Sly Cooper and the Space Thieves
Chapter 25- The Little Spy
It took an hour and some certain equipment from the Dragon Thief, but Bentley had finally got his video cam attached to Penelope's RC helicopter. He was pleased with himself, as was Penelope. "It is done. All you need to do now Penelope is to find a way into Sacu's private chamber in his ship. Think you can pull it off?" The mouse nodded. "I sure can. Once my little spy is inside his room, I'll start the camera to record everything he says. When he talks about being the one who killed Rovax's father, we got him in the bag."
Sly smiled. "Great. What are we waiting for? Let's get this thing started." Penelope got out her remote control for her now high-tech copter and got the little thing moving. Dimitri opened up a little window in their guest room so that the copter can fly out. It flew out and went towards the Tramuran ship. It was just around the other side of the fortress. The vessel looked like something out of a horror movie; it was black and had spike like turrets all around it. It also looked tighter than a drum; Penelope can't find a way in for her RC vehicle.
"Keep searching, Penelope. There is always a way in, even if it isn't obvious." Just then, Penelope's not-so obvious entrance has revealed itself. Sacu was entering the ship from outside, perhaps coming back from a warm up for tomorrow's race. He opened the doorway into his ship. "Quick Penelope! Get the copter inside before the hatch closes!" Murray yelled. "I'm on it." The copter managed to get in just as the hatch closes. Penelope made sure that her RC spy was very high, right above Sacu's head so that no one can see it.
A few minutes later, Sacu finally went to his quarters near the very back of the ship, exhausted but pleased with himself. The copter found an open vent on the ceiling for it to fit in; a perfect place for it to hide. It was in perfect position for eavesdropping. Penelope then turned on the camera for the dirt Sacu was about to bring out. "Alright guys, keep it quiet. Let us hope he says what we need him to say." said Penelope. They all watched the screen on Bentley's computer, which was connected to the cam on the copter.
Then Sacu began to talk to himself. "Wow, what a warm up that was! I will flatten that feather duster Rovax for sure tomorrow! Man, I can't believe that he is still upset about his dear old dad. He must have really loved that old bird. But he is fighting a long lost battle; he will never be able to prove that I killed his father. And after I win the race, I will demand that Queen Wingdra should allow her people to serve us as slaves. Personally, I think it was a mistake for our people and hers to have stopped fighting each other. After all, it was Lord Kona's idea to put the Dramarans to slave labor, as well as to assassinate Rovax's father. Soon these canaries will be under our rule!" He began to laugh insanely.
Sly and the gang stood there in silence. They had got the evidence they needed, but they found out more than they had expected. Jacor spoke first. "I don't believe it. We not only have proof that Sacu killed Rovax's father, but proof that his leader had given the order to do it." "We also found out something even bigger." Beowulf said. "His master intends to take the Dramarans as slaves if Sacu wins. This cannot be allowed to happen!" Everyone agreed. Sly then turned to Penelope. "Alright Penelope, we got the info we needed. Bring the copter back so that we can prepare the evidence to show after the race."
"You got it Sly." She then moved her RC copter quietly through the ventilation shaft to find a way out. It did not take long to find some light coming in through a nearby opening. It opened and closed every 10 seconds for circulation. Penelope waited for the vent to open, and then she moved her copter through with 3 seconds to spare. With the copter out of the ship, Penelope guided it back to their room, thankfully undetected. After she had examined the evidence in the camera, she said it looked and sounded perfect.
"Excellent. All that needs to be done now is to prepare the evidence so that everyone can see and hear it. It will take a few hours, but it will be worth it to bring Sacu and his leader to justice." Bentley said with a smirk. Just then, Rovax came into the room. The gang quickly put their gear away; they don't want to tell Rovax about their plan to expose the ones who were responsible for this father's death, doing so would mean they had to tell him that the queen told them of the situation. Luckily, he didn't see any of the gear when he came in.
Rovax looked calmer than they had last saw him, but still on edge. "Hello my friends, are you enjoying your stay?" "More you can imagine." said Sly with a smile. "So, are you looking forward to the race tomorrow?" Rovax didn't answer immediately. Then he said, "More you can imagine, Sly. More than you can imagine." He then left without another word. Carmelita looked sad. "Poor Rovax. The sooner we show the evidence, the sooner those oversized arachnids will be put away for life." "Hear, hear." said everyone in the room as they got into bed and fell asleep.
