Days of searching had yielded nothing. Carmelita was beginning to near her wits end, not to mention coping with being pregnant wasn't an easy thing. Not with the morning sickness anyway. But to her surprise the vixens phone began to ring. Taking it from her pocket she picked it up.
"Hello?" Carmelita inquired.
"I'm sorry to bother you like this Inspector Fox but we've got some leads on Sly. Can you meet us at the hideout as soon as possible?" It was Bentley on the line. So they finally had news on Sly's whereabouts? It was enough to get her heart pounding. Was he still alive?
"Of course. I'm on my way now." She said before hanging up. She stood and walked to the door, grabbing her coat and putting it on before exiting the house.
The walk felt like forever but it gave her time to think things through and gather her thoughts. When she arrived she took a gentle breath, placing a hand on her small baby bump, moving that hand to knock on the door a moment later. When the door opened she was greeted with a sight she never thought she would see. Bentley had opened the door after wheeling himself over, Murray being in the kitchen area. But none of this was what shocked her, What shocked her was seeing Penelope sitting at the table.
The fox immediately saw red as she walked inside.
"You! ¡Esto es tu culpa! Si usted no hubiera querido hacer que la máquina del tiempo maldita este nunca hubiera sucedido ! Sly todavía estaría aquí con nosotros! " The fox spat, so angry that she had resorted to her native tongue. The nerve of that woman showing her face here after all the pain she'd caused!
"Carmelita, please. I know you're as angry as the rest of us but she may have a lead on Sly's location so we have no one else to turn to." Bentley tried to calm her down to the best of his ability, clearly not any more pleased with the mouse than she was.
"I can help you find him..During our fight I had a nanochip attach itself to his clothing. So pinpointing his location was a breeze." Penelope said simply.
It seemed like she was telling the truth but the question was why was she helping? What was she getting out of this?
