The first chapter I think was a good start. Here's a special chapter based on the trailer for the new Sly Cooper movie. Instead of making a donut run, Mike and pals stop a break-in and there's an obstacle course involved. The really crazy thing is... it's narrated by Zoey! I was asked who would play Carmelita, and this is it, just like I planned it. She's still a cop, but instead of hounding Mike the way Carmelita does with Sly, they end up running into each other unintentionally. This is the first time she caught a glimpse of Mike and his pals leaving a crime scene. Don't worry, in the next chapter is where they officially meet. As for the way Zoey looks in this, it's her usual look from the show; same shirt and pants, minus the flower, just add Carmelita's jacket and combat boots instead of Zoey's wedge sandals.

The city that night seemed like any other. I, Officer Zoey Fox, was out and about making my rounds, when I heard a commotion nearby. No other officers were dispatched so I took it upon myself to check it out. It was a foiled attempt on the local pawn shop. I looked around, noticing no broken glass, nothing out of place, except the back door seemed ajar.

I go through it and it looked like who possibly forced their way in was already dealt with seeing as how there wasn't anyone there. Just then, I noticed a few shadows going down the alleyway and a vehicle was nearby. As I ascended to higher ground for a better view, I got a good look at them, and it seemed like they were just ordinary people around my age.

"Brick, it's all clear."

"Okay, but what about the rest of them?"

"It's taken care of. Considering we had nothing to do with the break in, but we did end it."

I couldn't believe it! These guys drove off the people that tried to swindle the pawn shop? But I guess look can be decieving. One was on the short side with glasses. The other looked like he came out of the reserves. But from what I heard they weren't alone. There must've been at least one more.

"Mike, it's Cameron. Gimme some good news, buddy. After all, you're the one who cleared the path for us." the shorter one said. I scoped further ahead when I realized there were using wireless communication hoping to contact and catch a view of this Mike.(very similar to the Binocu-com from the Sly Copper games) I got a visual of someone running through the city like it was an obstacle course. He must be very athletic to do that. Could it have been Mike?

"Don't worry, I'm on route to your location."

"Mike, ready for what's up ahead. You'll have to go through the obstacle course to meet up with us." said Brick.

"You got this?" Cameron asked.

"Everybody be cool. I'm on it." Mike suddenly stopped as he got into position like he was running a track. Seemed like the course consisted of high hurdles, rope swing, and a few other things. As I got a close look at Mike, I really started paying attention to him in more ways than one. His spiky hair, those eyes, the gap in his front teeth, even the way he sounded completely focused. And like that, he was off.

How was some guy who looked as thin as me gonna clear a course like that. Maybe he was hiding a strong physique? He clearly made it over the hurdle. I couldn't help but hear what they were saying.

"Think he's gonna make it, Cam? Maybe I made it too tough for him." asked Brick.

"I can hear you, Brick." Mike chuckled as he continued the course. Then, he slid under a large bar and jumped onto the second one realizing it was the balance beam. Gracefully, like a dancer or something, he traversed to the other side.

"You're getting short on time, Mike." Cameron was sounding panicked.

Mike reached the large wall. I was amazed he could scale something even I couldn't when I first entered the force.

"Hey, no clocks, Cameron. It throws me off." The spiky runner landed the dismount and dashed ahead for the final rope swing. I hardly believed what I saw when he just took off so fast. Would he make another safe landing? And he did as he landed on what looked like the finish line.

Mike finally walked up in front of the vehicle which marked the finish. "How'd it go on your end?" he asked.

"Well, after you dealt with the first perp, I was able to make it look like nothing happened." said Cameron.

"Then I made sure the others were in sight of authorities without being seen myself." Brick added.

"Finally, how was I?"

"Not quite there yet, Mike. You were off by a few seconds."

Mike's head kinda slunk down. "Ugh, seriously?" (Just think of the trailer when Sly does the same thing)

"You haven't reach my soldier level yet, even with all your fancy moves, Mike."

"It's not gonna be easy, Brick. But Mike, you'll have to mostly rely on you since I thought I noticed the other sides of you trying to get through." said the shortest of the three.

Other sides of him? What did Cameron mean by that? There was clearly more to Mike than what I saw. I wanted to find out more about him. But I was too nervous to approach with my badge on me at all times, so I just stood above ground and continued listening in.

"I just might have the workout regiment you need." said Brick.

"Come on, Brick. You've seen the strong side of him. I think Mike's plenty strong considering what he can do."

"What about you, Cam?"

"What about me?"

"I'm thinking I can put together a regiment for you, pal."

"Come on, Brick. You know I'm not as strong as you are. Mike, back me up on this. Mike? Not again." Cameron looked around.

Where did he go? Did he just disappear?

"Cameron, Mike says we've got a squad car headed our way." said Brick.

What? Why would they just run when they didn't do anything wrong? "If they see Mike, they might recognize him for what happened with to him years ago." Cameron sounded worried.

Mike came back around like he was gliding. "Go, go, go!" (lol I loved it when Sly said that in the trailer.)

What just happened? Why would someone as innocent as Mike fear a few officers? Just what happened to him years ago? I knew this wasn't going to be the only time I'd run into the three of them. I was determined to learn all I could about Mike, and maybe find out more on that other sides of him thing as well as his past when the police were involved. After all, he seems like such a nice guy.

It's question time! Cunning, suave, debonair, cool are words to describe Sly Cooper. Here's this chapter's Question of the Day.(QTD) What words do you think best describe Mike? You can use more than one word if you want. I hope this was good. I put a lot of thought into this one. The next chapter will be pretty much the start of the game, but without Mike stealing his data file from Zoey. Be sure to leave your answers to the question above and thoughts so far.
