Disclaimer: More of the same, I don't own Sly or the other characters made by Sucker Punch just my own.
In order to make up for the last chapter being late, I wrote this one soon after Chapter 2.
P.S. Thank you for your great reviews
The Discovery
As the bullet flew towards the pair, Sly jumped in front of Carmelita, preparing to take the bullet for her. Suddenly, a wolf landed in front of them and pulled out something on his back. Sly heard the sound of metal on metal and looked down to see the bullet cleanly slashed in half
The wolf slipped him a note and said "Follow those directions exactly, go!"
Sly grabbed Carmelita and they began to run as Sly opened the letter. A set of keys and a note came out. The note said: Now is not the time for explanations, take the Lotus Elise across the street and go to this address. Under the writing was an address an directions as how to get there. Sly and Carmelita ran for the Elise and jumped in. Sly put in the keys and was about to start the car when he caught Carmelita looking at him suspiciously.
"The keys were in the note," said Sly, guessing correctly that Carmelita was concerned about where he had gotten the keys. Sly started the car and they took off down the streets of Paris. Arriving at the address on the note, they parked outside and entered. It was a warehouse, filled to the roof with miscellaneous items and odd merchandise. Looking back at the note, Sly saw there was more writing on the back which read: At the address, go to the door at the end of the hallway and enter the code 11-24-8.
Sly and Carmelita ran to the end of the hallway and entered the combination. The door opened and they stepped in. Sly and Carmelita turned around just as the doors closed and the room started moving down. As the elevator stopped, they got out and were shocked by what they found. They were in a huge room filled with anything a hideout could need. It was equipped with all the necessities: plasma screen TV, DVD player, PS2, refrigerator, couches, and several rooms of the first room.. Sly and Carmelita walked in a few paces before a black jaguar entered from one of the rooms and sat on the couch.
"Alright where are we and what's going on?" asked Carmelita angrily. She had been having a really bad day. Someone had tried to kill them, Sly had never had amnesia, and the daredevil ride across Paris could have killed them. Needless to say, she was not happy when the jaguar answered.
"You're gonna have to wait for my partner to come back, I don't do briefings."
"Who do you..." Carmelita began before Sly stopped her. Right then, the door opened again and the wolf stepped out.
" I do believe I owe the two of you an explanation. Please sit down." Sly and Carmelita sat on one of the couches while the wolf sat on a chair. "Firstly, tonight could have been a lot worse if my friend and I hadn't gotten to the other snipers in time. Tonight you should have died. Luckily, you got out. Those men were sent by Borus Wainwright. Do you know of him?"
"He's a multi-millionaire who got his money from real estate. It's rumored that some of his business deals have not been exactly legal. He's on Interpol's list of possible criminals but he's pretty low on the list," answered Carmelita automatically.
"Do you want to know why he's so low on the list? He gives money regularly to Interpol's research divisions. He's actually one of the most dangerous people in the known world. He has contacts in the Russian mafia, the American mob, the Yakuza (the Japanese mob), and several other mobs and terrorist organizations. He often acts their negotiator between the several groups. Apparently, the two of you seem to have gotten in his way and he's been forced to use force, probably because he knew he couldn't bribe or corrupt the two of you. Cooper, Inspector Fox, we want to take this creep down, but we can't do it without your help. Cooper, we need you to come out of retirement."
"You seem to know a lot about us, but who are you?" asked Sly.
"Us? My name is Cedric and my jaguar friend over there is Hugo. We're The Headhunters. I assume you've heard of us."
