Four days but no word from Jimmy led Penelope walking to his house.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAj5AsUuuHZb
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAhCEJjmC0VN
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA2x1JVKHjXA
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAXC4jYFGMkS
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA2i2fWA4Kmf
He released her grip on him and stared.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAyC1jGh3Ueo
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAdMz95mF63X
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPOcWgWKOwM
“Just do as I say okay.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAEzBoRfLyS3
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAhEfV7bC6rG
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAPIEt4neCFW
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
247Please respect copyright.PENANApkUKFmq9Ud
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjuOicGLqUz
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAbUIVSTkCEo
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAxpmH6J5Mt5
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
247Please respect copyright.PENANALiV40QDQws
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAHPPKrkbdlC
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA2BGX3XMh7A
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAWKHRBoH110
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 “
247Please respect copyright.PENANAQWw3oLQ5qM
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANADYWCTDnJ6z
“ Ironic Expression.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAntftIGNZfC
Penelope laughed.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAmWwZRrhCIB
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAfnDwD4PwFG
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYSH5TEyIbk
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAkEJgqpc4ia
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAre2befRC28
“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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4YKbjDTlD
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAhHstgOUioI
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAozWJdgwok7
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAaPPT2LiFfN
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYOu3nCx44X
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAmS9Bhge8kL
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANANOCeFi7w0N
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAYb9T8KiGpW
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
247Please respect copyright.PENANA3AsigSqvIG
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAabiduFnzlo
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAhbKg6BT2bO
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAT585LET7vM
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAI0tCzUskTT
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAzF4WS8JvQi
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAICbV5PLmY1
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAiA3DETkAVK
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANACmJdoAag0O
Neil shrugged.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAg39Cygqp7K
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAnimVPx94GL
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAKuDazE34bH
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAfptfLsMcKV
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAZyeFwPVAb2
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANApNkthWySZ8
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.
247Please respect copyright.PENANATBq19aE0rS
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
247Please respect copyright.PENANALAXuizv3yQ
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANA1guNdQUQ7C
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAIWxhP4oPOe
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAqXbXhbt5LH
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAP6Syu2K1ov
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANA1Uoysd9uMD
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAm21vB27vT4
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANA91KqJHWftl
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAIM5DhBCKKU
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAscjPh6sBp6
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAh6TTqpqQz3
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANA5ny7Xbdzbt
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAgjEHiJyPtM
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
247Please respect copyright.PENANAFoioYZfN9r
Jimmy grinned.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAjzsw9JGYEw
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
247Please respect copyright.PENANANrjKPAmbbD
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
247Please respect copyright.PENANAB9y3mY93ci
“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.”
