1. Round-up The Gang

ACT I

Chapter 1: Round-up the Gang

The laboratory was dark, cool, and damp. Scattered around the floor were blueprints of weapons, gadgets, and modifications that would never be created. The television was on, but nobody was watching it. Bentley, the owner of the lab and former Cooper Gang member, was at a desk scattered with empty papers and history books.

Also on the desk was a large monitor showing Kaine Island, the location of the Cooper family's fortune worth millions. Over the past months there have been attacks on the island, obviously trying to get at the treasure. Bentley had gone there dozens of times updating and repairing the security. But one thing was certain, whoever was doing it knew exactly what they were doing.

It had been over 6 months since Sly's disappearance, but it still felt like it was only the day after. Confused, Bentley turned toward a wall covered with postcards with the symbol of Penelope, former Cooper Gang member and Bentley's Ex. Penelope had broken out of jail about 3 months ago, and ever since, Bentley has been getting strange postcards from her. One of the little street cafe they would visit every day, another from the park where they shared their first kiss.

As these memories flooded back to him, Bentley turned toward The Thievius Raccoonus, a book that held all the secrets of the Cooper family line. Bentley was studying it in his free time. Bentley was also checking it constantly for any sign where Sly was, or if he was alive. As all this grief was hitting him all at once, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" he said.

"Eric."

"Oh, come on in." Bentley said with one glimmer of light in the world.

Eric Weasel walked into the room. Eric was a tall slim weasel. Over the 6 months of Sly's absents, Bentley had found Eric while going to visit Carmelita Fox at Interpol. Eric had pulled Bentley aside, into his office. There, Eric told Bentley about his secret job of being thieves' inside man. He had this job at Interpol just to keep the current thief updated on his noticeability at Interpol. Eric exclaimed about how it would be his dream to work with the Cooper Gang, and how he could keep the cops off their back while Bentley and Murray searched for Sly. Bentley willingly accepted the offer.

"Have you found anything about Sly?" asked Eric.

"No I haven't" Bentley said. As if on cue, the alarm on the casing of The Thievius Raccoonus went off.

"What's going on?" Eric exclaimed.

"Someone is tampering with The Thievius Raccoonus again."

Bentley wheeled over to the case and took out the book. Bentley opened the book to the tampered page, the page of Slytankhamen Cooper, Sly's ancestor from Ancient Egypt. Bentley took a moment to read the new material. He turned off the alarm, and turned back to Eric with a large grin on his face.

"Eric, round-up the gang"
