CHAPTER SEVEN- Homecoming
PARIS, FRANCE - 8:01 A.M.
Sly Cooper and his two new sidekicks returned home triumphantly. When he entered his hideout, he found Andy Clark and his girlfriend nestled together on the couch.
"I thought you two were leaving.", Sly said. "I decided to stay a bit longer.", said Andy. "That's great.", said Sly.
"So, how did you guys do?", Andy asked. "Great.", Sly said, emptying his knapsack on the coffee table. Jewels, gold and silver spilled everywhere.
"Wow.", said Sandra. "Go ahead. Help yourself to some.", Sly said to Andy's girlfriend. "I shouldn't.", she said. "It's no problem. There's plenty more where that came from.", he said. Veronica then emptied her bag, practically flooding the living room with stolen valuables.
"This is my biggest take in months.", said Sly. "Well, I'm glad everything's gone well for you.", said Andy.
Just then, there was a knock at Sly's door. It was Murray, Sly's former getaway driver. "What do you want?", Sly asked angrily. "I just want to say I'm sorry about this whole mess. Please let me rejoin you.", said Murray. "Why should I? I befriended you when no one else would, and you turned around and stabbed me in the back!", snapped Sly. "But it was all Bentley's idea.", Murray responded. "I don't give a crap.", Sly said. "And where is the little rat bastard?", he asked.
"I have no idea. He went off on his own after Blizzard dumped us.", said the hippo. "So. You only come crawling back because you were fired?", asked Sly. "Both the robberies we tried together were stopped by Andy Clark's gang.", said Murray. "PLEEASEE PLEEEEEEASE let me rejoin you. I told you it was all the turtle's idea. I'd never betray you.", said Murray, who was almost in tears.
"Oh. All right.", said Sly. "But you owe me big time.", he then said. "Thank you.", the hippo said, hugging Sly.
"Now get on in here, you big pink fool.", said Sly. "Wow.", said Rusty. "Murray Beckford. You're legendary.", said the fox, as he shook hands with Murray. "I am?", asked the hippo. "You better believe it.", Rusty said. "Hi there.", said Veronica, as she kissed the hippo. "Whoa.", said Murray.
"I see you've met your two new co-workers.", Sly said. "They're much nicer than that jerk Bentley.", said Murray. "I'm so glad to be back. I don't know what I was thinking when I left.", the hippo said.
"I know I was a little rough on you during our little visit to Forest City. I'll try to go easier on ya from now on.", said Sly. "It's OK.", said Murray.
"Well, now that things are somewhat back to normal in Cooper world, I think I'd better be going.", said Andy.
"OK. It's been good visiting with you.", said Sly. "I hope you enjoyed it here in Paris.", he said. "Oh. It was wonderful.", said Andy. "Good bye, old friend.", said Andy. He and Sandra then left.
