The New Beginning
"Now, I assume the two of you have had a long evening so you should probably get some rest. So would the happy couple like one room or separate rooms?" asked Cedric smiling innocently.
"Separate rooms, thank you," said Carmelita jerkily
"Bad luck dude," laughed Hugo.
Carmelita began to growl and Cedric, sensing that if Hugo kept talking, he would need a trip to the hospital, 'gently' pushed Hugo out of the room before showing Carmelita and Sly to their rooms. Carmelita's was spacious with cream walls and oak furniture. There was a queen-sized bed with freshly turned down sheets which looked like the most comfortable bed in all existence. Sly's room was the same, only the walls were gray instead of cream. Very subtly, the two rooms happened to be right across from each other
"I hope you two find the rooms to your liking, and tomorrow we may have some more guests. We can pick up some of your things from your respective apartments tomorrow. Then we will go looking for the remnants of the great Cooper gang. Bon nuit," said Cedric as he left. "So, what do you make of them?" asked Sly.
"That Cedric's a bit odd and his friend needs a lesson in manners," grumbled Carmelita.
"I thought I saw something when Cedric began talking about Wainwright. Hatred maybe?"
"Why would he hate Wainwright? What is the likelihood that the two of them have met?" wondered Carmelita.
"I got the feeling that the two of them know a lot more then they are telling us. But it's not like we have much choice but to work with them. Good night my love."
"Night Ringtail, and I don't want any night time visitors understood?"
"Carmelita, I am a gentleman. I have no intention of going against your wishes. Except those that end with me serving a few years in some rotting jail."
"Good night Cooper," said Carmelita as she closed her door.
Sleep well my love thought Sly as he entered his room. Sly leapt into his bed thinking Cedric's eyes definitely showed hatred when he mentioned Wainwright. What kind of connection could the two of them have had?
Back in the living room, Cedric was talking on his cell phone.
"That was Grace. She's gonna help us on this one. She's calling Julie to tell her we might need a place to stay in America for a while," said Cedric.
"Good . We could use some more help on this one," responded Hugo, " And I bet you're happy about Grace coming, huh lover-boy."
"Shut up," growled Cedric as he left for his room. Entering, he sat down on his bed and withdrew his sword. It was somewhat long and resembled a medieval knight's sword. However, in medieval Europe, this sword would have been considered witchcraft. The blade was made out of a titanium-steel alloy and had a several diamond fragments in the blade, allowing it to cut through almost anything. He set down his blade. I swore, I would defeat you with this blade Borus, and with God as my witness, I shall.
