Chapter 2

Leaping the span between rooftops an older Calmelita landed first on the Neon sign that marked the police station and then onto it's very roof, her form hidden in the shadows as she pulled out her googles from around her neck, an item that Dominic had fashioned for her, along with one for each member of their team, and stared down and zoomed in at the door as two figures walked out. The first, a female black cat, stepped out of the building in knee high grey heels, a short purple skirt, grey halter top and denim jacket. Once out she turned back to the door and waited for her partner for the night to exit.

Carmelita couldn't stop herself from the loud sigh that she omitted from seeing none other than top INTERPOL officer Sly Cooper. Even for a 'night of enjoyment' the officer was wearing his navy patrol jacket with star badge still pinned to the fabric, and his ever present shock pistol strapped to his side, always on him in case of something or someone causing trouble. Then there was his hat, navy blue like his jacket though of a simple design and much like the shock pistol it never left his side.

As Carmelita glared Dominic's voice, along with his picture in the corner of the goggles screen, interrupted her thoughts regarding the pair below and Cooper's decision to go out with any pretty little thing in a skirt.

"Co-cooper is out, n-now's your ch-chance to get in and g-get out, the twins can distract C-cooper should his date end e-early."

Carmelita turned her attention from the pair below towards the building and task at hand and looked into the windows of the now darkened police station. "Great so what do you suggest?" In the windows a few lights flickered on Carmelita could see the pinpoints of red from the sensors.

"Well s-seeing as how one of C-coopers right hand men,B-bently most likely set up m-many precautions against you s-simply entering, I would suggest using, the v-ventalation shafts to your roght." The fox pulled her Binocucom off and placed it in the side pouch that she had strapped to the left as she turned to the right and caught sight of the very vent that Dominic was talking about. She smiled as she caught sight of dents within the vents opening and unfastened her family's passed down weapon from her right hip.

It was much like a grappling hook, though in simple terms it was a length of rope with a golden hook fastened to either end of the thick worn cord, the weapon itself had passed through many of her ancestors hands until it ended up where it was now. With the thick familiar rope in her hands she wound it up and aimed for the vent covering, at the right moment she launched one of the ends and with luck had managed to latch onto the covering on her first try. With a quick pull the covering was off and another toss of one of the ropes ends she began her climb into the vent and her trip through the vent into the police station.

Once inside she came face to face with wall to wall security, pressed a button on the intercom she had brought along knowing that it would contact Dominic from the van. Within seconds the Owls voice aswered her call and after Carmelita explained the situation she was in the brains of the operation instantly went to work to fix the problem.

"R-right you can't get th-through that, just give me a s-second and I should b-be able to hack into th-their system." From Dominic's side Carmelita could hear the clicking of a keyboard being pressed as Dominic made his way past as many of Bently's programs as he could without being caught, as time passed a few of the lasers dissappeared and the keyboard tapping stopped with an apologetic voice Dominic apoligized.

"S-sorry Carmelita, but if I t-take any more down B-bently will be sure to notice."

Carmelita smiled from her end even though she knew Dominic would be unable to see it "Hey don't worry about it, I mean if you took down all the lasers it would take all the fun out of this." Before Carmelita could end the call from her side Dominic added a last bit of advice.

"W-well it may be fun for you, b-but just be sure not t-to touch any of the l-lasers, unless you w-wnat to be fried to a crisp. Also, C-cooper's office should be f-found just beyond a red door."

With a final nod to no one in general Carmelita cut her side of the signal and began maneuvering her way through the maze of high power lasers, she made her way to the end of the hall and turned, a smile breaking out acrossed her face as the red door that Dominic had mentioned came into view. After making her way down the second hall, a bit more energy in her movements due to the knowledge that the case file was just on the other side of the door, and just as she reached it and went to turn the handle she stopped dead in her tracks all because she found that the one thing between her and the information she need was locked.

