Prologue: Prelude

The following events takes place after Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. The coming narration is from Bentley.

"It has been a year since the gang made that big heist. Does the Cooper Vault and Doctor M ring some bells? Well, you see, we have our own lives now. Murray is now a star in the racetrack. Quite famous, you see. Penelope and I are usually doing some heists. However, our friend Sly has some very interesting change. You see, after fighting Dr. M, he had this amnesia, or he pretended that he had amnesia, and well, Carmelita helped him out by telling that he was her enforcement partner. Well, the two lovebirds finally had the time to be together. It was all going well, until that sly raccoon decided to reveal to her that he was simply faking out the amnesia. It was a surprise though, since she took it rather quickly. She probably knew about it before… Oh well… there she goes again, chasing him. He returned back here in Paris, along with me and Murray…"

Location: Paris, France

A fat dog in a police suit knocked at the office door of Carmelita. "Excuse me officer," he coughed out as he waited for a response. After hearing a sign, he and his companion, a female raccoon, entered the room. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but the Interpol is getting worried about this case, about this Cooper Gang. As far as I know, they have been…"

"I know… I know," Carmelita cut him off. She then stared at the female raccoon cop wearing a black officer's cap, blue jacket, red inner shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes. "Who is she?"

"Ah," the dog grinned as he introduced this new face. "She is Ms. Alice Sherwood, a police officer in New York. When Interpol heard about her cases, they thought that she might help you out with this one. Now, I'll leave you two alone and talk about Sly." He then exited from the office, leaving Alice and Carmelita.

"So, um… hi!" the raccoon smiled as she looked straight at the vixen's eyes. "Well, um, I heard about your case with this Sly Cooper character and his gang… Apparently, they aren't your normal criminals…"

The vixen, who was making two cups of coffee, slightly laughed, "Of course they aren't. I thought you'd figure that out… It's nearly impossible to catch them… but I will get them… soon… eventually…" She then felt a bit dazed, especially after what happened before - her relationship with Sly.

"Eventually?" the female raccoon suddenly jerked out, startling Carmelita out of her thoughts. "You know… Hmm… Say, why not play fire with fire? You know, a skilled criminal against another…"

The fox suddenly gulped her sip. "You mean to say that we should hire a criminal to outsmart them?" she reacted. She then grabbed her gun and pointed at Alice, making her a bit shocked. "Are you really a police officer? Don't try to fool me! You see, I once worked with somebody, but it turned out that she was a traitor."

"Wait!" the raccoon suddenly exclaimed. "Look… judging by their records of crimes, I'm sure there aren't any criminals capable of matching this Cooper Gang… What I'm saying is that we could ask help from someone capable of outwitting them. Something like vigilantes…"

"Like what? Nobody, as far as I know, can get them like a snap!" Carmelita argued back without taking her weapon away. "And vigilantes? Oh no…"

"Hmm… Have you heard of the UO - Underground Organization?" Alice asked as she sat down to drink some coffee. "I have close… um… vigilante, or basically a group of vigilantes who are capable of dealing with them… Trust me… You'll have your Cooper Gang easily…"
