"I knew this was gonna rule.", Sly then said. "This is unreal. I thought my parents were bad, but this is just sick. Breaking up their grown son's party.", Dash said, shaking his head. "Forget about them.", Andy said. "So, where exactly are we headed.", Sly asked.

"There's this abandoned hotel about 30 miles from here. It's in the middle of nowhere. We can continue our fun without anyone finding us.", Andy said. "Hope you're right.", Sly said, thinking of Carmelita, who always seemed to find him, no matter where he went.

A few hours later, they arrived at their destination, a shabby, run-down former hotel in the middle of the woodlands of upstate New York. "All right, gang. Let's get this party back up and going.", Andy said, opening the door. Everyone entered the main ball room. There was already food and drink spread out for them. "You really did prepare to have your party wrecked.", Sly said to Andy. "I've learned from experience.", Andy said as he started up the music.

"So, you still want to dance?", the vixen from before asked Dash. "Why not?", he said. "So, what's your name, darling?", she asked. "Call me Dash.", he said. "OK, Dash. My name's Kelly.", she said. "So, where you from? I haven't seen you around Forest City before.", Kelly asked him. "Well, I was born in Massachussetts and raised in California, but my current home is Paris.", said Dash. "Wow, Paris.", Kelly said. "So, are you a thief?", she asked. "Yes.", said Dash. "Just started out in the business.", he then said. "Cool.", said Kelly.

Sly sat at a table with Andy, his girlfriend, and Tony. "So, Sly. How did you meet this Dash fellow?", Andy asked. "Basically the same way I met you.", Sly said. "I went to go steal a gem, and he was already there. We escaped security together. We went back to my place and we- Well, let's just say it was a fun night.", Sly said.

"This fox seems like a pretty cool guy.", said Andy. "Yeah. Dash is great. I've got some great friends.", Sly said. "Even Murray's OK.", Sly then said. "Where is the pink slob?", Andy asked. "Back in Paris.", Sly said. "I would've invited him, but this party is already costing me a fortune. The food bill would've tripled if he were here.", Andy said. "I understand.", said Sly. Just then, the female hawk who'd danced with Sly earlier came to their table, accompanied by a male cat.

"I told you Sly Cooper was here.", the hawk said. "Sorry I didn't believe ya.", said the cat. "Sly Cooper. It's an honor to be in the presence of such a legend.", the cat said, shaking Sly's paw. The two then departed.

"Why does everyone here seem to know me?", Sly asked Andy. "Forest City worships crime.", Andy responded. "So, naturally, someone such as yourself is going to be a hero.", Andy then said. "I see.", Sly said.