Looking around for another way to the otherside she almost laughed to herself at the stupidity of INTERPOL for being dumb enough to leave a window open. Ducking through the opening to the platform outside smiling wider when she found a ledge that ran along the wall, leading to yet another open window, that one leading right into Inspector Cooper's office.

As Carmelita neared the window she was notified of an incoming call on her equipment and so while still inching her way along the ledge she pressed the button on her intercom again and answered.

"Please tell me you have good news for me." She said as she made it to the open window and after removing herself from the ledge entered the lone office of none other than the only INTERPOL officer that seems dead set on catching her and her group.

"W-well yes." Came Dominic's reply and as she waited for her friend to continue Carmelita neared Cooper's desk taking her time in the office as she investigated and examined the many knick knacks that he had occupying the space. "I h-have the vault c-combination, which i-is 9-3-7."

Having heard that Dominic had the vault combo Carmelita stopped in her snooping, though not before she snatched some of Cooper's belongings, and quickly opened the vault, inputting the code that Dominic had told her. After retrieving the case file, which had a picture of her clipped to it, and replacing it with one of her signature calling cards she made her way to the window and stopped to relay her progress to her friend.

"I got the file and am heading back, just make sure the twins are back and the van is ready by the time I get to the end of the parking lot." As she finished the owl's voice was replaced with that of a familiar voice belonging to the young calico cat, someone who the thief could picture smiling their trade mark gap toothed smile.

"You got it, and try to hurry up, Ciel can't keep Mister Inspector distracted for long." Before Carmelita could even reply the Calico hung up and she found that Dominic had finished what he need to say, so after cutting her side of the signal once again, Carmelita stepped out onto the fire escape and made a quick leap down to the ground level.

In the distance she could hear the screeching of tires as the groups getaway vehicle was driven to the rendezvous point that the group had agreed upon earlier. Carmelita made her way past the parked cars to the edge of the lot, tightening her grip on the case file as out of the blue a large bolt of electricity came flying a few inches from her nose. Whirling around to face the source of the shot the thief wasn't shocked at all upon seeing none other Inspector Cooper, shock Pistol pointed and ready to fire once again.

"Well if it isn't my favorite Criminal." Cooper said as he twirled the pistol around his finger, from their meetings in the past Carmelita could tell that the raccoon was stalling, and at this point she could play along with his game.

"Well, I'm kinda in a hurry right now, you see I had actually just gotten what I was looking for." Carmelita flashed the file before the inspector and flashed a smile as her tail swished in time with his. Sly took a step in her direction and stopped.

"Actually that is why I'm here, I had to cut my date short because Bentley got a message that stated someone had taken the file." He aimed the pistol at her again and then outstretched his free hand. "Now if you could return that little file, along with the Indian Sun Mask, I can return both to their rightful places and we can continue our conversation once you are behind bars."

Carmelita shrugged off her bag and placed the file into the pack, making a show of the action as she returned the bag to her back. "Well as much as I love the offer, I actually have plans, you know things to steal, family heirlooms to return to their proper order and all that, though I did like this talk." With that she turned and while running unhooked her family's grappling hook from her belt.

Seeing that Carmelita was once again up to her games Sly took aim and fired a warning shot that purposefully missed and whizzed past the foxes head. As much as he wanted to catch her, the inspector had to admit that he had always enjoyed their little games of Cops and Robbers.

As Carmelita ran she wound up the Hook and upon seeing a hook that she could catch the end of the weapon on she took her shot and mid run leaped from the ground, her agile and strong arms, pulling her up the length of the rope and over the edge of the building where she quickly broke into a run once again.

Sly on the other hand found a fire escape that he managed to climb onto the roof from and began his barrage of shots upon the fleeing fox once again. Where Sly stood he could see as Carmelita pressed a finger to the small intercom device she had in her ear and he could tell that the fox was contacting her team. Knowing this Sly decided it best that he call in his own reinforcements.

"Dominic, where are you guys?!" There was static on the other end for a second as the other end received the message, then suddenly the static stopped and the voices of Dominic as well as Riley answered.

