Chapter 10-Love has many crossroads.

Sly paced back in forth in front of the huge doorway... Sly couldn't help but wonder about Carmelita...Kitty...and (what's her name again?...hmm...Seiko...Silko...Phyco?...aha...Saika)

Narrator (me):A-hem...that's my job...why are you thinking about yourself in third person anyways?...

Sly:-Shrug-

me:-shaking head-...Sly, stick to your day job or is it a night job?...just stick to it whatever it is.

Ok Now that this is out of the way...lets start chapter 10

Chapter 10-Love has many Cross roads..

Sly, always seeming to fall into the craziest situations...found himself hanging inches above a well-armed guard's head...trying to be the fliest and most sneakiest person at the same time didn't always work out to his liking.

"Me and my need to impress" Sly mumbled, Whacking the guard with his cane and strolling over to the fortified door. Sly sat a minute, checking the thickness of the windows and the mass of the door.

"This would be so much easier if Bentley was here." Sly thought, Whacking the guard again as he started to come around.

"Now lets see...cutting a hole in the window might signal an alarm...due to the thickness of the windows and the need to bounce a laser off of it..."Sly sat another good few minutes, giving the guard who l at his feet a good smack every now and then to keep him occupied. Sly brushed his hand through his shaggy hair as he looked for a separate way of entry.

"I could use the vents but I bet those are hot wired with alarms too..."

"I can get you in." Came a voice from behind Sly. Sly just sat there not even bothering to look.

"Why, Constable Petro...nice seeing u here. Sly chuckled as he rose to his feet...knocking out the guard once again. How is Murray and Bentley?...are they with you...how is Carmelita..how is.."

"Slow your roll Sly!" Kitty interrupted, laughing at Sly's outburst of questions."They're all fine..and all in the city if you can find them...knowing them...there probably all on there way here...seeing that you've been keeping the cops here pretty busy.

"AHAA!..so you heard about that...muy sorry Kitty...I"

"Why be sorry Sly I was rather amused at some of the headlines.

"Like what?"Sly intoned, raising a eyebrow to this somewhat odd statement.

"Don't worry about it Sly, that's not important right now." Kitty said rushing to the door and blowing it open with her shock rifle...

"Uhhh...are you sure that was the–"

"Not right now Sly lets get moving"Kitty hurried along, literally pulling Sly behind her as they flew down the hallways of the museum...

"You sure have a knack for being interruptive." Sly said, rather mockingly.

"And you have a knack for being a heartbroken crybaby, now shut up and MOVE!

Sly blinked, for that comment was little unnerving, 'I mean, she's be the same way after the shit he saw right?' Sly thought, "I mean, losing my father, having to fight the thing that killed off most if not all of his family, and then having his only love dishonor and betray him...she'd be just as vulnerable and down...right?"

Sly couldn't use his father as an excuse anymore...he did that at the orphanage when he got in trouble just to get by.

Sly snapped out of Kitty's grasp and stopped..."Maybe I am...maybe that's all I am right now"

Kitty whirled around to face Sly as he dropped to his knees and began to flash through every disappointment, sorrow, and heartbreak that he ever cam across.

"What the hell Are you talking about Sly?" Kitty hollered, running back to pick him up off the floor of the museum. "What ever your rambling, suck it up and-"

"That's just it..." Sly said, hiding his eyes and rising to his feet."I've sucked up every pain every heartbreak and disappointment...now...it's just too much...I can't hold it in anymore..I j-just can't." Sly walked down the corridor towards the prize he'd worked so hard for...leaving Kitty to stare after him and wonder if this was the same Sly she'd come to love and cherish as her friend and maybe what she wanted to be more then just friends.

Saika had worked the cuffs to the point of her escape. Twisting and sawing at them against the vent shaft her "target and bound her 2.""Humph...piece of cake." Saika declared as she started towards the side of the building the Entrance was on.

"Must of been a rough piece of cake Saika honey" Came a voice that only few had the privilege to hear.

"What's it to you Ace dear?" Saika smugly replied, flicking her dark hair his way.

"Just thought you could use me for a while."

"Is it gonna cost me much?" Saika curiously said, raising a eyebrow as she moved her long hair out of her twinkling eyes.

"What do you think a mercenary like myself is gonna say?" Ace replied, taking out his sniper rifle and tripod."I mean...you never had any problems paying me before."

Stared

Saika stared at this figure...He always seemed to show at just the perfect times...But...she never really got to know him...He appeared one day one a job when she was caught by herself and about to be executed after being discovered as a Spy...but the next thing she knew when she looked up...all 10-15 thugs not including the Ring Leader had perfect holes in the dead center of their head...'It was rather beautiful in a way' she thought...remembering how one after one... the bodies hit the floor with a thud...in a rhythm... like a ballet or skating. Saika faded off thinking about "Ace" and his "graceful ways of execution."

Ace popped the covering to the "looking" end of the scope as he stared through the window of the first floor.

Saika snapped back as Ace squeezed off a shot into the museum...picking off a guard that had seemed to fallen asleep on his duties( none-the-less obstructing his few of fire.) Saika was amazed at how quick Ace was with that rifle...not only was it a fine piece of craftsmanship on his part...it was a bolt-action!

Saika stared wide mouthed at Ace as he squeezed two more shots off at guards in lighting fast unison-putting the bullet in that same beautiful spot that every gunman aims for. Saika had certain admiration for this loner. He was rather handsome and though she never saw his eyes she could feel they held a needing...a longing for someone to look into them and uncover the demon that lie dormant inside.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Ace said, not turning to her, but continuing scanning the windows for "obstructions."

"Wha-..how-...umm..." Saika hated when Ace did that, her fur growing edgy and sharp."Nothing Ace just watch my back ok?"

With a wave of the hand from Ace, Saika jumped of the roof and continued down the street towards the museum/housing of the Tax collector owned and occupied.

With Saika gone, Ace lifted his bandanna off one of his eyes as he glared through the scope at the building. Ace tightened his grip on his rifle his eye a bright Ruby in the cool, dark night air. Ace's site doubled, his eyes becoming a sniper rifle of there own"so-to speak." his site zooming in and out on the complex and everything inside...

Ace reworked his rifle and set his sights on a Sly...hiding behind a wall that opened up into a grand lobby.

"Well, well, well...if it isn't the infamous Sly Cooper.." Ace whispered to himself...wiping the scope of his rifle clean as he adjusted his eyes and his rifle to what could be his most prized kill over the years.

—radio—

"Ace, if I know you, you've found Sly...were is he?" Came Saigas voice over a walkie talkie she had placed on him earlier.."

"How did I know you were going to do that Sat?" Ace chuckled,"Yes I'm looking at Sly right now...don't worry...he's as good as dead...!" Ace said, Pulling on the trigger...

"Don't you worry about a thing...He's as good as dead with his head on a wall."

Just as he said that,squeezing off a shot at Sly

"DAMMIT ACE! Don't you kill him!"

(The shot ricocheting of the wall and embedding itself in Sly's leg..)

Ace snatched the radio up and returned a with a rather irritated voice...

"Just this once...I'll let him live...but if he even looks at you funny...

"I'm dealing with him"

and with that Ace threw the radio over the edge of the building as he went to relocate himself at a better angle."Sly..your one in a million..."Ace recalled,"I never make the same mistake twice."

Ok after about 5+months of no updating on here...here I am...im on Spring Break so look for a few more in the next few days..
