Disclaimer: Same as chapter one. Hey, I finally updated! My writers block is over! Ya! Sorry for the long wait. I've been doing a lot of different things. Playing Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King mostly. I'll try to update more often now though. Please R&R.
The Plans are Exchanged
As Sly finished putting the silencer on his gun, he studied the road that led up to the castle's front gate. A gorge separated the road and the castle. A stone bridge, big enough for a truck to cross, spanned the gorge. Two guard towers arched over each side of the road about halfway up the road. Guards patrolled the road. Two snipers stood in the two guard towers waiting to shoot some unfortunate snoop. The guards patrolling were carrying silenced sub machine guns. Sly stayed on his perch atop the small stone building and waited for a guard to enter it. He figured it must have been a guard quarters. He looked down over the snow covered wall and saw a white camouflage clad guard go inside for a break.
"Mistake son." Sly though to himself as he smiled evilly. He found a staircase that led down inside the building. He sneaked down the stairway until it turned 90 degrees. The shorter stairway allowed his to see into the room that the guard was in. The guard was about to go outside, but Sly ran up behind him and gabbed his neck. Sly hit him a certain way in the back of his neck and knocked him out.
"Ya can thank Carmelita for that one.: Sly said into the unconscious guards ear.
"Ugh." Groaned the unconscious racoon guard in reply.
Sly quickly took the guards clothes, put on one of the surplus ski masks, grabbed his gun, and walked outside. Another guard stopped him.
"What kept you?" The bigger guard asked angrily.
"I...uh...had to go to the bathroom?" Sly replied nervously.
"....Okay." The bigger guard said as he went back to his patrol.
"Close one." Sly thought to himself as he started to walk up to the bridge. Luckily, none of the guards suspected him. Until he got to the door where two big guards stood watch.. One of the guards stopped Sly as he came up to the door.
"Where do ya think your going?" The guard asked. "All personnel outside are to stay outside."
"Really?" Asked Sly as he quickly shot both guards with his silenced gun. They fell over the side of the bridge.
"Entry granted." Sly grinned as he mimicked the dead guards voice. He pushed open the two huge wooden doors as he slipped off his ski mask. Five guards who happened to be passing by the door turned around and saw him. They opened fire as Sly dove behind a rock wall. The other soldiers dove behind waist high walls and an old well in the small courtyard.
"Nice welcoming reception." Sly complained as he popped out from his hiding spot long enough to shoot two guards. The shoot out continued for about 3 minutes. Sly had wasted all his machine gun ammo on a well covered guard and had to pull out his silenced pistol. He waited until the guard popped out and shot his squarely between the eyes. Sly didn't waste the opportunity. He went out in search of the main entrance to the keep. He went into a guard room along the way and used his watch laser to disarm all the search lights and alarm systems. He was the able to sneak past al the guards without any trouble. He finally found the keep's entrance. It was easy to spot. It was a large, fancy wooden door with two pillars an each side. Sly got out of his guard costume and put on his regular garb. His blue shirt, yellow collar, blue hat, and leather jacket. Then he remembered it was a formal party.
"Crap, I forgot my tux. Maybe if I take the hat off they'll let me in."he thought.
Surly enough, the two black suited thugs inside the door let him in after he showed them his fake invitation. He walked around the party guests until he came to the door outside the ball room. He then saw the fiendish five go in. A few very rich party guests went in too.
"Probably Sito's friends." Sly thought. He knew the two guards outside the doorway wouldn't let HIM in, so he decided to try the way into the bal room upstairs. He was able to get upstairs, but it was only a balcony overlooking the room. A grand staircase was at the far end of the room. A piano sat in the corner and a lit fireplace was in the wall. Two huge windows let the guest see outside in the black of nigh as the snow hit the pane. Sly pulled out a mini camera as Sito himself appeared on the staircase. Beside him were Muggshot and The Panda King.
"My friends," Sito began. A hush fell over the crowd. They all turned to look at Sito. "All your generous donations will ensure the success of our dismantling operation outside Tokyo. Now, cocktails are waiting for you all in the dining hall." Sito finished. All the guest departed. After everyone left, Sito turned to Muggshot and said " Mz. Ruby and Raleigh are to meet us in the Conference room, no?" I want no one allowed past the hallway leading there. Got it?"
"Yes sir!" Muggshot replied as he pulled out a small black communicator. He said something into it as they left to go to their secret meeting.
Sly was about to leave for the meeting when he remembered his rendevous with Carmelita in the Library. He headed back the was he came. Luckily, the library wasn't on the was to the meeting, so Sly had no trouble getting there. Once inside, He met Carmelita. She was wearing a blue strapless dress. Her shoulders were clearly visible. The bottom of the dress came just to her knees. The right leg had a kinda slit for her leg. She turned and noticed Sly was staring at her dumbfounded.
"Enjoying the view?" She teased as she made her right leg visible.
"Quite." Sly replied as he continued to eye her up and down. The dresses top stopped at the breasts. It didn't reveal anything, but he though it really made her look beautiful. He shook his head and decided to get down to business.
"Okay Carmelita, Sito's holding a secret meeting in the tower. Mz. Ruby and Raleigh are giving him the coded plans there. Maybe we can steal those plans and get out of here." Sly told her.
"I heard. You steal em. And I'll try to create a distraction. We'll meet at the cable car. It goes to the bottom of the mountain. I hid my V12 in a shed down there." Carmelita commanded as she stated to leave.
"Hey Carmelita, is that dress standard issue?" Sly teased. Carmelita turned around with a playful grin on her face.
