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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6cTzpnDtd
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydnkjVNmLY
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4U2720wdw
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCcvGU6E0B
He released her grip on him and stared.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8U0ApnVaM
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6iCaCAZYv
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuVUmR2Led
“Just do as I say okay.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr20FBSOu4
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.

“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PBg8DAuDi
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtdnvSfq3N
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeTwbTm6yh
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCedSxYcqg4
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Oahp5ruX
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMDvW8bRHH
“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.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ObuOkzEJ
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTIRElrgxK
“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.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltPaMap85u
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 “
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRBB3dEyOq
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJhJpAFmW
“ Ironic Expression.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOqk4dqccD
Penelope laughed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d1YBEaxQq
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGKvdw1X8i
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gLqGQM97b
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS53QAZG3FQ
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zn3sAgpK9
“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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzcpJiukAu
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAfyXGsbLV
“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.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrFaUTKIOx
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsV95yO3O9
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjSWwVxPlw
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLhIexbqz8
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY9x3HOsnE
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm28Wa4IB0
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkEkS4nrVi
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdUxX6tplx
“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.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRLahkVVTd
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnycYdN54oP
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75XLdP3fzX
“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.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjHtAGFaof
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPqjZmtXHb
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgzoG61qtl
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1OHfTfIWM
Neil shrugged.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRcBzh1B2n
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLN1ks8UNo
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgkkmnVkpW
“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.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOKXU81yt6
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaJaJkMgtz
“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.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L9w9b4qcq
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU46hLM6F8
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK9VDBmkjj
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLLes52Xc7
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaj3lmnWac
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ccQ2cEpzv
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYtgy98SlX
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp37ZRZr66
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCaaY75KkX
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BscOvEQ20
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVCxpmwseV
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIwLf02CzF
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R1jkEjTJC
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrner6z2AV
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB1VeAHClH
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsx4rJzOoR
Jimmy grinned.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC38P2cQCpm
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLEST3aCK5
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiu29AOTPC
“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.”
