Job 6: Hunt for the Son
Sly exits the safehouse, goes into the open and pulls out his binocucom, Bentley's face is on the left, Sly's is on the right.
"The Chief told us his son is a the forest near the other mountain."
"I just hope I can successfully convince him to return we'll need his assistance"
"You do have the necklace the Chief gave you to help remind him of his pride and duty?"
"Oh yes, anything to get Mr. Grumpy back on our side is good with me" Sly puts away his binocucom and heads towards the forest near the other mountain which is behind Ms. Decibel's cabin. Just as he gets in a few steps in an arrow lands near his feet, which causes him to jump.
"Who goes there?!" Shouts a voice from afar, though Sly stays in his place.
"I'm a friend here to help you out, show yourself, I mean you no harm" Sly calmly says. Out of the woods comes a tribal wolf, he looks just like his father except he only has three feathers in his head he has a bow and arrow, and holds a hatchet in his right hand, he has a scowl on his face.
"My name is Sly, Sly Cooper"
"And I'm Okwaho, the son of the Chief, and if I were you I'd advise you to leave this place" the wolf grumbled.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, your father wants to see you we're here to free your people from the barbarians." Okwaho just scoffs at Sly's proposal.
"My father turned his back on his own people so a bunch of barbarians can turn our home into some ritzy area for tourists to flock here and line their pockets with gold. Why should I really help the one who betrayed his own people?"
"Is that any way to treat your own father?" Sly started to get angry and annoyed at Okwaho's words. "You should be thankful you even have a father, I barely had one in my life"
"You're different Sly, you're a thief, I'm a proud warrior who would rather fight if anyone could even help us, not mention promise us to leave us alone afterwards, I'd rather keep our old ways than succumb to the temptations of the modern world."
"If you wanted help, then perhaps this should help change your mind" Sly pulled out the necklace, Okwaho's scowl changes to awe at the sight of this jewelry, coming over to clutch it in his hands, tears start to swell up in his eyes.
"This was my mother's…..she once told me to accept help from the outside should things get hairy" he said solemly, then changed his tone to calm and proud, "very well, I must accept your help, lead me back to your hideout".
"Now that's the spirit I like to hear!" Sly exclaimed proudly. Just then a crack of lightning is heard followed by a rumbling sound, which gets progressively louder and louder, the two turn their heads in the direction of the sound, an avalanche is heading towards them, They run away up to the trees for safety, Sly reaches the top, but after a few seconds, he looks around, finding no trace of Okwaho. Sly lowers his head in solemnity.
