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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuuvOljdHj
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qwo9YQ1Hs
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrMExlBXnt
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolFet7Kf4N
He released her grip on him and stared.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRYsXOpkvf
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ7xZiPCaw
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRoVk59V6L
“Just do as I say okay.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kUz3cXapx
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjE5p2Ad5k
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOqAkvglRq
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq0DJuDlot
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmhcN6Nakc
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0j1BktSuB
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX16b5wg00
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyTSk88AVz
“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.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK6qqbNYtS
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR7IQMWNOu
“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.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU86FPNyAbi
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 “
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEAMcJYLkM
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzw093cXOJ
“ Ironic Expression.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncpdP2s2zt
Penelope laughed.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHduZzGoWl1
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vI1ZIkLAs
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZNkZcbwPW
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fzCrUtrXp
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOaz5JEYRD
“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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYlxFtzMN3
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI4LafhUsR
“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.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZufRhKt4nl
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoEL8jaUR
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkyH8KaBGz
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEXunvyAbm
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI67rZkLuTK
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4yc253wme
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuRGKMaAky
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLudQ5wZYSu
“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.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF8Wt8xWVF
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryfzN2bSp1
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfPfWi2PzS
“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.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCgmWYkDX4
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXUffRlXBh
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkz9qMyklO
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xVJyqEqNW
Neil shrugged.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjypkuDXf5p
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfQVqwQ4hW
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM5aUhi2q1
“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.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzoprBZhYQ
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XDDrq43mc
“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.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEIkzgRakY
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.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe3FRmjn7C
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhO4Ain2cJ
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7gakU4Hp0
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwgmaNvvGC
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaXwLxWbLz
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkKFW50Wf6
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmg4KaYEuv
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB96Lqw6Ky5
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzRG5HTT0S
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV348Adlhl3
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTVf9wiEsg
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWwNn3wxbf
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaD7AAuFDT
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWpT4vDsKA
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk2jWpi2G3
Jimmy grinned.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSj8yuc3K5
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DNqimSig0
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡletNc8tEKe
“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.”
