Disclaimer: I do not own Sly Cooper or any other character from the Sly Cooper games. The only characters I own are Cedric, Hugo, and any other OCs I throw in to the mix.
Author's note: Thank you for all your great reviews, as this is my first fic, I appreciate any and all suggestions, EXCEPT FLAMES. Also, the character contest is still going on so, if you have any characters you have made, please send them in (anthropomorphs only though (no humans)). Thank you.
Kidnapped!
The next day, the gang had left for the conference where Bentley and Penelope were supposed to be. Cedric, Grace, Sly, and Carmelita were all dressed in their finest and had the guest passes Grace had gotten for them.
"Okay, remember, we're just here to talk to Bentley. We're not here to sightsee. You only need to look like you're interested in the exhibits," reminded Cedric.
"I don't think we're gonna have a problem, the only one who might go crazy in a science exhibit is Bentley," laughed Sly.
After about a half-hour's worth of searching, they eventually found Bentley and Penelope giving a speech about their own new invention, some sort of solar-powered engine which would cut down on gasoline usage. The gang decided to leave them alone until after the awards ceremony; it looked like they were busy enough at the moment. Later, at the awards ceremony, Bentley and Penelope were awarded a prize for the most environment-friendly invention. After the ceremony, they left the hall to wait for Bentley.
However, after waiting for about a half-hour, neither Bentley nor Penelope had come out. Cedric poked his head around the door to see if they were still there and saw Bentley talking with a coyote. The coyote said something and Cedric saw Bentley reach for one of his bombs. The coyote laughed and walked out of the room. Right at that moment, Sly and the others entered and surprised Bentley.
"Hey Bentley, long time no see,' said Sly as Bentley's jaw dropped a few feet.
"Sly? What are you doing here? And who are these people and...Carmelita?" Exclaimed Bentley as the group entered.
"It's okay Bent. She's not going to arrest us, not now at least."
"But what...? Why...? What are you doing here?"
"Truthfully, we need your help. Apparently, someone's got it in for Carmelita and myself."
"Unfortunately Sly, I think I'm the one that needs your help."
"With what? You and Penelope seem to be doing great. I saw your invention. Its fantastic!"
"Unfortunately, you're not the only one who thought so. You know of the Yakusa, right?"
"The Japanese version of the mob?" asked Carmelita.
"Yes. It seems they were so impressed by my invention, they decided they would like me to work for them. And apparently, they didn't want me to say no."
"What do you mean?" asked Sly.
"They took Penelope!"
