Four days but no word from Jimmy led Penelope walking to his house.
300Please respect copyright.PENANABnFETpv95m
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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAbwvX1UdBGV
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAiLc2cokmCV
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAfu6ikB8ZvP
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAcmSJcNcRCu
He released her grip on him and stared.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAVYGYb4XigE
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
300Please respect copyright.PENANANEMgMeNy4r
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
300Please respect copyright.PENANACOwg12lYmB
“Just do as I say okay.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANARGec1R9LwO
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
300Please respect copyright.PENANApQT2vDvDgi
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAIWHaFj9YQ7
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
300Please respect copyright.PENANAocEd7dLbQg
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANA2XpEO09TUR
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAF60VITNQqU
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA1xowQWZgq3
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAdEOXRSG0WZ
“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.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANA4XrFCxoiLK
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAudFH1GJidB
“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.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAdkWfzcSGfD
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 “
300Please respect copyright.PENANAzTYqq3fQxQ
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAdEdV0jHwCp
“ Ironic Expression.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAHd1k3m0kTU
Penelope laughed.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAtqgPPjbbRC
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANABJkfXzlbeK
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAljieMQqv82
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAcx0u2Xo6hK
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAMbH2Gk5QhI
“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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA5DBwBjCBcS
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAByJBTHKwT2
“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.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAUqWW1uLtTO
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAr9R9EJInyw
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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAQTjlqr7Ozo
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANA8ACmxIvQMH
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAmt4Pw3a5MS
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA8qERn47rQd
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAflCfXrL4Wc
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA69D6XPWT4M
“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.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANASCPgyjt9Yt
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANA3HmDWcztIx
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAC7WhJ4VLzM
“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.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAil0MNASOln
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAFdQVzxMW2M
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAVrYZCDpIbK
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAdPw3sedW1G
Neil shrugged.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA6vakJUB12E
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAwcKQIQ2PeU
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAPcnI3d4hJG
“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.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANApAliKLoqeL
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAOWssNSqAZH
“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.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANA98XOGYqllQ
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.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAE2KPNHZErJ
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAsgGb28HbcX
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAEwLkb0ifzG
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
300Please respect copyright.PENANArrteTIs36U
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAGg14E3jmto
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bhi3HM9pc
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAfOked3fwDr
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAjTVEspMSKB
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAiVBZn6shLz
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAMCNWVAom3T
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAzY2Sf7wfaN
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAnSKvi16hXr
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANA6ihWZ334FC
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAQcZsGS2AN4
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
300Please respect copyright.PENANAmQm7Y5TXTM
Jimmy grinned.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAfjcjGEmpRo
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
300Please respect copyright.PENANA0FSfPZJHNj
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
300Please respect copyright.PENANAkzfEphrL2b
“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.”
