You get the picture, this is chapter 5.
Reviewers:
Heiduska: I have too much time on my hands (love that song!). He's in this chapter, and a few others. You'll never guess who.
E.J. Cooper: No complaints, yay. You think you're there now, you haven't seen anything yet.
Nee Knight: At least you read it now. Yeah, sad, but the story might slow down in future chapters.
Ultimatelife: Glad to hear it.
DivineGuardian: Don't worry (or do), and he's in this chapter. The Spanish might help.
Me no own Sly, Sucker Punch do that.
Chapter 5 Cooper Heist
"All right Sly, let's get this over with fast, and please don't flirt with Carmelita again." Bentley's voice came through the binoc-u-com
"Aww, come on, thieving isn't any fun without Carmelita to flirt with, and run from." Sly responded from his rooftop spot on the apartments where a famous guy lived, at least a famous drug lord of Paris.
"One of these days Sly, one of these days, but right now we have to get that Kamahis vase from Big Bert, the largest drug dealer in France." Bentley said with emphasis on the last part.
"You're not scared, are you Bent?"
"Yes, Sly, this is the biggest drug lord in France. Security is going to be tight."
"Tighter than Murray in a new swimsuit?"
"Hey!" Murray's voice was added to the fray "It's not that tight." he stated.
"Sly, this looks like an apartment building, but everyone living there works for Big Bert, and the entire building is his drug house. It's just very well disguised."
"Kinda like the van?" Sly joked.
"All right, let's just get this over with" Bentley whined.
"Fine, I'll be in and out in a minute or less." Sly turned off his binoc-u-com and went in the air vent.
Sly crawled through the air vent into a large dining room, with a lot of guards. Sly took a moment to count them.
"1…2...3...4…5…6...7...8…9…10...11...12...13…14…15, 15 guards" he whispered. He pulled out his binoc-u-com and asked Bentley "Any easy way through this?"
"Unfortunately, no. The best way in is to use that pipe" he said indicating a sewage pipe in the corner "to get to that chandelier" he was indicating the largest chandelier Sly had ever seen hanging above the middle of the room. "which has a laser field around it. Then jump down on the other side of the room."
"I thought you said this wasn't easy?"
"Well, I warned you." said Bentley, who then turned off his binoc-u-com for a moment. "Sly is driving me crazy" he told Murray.
"It's just how Sly is little buddy."
"All right, I'll put up with it" Bentley said acting serious. Murray smiled; he knew Bentley would always be there for Sly.
Meanwhile, back at the heist, Sly had climbed the pipe, and was now dodging lasers while he was crossing the chandelier. When he got to the other side, he did a basic swan dive, into a flip, and landed soundlessly on his feet.
"I thought this was supposed to be hard, Bent." He said into his binoc-u-com.
"Well the next part is. You cannot go directly between the vases, or you'll trip an alarm."
Sly walked into the hall to find what Bentley meant; there was a gigantic collection of vases on stands going through the hall. As directed, he jumped and ducked his way through the hall, until at a pair of large wooden doors.
"Is it through this door?" he asked Bentley.
"No, that's just a room full of guards to trap intruders. The real one is in a small space behind the last vase stand. But you can't move the other vase to get it, and the alarm is still on"
Sly put away his binoc-u-com, and carefully removed the vase (these aren't big stone stands, but skinny wooden ones) from its hiding place. Of course, he had to put his calling card in the spot it was. He put it in his red pack, and went back through the hall, to the window at the end.
He jumped out and climbed a pipe to the rooftop, where he met none other than Carmelita.
"Hello, beautiful." he said with a familiar grin on his face.
"Oh no" Bentley moaned "he's flirting again." he told Murray.
"All right Ringtail, I'm bringing you in." Carmelita said aiming her shock pistol at Sly.
"I'm so glad you're finally letting me into your heart." Sly replied.
"I meant to prison."
"But how am I going to flirt with you there?"
"You won't"
"You wouldn't be so cruel as not to visit me?"
"You can bet your ringed tail I would."
"Ah, Carmelita, you need to take a vacation. You're becoming far too black and white."
"I'm not; I'm just making sure criminals like you don't hurt anyone again."
"Since when have I ever hurt anyone but criminals?"
"You killed my doctor."
"What, I didn't even know you had a doctor."
"Oh shut it Raccoon. Who else would call themselves my only love?"
"Carmelita, you are my only love, but I would never go so far as to kill someone for you. I already have you."
"You aren't my only love, and you don't have me."
"Then why do you still chase me?"
"I want to see you behind bars."
"We both know that's not true."
"Shut it Ringtail, you're going to jail." And she fired her shock pistol at him.
Sly dodged the shot, and started running over the rooftop. He jumped to the next roof and another, and another, with Carmelita close behind, at the end of the last roof; he abruptly turned around and kissed her before jumping onto the van. "Hit it Murray!" he yelled. Murray hit the gas and they were off into the Paris night.
None of them managed to notice the red jacketed figure in the alley who watched the whole thing. It clenched its hands in rage, for it had only seen the kiss.
"Cooper, I will kill you." it swore in a truly possessed voice. Then it turned around, and entered the apartments.
Carmelita stood on the roof. Part of her was flattered, a lot of her was angered, and all of her was disappointed. She had failed to catch Cooper, and that meant her job was as good as gone.
Now, maybe Carmelita would have decided what job to have after she was fired. Maybe she would have decided to swear to kill cooper too. However, before she even got the chance to think about anything, she heard the fire alarm go off in the apartments. She went back to them over the rooftops and into the window Sly had come out of. The guards had already fled down the stairs and outside. Carmelita was puzzled by the fact there was no smoke, or any other sign of a fire.
She went downstairs and by the front door, a case that said "Break in case of fire" had been broken. It had apparently held an axe. Carmelita quickly noticed what this might mean. She ran outside, and stopped at the front of the crowd in horror.
