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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOAEDL1j4A
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02xzJnpuEg
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyPMh9NwTg
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAhLASzq7A
He released her grip on him and stared.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSG7B2JFPI
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYWhpWUSDA
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjPIj3SCKY
“Just do as I say okay.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhpYMVkzuK
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKojIxnnlQ
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjPrVVltNO
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRC45kfzJw
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz1WSFESai
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrEUWQZAnM
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMdocUpoaY
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdtWomKsoY
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzP2vXYAZu
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdnSvUbJ1d
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt4PAlAT15
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 “
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgBAr5EKbk
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0Tyf0WmG
“ Ironic Expression.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXyrmdkXnw
Penelope laughed.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHeGz6QrFn
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMsjBUjPLo
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6wFgvYp1Z
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg2YuzlH4t
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVgLhljAyL
“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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZvAS4yunk
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61gkIJsDir
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcAYeVpnuL
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKedCMu61Cc
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu26UdnwBu6
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziTb83TAtf
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oTgrmPb2A
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5HFerph0z
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG886OnnbGd
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1q3B842FI
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGtPOpGNMs
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRpt9uASIG
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI4YTsZkUy
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNojzVMBh7
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE0yq0KmR1
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQFWM4EN2g
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjQyuhy1JV
Neil shrugged.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdQH7zfxgM
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAha76MBgS
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ0RHsgf9Y
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIRMtBtX1O
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX4cGb5V24
“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.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡory8jZBwzr
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.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MRLYr9SfI
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNfcX4uDSm
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0QhHTjEM
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDtsUI6ZZy
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWLnnSUWIq
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUEOZ5Toev
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFjUWK0vuu
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIy5M4lzU1
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZblaY2UTUt
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXLFsXS9Tk
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDLlfC38Iq
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26gRHtopkh
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRPtQ7dv6J
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22235K9P0K
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj9qdUPOMD
Jimmy grinned.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXsb0mbwt1
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejcrRlicUK
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuegp3BDbq
“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.”
