Hi, again! Here is chapter 8. Please review. I want to know how I can improve it.

Bentley came back a few minutes later and sat on the couch. Claire and Sly were watching the news about the robberies they did. It was quiet for a while before Bentley broke the silence. "That partner of hers is very scary looking."

"Why?" Sly asked.

"He's always scowling, his eyes are red, he has a nasty cut above his eye, and he looks mean. I can see why Amy doesn't call him a friend. There's something about him I just don't trust."

"In my opinion," Claire said. "I don't think anyone should be trusted when you're a thief, but sometimes you could break that rule. Besides, I don't think that's the problem, Bentley. You might be jealous."

"Me? Never! How could you think that?"

Sly started laughing silently. He looked back at the TV and something caught his attention. "Hey look! Isn't that the warehouse we stole the necklace from?"

Bentley and Claire looked at the TV. "Hey it is! I guess they finally found them." Bentley said. "Took them long enough."

"Who's that? The lady the reporter is talking to."

"That's Carmelita Fox. She's been chasing us for years." Bentley informed Claire. "There was this one time where she was so close to catching us but Sly tricked her."

"How?"

"You don't want to know."

"Yes I do!"

Sly stared at the TV. "Ah, yes. Those great memories."

"Don't start, Sly." Bentley said. Bentley began to use his laptop.

"I'll plan another heist. I think Claire will be able to come now that her arm is better." For nearly an hour Bentley used the computer and Sly and Claire watched TV.

"I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed." Bentley said.

"Yeah me too." Claire said getting up. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. It sounded really close. Too close. Everyone jumped.

"What the hell was that!" Sly said.

"Sounded like a bullet." Bentley said. "It sounded as if it was just outside." He started to go outside and Sly grabbed his cane and followed.

"Claire, you stay here."

"Aw."

They both went outside and started to look around. It was dark but Sly was able to see in the dark. "Nobody's here." He said. "I doubt we were all hearing things."

Then he heard some bushes moving. His grip on his can grew tighter and he slowly approached the bushes.

"Be careful, Sly." Bentley said. Suddenly out of nowhere a sleep dart hit Bentley in the back of the head. He fell unconscious to the ground.

"Bentley!" Sly yelled. He started to run toward him. Murray came running out of the hideout.

"Sly!" he yelled. "Claire told me what happened. Are you ok?" He saw Bentley on the ground. "What happened to him!"

A second sleep dart flew at Murray and he also fell unconscious to the ground. Claire was running out of the house.

Sly yelled, "No! Claire! Don't move!"

A third dart missed her by a few inches. "What's going on?" she asked.

"Show yourself!" Sly yelled into the bushes.

Out of the bushes a Koala came out. He had red eyes and a cut above his eye. He pointed a gun at Sly. "Drop the cane, Cooper."

Sly froze. "Who the hell are you?" Sly heard a muffled scream behind him.

"His name is Jake." Said a voice behind them. Sly turned around and found Amy covering Claire's mouth. She looked scared and there were tears in her eyes. She was about to shoot Claire with her dart gun but Claire bit her hand and ran into the house.

"Ouch!" Amy yelled.

"Blaire, you go find the kid and search the house until you find it and I'll take care of Cooper."

Amy glared at Jake and ran into the house. Sly was confused. "Find what?" he asked.

"A little something you stole from us, raccoon."

"I didn't steal anything." Sly said.

"I never thought those words would come from your mouth, Cooper."

Meanwhile, Amy was ransacking their hideout. She was trembling and stated looking in Sly's room. "Its here somewhere."

"Traitor!" Claire yelled. "How could you! We trusted you!"

"I have my reasons." Amy said holding her dart gun behind her back. "I am so sorry, Claire. You were kind to me, but my boss offers me so much more. When I told her I met you she was happy. She thought it would be a good idea to befriend you. Gain your trust. It was simple, but my boss didn't want to wait. I had to get on with the plan now."

She shot her dart gun at Claire. Claire fell to the ground but did not immediately fall asleep. "No!" she thought "I must stay awake!" Everything was getting blurry until everything went black.

Amy walked next to her. "She'll be very happy to see you again." She walked over to Sly's desk and opened one of his drawers. "Aha here it is!" She put the item in her bag and started to drag Claire outside. She found Jake standing over Sly, who was unconscious on the ground.

"He was starting to piss me off." Jake said. "He insulted me so I decided to knock him out with my dart gun. Take the raccoons to the van."

"And those two?" Amy said pointing at Murray and Bentley.

"Take them too. Did you find it?"

"It's in my bag." Amy said.

"Lets get out of here, then."

Sorry if you trusted Amy. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Tell me what you think.
