romantic Venice, Italy. But for now lets see what we have in store for you today! Read on and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sly Cooper.

Chapter 7: A new mission

"What happened?" Thought the tigress as she finally awakened from the sedative.

"Where am I?" She asked herself.

"Good you're finally awake." said a strange voice. She turned her head and saw the primate she met before.

"You!" said the tigress wanting to grip his throat but for some reason she couldn't move. She looked down and saw that both of her wrists and ankles were

restrained and she was wearing a hospital type gown.

"Don't even try it. Those restraints are made of reinforced titanium. Not even you can break them." said the man. Then she calmed down a bit.

"Now then I believe a proper introduction is in order. My name is Dr. M I am the scientist who brought you back." said Dr.M. The tigress was confused.

"Back? From where?" the tigress asked.

"According to what I know about you so far, from the brink of death." Dr.M said.

"Death?! How did I… wait I remember." said the tigress with a scowl.

"That blasted Cooper gang did me in didn't they?!" demanded the tigress. Dr. M nodded. This infuriated but at the same time confused the young clone.

"How did my body survive?" asked the clone.

"That my dear is a story for another time." said Dr. M. Then he reached for his communicator. The clone saw this and braced herself remembering the last time he

used the device. She heard a click but instead of electricity coursing through her body, she felt something release. Then she looked up and saw that her restraints

were unlocked.

"You released me?" asked the tigress as she rubbed her wrists.

"Yes. Now if you're in a more civilized mood would you like to join me for lunch?" Dr. M replied. The tigress was very confused.

'First he sedates me, now he's treating me to a meal?' was the thought she was having. But her stomach was growling with hunger. Then in response to the doctors

question she nodded her head.

"Very well. I shall wait for you downstairs." said Dr. M. Then he opened the door and left so the clone could ready herself. Outside one of the doctors men was

standing with his jaw dropped.

"Dr. M are you sure it's wise to let her loose?" the guard asked.

"Now Jefferies, why do you look so worried?" asked Dr. M.

"Nothing its just the fact that she killed 8 men and…" Jefferies started, but a glare from Dr. M silenced him.

"Now if you'll please excuse me I'm late for lunch." Dr. M replied and was about to continue on his way.

"Uh sir one more thing." said Jefferies. Dr. M stopped and turned around.

"What now Jefferies?" asked Dr. M.

"I have todays report from the Cooper Vault." said Jefferies. This got the doctors attention.

"It's about time. What did they say?" Dr. M asked. But Jefferies was hesitant.

"What's the matter cat got your tongue?" Dr. M asked. Still nothing and Jefferies was starting to sweat.

"Well out with it Jefferies!" demanded Dr. M. Then Jefferies finally gave up.

"It was another failed attempt Dr. M." answered Jefferies. Then he prepared himself for the worst.

Dr. M thought for a few moments before he spoke.

"Calm down Jefferies it's alright." said Dr.M. Then Jefferies loosened up and was confused.

"Really Dr. M?" asked Jefferies.

"In fact I need you to make a phone call for me." said Dr. M as he retrieved a piece of paper and a pen from his coat pocket. He wrote on it then handed it to

Jefferies.

"Who is this?" Jefferies asked.

"An ally of mine, come and find me when you reach him." Dr. M said.

Jefferies just did as he was told and left. Then Dr. M headed down to the dining room to ready lunch for him and his creation. Soon the clone came down to the

table.

"There you are my dear. Your lunch is over there." said Dr. M pointing to the silver dish with a cover over it. She went to the dish, and uncovered it to find a

steak dinner.

"You're not going to eat?" the clone asked suspiciously.

"I already ate my dear." Dr. M said. Then the clone sat down, and ate the first bite cautiously. When she tasted it she went at it.

"You were hungrier than I thought." Dr. M said. When she finished eating they talked.

"How do you know my name?" the clone asked.

"When my men found your body in Paris, I did some research. I must say I'm impressed. First serving as a partner to one of Interpols finest, then made a

Captain, then made a traitor, to hijacking Clockwerks body." Dr. M said.

"That's some research." the clone said.

"Anyway according to what I learned you alongside Cooper are on Interpols most wanted list." Dr. M continued.

"Figures." the clone said.

"But I can offer you shelter here." Dr. M said.

"Really?" the clone asked.

"And I can provide you with new equipment that you can use to crush Cooper." Dr. M said.

"Now you've caught my attention." The clone said. Just as they were about to continue Jefferies came with a phone in hand.

"Dr. M…" he said.

"We shall continue this another time my dear. There is another matter I must attend to. Jefferies could you please escort her to the room we prepared?" Dr. M

said as he took the phone, got up and left.

"Yes Dr. M." Jefferies said as he escorted the young tigress to her room.

"Cooper will regret the day he crossed paths with me." the clone thought as she was walking to her room.

Meanwhile back at the Cooper hideout Sly and Neyla just finished training for the day.

"Who knew learning your techniques would be so difficult." Neyla said exhausted.

"Well you just need to work on your focus a bit." Sly said.

"Sly! There you are." Bentley said. He had a letter in his hand.

"Bentley what's up?" Sly asked.

"This was at our doorstep today." said Bentley handing Sly the letter. It was addressed to him. Sly opened it and found a letter. The letter read:

Dear Sly,

You probably don't know me but I knew your father. In fact we used to work together like your gang is now. I was upset to hear about his death. But overtime

I heard about your deeds and I believe it's time to leave your mark. If you wish to know more here is where you can find me tonight.

Signed

Harold McSweeney

At the bottom of the letter was a location and a cell number. McSweeney was in prison.

"Are you okay Sly?" Neyla asked.

"Neyla I need to take care of something so you guys will have to start dinner without me tonight." Sly said.

"What's up?" Bentley asked. But Sly was already out the door. Then he read the letter.

He was gone for most of the night. When he came back it was close to midnight.

"How did it go?" Bentley asked. Neyla was already in her room fast asleep.

"It went well. Bentley did you know there was a Cooper Vault?" Sly said.

"No. Why?" Bentley asked.

"According to McSweeney the Cooper Vault is where all of my family's fortune is stored." Sly said as he looked for a map. When he found one he placed it on the

table, looked for a location, then taking a pencil marked an area on the map.

"That's close to the middle of nowhere, an ideal location to hide loot of that magnitude." Bentley said.

"Bentley, if we get there now it would be our biggest score yet." Sly said in awe.

"I know. But for now get some rest. we'll talk about it when I have more information." Bentley said. Sly gives him a thumbs up then heads to bed. Before he heads to

his room he heads to Neylas room to check on her. When he enters he sees the young tigress fast asleep.

"Good night Neyla." Sly whispered. Then he headed to his own room.
