Sly P.O.V: For my next mission me and Carmelita where sent to infiltrate Ms. Decibels lair, and find out where shes keeping the other 3 thieves ,when we got to the lair Carmelita helped me to enter the palace Decibel was hiding out in ,by pulling down a lever that was out of reach, after she super jumps to it and lets me into the palace, before she follows in pursuit ,and with the skills she had ,she made it through too and even before the gate shut behind her.
However once we got inside ,that's when we get another call from Bentley, who tells us that Ms. Decibel constantly relocates the 3 thieves, making it hard for us to track them down, so we needed to find a way to track them and make sure they don't get relocated ,but before I can learn from Bentley how, that's when he gives us a news flash saying "Hold on you two! I'm picking something up... Oh no! Sly, Carmelita, Le Paradox is here, meeting with Ms Decibel right now!"
When we heard this Carmelita and I had to act fast and hide ourselves in a couple of convenient empty oil pots ,as we then took a peek at the two approaching figures coming our way ,one of them being Ms. Decibel ,and the other one we then turned out to be none other then Cyrille Le Paradox in person, and from what we saw he turned out to be a skunk ,with green eyes , white combed back hair and french mustache, who wore a red scarf, a green suit with the signature yellow stripes on the front and sides,matching gloves, along with a belt full of spray cans and a shoulder bag ,who was talking with the large elephant.
And when the two finally leave, that's when we popped out of the pots, as I then ask Carmelita "honey are you Ok?" seeing her coughing up dust the pots produced, as she then replies "I'm fine ,come on lets follow them ,maybe we can get the information we need from both of them, we may be able to listen in to their conversations if we keep hidden on the rooftops, and listen in on where they're keeping the remaining thieves" seeing this opportunity from her perspective ,that's when I responded to this saying "you know that could actually work ,good thinking Carm" kissing her on the cheek afterwards, before she said "oh well you know how I think, come on lets get going before we lose them" then chasing after the two.
Then after about two hours we followed them out of the palace, as we got on one of the towers where we remained out of their sight, as we then begin to over hear the conversation after Le Paradox finishes looking around, to see if no one else was listening in on them, then asking Ms Decibel "So tell me my dear, the operation is going according to plan no? " Ms Decibel replies cheerfully saying in a british accent "of course. Everything is progressing splendidly.I have those raggedy little rodents completely under my control. I've never seen better forgeries. The documents they're producing are of the highest quality."
"Perfect!" Le Paradox replies with a sinister grin on his face then adding in "once I get them back to the present day and my royal lineage is "discovered," my wealth and power will be unstoppable!" Only for Ms Decibel however to then point out in concern "well, there is this one teensy little problem of coarse- we still need to feed our little worker bees, but our supplies are running low. The one who seems to call himself "The Panther" seems to work best when I feed him scorpion claws .Disgusting!" As she then shows revolt over one of the thieves eating habits.
Le Paradox then confirms this saying "very well. I shall have them delivered immediately. Whatever it takes to keep these vermin working. Oh and one more thing -tell your guards if they don't capture the Cooper gang, I will have them all fired on the spot." to which she replies "I will most certainly keep that in mind Cyrille" as they continue to walk with us in pursuit ,Carmelita then asks me in whisper if I heard what they said only to reply "every word ,especially "The Panthers" favorite food wow some thief" then Carmelita replies to this ,saying " no I mean about what Ms Decibel is doing with the 3 thieves ,it seems Le Paradox is using the thieves to make fake documents and make himself untouchable, come on lets keep following them and see what else they spill."
As we continue to follow them into town ,we then see then continue their conversation where Ms Decibel's statue is located ,as we hear Le Paradox ask her "tell me Cherie what do you think of this little sand pit?" To which Decibel replies " well darling, this dry environment plays absolute havoc with my sinuses. My music practice has been atrocious lately! Would you like to hear-?" Paradox then interrupts her and says "no thank you! But I want you to hear me - don't fail me like those other idiots did, Cherie. I'd hate to see you stranded here permanently."
Ms Decibel who wants to keep hewr job rather than lose it ,replies back to him saying "oh, I...um... I'll make sure that doesn't happen!" Releiving her boss ,as he then warmly replies "good. Because the others where all complete failures at capturing the Cooper gang. Jefe failed me, Toothpick failed me, Grizz, Proctor, even Ridder and he was the smart one! And now I have to turn my back on them all. You understand yes?" Ms Decibel then answers saying "yes.. Of course everything will go precisely as planned. Although, I must trouble you for some...camel cheese? Absolutely horrid stuff, but the thief named "The Tiger" seems to rely on it and our reserves are almost depleted of it!"
Now in grief Le Paradox simply replies "fine I will send a delivery boy! ugh I don't see why we could not just starve these rodents into submission?" Only for Ms. Decibel to then reply "as I told you Cyrille, we're gaining their confidence, showing them that we can be trustworthy sometimes" and as they continue their talk ,I then hear from Bentley on the other line who says "it seems that these guys would do anything for very common unbearable foods, even write fake documents, I mean working for the enemy just for some camel cheese?" Only to end our talk saying "I know, now all we need to do is find out where they're keeping them ,come on Carm lets keep on em!" Before we kept on following them.
