This will be set after the third game but before the fourth game. Sly and Carmelita had been living together for a month after the events of the third game before Sly reverts to thieving and is caught by Carmelita. She gets angry and tells sly not to return home but she finds out something a couple of days later and needs him back.

All the characters do not belong to me, they belong to the game studios that created them.

Chapter 1

The Break in and Discovery

Carmelita was happy for the first time in many years. She had an excellent job with Interpol, a great reputation and was in a relationship with a great guy. That guy was Sly Cooper, he was once a master thief but while battling Doctor M he lost his memory so he now thinks he is a constable in Interpol, (quite a jump from thief to cop.) and in a relationship with Carmelita. They have been living together since the night on the island and they were both happy.

Carmelita was out one night on a patrol when she was told that there was a break in at a local museum. She and her partner went to the museum immediately. They made it there and went inside, weapons drawn. They finally came to the area that received the break in, an exhibit that held the canes of Slytunkhamen Cooper.

"Someone actually found one of Sly's ancestor's canes." Carmelita thought.

"Hey Carmelita." Her partner asked.

Carmelita turned and looked at her partner. "Yeah." She replied.

"Isn't your boyfriends and partners last name cooper?" He asked.

"It is, must be one of his ancestors." She replied thinking quickly.

"No offence but if he is your partner, how come I'm here?" He asked.

"He said he had an important errand to run." Carmelita replied. She still wondered what he had to do but she didn't like to pry into Sly's privacy.

They continued walking around and came up to one of the upper levels when they heard a noise coming from one of the exhibition rooms. Carmelita's partner went up to the door and looked in.

"Got one suspect in the room, big guy, looks like a hippo." Her partner said.

"Hippo?! I hope it's only a coincidence. I hope it's not one of Sly's Friends." Carmelita thought.

"Ok on my count we go in and get them. On three." Carmelita whispered. "One... Two... Three." She counted down

They both burst into the room and found the thief. They both had their torched on him and it was indeed Sly's friend Murray.

"Don't Move." The partner ordered.

"Aww man. I got busted." Murray said while he put his hands up.

"Where are the canes?" Carmelita asked.

"They don't belong to the museum, they belong to Sly, but as he has couldn't remember who he was we're going to keep them safe for him, like we have his cane for him." Murray said.

Carmelita was about to reply when she saw another movement off to her right and she aimed her shock pistol at it. "Come out where I can see you." She shouted. She pointed her torch at the shadow and caught in the beam was Sly and on his back were the two canes of Slytunkhamen.

Carmelita was shocked and confused. Sly was robbing the museum that was obvious but how could he remember he was a thief he had amnesia. Then she realised he must have been faking. She was crushed, she thought that Sly was never going to thieve again but she was proven wrong. She thought she had found the perfect man but he had lied to her

"Sly? Why are you here?" She asked hoping it wasn't really Sly.

"Carmelita i..." Sly began but was cut off

"You never had Amnesia, didn't you?" She asked coming close to tears.

Sly looked down as he replied with a simple "No."

Carmelita's Partner walked over to Murray. "Hey how about we go into another room so they can talk in privacy." He suggested.

"That sounds like a really good idea." Murray replied. They both snuck out of the room leaving Sly and Carmelita alone

"Why?" Carmelita asked.

Sly was slightly confused. "Why what, why did I lie or why did I thieve."

"Both." She said

"I stole the canes because they are a part of my family's legacy and I lied because I wanted to be with you. I loved you. The canes were the only thing I was going to steal and besides it not really stealing" Sly said.

"I just can't believe you lied, were you ever going to tell me you were faking?" She asked

"I was going to tell you but I would always put it off think you would be angry and kick me out."

"Sly don't bother coming back tonight because I am kicking you out. But for my last ounce of love for you, you can go with the canes." Carmelita told him.

The other walked back in and Murray and Sly left.

Carmelita turned to her partner and said. "Take me home."

Her partner nodded and they both left. They both agreed they never saw Sly and they were too late

Once she was home she took off her badge and shock pistol and laid on her bed, realising for the first time in a while she would be alone. She started to cry and on the other side of the city in the cooper safe house Sly and Murray walked in, Sly walked straight past Bentley, Penelope, The Panda King, Dmitri, The Guru, into his bedroom laid on his bed and did the very same thing.
