Carmelita the thief
What happens when Carmelita commits a theft in the name of the law? She might get addicted to it. Then again she might hate it so much that she goes back to Interpol, but what fun is that?
She had to do it. She would despise herself for it but she had to do it. She was on a job for Interpol to try to steal the drug rings roster because they couldn't get a warrant to search the premises. So he she was sneaking through the halls and corridors of the ring leader's mansion, avoiding guards and laser alarms. At first she thought she would hate it, but she got a natural high from the thieving and sneaking and now she knew why Sly Cooper loved it so much. The adrenaline was pumping and she was having fun doing the thing she was against! She made it to the safe, and using the code that the chief had given her she got the roster. Now making it out was the hard part, she had guards that she had knocked out that could possibly come out of unconsciousness in the next few minutes, and they would be aware of her presence. So she looked around and got an idea as she saw a drainage pipe outside of the window of the office, she climbed out the window and shinnied up the pipe to the roof where there was the private helicopter for the ring leader. She hotwired it and flew it to the rendezvous point in the mountains.
Next morning
She just couldn't stop thinking about it, the rush, the feeling, the high; she had to get more, but how? Oh how could she possibly join the other side of the law? Her reverie was interrupted by a certain raccoon thief at her window.
"Why Miss Fox, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were joining my side of the law"
"Can it cooper, and just how did you know about that fiasco last night?"
"Well I was planning on stealing that same roster you did but when I saw you going for it I just sat back and watched the show"
"By the way why do you thieve? Is it because of the money? The jewels? Or is it something else entirely?"
"I steal because of the rush, the pure adrenaline it produces it just excites me so much, I'm addicted to thievery like a drunk is addicted to beer. Not the money, I could have retired long ago, the jewels, no if you saw how many I have you would faint, no it's the rush I get from stealing."
"I thought so, to tell the truth I think I'm addicted to it as well. I just don't know how to get that feeling any way else. Do you think you could help?"
"Well I don't know if I can or not, I mean how can I help you with that?"
"You are a thief aren't you? So I want to turn to thievery and you are the only criminal I know. So can I join your gang, at least until I learn the basics?"
"umm I don't know I would have to talk it over with Bentley and Murray, so after I do I will contact you tomorrow evening, say over coffee?"
"Are you asking me out?"
"If you say yes"
"Okay, over coffee then"
"No, absolutely not"
"Why Bentley?"
"Because we don't know whether or not she is telling the truth"
"We could keep her under close supervision at all times"
"Oh yeah what about when she is asleep?"
"I could do that" said sly with a mischievous look on his face.
Bentley rolled his eyes. "No sly, its just that she is our enemy and I don't trust her"
"But Bentley, you forget that she is not our enemy, she is an….undecided friend"
"Whatever, well alright she can join, but only if you keep an eye on her"
"My pleasure" Says Sly again with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
Later that afternoon
"Its decided, you get to join the cooper gang. But Bentley and Murray still don't trust you so, they told me to keep an eye on you while we are on a job."
"That's okay, it is to be expected that they don't trust me I guess"
"So when can you join?"
"As soon as I resign from Interpol"
"Can you do it tomorrow?"
"Yes, I can"
"Good ill have Bentley draw up some plans for a simple heist that will help you train a little bit"
Carmelita looks at sly a little funny "Well alright"
That night
Sly was sitting on the roof across from the bank with Carmelita, instructing her on how to do the rail walk. "It's a lot like tightrope walking except for the fact that the rope in tight rope walking is usually bigger, so just keep you balance and just concentrate on the other side" they had practiced a little at the safe house, on a piece of rope a few feet off the floor and she was fairly good at it, but Sly didn't know if she was going to be able to make it across the 50 foot gap between the buildings. His binocucom rang at that moment and Bentley told them it was green, so sly jumped on the rope and ran across and Carmelita followed with a little bit of wobbling. Making it to the other side he saw his access point, a ventilation shaft heading down into the building. When Carmelita got across, he pointed to the way in and told her to belly crawl through it. When they emerged on the other side there was a laser wall, sly nimbly jumped through it and told Carmelita to try to get through with out touching any lasers, she looked around and saw that there was only one way through and it was going to be hard to get through, so she took a deep breath and dashed through the first hole, rolled through the second, and slid under the third. As she emerged breathless, Sly clapped, and patted her on the back. They went on down the corridor and found the vault. It was a fortress of steel and titanium, but sly just laughed, because the lock on it was a combination lock. "pay attention on how to break into one of these safes" Sly said as he walked up to the safe and put his ear to the door, as he twisted the knob he waited for the telltale click that would signal that the pin had been triggered, he then switched the direction. When the safe opened they grabbed a few money bags and started out, on the same path.
Later that night
"Okay I think that considering it was her first bank heist Carmelita did fairly good with everything we threw at her, but now we have to pack up and leave for Australia, Sydney to be exact, for a few weeks, we have a contractor there for us to work for, he's leaving all the planning to us. Alright so let's pack up, and move out."
"Alright you heard Bentley, so Murray you and Bentley get his tech stuff, me and Carmelita will get the clothes and loot. What are you standing around for, go, go, go.
As they went off to do all of their assigned jobs Sly snuck off to his secret hiding spot behind the fridge to get the Thevious Raccoonus. After that he found Carmelita who asked. "what were you doing ringtail?"
"I was getting, uh snacks for the trip"
"Okay but hurry up, I've always wanted to see Sydney"
They got to work and in a half hour they had everything packed up and ready to go, and they had some free time before they left for the airport. So Sly took her to his favorite restaurant.
