Chloe: They're actually longer than your others

Really? Oh, ok! So…….ok I don't own Sly, Bentley, Murray or the rest of the Cooper Gang, Interpol, France, or anything that has © next to it! Buuuuuuuut, I do own Chloe Cooper, Murray's new girlfriend (MUHAHAHAHAHA! cough) Chloe's apartment, the news reporter, Leon Brown and any one or thing not mentioned or created for or in the Sly Cooper series! But boy do I! Ok, I've bored you enough! Time for Chapter two!!!!

After Chloe's "outing" to Mousier Brown's, she returned to her apartment she once shared with her ex-boyfriend.

Shutting the painted wooden door to her bedroom for privacy, Chloe slipped out of her black dress then hung it in the almost empty wardrobe. While putting the dress on to a hanger, her eyes fell up on an old framed photograph of the orphanage. Small children, teenagers and young adults stood neatly in lines up on each platform, all smiling as the sun shone above. Among the back row stood an 18 year-old Sly, Bentley and Murray, each knowing that they were going to leave their childhood home the very next day.

There was a small black curled object in the top right of the picture. Chloe narrowed her eyes and realised that the picture was taken while her almost 17 year-old self was running away from the orphanage. Chloe put the picture face down in the wardrobe then took out her pajama top and bottoms. Returning into the living room fully dressed to relax for the rest of the evening, Chloe sat down on the grey sofa opposite the television which was currently lifeless. With one click of the on button the television fizzed to life showing the late night news reporter starting a new story.

"And in resent news," The lemur began "former race driver Murray had announced that he will be retiring from his passion for racing. Although we don't know what the reason is for his retirement, we have him in the studio tonight," The camera turned to a large pink hippo sitting in a swivel chair identical to the lemurs.

"Good evening Murray," he greeted.
"Good evening Tom," Murray replied, his hands clasped together in his lap.

"So, Murray, the big question all your fans have been asking, why retire after such an unlucky streak of first place wins in the last month?"

"Well, I guess my heart just hasn't been in it, there has been a lot on my mind at the moment…" Murray trailed off, looking deep in thought.

"Would you care to share it with us?"
"I'd rather not…"
"Ok….so, as rumor has it, there's a new girl on the scene?" Tom asked, a smile creeping up on his face. Chloe's mouth stood agape and yet she couldn't bring herself to tear away from the screen.

"Yeah, I guess the rumors are true," Murray replied.

"Even when you and your ex only broke up only a month ago?"

"I guess I got over her quickly,"

"He what!?" Chloe shouted at the screen. A picture of a white tigress faded on to the screen behind the men.

"And that's all we seem to have time for, it was nice to have you on the show Murray," Tom said, holding his earpiece close ear. The closing music rang through Chloe's ears. She just sat there, confused, shocked.

It was Sunday morning. Chloe was looking in the mirror that hung on the bathroom wall. Her eyes had turned slightly bloodshot and puffy. I was crying? She asked herself. She shook her head violently. Her head told her she didn't care about the break-up, but her heart ached from the news she heard last night.

Now dressed in her normal daily attire, Chloe put on her hooded jacket and unlocked her apartment door. Stepping outside, she turned to lock the door once more. Once outside, Chloe walked down the concrete path, her head hung low, her face obscured from sight by her long brunette hair. She placed her hands in her jackets low front pockets.

Some way near the main shopping center, Chloe heard a couple bickering about some random van. She looked up as they drew closer to her, only to see Murray and his new girlfriend. He had his arm around the tigress's waist, holding her close to him as they walked together. The tigress wore tight jeans that hugged on to her curved hips for dear life. Her rose pink t-shirt came down to under her chest, showing off her flat belly. She had short violet hair which sort of spiked up and flopped at the same time.

Hoping that neither of them saw her, Chloe lowered her head once more, balling her hand into fists covered by the pocket material. Walking past the couple, Chloe accidentally brushed with Murray's shoulder quite hard, causing them both to swing to the side slightly on impact.

"Hey!" He shouted, "Watch where ya going!"

"Don't bother with her Murray, she's obviously to stuck up to care less," The tigress joined in, Chloe froze in her tracks as the couple resumed walking. She didn't turn around, but made a big mistake.

"Who you callin' stuck up, you low life sun of a- " Cooper clasped her hands over her mouth before she said anything else. Crap! I'm seriously in trouble now! True to her thought, Murray came striding up from behind her. Crap!

"Excuse me, miss," Murray began, tapping Chloe on the shoulder, his tone firm and meaning business, "But what were you about to call her?" Chloe's tail waved nervously behind her as she tried to think of some way to get her out of this. Play it cool! For the love of God play it cool!!! Her mind screamed. She suddenly had an excellent idea. She laughed playfully, her back still towards Murray, who had a confused look on his face.

"I thought you knew everythin'….honey?" She teased. She raised her head and let Murray make eye contact with her before quickly placing her hands on his pink cheeks and meshing her lips against his. Okay, this didn't go to plan, but hey, it still worked! She thought, closing her eyes as they kissed. Chloe took the kiss one step further by tilting her head to the right and slipping her tongue between his lips. She felt his body tense up, but he didn't push her away.

"MURRAY!" The tigress screamed at the top of her lungs. She charged toward them, anger and rage bubbling uncontrollably.

Chloe broke away from the lip lock and winked at the stunned Murray flirtatiously before running off just as his girlfriend made a grab for her hair, luckily she missed.

Chloe slowed down a few meters away from Murray and his girlfriend. She heard him shout:

"Liana! Don't!" But it was too late. Chloe turned around but received a blow in the jaw from Liana. She hurtled backwards, her back hitting the concrete as her legs gave way from beneath her.

"No bitch kisses my man!" Liana announced, satisfied that she'd made her point. She started to walk away, clueless that the female raccoon had scrambled to her feet.

Cooper delivered a high kick with her right foot in between Liana's shoulder blades, making her fall to the ground face first.

"Ya don't own him," Chloe looked up to see Murray running over to the scene.

"Chloe, stop this! You don't know what you're doing!" he exclaimed.

"I know exactly what I'm doin'! Defendin' your ass from this chick who thinks she owns ya! An' now you're tellin' me to quit? Is this the thanks I get?"

"Look, I know that maybe you didn't want us to break up-"

"To right I didn't!"

"But I've moved on-"

"Oh yeah, I know that! Ya got over me quickly, that's what ya said! Might as well tell everyone! Oh no, wait, ya already did!" She shouted, tears blurring her vision.

"Chloe! I didn't want to hurt you!"

"Well, well done, Romeo! You defiantly left a hole in my heart!" Warm tears of anger matted Chloe's grey fur, each falling from her eyes like a never ending water fall.

Unknown to both raccoon and hippo, Liana had slipped away, not wanting to be involved in the heated discussion.

"Damn it Murray! Why'd ya have to go all over protective all of a sudden!?"
"Well if you weren't flirting with that geezer Mat then maybe we'd still be together!"

"Oh so this is my fault now!? I wasn't flirting with him!"
"Then what were you doing?!"

"Enjoying a night out for once!"

"Well you were defiantly doing that!"

"Ya know what, stuff this, if it isn't gonna get into your head that I still love you, then-" Chloe cut off by accident.

"Y-you what?" Murray asked, feeling a pang of guilt strike him. Chloe shut her eyes and bit her bottom lip. She knew what she said was true.

"You heard," She whispered before turning around. She ran back to her apartment.

So, good or bad? Let me know! Thankies!
