Chapter two: Meeting the brains aka Bentley

(My name is Moxie... Moxie Cooper I am the daughter of Carmelita Fox and Sly Cooper. allow me to recap what has been up so far I had just been telling you about my life and my parents. I had just recently turned seventeen, I'm at the age where I want to know more about my father and my mom has been keeping it from me. I went into my room where inside my closet I so happened to stumble on something that my dad left me. A cane and a letter lets see where it goes from here,)

When Moxie had found the letter from her dad, she had decided answers were needed to be found. At supper Moxie was ever so quiet, Carmelita set her daughters plate down and sat down herself to a evening meal of steak and potatoes. Moxie looked at her dinner silently thinking, "Why would mom keep my dad's past classified. His talents were supposed to have did alot of good"

Seeing her daughter was distraught Carmelita questioned, "Moxie, are you ok. You seemed losted in thought my dear. Usually you are talking about boys and how school is doing. Is there something wrong?"

Moving the pea with her fork Moxie lied, "Meh nothings wrong mother just have had a lot of things on my mind lately. I seemed to be going through that stage of a girls life where you know changes happen."

Looking at her daughter Carmelita answered, "Sweet heart girls like you go through a change it shows that you are growing up. What brought up this honey?"

(my mom being concerned for me seemed like she was trying to badger me for the answer that was in my head. But since I am sly as she is. I decided to see what her reaction would be concerning Dad.)

Eating a pea Moxie wondered, "Mom why don't you talk about dad. I know its been a while since he left. Mom did dad, say or do something to make you not want to talk about him. "

(I could see a tear in my moms eyes seeing that it was a sore subject talking about dad. Even though they broke up I still think that mom still loves my dad. from what I remember of Dad. He was never mean to mom he loved her so much that he never would have hurt her. Mom never talks about dad it was like she was either mad or she was sad.)

Looking down in her drink Carmelita jested, "Moxie your father and I broke up because of his stupid problems that he never seemed to get over. It was like he would go against my say so when it came to... grr sometimes he would just get on my nerves about that... Oh can we just drop it ok. "

After dinner Moxie gathered the dishes and took them to the sink and washed them. Silently looking at the dish water Moxie wondered what did go wrong concerning her parents dropping the subject she finished the dishes, and went to go do her homework. Moxie hated math it was the yuckiest type of work she had unless political sciences that was her favorite topic of her schooling. Moxie's grades in schooling were good, but it was P.E that was the strongest subject. Moxie laughed to herself thinking about how much she had shown off in class earlier. Moxie competed her homework and decided for a good time out on the Paris sky line. Moxie hurried into some dark clothes and was out,

(I looked at the over sky light of Paris it was so beautiful so well lit and so peaceful with the sounds of the city below. With a few moves I leaped around and landed on my feet it seemed that my cane I had, it came in handy with some of the moves I was doing.)

Moxie leaped on the many roof tops where she stumbled upon a strange looking Van it had a logo of a turtle on it meaning something was up Moxie to the shadows not wanting to be seen while following the supensious looking vehicle When it stopped Moxie being careful watched the occupind emerge from the drivers seat. the shadowy one slowly sniffled his nose and pulled up his glasses. the street light revealed the figure to be a turtle.

Seeing this Moxie gasped, "Oh wow that's Bentley. Dads old friend hmm maybe he can give me some answers about dad."

(I was on the large power line when I seen Bentley come out of his van my ambitions made me even more curious so with a my cane I leaped onto the Vans roof and with a loud thump I landed on my tail. Ouch that really hurt like hell sorry for my bad language.)

Hearing the thump Bentley was scared of what he heard that he pushed his glasses and opened the door. Bentley's site wasn't to good that he shinned a flash light on the top of van seeing a apparition of a raccoon Bentley assumed it was Sly,

So Bentley called out, "Sly is that you up there?"

Coming out of the shadows Moxie answered, "No its not Sly Cooper."

Stunned at what was before him Bentley muttered, "You aren't Sly, but you look so much like him and move the same way hows that possible?"

Tilting her head Moxie jested, "That's because I'm his daughter. Dad didn't tell you about me did he?"

fixing his glasses Bentley stuttered, "Well Sly told me something about him and Carmelita having a kid and all. I didn't think to believe it was a girl. I personally thought he had a boy. So you are his daughter I did see the family simlarities in the way you snuck up on my Van. Which I must say is impressive I think since you have inherited his knack for being so sneaky. You might be good for some sort of skills of training for a job if I needed the right one for the job."

(I fixed my hair bow confused but then I got what he was asking me like he was wanting me to be apart of some sort of group. I would play along to see what that old turtle was up to. Since he was my father I couldnt say I didnt trust him. I mean this was Bentley the brains of my dads legendary old group of experts. This to me could be something huge in finding out where my dad is at.)

Fixing her hair Moxie nodded, "Ok old turtle I think I can handle what ever you have to show me. Be my mentor show me what skills I need for the group."

Handing her a package, Bentley spoke, " This has some things you will need to learn all you can learn for the basics can be learned in school. Also brush up on your intellegence. you will need those skills as well. School is important ok."

Looking at the box Moxie finished, "Ok thanks Bentley. Ill buckle down in school."

Handing her a phone Bentley sniffed, "Also take this, Ill be in touch for when we start your training ok."

Taking the phone before leaving Moxie smiled, "Ok mentor, if you see my dad tell him his lil girl says hello."

As Moxie fled the scene a shadowy figure nodded thats my girl be good you will see whats in store soon as he jumped out of his hiding place,

Sly spoke, "So Bentley is she as good as I think she is."

Bentley added, "I believe so. My son is as smart as me so yea if my calulations are precise Moxie, Izzy, and Tipsy can possibly make a good team. But all they need is someone with muscle. That leaves Murray to decide what to do next."

(I hurried home through the shadows as quick as a shot. Mom didn't even know I headed out at all. By the living room window there was mom sitting on her chair looking at her picture of Dad with tears in her eyes. I kinda knew she was missing dad, but I wouldnt say anything to her concerning what I have been up to. so I climbed the side of the building and landed in my room with the box in my hands. I put in the closet as I removed my gear and got into my pjs to head into bed. I climbed into bed and passed out.)
