Chapter Two.
(This occurred just before Chapter One)
"See ya later!" The thief bid goodbye to his team-mates and left them safely in the safehouse. He pulled out his binocucom. "Right. Carmelita's office. Let's see… AHA!"
He could see the office in the distance. What was also interesting to him was that he could just see Inspector Fox unlocking the office door. The thief had a sneaky plan in order to break in.
"Hey! Inspector Fox!" he yelled. "Still looking for a date to the prom?"
From the distance, Carmelita shined her bright light onto the thief's face. This revealed the thief's identity. Sly Cooper, the world's most wanted master raccoon thief.
"YOU!" Carmelita shouted. "I'll get you, Cooper!"
Sly ran towards the office, as Carmelita ran towards him. He was the quickest, not to mention all the ticks and traps he laid out. He left a decoy on a boat as he climbed a pipe up to Carmelita's office.
Carmelita did not see Sly climbing the pipe, but she did see what she thought was him, standing on a boat. "Now I've got you now!" she cackled. She jumped down. "FREEZE!" She shot "Sly" and suddenly, boat, decoy and Carmelita fell into the deep river below.
The real Sly had managed to reach Carmelita's office. "Well done, Sly, old chap!" said his companion, Bentley Wiseturtle, through the binocucom. "Now, a recap of your mission. You need to steal the private file of Matt Tember."
"Matt Tember. Got it." Sly switched off his binocucom, and made his way into Carmelita's office. He had been here once before, but now the organization had changed. Several large filing cabinets stood in the corner of the room. Sly opened the drawer entitled "T-Z".
"Now… let's see… Thomas, Tannen, Tosco… no Tember. Are you playing tricks on me, Bentley?"
"No! Course not!" came Bentley's angry reply through the binocucom. "It's next to your filing cabinet!"
"Wh- oh yeah!" Sly suddenly remembered that he had a filing cabinet all to himself. Opposite the spot where he was standing were two large filing cabinets. One, obviously, was his own. The other had to be the property of that Matt Tember guy.
"Right" said Sly. "His personal file… first time lucky!" Matt Tember's personal file was lying right in the center of the first drawer. "Goddit! Oh yeah…" Sly reached into his backpack to grab a calling card. Drat! None left! He then remembered the Alarm Cards that Murray had got him for his birthday. "This'll get the old fox into trouble" he said slyly, as he placed the Alarm Card into the third drawer.
Sly made his way out of Inspector Fox's office, not realizing that he had left the first drawer open! He picked up the key and locked the door. He pocketed the key.
"Wow!" said Sly through his binocucom. "That was a clean sweep!" And just like that, the Cooper Getaway Van arrived. Sly hopped in. "Bye, Carmelita!" he yelled back. "Hope you don't drown!"
As the Van drove away, Carmelita pulled herself onto shore. "I'LL GET YOU, SLY COOPER!" she bellowed. "Now… has anyone got a towel?"
