A/N: sorry for not updating in a while. I've been busy this summer, so without further ado. Oh, and the reason I'm reposting the whole story is that I deleted all my story files by accident and I just now got help to get them back. I forgot to tell you this takes place after Sly3 but he never went with carmelita.
12:00 A.M. Somewhere in Rome.
It was a dark night, the only light came from the orange harvest moon. A tall dark figure came running across the rooftops. The silhouette was muscular looking, but sill looked thin. Jumping from roof to roof with great agility and prowess he proved very agile. A slick smile across his long muzzle, a cunning thought in his head. He put a finger up to an ear. The small earpiece buzzed for a few seconds then it silenced. A bored voice came in on his earpiece.
"This should be where you enter" the voice said nonchalantly. This evening was no different from all the others, which bored him to tears. Just in and out with the goods, the other end had a different idea.
"Got it" the dark figure exclaimed in a joking tone. He was excited for many reasons. He positioned himself onto the flagpole across the building. The flag of Rome was flapping in the small breeze. With a leap he made it across the large gaps of building. Ending his landing with a somersault. He walked quite casually to the sunroof of the Nigro Memorial Science Institute.
He examined the window and reached onto his back. He pulled out a small machine with a glowing tube on top. He pulled a lever on top and a small stream of glowing liquid squirted from the nozzle. Once the stream hit the side of the window it burned a hole in that spot. The shadow traced the whole entire window until it was totally disconnected.
He slowly lifted the glass to the newly established science institute. It was a tiny bit heavy but nothing that he couldn't handle. The edges were still white hot but he was used to it. He slipped in and landed on the floor without so much as a sound. The window was soon forgotten once it was closed and fused the same way it was opened. He scrounged around a small pouch on the side of his leg and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. As he put on the special pair of glasses the schematics for the whole institute came up to view.
"I've marked the room it's in on your 'specs'" the other voice came back on. "And on your way there you might want to find a good hiding spot. I am detecting another presence."
"Alright mother" he jokingly pushed at his friend. He broke out into a small jog.
As he made his way to the end of a corridor he heard a small noise. A faint click. He leapt up to a light on the ceiling. It was odd that this futuristic facility still had hanging lights. As he quickly jumped out of the way a thin female panther stepped into the hallway. While he was standing on the light his specs started to beep. it meant that a special something was coming near. Fearing being discovered he quickly put the glasses back in their pouch.
" Nope, I guess I just heard a noise" the panther said. She was dressed in the police uniform top. Blue short sleeve with a badge along with the shirt. She wore blue jeans and sneakers. She was black all over. Her eyes were green, deep green. She wore her hair in what looked like a bun. It was hard to tell in the light.
"Yuni, you hear everything there is to hear" came in a tall a masculine snow leopard. Unlike Yuni, apparently her name, this snow leopard was wearing a full police uniform. But, what set him out was the fact that he was all white. Save the two spots on his face. Both on his cheeks. He also seemed a tad bit more on the muscular side.
"Is that so, chief deep" the inexperienced constable said in a matter of fact voice. She did seem a bit young. At least 20, great a challenge his age. But, she seemed a tad bit on the eager side.
"Yes, that' so, and its DEPUTY chief SNOW" the deputy chief said. He seemed to not be the head honcho. "C'mon, we won't catch this thief standing around with our heads shoved up our butts" he used in his assertive tone.
They then both exited the hallway and the figure dropped form the ceiling. He then entered the room at the end of the hallway. He entered the room and slowly but suddenly stopped in his tracks. He took out his glasses and the room suddenly lit up with lasers of all sizes.
"Guess you'll have to wait until I can put down the lasers" the voice in his ear pointed out. This was his specialty.
"C'mon shorty , even a blind man can see this wall is elementary level ." he liked to rank security by levels.
There was an eirie silence between the two of them. He wondered what had caused the sudden silence. It took a couple of seconds for him to figure it out but then a look of realization and regret appeared on his long gray face.
"Sorry, about the whole blind thing" the figure apologized. He really did feel bad about that last comment. He couldn't help it, he made jokes without realizing it.
"Forget about it, oh, and its Jack not shorty, isn't that right Robert. " he explained. His revenge had been served.
Jack was a black border collie, who evidently was blind. His eyes were slashed out when he was trying to make a living. Both Jack(shorty) and Robert(fang) were orphaned as children. Both being left on the street to die, they both survived and were here now. Fang never knew his parents. He had been on the streets for all of his life. Jack witnessed his die when he was 6.
