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.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9hyBEBeKS
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xijbyZPX9
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0iw1aVr1A
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyXyd6W55U
He released her grip on him and stared.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HHJvxkgYR
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDGK6CytRa
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TFiN8pBu9
“Just do as I say okay.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLeVj7hgDb
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXVznZXoo
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz0fjazbtV
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRfZzkVbiN
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4uMOAlwAR
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdjS83Qy8g
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwvbKeLpmV
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qh2FyVoVk
“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.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wsbU3jOhG
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37L1IriWqV
“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.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ixUD73qCW
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 “
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYqPoBHUzi
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7WcE93q9A
“ Ironic Expression.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN7WmoVhrI
Penelope laughed.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3il3sAeAM
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfByd3AH67
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0lALQaCH
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMesp0wUSk
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmViknIKtPS
“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.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9STp12QwTb
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKMIU7PfW5
“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.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUWiO6xQl
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ivulu8kP
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.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs09fcsqem
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLDNAtVmUF
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsfExVReH0
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNdEW17iRP
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k75wNaLMg
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZdYGFzKFL
“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.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52oU4Q9GOU
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Ftm8UuOH
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFdNKt05th
“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.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAWQUz4UNe
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TUjgsrgTS
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tpx016bai
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeuLU3nzax
Neil shrugged.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOM6H1MFVM
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQh1bxzq9X
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu7yfJZ3ZM
“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.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur0QOweR2G
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzCd70UiRJ
“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.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOj0Nta1K0
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.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgKaDaCw39
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRquDdIXQf5
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALfQxebQiH
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9pcAoEf26
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57b5FtOdHa
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqNT4Zx0h5
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMrivxMZeb
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBfSUxeELC
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtTzJpVzuL
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy94o1aKcX
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxlTEDpsqO
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS3FDQr0cc
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7J5LCV6kd
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWxkJ7cv5O
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKsRqnPf8a
Jimmy grinned.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMZo9W0UIK
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvMqiU5aFL
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSwkfMneYU
“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.”
