Uh-Oh
"You do realize that you'll have to tell your parents some time right?" Alexia said.
Carmelita's face went from a pleasant expression to a shocked one. 'Uh-oh! What if they hate him? Hell, dad'll probably try to kill him! I know Sly's charm might win over mom, but dad, oh shit!'
"Thanks for reminding me!" Carmelita moaned.
"Remember back in high school during our junior year," Alexia smiled. "Remember that guy Ted, how your dad hit him in the elbow with an aluminum baseball bat?"
"Oh damn, must you bring that up?" Carmelita groaned. "It was an accident, a freak baseball accident though, but a horrible accident none the less!"
"Then how come I heard that it was on purpose?" Alexia asked. "I heard it was no accident because he got angry at him, he was the only father who seemed to take things too far. After all, wouldn't a dad get a little crazy over the fact that some guy is…"
"Shut up!" Carmelita snarled. "So my dad's a little crazy, even I admit it!"
"Yeah well how far did Cooper make it?" Alexia smirked.
"Get the hell out! It's none of your business, and besides, we're saving that for marriage!" Carmelita snarled.
"Crap guys!" Sly yelled. "Carmelita is taking me to Cadiz to meet her parents at their summer home!"
"So?" Bentley said. "What could possibly be so problematic with something like that?"
"I've been hearing that he's one cop's badge away from being put in the nut house!" Sly yelped. "I heard he whacked one of Carmelita's high school boyfriends in the elbow with a bat!"
"Maybe he'll be much different around you," Penelope said.
"After all, what dad wouldn't like the guy who's bangin' his daughter?" Murray said, taking no notice to what he just said. "Wait, that didn't come out right."
Everyone was just staring at him in disbelief.
" I'm saving that for marriage," Sly said. "All I can say is that I'm screwed over, because I say one little remark that he doesn't like, and I'll probably be getting something much worse than a smashed elbow."
"Don't worry," Penelope said. "If you need us, we can set up a safe house in Cadiz and help you out."
"Actually Penelope," Bentley said. "We already have a safe house there. Dimitri started a new nightclub, which is fortunately running things within the law, except acting as our base camp for operations there."
"I don't remember ever pulling a job in Cadiz," Murray said, chomping down on a chilidog.
"We haven't Murray," Bentley said. "Yet that is. The rare blue diamond of the crown is making a worldwide tour of museums, and its' going to be at the Cadiz Museum of Natural History. If Sly is going while its' there, we could swipe it."
"Sorry Bentley," Sly notioned. "I can't, because Carmelita's dad runs the entire Spanish Division of Interpol. He controls every Interpol officer in the entire country of Spain! If he found out I had something to do with this, he'd personally book my ass before I could even say 'I do' at the altar. And if he found out that Carmelita knew that I'm still an active master thief, lord knows what he'll do to her!"
So then after a discussion about how the wedding was suppose to go, and a difficult decision on whose going to be the best man (a decision that wasn't decided), Sly went home to his and Carmelita's apartment.
"There getting married" Penelope said, crossing her arms.
Bentley's eyes went wide in a Oh crap! expression.
SinceSly and Carmelitanow had raised salaries each, they were able to easily afford a new and larger place to stay as well as a new car.
"Where have you been?" Carmelita asked, kissing Sly as he entered the apartment.
"Oh, I've been talking to the gang, apparently they want to pull off some job while we're in Cadiz, and by the way, Dimitri opened a new, but legal, nightclub there, so I figured we might get some discounts on the owner's expense." He smiled and sat down on the couch.
"Well I hope you're not too nervous to sleep when we get under way tomorrow," Carmelita said, sitting next to Sly, only to notice that he had fallen asleep. So she pulled over a blanket onto the both of them and joined him in a deep sleep.
