Thief In Training Part Two

Carmelita picked herself off the floor and put on her denim blue jeans. She turned around and looked at her mirror. 'Cute!' Her mind squealed at the site of her reflection. After fixing her self up, Carmelita went out into the living room and joined Sly and the others. All three of them were talking among themselves, they hadn't noticed that Carmelita stood behind them. "Ahem!" She cleared her throat.

Hearing the fox's attempt to get their attention Sly turned and faced Carmelita. He was completely stunned by the very site of her. "Wow." Was the only word he could mutter. Her violet, no sleeve top, jeans, and ankle length black boots looked amazing on her. Sly didn't even know she had such clothes. Carmelita looked like she was going to take this training seriously.

She saw that no one was speaking so she decided to start the day off. "Are we ready now?" Carmelita asked, her arms crossed in front of her.

Sly, Bently, and Murry came to their senses. "Yeah, yeah." Sly commented even though he had forgotten what they were supposed to be doing.

Chief Barkley sat at his desk, he was looking over police officers files. He still hadn't filled Carmelita's vacant position and the candidates had no where near the type of credentials that she had. It was down to just three people; Chase, a female squirrel, Daniel, a male calico, and Wes, a male elephant. Daniel was strong, athletic, and best marksman Interpol had to offer. Wes was not very quick on his toes but he was extraordinarily intelligent. Chase was who he had been considering for the spot. 'She's the other two put into one. Chase is what Interpol needs, but... she has the worst attitude and takes orders when she feels like it." The choice was obvious. "Lucas, send in Daniel Elle." He wondered if he was making the right choice. It had to be right for his sake.

The six foot something calico stepped in Chief Barkley's office. "So does this mean I get the case." He said in his smug, feline voice. The badger behind the desk threw a folder at the cat. Daniel caught it. Inside was the pieces of paper that would make his career.

Bently and Murry rode in the van as Sly taught Carmelita the 'rail slide' and 'rail walk.' Carmelita was into her third lesson already, she was having the time off her life. The fox followed Sly while they slide on power lines. Being outside, having the cool wind blow through her untied hair made her feel so free. She was starting to feel that she had made the right choice, quiting Interpol and trying some thing new.

I've been feeling confused

Just thinking about my baby

What would my life be like with out your love?

Surrounded by all the love

That sweet emotions have

Some day I'll see my visions come true

Carmelita slid on the never ending lines, Sly was right behind her. She was going a little slow but that was what was expected from a beginner. Sly kept a good eye on her, she wasn't balanced right. She was afraid of falling.

"Aw!" Carmelita screamed after she lost her balance, Sly dashed toward her. He caught her by her wrist and pulled her back onto the wire. Carmelita wrapped her arms around Sly, she wasn't going to let go. The fox felt like she was going to fall again. She looked up at Sly with her magnificent brown eyes.

Another day a different place

It feels the same without you

And my love for you goes on and on and on!

"Are you sure?" Sly asked, he was about to release Carmelita. She nodded and pulled away from him. Carmelita wouldn't let one accident put her down.

Stronger by everyday

It never sinks, it never wilts

Some day I will go home if I can see you again!

Elle organized his new office, Carmelita's former office. He kicked his feet up on the desk and looked at his first assignment. "The Cooper Gang." He read the files with an cocky attitude. Daniel was shuffling through a few photo's of the members. "Sly Cooper, leader." The profile read under his picture read. "Bently, the brains of operations." He was impressed by all the level of education the turtle had. "Murry, get away driver." Elle liked reading Murry's file. The hippo had many awards and records from racing, the calico had his work cut out for him. He set the folder next to his desk lamp. "Ah!" He stretched his well toned arms and legs. "What?" The cat saw a section of the files sticking out of the folder. "Carmelita Montoya Fox, ex-Interpol inspector? What is a file of her doing in here.

Left ya hanging. Might be my last up-date for a long time:( Check my profile for up-date news. I hoped this chapter was to your liking:)))) Keep an eye out for the next chapter: First Date. It's not entirely exactly what the title suggest. Inspector Elle makes another appearance.
