The cliffhanger comes to close, in chapter 6.
For those who still review this crap: thank you.
E.J. Cooper: So many damns. It's good to know. I use the phrase "Write on".
Heiduska: Hey, I update pretty fast. There's a few more "Sly in actions" to come. Or are there?
Owning Sly is Sucker Punch's job, not mine.
Chapter 6 So Long Fernando
On the roof of Carmelita's squad car was Fernando, axe sticking from the center of his chest. On his hands were many cuts, as though he tried to fend off whoever held the axe. Besides where the axe was, he had another gash on chest, to the right side going diagonally. Her squad car window was shattered on the passenger side.
Carmelita pulled out her shock pistol. "Who did this?" she asked, her voice trembling with rage. "WHO DID THIS?" she yelled, causing the drug dealers to back away a few steps.
"Now now, little momma, we didn't see nothing." said a large weasel wearing a tux.
"You are in enough trouble as it is, seeing as how you and the people who live at your apartments are all carrying pounds of drugs." Which was true seeing as how when they ran out, they took as many drugs as they could salvage, some hidden very poorly "So don't call me 'little momma'" she said holding up one finger "and tell me everything you know." She brought up the second finger.
"All right, I'm Big Bert" the weasel said, living up to his name. He was the tallest person there and the widest too. He was bald (well, as bald as animals go) with tan fur. "And we didn't see nothing, just walked out to find him like this. We're only out here because of the fire alarm."
"Thank you; now get in a circle while I wait for reinforcements to arrest you all."
"All right homies, she got us, so sit tight like she's saying." Big Bert ordered his "workers".
"Now wait, I ain't following the instructions of some vixen, I'd rather take her in for some fun" said a golden retriever who was the second tallest one there. He wasn't wearing a shirt, just some jeans.
"Come on, you know you can't do that, Garland. It isn't right" Big Bert told the retriever. "She just lost her brother."
"He was my cousin." Carmelita interjected.
"I don't care who she just lost, I ain't getting arrested"
"And I'm not havin us bein chased for murdering a cop."
"It's just a cop."
"We haven't killed a soul yet, and I don't plan to."
"Why haven't we killed one yet?"
"Cuz, you fool, we kill one, and not only will it be easier for cops to find us, but we have a better reason to be found by cops. We're drug dealers, not murderers, or rapists. We carry guns, but we don't use them. Plus, she appears to be a very angry cop."
"I don't care what you say, I'm taking her.
No, you ain't."
"I'd like to see you stop me." Garland said as he started walking towards Carmelita. Big Bert punched him in the face as he was. Garland staggered then pulled out a 9mm and
shot Big Bert in the chest three times. Big Bert groaned and fell on his side dead. Garland spat on him and advanced towards Carmelita again. Now, in killing Big Bert, he forgot to watch Carmelita, whose was now considerably closer. Carmelita kneed him in the gut and shot him with her shock pistol. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
"If you want to join him, don't get in a circle" Carmelita threatened as she slipped some handcuffs on him. The entire quantity of workers sat in a circle as quickly as possible.

1 half hour earlier
Fernando was standing by the squad car. Carmelita had climbed to the roof half an hour ago. He was getting extremely bored. She could have let him help to capture Cooper. But no, it was her precious job to catch Cooper. Fernando knew better. Carmelita didn't want him to interfere, and screw up, or interrupt Sly flirting with her.
His thoughts were rudely interrupted by the fire alarm going off. He hoped Carmelita was ok. But he knew she would be. His cousin was the most likely to survive anything in his whole family.
Again, his thoughts were rudely interrupted by someone coming out of the apartment doors. It was a figure dressed in a red jacket with a hood covering his face, grey sweatpants, black gloves, and what drew the most attention, an axe.
Fernando slowly backed away from the advancing figure and asked "Who are you?"
"I'm Carmelita's only love, and she's been cheating on me." Its voice was truly scary. The very sound of it made Fernando shiver.
"I've heard of you" Fernando said "You're not her only love, you're loco."
"Oh no, I'm her first and only love. She broke my life, I'm going to get it back, by her loving me, or her life shattering like mine did. And cheating on me has penalties."
He lifted the axe and swung at Fernando, who dodged and grabbed the axe. The man kicked him in the stomach, and raised the axe for another swing. Fernando managed to grab the axe, but it required him to grab both sides of the blade, cutting his hands. He grabbed the wood with one hand and punched his opponent in the face with the other. The man tripped Fernando, forcing him to fall over, and be forced into a position with his back to the ground. Fernando was at disadvantage though, because his opponent put his weight on the axe. Fernando was strong, but not strong enough to hold his opponent's weight and force. The axe blade was nearing his neck. He took one hand and grabbed the blade so it could not pierce his neck, but it gave a pretty nasty wound to Fernando's hand.
Fernando rolled forcing him and his opponent to stand again. His opponent yanked the axe back and pressed it forward, giving Fernando another gash in his hand. The man hit Fernando in the face with the handle of the axe. Fernando was forced to let go of the axe, and fall back onto the passenger side window, which cracked under the force when it got hit. He regained his senses just in time to duck from the coming axe blade, which shattered the window on impact. He punched his opponent in the gut and jumped back, so he was in front of the car. The man swung the axe at his stomach, which Fernando could only dodge by jumping on the hood of the car. Unfortunately for him, that was exactly what his opponent wanted. The man chopped him in the chest. Fernando fell back on the roof of the car, and his opponent climbed on the hood and raised his axe.
"Why?" Fernando asked weakly.
"She cheated on me" whispered the man, which then brought the axe down on Fernando.
"Now, as you managed to catch the largest drug dealer in the country, even if he's dead, and you lost your cousin, I'm going to let you keep your job." Chief Rob said trying to comfort Carmelita in the slightest of ways.
"I don't need sympathy Chief; I need this creep in jail before he hurts anyone else." Carmelita said, in a sad but still angry voice.
"I've already put an inspector on the case."
"Chief, there was a break-in back at Interpol." A young coyote detective informed the chief.
"What did he steal?"
"He didn't steal anything, but he left a note on Carmelita's office door."
"Two questions, what did he write on this note, and how did he know where her office was?"
"He didn't leave a paper note; he carved it into the door. And it said
'Carmelita, you are to kiss me and no one else. I will hunt whoever else you do, and if I fail, you lose a family member. Either you love me or lose your entire family, your choice. You owe me.
Robert Johnson,
Carmelita's only love'
We don't know how he knew, we think he must have used our website, you can do that."
"Since when did I agree to a website?"
"We figured it was mandatory, and it is, seeing as how we've used it to catch over 500 criminals to date."
"How has it done that?"
"People submit tips to where they might be, or if they've seen one."
"All right, you're dismissed. Carmelita, I suggest you go home and get some rest."
"Ok chief" Carmelita agreed and climbed into her convertible (driven there by the Chief, who knew she would need a ride and that she had left her keys on her desk) to go home. On the way was where she silently cried, and eliminated her top suspect; Sly. He was the one who kissed her and caused the death of her cousin. He was going to be brought in with "police brutality" for that. And whoever had killed her cousin was going to pay for it dearly.
It's not Sly so stop complaining. But still review please.
