Talonz: BARK!
Ringtail: Pretend my cousin isn't here. Okay here is chapter 2. Please review!
Chapter 2
"Claire, huh?" Sly asked
Bentley nodded. "Alright Sly, here is the plan: It's statistically probable that she would steal something rare and valuable right? She has stolen a lot but my guess is that she'll go after the Gold Falcon. It's very rare and it's a statue of a falcon made out of gold with diamonds and sapphires on it."
"I wouldn't mind going after that myself." Sly said. "By the way you describe it, any thief would go after it."
"We have arrived!" Murray yelled form the front of the van. It was snowing a lot and it was freezing. They stooped by an abandoned cabin. "This would be a good place to set everything up." Bentley said.
"We'll set everything up here. Sly, you should start heading to the Museum of Ancient Treasures because its getting late and you should get there before Claire does. I'll explain everything when you get there.
"Okay."
"I installed holographic markers just in case you get lost. You can only see them through your binocucom. One more thing, don't get caught because they got guards crawling around."
"You worry too much." Sly said. "My name isn't a misnomer."
"Don't say I didn't warn you!" Bentley yelled, but Sly was already gone. He silently ran on the rooftops performing ninja spire jumps and the rail walk. He stopped at a wall. He stopped at a wall. He climbed up a tree and from a branch jumped over the wall.
"This is too easy."
He tool out his binocucom and a screen in the corner of it turned on. It was Bentley. "Okay Sly, you see that window? That is the only was to get inside the room with the falcon."
"Maybe there's an air vent I could go through."
"There is one. But you're likely to get lost, you have to make a lot of turns."
"Just tell me where it is."
Bentley sighed. "Fine. It's above the entrance door." Sly took off. The place was so big that it took Sly a while before he could find the entrance. Sly made a turn somewhere and saw two guards walking toward him. They didn't seem to notice him. He quickly climbed up a pipe and on to the rooftop. He heard the guard's conversation.
"I don't know why the boss wants us walking around out here." The duck said. "It's freezing!" he said shivering. "We should complain."
"Yeah, but I hear there's some lady coming to buy one of them treasures. What do you think of that, eh?" the moose said. "Money will put him in a good mood and then we'll talk to him. What do you think?"
"Wonderful" the duck said sarcastically.
Sly continued with the plan. He spotted the air vent and smashed it open. He went inside and made a few turns for a few minutes. "Oh great! I'm Lost" he thought. He past by a few rooms and saw nobody was in them. He heard voices in one of them. He thought it was Claire and went to go see. Instead he saw a cat talking to a dog. "So which item did you want to buy, again?" the dog asked.
"The golden eye that came from the pyramids of Egypt." the cat answered nervously.
"Odd sort of thing to buy." the dog said, suspiciously. "You know, this used to be a very powerful treasure."
"I know. I'm j-just buying this for my………boss." the cat said, sweating.
"Ah well, it's not any of my business." The dog placed his paws in his pockets and said. "Well, your item will be delivered to your house by Monday, Miss Blaire."
"T-thank you." The cat started to leave. On the way out Sly heard her mumbling "I almost blew my cover! I am so bad at this!" He ignored what he heard and continued. He made a few more turns and finally made it to the room with the falcon. Sly arrived just in time. There she was. Claire was skillfully avoiding the lasers, making her way across the room. She kept her hair up in a bun in the back of her head and was wearing nothing but blue. Sly took out his binocucom. "Sly, whatever you do, don't go down there." Bentley said on the screen.
"Why not!?!"
"Follow her to her hideout instead."
"Fine." Sly saw that Claire started to leave. Sly followed her. He went as silent as he could. Sly noticed that Claire always looked around her as if she grew suspicious of her surroundings. After she looked around she climbed up a tree and jumped over the wall. Sly then did the same. After a while of following Claire, Sly followed her to a hidden cabin covered in leaves and branches. She went inside. Sly then saw the van drive nearby.
"How did you know where I was?" he asked.
"We put a tracking device in your belt." Bentley said. "Come on! Let's go meet her already!" They walked toward the cabin. Sly put his paw forward to knock on the door but Bentley interrupted. "You're going to knock?"
"What do you want me to do? Go in through the window and scare the life out of her?"
"Uh………..yeah!" But Murray was already knocking. The door opened but not all the way. They could tell that Claire was much shorter that Sly. "Who are you three?" she asked.
"Er………..I'm Sly Cooper, your brother." Claire's eyes grew wide. "S-sly? Is that really you?"
"How do you know about me?" Sly asked. Claire showed him the locket that was around her neck. The locket said 'Claire Cooper'. Inside the locket on one side said 'Sly and Claire' and on the other side showed a picture of eight year old Sly holding his little sister's paw.
"You're my brother!" she yelled happily. She hugged Sly tightly. Sly was so happy. He wasn't the only Cooper alive. He had a sister. They had a lot of catching up to do.
