It was a brightly lit hall with high roofs. It was already crowded when they got there.
It was filled with rich people who were wolfing buffet foods, smoking and drinking alcohol;beer, brandy, beaujolais, champagne and many more and although they were not late, the men were already quite tipsy.
The hall was also filled with booming laughter, resounding. Waiters were also seen walking about with trays on their hands. They knew their purpose there and refused distraction. Penelope went straight in search of Mr Lewis and saw him at the edge of one of the buffet tables, talking with some men. She went beside him to take a drink and he was attracted to her, leaving his friends.
“Hey beauty.” His breath smelt of brandy. He had drunk a lot but not enough to make him drunk.
Penelope turned to him, putting a lock of her hair behind her ear. “Hi.” She swirled her glass.
“Hm, can I know you?”
In the meantime, Robin was watching from the landing, waiting for the perfect moment.
“My name is Ariana,” Penelope lied, flashing a smile.
Lewis grinned.”And I am…”
“Biden Lewis. Who wouldn’t know someone as important as you,” Penelope completed. It was more of a statement than a question.
Lewis grinned still. “You flatter me.”
Penelope swirled her glass and gulped its remaining content. “Shall I pour you a drink?”
“Sure,”Lewis answered, emptying his glass. “A drink from a lovely lady will be just fine.”
Penelope chuckled and poured him Brandy, watching the oily amber slosh in the glass.
“Thanks,” Lewis said and drank from his glass. Penelope poured him more until he became drunk. Almost immediately, a man in a dark suit walked to Lewis.
“Just a few seconds,” Lewis said to Penelope and staggered to the man. He collected a key and kept it in his suit's inner pocket before walking back to Penelope.
Robin acted immediately. He walked off the landing in strides and climbed the stairs before heading for Lewis. The latter was having a conversation with Penelope when he got there. He bumped into Lewis a little hard deliberately ,shifting the key up and stepped back.
“Oh my God. I am sorry,” Robin crooned. “Very,very sorry…”
Then he began to dust the suit a little hard,sweeping the key down. He twisted and thrusted his leg forward before lifting the back of his foot off his shoe slightly but enough to make a hole that the key fell into.
“ I am indeed very sorry…”
“ You horrible bastard!” Lewis said as Robin began to walk away.
Penelope placed a hand on Lewis’ chest. “ Let him alone. He must be really drunk.”
Lewis nodded and returned Penelope’s smile.
Robin located Jimmy after their communication with the earpiece.
Robin gave him the keys. “ Now I have given you the tools, you just have to hammer it.”
Jimmy grinned. “ Don’t worry I’ll use the sledge so I will hammer it just fine. Once again, thanks Robin.”
“ Hey, you still owe me one. Now go carry on your mission. Good luck!”
Jimmy nodded. Earlier Neil had informed him that the USB had been kept in a black box in a safe down the hallway.
Now as he walked out the hall,the music, the noise and smoke seemed to fade behind him and he shut the door, it was like he shut a part of him out.
The hallway was almost empty; he could see some men walking out and as he watched, he noticed that there were about five men in suits parading through the hallway.
We can take care of them, Jimmy thought and smiled.

Jimmy made for the door of his destination ignoring all calls. One of the men walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
“You…”
“Game changer,” Jimmy muttered.
“Uh…”
In a split second, Jimmy grabbed the man’s hand and twisted it, attracting a groan from the owner before kicking his leg and pushing him on the floor.
Another ran to him and Jimmy punched his face. He slid down to one kicking his leg, then he stood and kicked the man’s face. He dodged a blow and gripped his assailant's wrist and twisted it before throwing him.
A blow on his back took him off guard but he recoiled and gave the sender an uppercut that flung him, leaving him to land with a thud.
“SON OF A BITCH!” The last one hollered and ran at him.
“I think you should choose the right choice of words,” Jimmy said. “It should rather be, Son of a gun.”
He stared at the one who ran at him. Reaching him, he turned and backed him swiftly, grabbing his hand and pulling him over him as he had seen judo experts do.
Then all that remained under the roof and on the polished was Jimmy who grinned above them and the groaning and wincing men.
He didn’t waste time inwardly celebrating his triumph but moved onto the safe door. He held the door knob fishing out the key with the intention to unlock it when the door pushed slightly. He pushed it hard now and it swung open, thoughts beginning to fill his mind; so the key was useless after all. But who was in? Was it someone with his intention or one against him? Earlier had one of the men opened it? He didn’t think so but if that was the case, was the key gone?
The latter option disturbed him and he walked in. It wasn’t exactly a safe; there was a large flat television on the wall, a glass table was set in the middle with two chairs. At the place where a bed would have stood, there were cupboards and shelves and Jimmy thought, was I in the wrong room. He will have to check first.
He darted to the cupboard, scattering its contents. It must have been when he touched the shelf for he stopped dead as he heard a feminine voice.
“I see you came to get something,” the voice said. “Or rather to look for something.”
Jimmy turned slowly and saw her. She leaned against the wall in red, flashing a smile and he admitted she was a femme fatale. She was very attractive with a good body shape.

Who are you?” he asked with a hardened look.
