Cop on the Edge! Part Deux
"Everyone, we have something to tell you," Sly said as he and Carmelita walked into the living room.
Everyone gave them a serious look.
"I know my police file said I had amnesia, but the truth is that I faked it," Sly said.
"He did it for me," Carmelita added. "He loved me, but there was no other way for any of this to happen."
"I am still very much the active master thief you've heard about, I just couldn't go to the alter with this on my chest. Sorry everyone for deceiving you."
Maria looked back at everyone, who had a surprised look. "Didn't see that coming!"
Suddenly, the surprised look on Juan's face turned to an angry and hate filled expression. He got up and went to the ornate desk at the corner of the room. He opened a drawer and pulled out a gun and stuck the magazine in.
'How many guns does this guy have?'
But by the time Juan turned around to fire, the only thing left of Sly was his feet disappearing down the laundry chute. Juan quickly reached the stairs into the basement, but the door wouldn't budge.
"KNOCK KNOCK SLY COOPER, HERE COMES YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW COMING TO KICK YOUR ASS!"
But by the time he managed to get into the basement there was no trace of him, he then heard some scuffling and ran to the other side of the basement, where he saw one of the windows that leads from the basement to outside flapping.
'Damn coon's outside!'
Finally, this time Juan got to fire his gun. He shot three rounds at Sly as he was chased around the house. But they all missed. Sly went running for the lotus, and nearly made it when Juan fired a bullet into his back. Sly found it so painful he didn't realize Julio jumping out from behind the Lotus who then punched him in the face. (Remember, Julio works at Interpol just like his dad.)
"Good job Julio!" Juan said. "Slap the cuffs on him!"
Julio looked at Sly. There was a small trickle of blood coming out from beneath him, and another trickle of blood coming from his nose. Julio then looked over to the house where everyone else had gathered. Even from this distance he could see the tears in Carmelta's eyes.
"DO IT!" Juan yelled.
"No father," Julio said. "This raccoon, as a thief he may be, is going to be your son-in-law, and my brother-in-law, and I'm just fine with that. He make's my sister happy, and I haven't ever seen her this happy, well, ever. Dad, if you can't see past your black and white, then maybe you should at least give my sister the courtesy of letting her live with the man, in this case a raccoon, who makes her happy."
Then those few words Sly said a few hours ago finally reached him.
You're scared that Carmelita won't find the right man. The only problem is that she's isn't having trouble finding a man to suit her, it's you trying to find the right man that suits you to be with Carmelita. You're afraid that she might give up everything. But she's not. She's gonna keep on going. She's not gonna give up. I love her. And she loves me. And if that's something that you can't understand, then maybe you should TRY to understand.
Juan, his face turning into a sorrow filled expression, dropped his gun, and bent over to help Sly up.
"Come on son," Juan said to Sly as he looped Sly's arm around his shoulder to help him walk. "We need to patch up your back. I don't want a half dead raccoon to meet my daughter at the alter!" Everyone smiled, even Juan.
A/N To all those that noticed that the name of the dad changed, that's my bad. I've been busy so I've been getting names mixed up. But I hope you havn't been too confused. Sorry.
