Author Note: So in the last chapter we get to know a few guys that Carmelita has to work with, Joel and Marik. Also a new worker Akiro that's working for Interpol for answers on his parents death. Back in Australia, Murray is still prepping up for the championship kickboxing to take on Vigro.

Chapter 21: Bets and Records

After about a week of being back to work, Carmelita impressed with Raily and Alani able to finally manage Alastar's crying while she was gone. Figured it was to the point they could be brought in to see everyone she works with.

"Think you can take them for walk today, Alani?" Carm asked. "Maybe bring them by."

"Sure, it shouldnt be a problem." Alani answered. "I guess everyone there bugging you to bring them?"

"Yes... Especially Joel... He just doesnt know what to keep his trap shut." Carm groaned.

Alani thought to herself. "This Joel, you've talked about him before with him. He's one of those flirt wasnt he?"

"Or at least tried to..." Carm rolled her eyes. "He was a sweet guy, may have dated him once before. But his pick up lines are just not what you want to hear. At least Sly isnt that bad..."

Alani chuckled and Carm left.

Carmelita stretched. "Boy, I really feel like everything went back to the way it was... I wonder if I should... No... Going suddenly after Sly, maybe after he gets back from Australia. Just wished he called again at least."

Upon getting to work she looked seeing a lot of her coworkers gathered around a small tv watching it cheering.

"What on earth are you guys doing?" Carm asked and walked over.

"Usual having fun betting through sports. This week kickboxing is the big prize." Joel said.

Carm raised eyebrow. "Kickboxing?"

"Yeah, for the championship Vigro von Manningham fighting nearly anyone for the title this week but right now they having just regular matches live." Marik added.

"Vigro? He's a wanted criminal for Interpol, why placing bets on him?" Carm asked. "Unless you're waiting to see who he goes against and betting there."

"No fool has the right mind to take on Vigro that straightforward its likely he'll win, but words going around there might be someone up to try to take him out." Joel said and stared at the tv. "Uh, and there he is: That pink hippo."

Carm jumped and looked. "M-Murray?"

Carm soon rushed off to her office.

"Inspector Fox, good-? Akiro said as she went passed and slammed door to her office. "Morning?"

Carm went into her bag and took to her laptop and opened it, immediately calling Bentley. "You better answer it..."

She growled furious once answered she yelled. "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING?!

Bentley jumped from her sudden yelling and Sly walked over. "Well good morning to you too Carmelita."

"Dont you give me that, Ring-tail..." Carm growled. "I want to know what you're doing involving yourself with Vigro. Did I not tell you before he's dangerous?"

"Carm, relax. Murray has this under control. At least he's not going after Vigro until the championship. And yes you did tell me, you also said that for I dont take him on. Not anyone else." Sly said.

"Do you have any ideas that its also on live TV? My whole work is watching it as we speak, your tail better not be anywhere in that place or I will strangle you when you get home..." Carm threatened.

"Ouch, rough love when I get back huh?" Sly remarked.

"Sly..." Carm growled even more mad, and had a knock at her door, she tried closing laptop. "Y-yes?"

Akiro walked in and over. "Sorry to disturb you, Inspector Fox. But wondered if you wanted a coffee this morning. Especially if you're having a rough morning."

"Thanks, Akiro." Carm said taking the coffee and watched him leaving, opening the laptop back up.

"New guy at work? Not cheating on me are you, Carm." Sly snickered jokingly.

She glared at him. "Oh, and you dont?"

Sly froze and tried to figure out something to say. "Dont say that. I'm better then that. I stole your heart and you stole mine so no one can re-steal them."

"I swear I hate your thief puns..." Carm sighed recalling the talk from earlier with Alani about Joel.

"Should we mention anything else..." Bentley said. "Oh, yeah Wolfgang."

"Yeah, we found out about Wolfgang, or by his full name Lupus Weren Wolfgang." Sly said.

Carm shook her head. "I can go through some files to find whats of the past but I still got nothing on the top of my head."

"We found out he's more dangerous then Vigro, if you want to worry about Sly it might be against him." Bentley said.

Sly glared. "Keep this up, Carm might plan to figure to keep me locked up safe..."

Bentley snickered.

"I'll just look through a few things and get back to you tomorrow." Carmelita said and hung up, sitting back. "Wolfgang... Hm?"

Carmelita got up going through some of her files to see if find anything, with no luck she went around the rest of the place to try and find some kind of records as everyone else was so distracted. Eventually she found something, a whole file cabinet full. She grabbed some of the files and took them with her going through them on the way.

"Fenrir... Raul... Lupus?" Carm said to herself and kept looking through. "Its a family line of criminals. How many families are their full of criminal lineage...?"

She sighed and kept going through and stopped at one detail that caught her attention. "Father of a son? Born just a few years ago. That's the newest info in here... But that poor little boy forced into this... I hope neither Alastar and Shuala meet him then someday..."

Before she knew it she suddenly began to hear silence from the cheers of the others watching tv, she walked out there and realized Alani was there with the twins and everyone was just all over them.

Alani waved to her. "Hey Carm, brought them like you wanted. Everyone seems to really like them.

Carm looked around, literally everyone was liking them to more surprise even Inspector Barkley was loving on them.

"Hey Inspector, which ones the cop and which is the robber?" Joel joked and received as mack upside the head from Carm.

Alastar looked over and reached for whining nearly about to cry, Carm sighed and picked him up. "You always want mama to hold you huh?"

"I have bets that he'll grow to be a cop." Marik said.

"Oh please, seems like a mama's boy, doubt it." Joel joked.

"Dont you guys dare start betting on my kids who'll be what..." Carm glared.

"Here's something, who's their dad?" Joel smirked. "It's the Sly guy isnt it?

Carm froze. "You're probably saying that cause of Shuala... If you're thinking she's going to turn out to be nothing but trouble, you're wrong..."

Carm turned away feeling bad, she really thought that wasnt going to happen at all...