"Yeah, yeah, and its Fang not Robert" fang exclaimed with a bit of displeasure.
Jack knew that Fang hated to be called by his real name. The only reason he knew his real name because it was on a name tag on a collar he wore. He said he hated it, but deep down he probably kept it to be able to remember that even he once had parents. He had come up with the nickname because his personal favorite thing to do was to bite.
"Ok, the lasers are down… now" as he said it the lasers sputtered and came to a complete stop.
"Alright, I'm off. Let Big know I'm on my way" he said as he made his way to the locked file cabinet.
"And, tell him to step on it when I come back" he exclaimed as he heard a familiar sound of many feet padding on the floor. At least twenty paws came in his direction. He went straight to the filing cabinet Jack had marked on his specs.
Fang quickly and expertly picked the lock on the file cabinet. As he did so a small alarm went off alerting the feet already outside to where he was. He quickly grabbed a small file and a bag containing some items. Most of the items were small vials containing differently colored liquids. But on was a small machine with a few knobs and buttons. As he made his way to the window the deputy and the constable along with 20 other men appeared in the doorway. All the men were dressed in military grade vests and jeans.
"So your the thief who has been stealing those genetic decoders and some newly founded chemicals" the chief inquired in a tone that made Fang think he already it was him. The chief tried to see his face but it was hidden in the shadows. Fang had removed his glasses when all the people had burst in. The lights were off that particular night. Only the moonlight from a nearby window was the light.
"Not to mention a few parts from a technology institute for cars and weapons" Yuni added in pride. She never did get why the institute was devoted to only cars and weapons. She also could not see his face but she could see his eyes. She was surprised to see they had no pupils. Just gray irises, that she thought looked kind of cute. She blushed at this thought but got a hold of herself and turned to her target. When it looked like he was examining her she turned her head away and blushed. She turned to early to notice a small little change in the size of the irises.
Seeing this he turned to look at Deep for a little longer. But, he had seen everything in the hallway. He then looked at the mercenaries behind them. All of them were decent sized rhinos. All carrying guns that looked like small forms of Muggshot's own hand machine guns. He had to remember to tell him this when he saw him again.
"Yes, that was little old me, ain't I a stinker" he said in a joking tone. He just loved to say old fashioned terms.
Just then he heard a noise on the distance. A familiar noise that made him smile as it got louder and louder. This made him move closer to the window. As he did so the moonlight illuminated his face and muscular body. His coat was of the purest silver, with a large patch of white on his chest. He was wearing black shorts covered in a large mass of pockets. He was wearing a vest looking a lot like the mercenaries only smaller and a darker black. He wasn't wearing any shoes what so ever. As he did so the deputy saw and felt as though something had just hit his stomach with a train. But Yuni felt her face get hotter as she laid her eyes on him. He slowly opened the window, the police were to busy to notice. The mercenaries, well it was amazing they knew which way was up.
"Well, not that this wasn't a rousing intellectual conversation and I don't have to get to other things…" as he said it he jumped out of the window a blood red 2008 firebird drove by. A black Great Dane driving, and a Pitbull in the backseat. Both were wearing the same outfit
"What took you so long" the Pitbull said in a barking tone.
"Why only saying hi to a new set of friends" Fang said in a semi-coy tone.
As they drove away a stricken deputy was thinking furiously. He had seen that face before. Not recently mind you, but he had seen him before. The face just strict him as an important familiar person. Meanwhile thoughts were going rampant in Yuni's head. Why was she thinking these thoughts? Or, why was this guy so appealing to her. If he was appealing. They both were to confused to do anything. So they waited until some more people showed up and went back to the station.
Back at the station both Yuni and Deep were in their respective offices they were still thinking about that night. The more deep thought about it the angrier he got at himself for not knowing who it was. The more Yuni thought about it the more red her face turned.
Back at an old abandoned science facility the trio of canines walked in nonchalantly. The facility was in good shape on the inside, but on the outside it looked like it hadn't been used for ages.
"Lucy I'm home" Fang announced in a purposely obnoxious tone.
A/N: this is the new and improved chapter 1. Hope you like it. Please read and review, and yes, I have a thing about science facilities. So until next time, TA TA FOR NOW.
