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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPakhJXasDA
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uhWG3EXQ
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfQwYURLoX
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJPqMXMtWY
He released her grip on him and stared.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S7sqYKdyM
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AZK26CQCw
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoTH5K044l
“Just do as I say okay.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrWd1lfYNO
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXg7O8pHHp
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWi52H69Fz
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq8YOV1dNP
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Oqib5QDc
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w8JFKA8r6
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkk0yLPuF7
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjvFAC7IvT
“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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaApE8aMcCl
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHhieJplpX
“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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HL82UlGAC
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 “
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZeTrrest9
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ3bkmjdW7
“ Ironic Expression.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraahe9D2kH
Penelope laughed.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3ZNsjyyOe
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG3ZQ72tuN
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnhsMQBIM4
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNEuwZhnVN
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQC1Df9cDh
“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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsooScUE6yv
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR2xKXOVqJ
“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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYm0rZPh5y
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD9nOvTJ3A
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXlcFsY2OZ
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1bvd9JH7V
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLDaNOS3ca
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLittS5rHWE
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXhWHwzHTT
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MI4CPrk3j
“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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn3BbuH0yJ
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwXVcuYzTA
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmcP4s9ilY
“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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGvUlPtjGH
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x7DZ42kog
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0oYsffdQm
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QCB56oyzR
Neil shrugged.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kMraHqi7L
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uageunmUF
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQWz4HFMRy
“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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8u04vpPs9
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5qWt1Iz0A
“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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuMD3qUtVm
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1NPyQIX66
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkrVTfr6NR
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftCU5LKxAb
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfTU3qhupG
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlaE4lv3r5
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7azCch2SE9
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCPFPqa1Ci
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yCZwsiZqs
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4SCiiCIkd
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi518mGNATW
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdXlTRKPyw
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhypfZAobKR
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPHd8G1MoH
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkEnEqASbN
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLae2SDpndk
Jimmy grinned.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJEvilk2K
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcDNhr9yEW
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYrvC2mtJ2
“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.”