"S-sorry, we ran int-" The message was interrupted with static as the other side was disrupted, within a few seconds the voices cleared and Riley was the one to answer. "We ran into a little trouble with Cooper's Brain, so Ciel and I are goona try to loose him, and Dominic is gonna send Winnie in your direction as a little back up." Carmelita nodded and once again cut the signal. As another shot flew passed her head she stopped and jumped from the roof to the alley below, hoping to lose the inspector while Winnie made her way to her position.

Just as Sly was sure he landed a hit he watched as Carmelita jumped from the roof and into an alley just out of his line of sight. Then before he could make it to an angle where he could get a clean shot a large shape barreled through the alley knocking and pushing back everything in their path, behind them was the far smaller shape of Carmelita.

"You know Carmelita, you aren't the only one with back up." Sly called down as the Brawn of his team meant the large female boar head on. The two were evenly matched as they began wrestling eachother for more ground, locking eachother in a hold that the other couldn't break free of. Now with Murry taking care of the boar Sly could turn his attention back to his own opponent.

"You know, if you would just come quietly we wouldn't have to going back and forth like this?" Sly tried reasoning, though in truth it wasn't actually the first time he had tried that, and he should've known by now that Carmelita wouldn't turn herself in or surrender for anything. At this point Sly had another plan up his sleeve, and readied his shock pistol.

Unaware of Cooper's plan Carmelita contacted Riley once again, hoping for good news. "Please tell me your on the way." There was static for a few seconds and then a reply from Ciel who, by the sound of it was having trouble hanging on during his sister's driving. "Yeah, we're almost there just hold up your position for a few more minutes, this turtle is giving us a hard time." Than the line was cut and Carmelita was once again scanning the roof tops for Inspector Cooper.

Unaware of her surroundings, she was caught off guard as the match between Winnie and Murry made its way toward her, right up until Winnie had backed up into the Fox, knocking the thief down.

"Sorry 'bout that Leeta." Winnie tossed back as she pushed the hippo towards the other end of the lot once again. Carmelita stood and brushed herself off, than she shot her attention to the roof tops as Cooper's voice called out, giving away his position. "Murry Move!"

Withing seconds the hippo released his opponent, than with agility one would not expect from one of his size, he jumped back just as another loud shot from Cooper's Shock Pistol rang out, this time though it was flying directly towards Winnie. Without a second though Carmelita raced forward, making it just in time to catch the shot before it reached her friend.

After the initial hit everything kinda turned into a blur, jolts of electicity shot through her body as she heard a familiar cry, than strong arms lifted her form as bright lights approached, her body was jostled as the one carrying her moved and, she thinks jumped and landed, falling back while still holding the fox close, and then there was an familiar sound of a door being slammed shut.

As the jolts of electricity diminished Carmelita became aware of muffled voices, almost as though her ears were stuffed with cotton, shaking her head to clear it her vision began to clear and her hearing less cotton-y. Once her vision was almost a hundred percent Carmelita realized that there were two wide blue eyes staring at her.

"Oh gosh Carmelita, we were beginning to worry." Ciel said as he sat back on the floor of the van, his thick tangled fur covered tail coming up and resting in his lap. From the front passenger seat Dominic turned his large eyes scanning the fox. "D-do you st-still have the file?"

Carmelita stared at her friend for a second in cunfusion, her mind slowly trying to process the question, when it suddenly clicked and she remembered what had actually happened before everything got all muddled and confused. Quickly she took off her bag and fished the object from within its confines. She flashed a smile as she brought the file out, holding it above her head as though it were some kind of trophy.

"Alright so who's the first one we gotta beat?" Riley asked from the driver seat as she continued down the road towards their warehouse of a home. Carmelita opened the file and skimmed over the first few pages, finding that most of them were actually about her, after flipping further back she found the first target.

"Looks like we have to go after Sir Releigh of the Fiendish Five first."
