As the gang pulled up at the address given to them, a dark haired lion in a tuxedo opened up the door to let them in, he handed sly a package and took the painting deeper into the building, the gang then left and as they were driving to the airport (having already packed up all supplies) sly opened the package and out fell a video tape, he popped it into the vans built in movie theater and hit play, immediately Sly's father's face appeared on the screen.

"Son, if you are hearing this that means that you have read the theivious raccoonus and have become a master thief, but there is much more for you to learn, even as you watch, your younger cousin has a second part of the thevious racconus, and it is up to you and whoever you may make friends with on the way to find him, teach him, and learn from him, so that he may find his true calling"

"Dad, it is so great to hear your voice again" Sly said to no one in particular.

"You must really miss him" Carmelita said as she hung over the seat to watch the video and hear what it had to say

"Yeah, I just wish that that bastard clockwork and his gang had left us alone, but then I never would have met either Bentley or Murray, but I would have especially missed meeting you" Sly said as he leaned over and kissed Carmelita on the cheek

(Thanks be to slylady for writing most of this, I edited it SLIGHTLY not a lot but I really do thank her for the deep and emotiontal thing here)

Carmelita looked at Sly as her heart kept skipping beats every now and then. She touched her lips with her gloved hand, were he had just kissed her. His brown orbs and her chocolate orbs gazed into each other's; they were both wondering what the other one had felt. She wanted to react, to kiss him back to show that she loved him back, but her body felt like it was a ton of bricks. She could hardly breathe, Carmelita sat there, her heart still quaking with all sorts of emotions pouring out into the open. Did she love him? Was he just tricking her again? All she felt was a strong knot in her stomach as she looked at him, all these questions buzzed around in her head as emotions swirled through her. His face remained solemn as he stared at her with his loving eyes.
