Chapter 4
Sly cooper and Ed, Edd, n Eddy do not belong to me and- yeah yeah whatever… on with the story!
It was a rather chilly night as Carmelita and her "guinea pigs" headed for Sly's hideout for his book. Even though it pained her, Carmelita promised Sly that he could keep his family's book with him.
"Right…there we ware, this is the hideout." Sly whispered so he wouldn't wake everyone up. "Okay, I'll be right back." Sly said.
"Oh no you don't... I'm coming with you." Carmelita said.
Carmelita and Sly walked into the hideout that was covered in brush and leaves. Carmelita was surprised at how "at home" it seemed, even though it was almost practically underground.
"Hey Carmelita, can I have some help?" Sly asked.
"What is it now ringtail?" Carmelita asked.
Sly yanked his chin up to where the Thevius raccounus sat.
"I can't reach it with these cuffs? Can you get it, unless you wanna take the cuffs off?" Sly said as he grinned a clever grin at Carmelita.
"Don't get too excited just yet buster." Carmelita said as she picked up the book and took it into her hands. "Okay, we got what we came for, now let's go." Carmelita said.
Carmelita and Sly walked outside to the car. They got in the car and Carmelita went to start up the car. Carmelita stuck the key in the ignition and turned it, but nothing happened. She turned it again and the car let out a weak rumble and then smoke came from under the hood. "Oh great." Carmelita said as she jumped out of the car. She lifted up the hood and a bunch of smoke came right towards her. It was so bad she had to step back a few steps. Lucky for her, Murray just woke up and managed to open the door and come outside.
"Where are we? What's up with the car?" Murray asked.
"You tell me what's wrong with my car, you're the expert." Carmelita said to Murray. Murray looked at the car and in seconds he found the problem.
"So, what's wrong?" Carmelita asked now growing worried.
"Well, the radiator and the fan are both broken." Murray said. "I'm afraid you'll have to order new parts. And that will cost you at least 300 dollars if not more."
"Just great and my cell phone's dead!" Carmelita yelled in frustration. "Does anyone have a cell phone?" Carmelita asked.
"Nope, I guess we better wake up Bentley and Double d." Sly suggested. Murray went back inside the car and woke up double d and Bentley. The three then walked outside. "Well what happened here?" Double d asked.
"The car broke down, and no one has a cell phone, and we're stuck in the middle of nowhere." Sly said.
"Oh dear, this IS bad." Double d said.
"Well can't you just use your radio in the car to contact help from the other officers?" Bentley asked.
"No way! If the chief finds out that I went to Sly's hideout and let him roam around in it for no good enough reason he'll fire me! And that is a risk I'm NOT going to take." Carmelita said.
"Well then there's nothing we can do about it." Bentley said. "Sorry."
"Well couldn't you somehow hook up the cell phone to the radio and call a mechanic?" Murray asked.
"No, because we don't know where we are and my cell phone is dead." Carmelita said.
"Oh dear, then it looks like we're stranded." Double d said.
"No…you don't think so?" Carmelita replied sarcastically.
"Take an easy, he's only a boy, he's worried sick Carmelita." Sly said.
"If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here now!" Carmelita yelled. "And don't address me like that ringtail!"
"Well the car still would've broken down at some point." Bentley said.
"Yeah, but we would have a better chance of getting help at least!" Carmelita yelled back.
"Keep it down will ya? We're trying to sleep!" Eddy yelled through the car window.
"What's for breakfast Eddy?" Ed said.
"Shut up ed."