3 more hours later we followed them all over the city, until we arrived at a gate where we see the two stand under ,as Le Paradox asks Ms. Decibel "do you any more requests for me to attend to, since I'm here Cherie?" and for this she answers to him "no I believe that's all. As soon as the documents are complete I will deliver them personally" pleasing Le Paradox ,as he then replies in joy "magnifique! Then I shall have them very soon!" then that's when Ms. Decibel remembered something ,and said "oh wait there is one teeny little thing- the one called "The Lion" seems to favor cobra tails, and you know how troublesome those are to obtain."
Now getting annoyed with the requests Le Paradox snaps at her and says "FINE! You shall have them! But I had better get those papers quickly..." to which Ms. Decibel then answers " I shall double the productions then" before they go into a tent that's located across from a fruit stand,however for us when the two walked out of the gate in front of us it closes, and whats worse is there was no switch above ,nor in front of us either "either these thieves have strong stomachs, or I'm just hearing things ,because I thought I heard her say that one of the thieves eat cobra tails" Carmelita says a bit grossed out by this, to which I answer "no you heard right and all that just for some forged documents ?"
"They're not just ant forged documents" Carmelita says, turning to me saying "if Le Paradox returns to the present with documents like that ,who knows what horrible fates will wait for us back at Paris, we have got to get those thieves back before they finish those documents, but how do we get to their location when we don't know where they are?" That's when I soon got an idea ,saying to her "hey that's it, Le Paradox is expecting food orders right? Well I say one of us dress up like the delivery boy Le Paradox is sending for ,and get the directions ourselves it should be as simple as that!"
Carmelita soon thought about it for a second ,before she replied "you know Sly that's not a bad idea ,the only problem with it though is that he's bound to know who we are, if we go up to him dressed like this" referring to our clothing ,but to her surprise however I reply to her "way ahead of you Carmelita" as I then pull out from my backpack,a red Arabic Kaffiyen, a white puffy shirt under an indigo vest, with matching pants and red shoes with swirls on the tips, to which Carmelita asks me "wow Sly I'm impressed but where did you get it?"
Only to answer her saying "oh this is Salim's, he gave it to me before we left the hideout ,he said it was very useful for "deceiving the weak minded" ,and claimed that it was made by a genie" as I quickly put on the suit, Carmelita then doubts what was said, as she replies "yeah right ,Sly I think that your ancestor may have been pulling your leg ,anyone could have made this" to which I reply simply" I didn't say I believed him" as I then lean onto the closed gate ,while Carmelita then turns her back on me saying "now the real question is how we're going to get through this gate?"
Little did I know however, that when my back hit the gate, something happened, it felt like as if the gate had vanished then the next thing I knew, I have now fallen flat on my back ,and right on the other side of the gate ,much to my surprise as Carmelita then turns back to me to realize this, and boy was she surprised "Sly ,h-h-how did you get on the other side of the gate?" She asks, there is when we realized Salim wasn't going crazy after all, and that the suit was indeed magic ,as I then reply "wow what do you know this suit allows me to walk past solid objects awesome."
"Impressive well anyways ,since your over there try to find out where Paradox is keeping the 3 thieves ,good luck honey" Carmelita says before I make my way to the tent, saying "I wont be too long honey, see you back at the safe house" Carmelita agrees to what I said ,as she makes her way back to the hideout afterwards, as I then begin to approach the tent staying completely inside.
Then right when I enter, I then notice the two where busy snuggling each other before they noticed me and jumped back in shock ,as Le Paradox then asks me "and who is this- little pipsqueak Cherie?" I answer for her saying "greetings ,you called for a delivery boy yes?" in a very bad Arabic accent ,Ms Decibel once she looks at me however, then points out in suspicion "I don't recognize your scruffy features" I reply " the other one is in the hospital you see ,he was hurt very badly in a very bad accident " Le Paradox though who wasn't paying attention, then asks me "whats the matter with your voice?"
"Nothing at all I have speaking like this my whole life ,its because I have a very bad case of laryngitis, that is all" I say to which I hear Decibel pity me, saying "how droll" Paradox then asks me afterwards" ok if you really are the delivery boy, then prove it!" There is when I remember what orders they needed ,and answer them in order saying "very simple my friend ,you say you request scorpion claws for someone named "The Panther", camel cheese for another named "The Tiger", and for this "The Lion" the cobra tails yes?"
Finally believing I'm a delivery boy, Ms. Decibel then hands me a list of locations where to send the deliveries ,before she tells me to get out, as I then answer afterwards "I shall be sure to have them delivered immediately" walking out afterwards with the list, as Bentley then calls me on the binocucom saying "I cant believe that worked ,your Arabic accent is much more worse than your Italian one, I swear one of these days you have got to take accent impersonating lessons ,well anyways good work with getting the locations ,come on to the hideout and come up with a plan to break Salim's men free" as I then do so the same way I came in.
