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z1trdSSmY
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapJGeZpjdW
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQZXEcLzi5
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnOs4JNp1Y
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST84tbD4x5
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K4RgF9ohA
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cROds2zgM
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjzuMsCzJU
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Qq5QhdPx
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6akO1frKT5
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnTJljqSQw
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dPbLdiXJx
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpyDDeKZHt
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdo8QAME6f
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2zfCu2XlY
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak9VUpkswR
Neil shrugged.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBe5UfIiw2
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dAEM4QhQR
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIMYBMRUGR
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErp2eChNol
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u1GaqHBNU
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdiU6n2fnU
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3rmhHC3Re
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEqc1DAdSa
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcaRUlT1yK
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEFYWvXnSj
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rteVO0y85
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm3510y3ek
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqC0igA5mo
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93GKuGSTgo
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6BOrsfGjM
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdcdPrB2N1
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwMwDfGwRu
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBus0jpvj7M
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOrXtNc0W8
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX73DYePmp
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaSudttUNV
Jimmy grinned.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbITyzZjZQ
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdWTE99XDG
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJusIeRWwcu
“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.”
