Time to start.
"This is sooooooo boring!" Amanda said. "Shhhhh!" went half the people in the library. "Bite me." Amanda whispered.
Jenny was looking at old books and Kari was just looking at old newspapers. Where are the comics? She thought. Then she saw a newspaper that caught her eye. The date was about 500 years ago.
Thief steals red ruby.
New job for Interpol.
Woah. Kari thought reading the old newspaper.
July, 23, 1999At 1:03 a.m. the "Fire stone of India" was stolen by a raccoon thief. Interpol, the company that was given the case, sent Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox on the job. The Inspector was unable to catch the raccoon but after some quick researching Interpol was able to find some history on the thief.
Sly Cooper.
"Happy Camper's Orpahnge" the place where said thief stayed during his child hood. A group of criminals called "The fiendish five" killed his farther on Sly's 8th birthday and he was sent to the orpahnge.
"I believe now that Sly Cooper will try to get revenge off these five criminals." Inspector Fox said during an interview. "He also has two accomplices, a turtle and a hippo, who have not been found."
Two weeks later, Sly Cooper, broke into the Interpol building and stole a police file from the Inspector's office. He left a small blue calling card the shape of a raccoon face. The Inspector still hasn't caught the devious thief.
"Wow." Kari said, "Hey guys…"
"I FOUND IT!" Jenny said. "Shhhhhhhh!" everyone in the library said. "Sorry." Jenny whispered. "You guys come here!" Jenny sat at table and Kari and Amanda sat around her.
"Look at this!" Jenny said. "It talks about thieves from the past! See right here it says, "Master Raccoon thieves can see thieving opurtunites that manufest themselves as unexplainable blue auruas!" That's what Kari is seeing!"
"But I'm not a master thief." Kari said. "Your related to them though!" Amanda said. "Right but…..wait!" Kari said, her ears perking up. "What?" Amanda and Jenny said. "I think I hear. Ginger…" Kari whispered. Amanda glanced behind her.
"What's she doing here?" Amanda whispered. "Look! The mutant raccon and kitty friends again!" Ginger said, noticing the trio.
"Shhhhhhh!" the entire library said. Ginger turned to them "Don't tell me to Sh!" she said. Then she turned back but saw Kari and the others had gone. "What the….GRRR!"
$&$
"I wonder what Ginger was doing at the library." Kari said. "I wonder if those people at the library practice their Shing." Amanda said. Jenny laughed.
"Hey you guys!" Jenny said, when a thought struck her. "We forgot to do the weekends homework!"
"So?" Kari and Amanda said. "So! Tomorrow is Monday! WE got to do our homework!" Jenny said. Kari and Amanda just gave her a blank expression.
"Oh come on!" Jenny said, grabbing their wrists and running. "HEY!" Kari and Amanda said.

They were pacing Kari's house when Kari's mother ran out and went to the car. "What's your mother doing?" Amanda said. Jenny slowed down and stopped. "Don't know." Kari said. "Hey mom! What are you doing?" Kari yelled to her mother.
Her mom looked up at her. She looked excited and was dressed up in her work uniform.
"I just got a call from work! There's a steel truck coming through our neighborhood with something for an India museum and I have to do a report about it!" Kari's mom said.
"Wow! Can we come Mrs. Cooper?" Amanda said. "Sure, come on!" Kari's mom said. Kari, Amanda, and Jenny got into the car and they drove off.
"Don't get in the way ok kids?" Kari's mom said, looking at some papers while trying to drive. "Alright mom." Kari said. "Here can you hold this dear?" Kari's mom said, handing Kari the papers when she almost ran over a traffic sign.
"Sure." Kari said. Mrs. Cooper always got these papers. When she had to report on something she would get info on it from her job. Kari looked at the paper. When she read some it her eyes went wide.
The "Fire stone of India" was just recently found some where around the Interpol grounds. Many stories are circling who it had gotten there.
Along time ago Master thief Sly Cooper stole the ruby. It was then believed gone forever when it appeared 500 years later.
"Alright we're here, thanks for holding this." Kari's mom said, taking the paper. "But…mom." Kari said. "Come on!" Amanda and Jenny said, jumping out of the car.
Kari followed slowly, her eyes wide.
"The "Fire stone of India" was just recently found some where on Interpol's grounds."
Kari turned to see her mom giving the report. She was reading from the paper. "Oh no." Kari said. "What?" Amanda said, next to her.
"-had gotten there. Along time ago master thief Sly…." Kari's mom said, but froze. The camera man and that guy with the speaker phone looked at her puzzled.
"Oh no." Kari repeated. Kari's mom looked at the paper with an expretition mixed with rage and shock. "No." she whispered.
That's when the steel car came around the corner.
BOOM!
There was a loud explosion and the steel van tipped over. Smoke was everywhere. All the pedestrians around who were there started screaming. "What the? Cough cough!" Kari heard her mother say.
"What's cough! Going on? Cough cough!" Jenny said. Kari looked around. To her, every thing seemed to go in slow motion. That's when she spotted it.
