Traitors
"YOU GUYS LIED TO ME!" Sly yelled as he burst through the front door of the hideout and confronted Bentley, who was sitting relaxed in his wheelchair. "I'M NOT THE REAL THING AM I? LET ME GUESS, SOME LOANER WHO LOOKS LIKE COOPER WHO YOU SICKO'S PLUCKED OFF THE STREETS, WIPED MY MEMORY, AND THEN SURGICALLY ALTERED MY BODY SO THAT I'M THE SPITTING IMAGE OF HIM."
"Now," Bentley said.
Suddenly, Murray appeared and pinned Sly to the ground. Penelope then came in with a dart gun and fired it into Sly's neck.
"Sorry Sly, but it is for your own good," Bentley muttered.
Sly then lay there motionless, with the exception that he was still breathing.
"I think it's time Sly knows the truth, and maybe Inspector Fox ought to know too," Bentley said.
Carmelita sat in her office. She stared motionless into space. Looking at the wall, looking beyond the wall, never seeing the wall. The only thing that snapped her out of her trance was not the supply cart collision outside her office that resulted in a night of a thousand cuss words but the phone ringing two feet from her.
"Inspector Fox of Interpol," a nasally voice said.
"Yeah?"
"We have the answers that you seek regarding a one raccoon."
"What? Who is this?"
"Meet me in the alley behind 123 Fake Street, and come alone." The line went dead.
Carmelita looked at the receiver and then at the Cooper calling card she had from when Sly broke into her office. Her face going into a serious and angered look, she grabbed her shock pistol and her car keys.
"Chief?" said the officer.
"Yeah, what is it Tanner?"
"Well, Forensics did some tests on a blood sample that the supposed Sly Cooper left on a scalpel and…"
"Who is it then? Tanner? ANSWER ME!"
"The DNA is the same."
Carmelita arrived at 123 Fake Street. She warily moved around making sure that there were no unexpected surprises that would go against her health.
"Inspector Fox," said that it nasally voice.
Surprised, she turned around to see Bentley. "YOU!"
"It's time you knew," Bentley said.
Suddenly, a dart struck Carmelita in the side of her neck. A few minutes later, she was out like a light.
