I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHEN THE SHORT "TIMING IS EVERYTHING" TAKES PLACE. DISCLAIMER I OWN NOTHING. AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEIR ANIMATED LOOKS. NOT THEIR CGI LOOKS.

RE-EDIT

It's another boring day at Interpol HQ. The cops are lounging around eating donuts, drinking coffee, playing darts, or are just waiting for a call for action. Across the main area is a office that belongs to Interpol's most top officer. Carmelita Fox, the fox is a beautiful young woman in her mid-twenties with brownish-orange fur, a mole under her left eye, and thick, wavy blue hair with bangs tied in a braid by a gold hairband.

Her outfit includes a dark blue midriff-baring top that zips in the front, form-fitting dark blue jeans, and a choker from which her INTERPOL badge hangs. She wears a long sleeved yellow leather jacket (zipped up) and yellow leather gloves. She wears a golden hoop piercing on the top of her left ear. Carmelita wears long dark-brown combat boots. Even though her jacket is zipped up. Some cleavage can be seen.

She sighed and rubbed her eyes. The effect of nothing much going on is getting to her too. Its been two weeks since Carmelita's last major case and its been over a month since she last seen Sly Cooper and his gang. For most of that time, she's been looking through files, patrolling the streets, and busting low level thugs. Which has few and far between. During the patrols, she'll look up on the roofs to see if she'll spot a certain raccoon running along them.

Carmelita would be disappointed when there wasn't at least a person on them. She sighed and got up from her wooden chair and walked towards the window. As she peered out of it, looking at the clear sky. She couldn't help but think about ring tail.

The feelings she has for Sly are starting to dull to the point they are hanging on a thread. She sometimes wishes that he was on her side, the law's side. But he is a thief, and it would be bad for a really good cop like her to date a really good thief like him.

But it wouldn't matter, if she ever threw him behind bars. That's it, he's caught and they can't date while he is in jail and her feelings for him will die anyway. 'Maybe I should see other people?' Carmeilta thought herself. It doesn't sound like a bad idea.

In her time as a cop and before she became one. The young hasn't found a man that could woo her like Sly can. But her feelings for him are almost gone, 'Maybe I should start dating...' But her train of thought is cut off when she heard a knock on her door. "Inspector Carmeilta Fox, the chief wants to see you." Said a male's voice from behind the door. Carmeilta looked at the door and called out. "Ok, tell him I'll be there in a few minutes." The officer on the other side told her he will.

In a few minutes she left her office and is heading to the chief's office. She now stood in front of her boss' door. Knocking on the wood a few times. "Come in Inspector." The Chief said knowing that it's her, she opened the door and stepped inside. The chief's office is no different then hers other then it being a bit bigger. "Close the door." He gruffly said. Carmeilta did so and walked in front of his desk and sat down in the chair.

The chief is sitting in his chair, smoking his cigar. After a few puffs he looks to her and says. "Carmeilta, the reason I called you in here is because I got a case for you." A bubble of excitement inside Carmeilta's gut started to form. But she looked professionally on the outside.

"Whats the case sir?" She asked, the chief took another puff and then continued. "We've got a report that Mugshot stole a priceless gold watch from a highly rated jewel store." He informed her. Carmeilta is surprised to hear that Mugshot popped on the radar. After the airplane fighting thing, she put him behind bars. But she did hear he got out on good behavior.

'Well that must have been a ploy.' She thought, she asks in a serious tone. "Do we know where he is?" The chief nodded his head and grabbed a file out his desk and gave it to her. She opened it and it showed pictures of an airfield and a huge cargo plane. "He is going to this airfield in three days and use that plane to ship the watch to America so he can sell it on the black market."

She nodded in understanding, the fox continued to look through the file while her boss spoke again. "The airfield is located in Sweden. There's a small chance you might get to him before the dog gets to the airfield. As you know he's banned on all public flights and transport of any kind. Again, small chance."

Carmelita absorbed the words, 'It's a chance I have to take.' She said in her head. "Carmelita." The chief's firm voice snapped her out of her thoughts. Looking up, she sees the chief's face is very stern. "If Mugshot somehow gets that watch into American waters. It's over, it won't be our problem anymore. And if other places found out we failed a job, then it won't look good for us."

Nodding, "I understand. So when do I leave for Sweden?" She asked. "In three hours." He stated bluntly. "Three hours!? Why in that short amount of time?" Carmelita asked in shock, "Because it was the only way to get you there faster. A day later and Mugshot can be long gone." He explained.

There was bit of tension in the room that the two didn't speak for a good minute, "Ms. Fox," He went formal. "I know this is on short notice. But you are the only one who can do this." Those words really touched her heart. The chief isn't really known for his compassion. "Ok, I'll do it." She said determined.

The chief smiled. He knew he can always count on her. "That's what I like to hear." He went into his desk again and grabbed a plane ticket and gave it to her. "You need to hurry Carmeilta or you'll miss your flight." She saluted to him and left his office.
