Four days but no word from Jimmy led Penelope walking to his house.
246Please respect copyright.PENANArnjPpmyBnF
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQL7tFPMp8J
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
246Please respect copyright.PENANATnSbH0nBQ4
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAgOBR0aSufn
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAgLsELFSw9m
He released her grip on him and stared.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAbkKhINBo1E
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
246Please respect copyright.PENANADtqz8OaJBF
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAX9A9JXC9bc
“Just do as I say okay.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyyO29fj43b
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAeKYpStr5nr
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAiNCXTLKVf7
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
246Please respect copyright.PENANA0GA9yzfuGx
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAr0j2Z6xIJJ
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAanlYq3Or66
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAD2JPngKFwt
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
246Please respect copyright.PENANANxz7rapvcY
“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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6L7yAn4HEq
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQE85VT7Mpx
“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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjOc2zPTcBF
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 “
246Please respect copyright.PENANAT3JH0TI2kZ
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAUaLpi43dsF
“ Ironic Expression.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAsQsDewGtsd
Penelope laughed.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6PKBbokFWq
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANATEjJxBqtmH
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAAjiq1rNGpE
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAbEp5bQcDp0
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPkLb0dj2n8
“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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANABTZc7u3VKD
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAh0NIfoxPrc
“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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdlMNm9E14n
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAI5DZise1Mv
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAH7ldZsnOQd
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANADiTe5uo7FK
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuzUMpGjAVb
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA9znOSAMZ1Q
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
246Please respect copyright.PENANArtnNOmaNwF
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
246Please respect copyright.PENANANV9g13DeIo
“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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQWtzZdq1Yf
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAYO0bf2afvz
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAS6SsRNbocd
“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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAYEU9zXol7x
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAbAYBjL87Yx
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAi4pEZ6yKGl
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAhq8ihPPYso
Neil shrugged.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAddF8jLouct
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAHkbKuVB14Q
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyJyuHTRhdu
“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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAXoa1SI7fCy
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEKHtzQ5Jd0
“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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPP53fJ1cMF
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAhlkKqnFAXT
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAlOYEAhIGlo
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAF2APAmzFBq
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
246Please respect copyright.PENANADcXtA3cW5Q
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAHlUMv1YAWG
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA8V50sUcExL
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4zGYILbwa
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAKvzjFA5c13
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAzPSm037vgQ
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAj94ECBa76Y
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANALrHZ7w32cy
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAn82ZXtvKUx
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAaTrTGnItVO
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAu1b5bO3jJZ
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANARs3GOh7uFo
Jimmy grinned.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Um8w1hf9
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAk2AmQnjclC
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAUyxGFLo3q8
“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.”