A tiger with a whip was on a roof. "Who's he?" Kari said. The tiger jumped down into the mist of the panic and ran up to the steel truck. The back was opened from the explosion and the tiger grabbed something. Something red.
"He's stealing the ruby!" Kari said. "What? Cough cough!" Amanda said. Kari ran towards the tiger who was about to leave. "Who in the world are you?" Kari said, running up to the tiger. The tiger looked at her.
"Sorry kid but I don't have time to play!" the tiger said. "Who you calling a kid?" Kari said. The tiger only looked around the age of 15.
"Got spunk kid! But I'm afraid I got to leave!" the tiger said, running off. Kari followed him. "You better stay away if you know what's good for you!" the tiger said. "Yeah right." Kari said. The tiger climbed up a pole to the power lines and jumped onto them.
Kari followed and jumped onto the power lines too.
"Woah!" she said, almost falling. She straightened herself out and followed. "Got courage I can give you that!" the tiger said. He jumped off and landed on a car that started driving away. Kari ran and jumped barley missing the van and climbing up to the top of it.
"Who are you?" she asked, standing up. "Names Roberto!" the tiger said. "What's yours?"
"Kari Cooper!" Kari said. The tiger froze. "The Cooper? Related to the one that stole this artifact along time ago?" Roberto said. "Well..ummm.." Kari said.
Roberto grinned. "I'll be seeing you, later then." He said.
"What do you mean by?" Kari said, but then the car made a turn at a corner and she fell off.
Roberto climbed into the car through a sunroof.
"Do you got the ruby?" the driver, who was the spider girl, said.
"Yes, and that's not all I got!" Roberto said.
"What else?" the spider asked.
"I know where our prey is!" Roberto said, with an evil smile.

"Owwwww!" Kari groaned. She looked up. "AH!" Kari yelled, rolling over just missing a speeding car. The car stopped.
"Kari?"
Kari looked up. "Mom?" she said. Her mom got out of the car followed by Jenny and Amanda.
"Are you ok?" Jenny asked. "Yeah I'm fine!" Kari said.
"Where did you learn that?"
Kari looked at her mom. "What?" Kari said. "Where did you learn, that, that, move?" Kari's mom said. Then she realized something.
"You didn't! You! Get in the car right now!" Kari's mom yelled. "What? Mom!" Kari said. "NOW!" Kari's mom yelled.
"I think we can walk home from here." Amanda said.
Kari's mom ignored Jenny and Amanda and went into the car with Kari.
"I can't believe you! I tried to raise you good but you disobeyed me!" Kari's mom yelled as they drove down the street.
"But mom! I!" Kari said. "I know what you did!" Kari's mom yelled, looking at Kari. "You went into the attic, read that diasterious book and now your trying to become a disgrace!"
"THEIR NOT DISGRACES!" Kari yelled. "Honey they were thieves!" Kari's mom yelled. "There's nothing in this world that's worst!"
"But they only stole from criminals!" Kari said as they pulled up into the driveway. "That's what your farther said now come on!" Kari's mom said.
It was getting dark as the two walked into the house. "Go to your room!" Kari's mom said. "But mom!" Kari said. "NOW!" Kari's mom yelled. Kari ran up to her room. Down below she could here her mom yell at her dad.
"I'm not gonna take this." Kari said. "I'm gonna be a thief and she can't stop me!"
Kari ran up to her closet and grab her blue backpack. She emptied it and put some clothes in. She grabbed the picture of the fox and put it into her bag. She also grabbed her diary. She put it all into her bag and opened her window.
The old sycamore tree was there, standing proud. Kari grabbed a branch and climb down it, making sure not to be seen from the living room window.
"AND IF YOU WOULD JUST BURN THAT STUPID BOOK LIKE I TOLD YOU KARI WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND IT!" Kari heard her mother yell.
"I CAN'T BURN A FAMILY HEIRLOOM!" Kari's dad yelled.
"I WOULD IF IT WAS A STUPID BOOK ON HOW TO BE A DISGRACE!" Kari's mom yelled.
Kari jumped onto the ground and ran. She knew exactly where to go. She entered the woods while it was dark. She found the hideout and went down into it. She opened the door and slammed it behind her.
"Hey be careful with it ok?"
Kari turned around. "Amanda what are you doing here?" Kari said. "I knew you would find a way to come here!" Amanda said.
"Yeah." Jenny said. "Kari are you trying to run away?" she said looking at Kari's backpack. "I would with a mother like that!" Amanda said.
"You guys I got to tell you something!" Kari said. "What" Amanda and Jenny said in unison. Kari told her friends what Roberto had said.
"That sounds strange." Jenny said. "What do you think it means?" Kari asked. "I think it means we should find that guy and ask him in person!" Amanda said.
"But what if they want to hurt Kari? And how are we suppose to find them?" Jenny said.
"Looks like we'll have to do it thief style!" Kari said, grinning.
