Chapter 2: New Faces

The next morning when Sly woke up, he got out of bed and slightly opened Carmelita's door to see if she was awake but to his surprise she wasn't there, so he figured she probably left and wanted to get breakfast or something.

Thinking of the word breakfast just made Sly's stomach growl, so, he decided to quickly just walk to the coffee shop two blocks over.

xxxxxxx

As Sly was walking across the street to find his favourite coffee shop, he heard the sound of police sirens, he looked behind him only to find a young looking grey wolf, he had dark brown- almost copper-ish hair, carrying a bag of apples and appeared to be sprinting away from two officers on heavy pursuit for him in their car.

Sly was without words, he remembered what it was like when he himself was at a young age like that scared wolf, he only had one thought "I've got to help him."

Sly sprinted after the wolf and grabbed him and carried him bridal style through an alley, he wasn't heavey, very light, maybe 15 or 16.

"Let me go!" He said while squirming in my arms and trying to bite me.

"Kid, listen I'm just trying to help y-" but before Sly could finish his sentence he was interrupted, by none other than-

"COOPER!" Carmelita Montoya Fox shouted as she jumped off the rooftops, landing right in front of them, "STOP! Put the fugitive down right now! Come on Sly, I don't know what you're doing, or why, but we can sought this out without any casualties, come on partner."

"Carmelita, I'm sorry, I can't." and with that, Sly took a stronger hold of the wolf and put him on his back and sprinted off, dodging Carmelita, and pushing down trashcans to stop her from following them.

"I HATE YOU SLY COOPER!" she shouted, "I can't believe you would betray me like this…"

Sly ran down the alley coming to an open and busy market place, he could have sworn Carmelita shouted something but he didn't hear what-

"Put me down! Who are you and why are you doing this!" he asked me after breaking hold of my grip.

"Listen Kid-"

"My name's Dean!" he shouted at me.

"Listen DEAN," I said grabbing him and taking him back into the safety of the shadows in the alley, after noticing people were beginning to stare, "I just saved you from landing in prison, just listen, my name's Sly, and right now, we have cops on our tails, we might as well just work together until the heat cools off."

"Fine." I heard him mumble.

I smiled, to offer some reassurance. I looked around the market place, there were vendors and fruit sellers all over the place, I looked for signs, I couldn't find anything,

"We're at the Lygume Market." Dean said as he looked up at me,

"Thanks." I took out my phone, "I'll get us out of here."

I dialled the number that I thought I wouldn't be calling for a long time, a part of me was nervous about the reaction I might get from the request but I was out of options,

"Hey Sly." Murray said as he picked up his phone on the other end.

"Listen Murray, I need your help, bring the van to the Lygume Market, and hurry."

And with that, Sly hung up his phone, sat down inside the alley and waited for Murray, he had no idea what to do, in doing this little act of goodness, to save Dean from what would happen to him, he had given up what he had achieved with Carmelita,

"Thanks for saving me Sly." Dean said, sitting down near Sly. Sly noticed he actually had emerald green eyes, and pale white lips, he couldn't help but smile, he was cute- wait, did he just think Dean was cute?

"No problem Dean." He smiled, he wasn't going to get cought up in his thoughts, but before they could carry on with the conversation Murray's van pulled up and Bentley hopped out and started looking for Sly. Sly stood up and told Dean to come with them as they approached the van and Bentley smiled,

"It's good to have you back Pal." Bentley smiled at Sly,

"It's good to see the van again." Sly said returning the smile, and rubbing the side of the van with the Cooper signature racoon calling card.

"Who's the wolf?" Bentley eyed Dean suspeciosuly,

"Bentley, I'll explain later, right now, can we please get to the safehouse?" Sly asked, helping Dean into the van, "It's been quite a rush and I think it would be best if we get back to the safe house and strategise our next move."