"Don't get any idea's Sly, it's armored in all the right places." She said as she pulled a gun out from a strap around her leg underneath her dress. Sly watched her leave. He decided to go and find a way to spy on the secret meeting. He pulled out his gun and started for the tower's stairwell. A large cache of guards stood between him and the tower, but he used his pistol to dispatch them all. Inside the tower, he got on a balcony that overlooked the conference room. All that was in it was a wooden table, the fiendish five, Sito, and five suited guards. Mz. Ruby handed Sito a large black suitcase.
"Here you are Mr. Sito. The RainingFire plans, just as you requested." Mz. Ruby smiled.
Sito opened the case and eyed the contents. Then he turned to her. As he opened his mouth to speak, Two guards pulled Carmelita into the room.
"Lemme go, you bastards!" Carmelita commanded as she kicked one in the nuts.
"We caught her in the hallway sir." The other guard stated.
"Oh God, no!" Sly though to himself.
"I was looking for the bathroom." Carmelita smarted off.
"With as silenced 9 mm?" Muggshot asked.
"Lock down the castle, now!" Sito Commanded. He handed the suitcase to one of the suited guards.
"Take this to the safe room." Sito commanded. All the guards but the two holding Carmelita's arms.
"Take her to the cable car. I don't want her interrogation and execution to disturb the guests.
"Interrogation? Execution? What kind of a party do ya call this." Carmelita Complained as the guards took her to the cable car station. Sito told the fiendish five to follow him. Sly knew he had to act fast. He quickly ran to a window at the end of the balcony. He found himself between a window and a wall. A cable ran down to the top of the cable car station. Two guards were on top of the sation. They were standing right under te cable. Sly pulled out his gun. He slid down the cable over the two guards heads. As he hit the ground, he turned and shot one of the guards. He dove behind a glass opening as the other guard cracked off 3 shots at him. (You know the big, roof shaped glass openings on some buildings?) Sly then popped out and shot the guard. He then broke the glass with his foot and jumped down into the cable cars operation room. Two large circular cable runners were on each side of the room. A staircase ran down between them. Sly ran down the staircase and found Carmelita pinned down in a cable car in a fire fight. Sly dove behind a stack of boxes and helped her clear away the guard. He ran to Carmelita's side.
"Are you okay?" Sly asked as he pecked her lips.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Carmelita replied. C'mon let's go get that file." Carmelita replied.
Sly and Carmelita ran up the stairs and turned up another staircase. Three guard burst through the door at the top of the staircase. Sly shot their guns out of hands and Carmelita killed them in a 3 on 1 fight. She closed the deal in less than 2 minutes. Then 007 and 006 ran across a small snow covered courtyard. They bust through the towers base door and ran up the stairs, both shooting two guards along the way. About halfway up the stairs they found a door with an electronic mechanism outside it. Sly tried to oped the door and couldn't. Carmelita opened the fuse box like mechanism and used her own watch laser to melt a bunch of lasers. The door then opened up itself. Sly jumped aside as Carmelita Pulled a small ball out from the same strap on her leg as she had her gun. She pushed a small red ball on the top of the ball and she threw it in the room.
"Cover your eyes!" Carmelita commanded. Sly did as he was told. A flash of light lit the room and the two ran inside. Two guards were in there rubbing their eyes and stumbling around. Carmelita knock them unconscious. A large safe was in the room. Sly stated to try to pick the lock, but heard shouting coming from another room upstairs.
"I don't have time to pick the lock Carmelita." Sly stated.
"Melt the hinges with that laser in your watch. Hurry. They'll be here soon.
Sly quickly melted the safes hinges and the door fell off. Sly grabbed the suitcase and they both made a mad dash for the cable car. As they got there, a large group of suited and camouflaged guards opened fire on them with pistols and sub machine guns. Sly pushed Carmelita into the car and rolled in after her. As he rolled, several bullets hit the ground where he had been standing.
"Get us outta here!" Sly yelled. Carmelita hit a large red button and the cable care started to descend down the cable. The guards continued to fire on the cable car.
"Sly use that rocket launcher!" Carmelita commanded.
Sly turned around and saw a rocket launcher lying in the corner of the car. IT only had one rocket in it.
"There's only one rocket!" Sly screamed over the noise of the bullets clanging against the car.
"You got good aim! Take em out or we'll both die!" Carmelita replied.
Sly nodded he quickly popped up and fired the rocket out of the cable cars already missing windows. The rocket sped toward the small army firing at them. It hit the cable car station and blew up. A huge orange flash lit up the area and men fell from the walkway, on fire screaming. Others were blow against or through walls. Then the cable car stopped.
"Must've hit the controls." Sly said.
"What now?" Carmelita asked.
"Follow me." Sly commanded. He opened a hatch on top of the car and helped Carmelita up through it. He pulled his grapple out of his watch and wrapped it around the wire. He made sure it was tight and he turned to Carmelita.
"Grab onto me and hold on." Sly commanded her.
"I told you not to get any ideas." Carmelita teased. Still, she grabbed the suitcase and clung as close and tightly as she could to Sly. Sly made sure she was ready and slid down the cable. At the bottom of the cable, about ten feet from the ground, he retracted his grapple and he and Carmelita fell to the ground with a yelp. They rolled around for a second and when they stopped, Sly was on top of Carmelita like they were about to do each other.
"How come you get to be on top Sly?" Carmelita again teased in a sexy kinda tone.
"Uh... a lower center of gravity?" Sly said nervously. He grabbed the suitcase and he help Carmelita up. Then they heard four or five snowmobiles coming their way.
"C'mon, It's not far to my V12." Carmelita told him. Sly and Carmelita took off into the night.
"I hope that shed's pretty damn close." Sly complained.
"Yeah, it's just through this small patch of trees." Carmelita replied.
007 and 006 ran into the trees. The snowmobiles were getting closer. They had to find Carmelita's V12 and fast.
