A thief changed my life-07
Nunavut bay, Canada
Sly
I looked over at the freezing snow leopard, who was giving me the death stare.
"Sly, I'm going to go to the other cabin. Meet me here when you got his other blueprints." She said, running towards the other direction, dodging guards and bears. I went to the nearest cabin, and quickly entered. Same as the last one, there was a prize fish above the fireplace. There were sleeping moose guards and empty bottles of maple syrup everywhere. I smirked, this was too easy. I jumped up into the rafters and stole the blueprints. Once I got outside, I radioed Avery.
"Hey, you doing alright?" I asked.
Ummm, yeah. Besides the fact that jean bison is here! she said,
"Calm down. Sneak around him " I explained.
I'm calm. I got the blueprints and is heading to your locat- eep! she said.
You thought you lost me in Prague? Carmelita's voice said through the earpiece, signaling that she was confronting Avery.
Hehheh. Hey Carmelita. Umm, I would like to stay and chat, but I gotta meet up with a certain raccoon. she said, and hearing a shock pistol go off, I could hear clearly:
"Get back here!" Carmelita yelled. She was chasing Avery. Then Avery jumped up where I was hiding.
"She's fast! How do you avoid her?"
"Lots of practice, princess." I smiled at her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Race you to the safehouse." She offered.
"You are so on." I smirked, taking off running.
Avery
"I really don't do heights." I said to Bentley.
"But who else can break the locks off the cabooses of the trains?"
"Sly can.I'll just keep an eye out for Carmelita or something. I can be Sly's ground eye." I said.
"Well, I don't want to put you out of your comfort zone. "
"Thanks, bents." I smiled and jumped out the window, pulling up my hood. I was minding my own business when I felt the snow under me shift. That never happens, unless... Before I could realize that it was a trap, I was hoisted in the air by a rope. Classic.
"Ahah! I got you, raccoon!" Carmelita yelled. She was dissapointed to see me in that trap.
"Hey!" I complained.
"Avery... Why were you out? I thought sly walked out of the old building... No matter, I'll use you as bait." she said, dragging me to a box. She locked me in and stared at me.
"Don't move. If you touch any of the sides, it makes my shock pistol feel like a bee sting."
"Umm, oww." I said sarcastically.
"You were never a cop, were you?"
"Nope. I rather be called a double agent," I smiled.
"I'm going to look for your 'friends' "
"Good luck." I scoffed.
Sly
(An hour later)
Avery didn't return from 'scouting' the area, and I was worried. Her binocucom was off, and her earpiece was off too.
"I'm going to look for her." I said. Bentley nodded. I walked out, and looked for Carmelita. She was walking up hill to what seemed a cage. She was talking to its inhabitant, and then walked away. I walked to it, seeing a very angry Avery.
"Glad you came to bust me out. If she makes another comment about my hair..." She growled unladylike. I laughed.
"The pleasure is mine," I said, reaching for the locks.
"Don't!" She shrieked. I jerked my hand back.
"Why?" I asked.
"If you touch the bars, it'll shock me. Get the keys from Carmelita." She said. I returned a half an hour later, with three keys. I let her go, and she hugged me.
"Thanks Sly." She smiled.
Bentley
Sly was distracted again by Avery. I was explaining the plan to get the other clockwerk lung. Avery already proved her worth yesterday when she single handedly got the first lung, after my help by providing aerial support. But I had enough when Avery giggled when sly whispered in her ear. It was a weird thing to hear, Avery's giggle.
"Sly!" I exclaimed. He just smiled like he was caught in the cookie jar.
"Sorry Bentley." He said. I sighed.
"Just go to the second iron horse. Avery, follow him"
"Yes sir!" Avery said, saluting. They both left, I becoming nervous. Sly I knew could handle himself, but Avery distracting him could be dangerous. After what seemed several hours, A worn out sly and a hyped up Avery entered the safehouse.
"Yeah!" She fist pumped the air.
"Sly, I assume everything went well? "
"Yeah. Here." He handed me the clockwerk lung. I safely put it in the van, and began to breif the team on the operation.
