Sly Cooper

"Come on…let's get this mission over with!"

Chapter 1

"Briefing"


The Sly Gang was currently waiting in their safehouse in a dangerous part of Venice, Italy. A new 'villain' was in town, Vera. Bentley didn't think that her name suited herself. She was the last thing that would give people hope; she was the figure that stood out as terror. Everyone in Venice feared her; even the police force feared her. She was a raccoon just like Sly, except she knew a lot more then Sly when it came to being a thief. Sly was shocked to hear that someone is better than him at stealing. Bentley was even more shocked when they realized someone smarter than him was on the opposite team.

Bentley planned to get reconnaissance on the group members. They were having a big party tonight and no one would notice Sly taking pictures of the marvelous group below. After Sly has taken the reconnaissance photos he would have to wait another hour, undetected from local police. After the hour was up he would change back into his thieving clothes and make his way outside. He will follow Vera to her safehouse, all thieves would have to have one. After she went inside the safehouse, Sly will jump on a building where he can take some photos of her gang. Sly will have to stay near darkness so he can't get caught. After Sly is done he will return to the his safehouse and Bentley will process the photos and devise a plan.

Murray was off with the other group members, Sly and Bentley agreed to let them stay in Japan for a while. Sly knew something was up. No one could be a better thief then him; he had the Thievus Racoonus and a few other tricks. Bentley decided not to lay out the plans yet, but they decided to observe their enemy. Vera was better then Sly, but she looked nothing like Sly Cooper. Vera had black pants that latched onto her because if they were baggy she would be easily seen. The black pants reached above her ankles then it was cut short. She had a regular black shirt that also latched onto her body. She wore no shoes, only socks were seen. Her black socks matched the rest of her clothing, she must not like being seen. She had the same black mask tied around her eyes, just like Sly. She had a trench coat it reached all the way down to her feet and the upper-part reached her ears. The coat was buttoned near the middle part, starting near her breast and ending below her thighs. She must have worn the coat only when she is 'off duty.' Her hair was a dazzling crimson that flowed through the evening air.

"Ok, Bentley, enough with the descriptions I can see her through my Binoculars also." Said Sly

"Well I was just making sure. Also where is her intelligence manager? I want to catch a glimpse of the person who is 'better' than me." Exclaimed Bentley

"Calm down, we don't need the whole neighborhood knowing that there is famous raccoon inside of here!" said Sly calmly

"Famous raccoon? Hey Sly don't forget that all of the group helped earn your high reputation and also are part of it." Said Bentley

"Sorry, it's just wrong…that someone is better than me at stealing things. That is what I…I mean we are known for. We got to catch this thief. I want to learn how she does the job and still has time to look that good!" laughed Sly at the last remark.

"Well, suit up buddy we're in for a long night of planning and reconnaissance photos." Sighed Bentley

"No problem partner." At the last remark Sly ran into the bathroom and pulled on his thieving clothes, his mask remained on since he felt naked without it. He grabbed the cane and opened the door. The night breeze hit Sly's fur and brushed against his legs. He felt cold, something he hasn't felt in a while. He grabbed the nearest pole near him and climbed to the rooftops. Bentley and Sly were ready to start after the long brief of what was about to happen.
