END OF AN ERA?
CHAPTER ONE- The Day It All Fell Apart
Sly Cooper, Murray Beckford, and Bentley Smith had been close friends and partners in crime for more than a decade.
Together, they had dethroned the Fiendish Five, restored Sly's family birthright, pulled countless thefts throughout the world, and foiled every misguided do-gooder who had attempted to put an end to their activities.
However, a slow-down in the gang's thieving activities, and the whole F.O.W.L. caper that followed had created a rift between Sly and his two associates.
And just when it seemed that things were on the mend, the unthinkable happened.
PARIS, FRANCE - 5:15 A.M.
Sly Cooper triumphantly returned home from yet another successful theft, only to find his hideout dark and deserted. "Murray? Bentley?" Where could those two possibly have gone? The gang's famed getaway van was parked out front, so they couldn't have gotten too far.
He searched the entire place, and then took a seat on the living room couch, puzzled. He then noticed a piece of paper next to him. It was a note.
Dear Sly,
Murray and I have decided that it would be best for all of us if we went our separate ways.
So Murray and I have moved to Forest City and joined the gang of one Matt Blizzard. He's a much nicer thief than you are and not a perv.
Good luck finding two new associates who are as qualified as us, you egotistical loser.
Thanks for the memories,
Bentley and Murray
Sly could not believe what he had just read. The young raccoon's heart shattered. The trio had almost been like brothers, and now, just like that, it all was over.
A single tear then streamed down the cheek of the normally cool and composed thief. Where had it all gone wrong? What was he going to do?
Sly sobbed as he reflected on all the good times the three had shared. The raccoon then headed to his bedroom, his head hung low.
