Chapter 8
Assailant
Carmelita jumped at the loud ringing emanating from the restaurant. She glared at the wolf in front of her.
"What did you…"
"You better go now. He could have Sly already." Arimahs cut her off calmly. Carmelita didn't give it a second thought. Sly was more important than anything else to her right now. She dashed for the restaurant.
The panic inside the restaurant made Matthias' exit that much easier. He swerved and navigated through the hectic crowd with ease. He was fairly happy at the result of his conversation with Sly. He expected the raccoon to react worlds differently than he had. Matthias walked out of a fire exit followed by several other terrified customers. Whoever had pulled the fire alarm had cut him short but also gave him reason for a quick getaway. Anything was better than getting caught by Inspector Fox.
'I'll have to thank whoever pulled the alarm. Probably --------." He thought with a smile. But why was there a feeling of dread deep in the pit of his stomach? Why did it feel like he should stay there close to Sly…
Sly strolled casually toward a fire exit. Where ever the fire was it was nowhere near him so he figured there was really no need for rash actions.
'Where's Carmelita?' He thought. He wasn't really afraid something had happened to her. She was a tough girl. It would take a lot more than a measly fire to take her out. He merely wanted to be in her presence once again. Sly opened the door and walked down its step into the back alley of the restaurant. It was empty of people, most probably already gone or out front. Sly took a step toward the street but stopped in his tracks. He could feel someone, something watching him. He drew his shock pistol and scanned the area around him. Nothing out of the ordinary. He was turned around quickly by an unknown force and his shock pistol was sent tumbling down the alley away from him. Reacting purely on instinct Sly threw a vicious kick at his assailant's chest sending the stranger reeling and propelling Sly away from him in the process. Sly landed nimbly on his feet and searched around himself for a weapon finding a light metal pipe not to different from his staff.
"You will die here Sly Cooper." Sly looked up to see a heavily cloaked person. He or she was only a bit taller than Sly and was concealed from head to toe by a black cloak. A large hood concealed its face. A large black night-stick looking object was in his hand.
"And you are?" Sly asked calmly.
"Your executioner." The person spoke before leaping at the raccoon, bringing a swift overhead blow downward toward Sly's head. He easily blocked sweeping his leg in an attempt to trip the cloaked being. His assailant was quick though and leapt up and backward. They were at a standstill again.
"You're not bad." Sly smirked. The cloaked person said nothing…
Carmelita was having trouble getting through the restaurant the flames were all over and Sly was nowhere to be seen. He hadn't exited from the front or she would have seen him on her way back in.
'If this restaurant wasn't so big.' She thought with a growl as she continued her search.
Sly dodged more and more blows, each one getting closer to its target. This guy was good, maybe even better than him.
'I'll have to try something dangerous.' Sly thought as another attack barely missed his forehead. As the cloaked person swung downward hard once again Sly braced himself and shot upward. The club crashed into Sly's shoulder sending painful shockwaves throughout his body that he would have to ignore for the time being. As hard as he could he threw a head butt toward his assailant sending him tumbling onto his back. Sly knew this was his chance he leapt toward his shock pistol. As he picked it up and turned to aim it the man was already barreling toward him. Without thinking Sly fired a shot. The electricity from the gun traveled at a fairly quick speed. However it never connected with its intended target. The Cloaked man swung his club downward straight at the electricity. The club seemed to absorb the shot into itself. Sly had no time to react, the now electrically charged club connected with his chest sending him sprawling to the floor, unconscious. As the cloaked man stepped toward the raccoon several daggers pierced the ground in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.
Matthias stood on the roof opposite of the restaurant looking down with anger. It didn't matter if Sly quit his thievery he was still Matthias' to protect for the time being and he would not let him be killed.
"I suggest you stay away from him." Matthias said with anger in his voice.
"And if I don't?" The cloaked man asked coolly.
"Then you deal with me." Matthias smirked as he pulled out eight more daggers from his pockets. The cloaked man simply turned and walked away. Matthias hadn't felt like fighting anyway, it was his job to protect Sly, not fight his battles for him. Matthias leapt off the roof and walked toward Sly.
Carmelita was finding it hard to breathe. The flames nearly were surrounding her now and she decided that Sly had to have made it out. She looked around and noticed a fire exit just across the room. She Ran to it and burst through to the fresh air.
Matthias Spun around to see Carmelita Fox staring at him, standing over Sly.
'Oh crap.' Matthias thought dryly. Carmelita hadn't noticed Sly at first. All she saw was the crazed coyote. When she did notice Cooper on the ground waves of anger and sorrow surged through her body.
"What did you do to him?" She growled aiming her shock pistol at Matthias' chest.
"I…"
"You're under arrest criminal." She growled cutting him off. Matthias sighed before easily leaping back onto the roof of the building opposite the restaurant. Carmelita took several shots before the Coyote made his escape. Carmelita rushed to Sly's side grabbing his hand. Sly stirred and looked up at the beautiful vixen that had a very concerned look on her face.
"Hi there beautiful." Sly smiled.
"Are you hurt Sly?" She asked a hint of fear in her voice.
"I'm fine." Sly said before sitting up.
"You had me worried Cooper." Carmelita smirked before playfully punching him on the shoulder that he had been hit on causing him to wince.
"How about we go home Carmelita, I'm pretty tired." Sly suggested.
"You're sure you don't need medical attention?" She asked helping him to his feet.
"I'm sure." He said as they walked toward the front of the restaurant.
