Author Note: So in the last chapter, Chapter 8, after a great night of a party the showcase had began but Sly called aside that the mechanism, Rodri has possession of, that they're after had to capability to control others which in ways was how Rodri was making all the money possible without anyone really noticing. But Bentley is growing sick and tired of Sly having his mind on Carmelita that its getting in the way of the heist. Sly now comes down with a choice: be a master thief or head back to Paris with Carmelita and call it quits.
Chapter 9: Fateful Choice
Sly Pov:
'With the little and stressful things that have happened over the past couple months, I really did feel like I was at breaking point. My family line has always been so important to me, I enjoyed being a thief. But the other thing important of the family line is continuing the family linage... I really dont want to quit being a thief just yet... Things would be easier if Carmelita just stayed back home in Paris then I wouldn't worry too much... Right? Why is it now its hard being a Cooper'
Sly sighed as he walked around town that night, looking around several houses where living in families being together, some were quiet as families slept the night. Sly groaned as it was all the word family going through his head.
"Maybe I should talk to Carm about this... Just for tonight. Settle it now." Sly nodded, smiling and went around trying to figure out where Carmelita was staying, surprisingly it didnt take too long to find the place.
Sly sat there across the road on a house nearly staring through the window watching her. Sly's ears backed seeing that she seemed upset. Take a deep breath he went over and knocked to her window. He noticed her jump lightly as she quickly rushed to the window and opened it.
"Sly, what on earth are you doing here?" Carmelita asked still seeming a little upset.
"Wondering whats wrong with you. "Sly started and an slipped through her window, his lightly touches her face. "You're upset about something."
Carm turned away not giving a reply.
"Carm?" Sly wondered worried. "Is everything ok?"
"I'm fine, Sly." Carm replied, suddenly shoved him away, and walked away.
Sly was a bit surprised on her actions and followed after her. "Can we talk?"
"Is it about going back to Paris?" Carm asked.
Sly froze and the back of his head and walked closer wrapping arms around her into a hug. "Y-yeah... Bentley is getting furious about everything. Especially that I'm worried about you."
"And leave your tail here to cause trouble?" Carm said and turned toward him, sighing. "I may have been feeling a little out of it lately cause the pregnancy, but you shouldnt have your worries about me... But dont worry, I'm thinking about going back home."
Sly jumped a bit. "What? Seriously? This was a much easier conversation then I thought."
"Sly..." Carm glared and caused his ears to back and smile innocent. "Just keep your promises we talked about before, ok? And no getting into things like all the other times."
"No getting captured any other cop then you, controlled or captured by enemies, getting myself killed, and especially NO being lost in time." Sly joked and smiled. "I understand I get into some serious trouble but I always come back."
Carm smiled and wrapped arms around his neck. "That's true. And one thing I'm happy for."
Sly rested his head against Carm smiling bigger. "You have a safe trip back home, ok?"
"You have a safe trip everywhere." Carm joked.
'That very next day, I took to myself to follow Carm as she left that morning, without Bentley or Murray knowing my whereabouts. I decided as well to stay back though how badly I did wish I could say bye, figure it was better to keep my distance I didnt want to think sending her home was a wrong mistake. Though I would miss that she wont be chasing my tail. To another surprise, I noticed Raily and Alani leaving with Carm on the flight. I guess things turned back like the old times in its ways. Where it was just the three of us of the Cooper Gang. As the plane left, I had one thing on my mind, to stop Rodri's plans and get hold of what values he has.~'
Sly smirked and went on his way back to the hideout. "Bentley, Murray, we got some thieving to do."
Murray smiled excited, Bentley looked a little unsure but smiled as well.
"Glad to have you back, Sly." Bentley said.
"Thieving's a passion. Cant let it slip away that easy." Sly said.
