The Hunt

Hugo ran to the first warehouse across the rooftops of the city. When he got there he turned on his binocucom and began to search the area for any signs of Penelope. This is such a drag, he thought, Why do I have to look for some girl? A mouse with glasses and blond hair? This whole day is a drag. After a half-hour's search, Hugo had found nothing and phoned in that Penelope wasn't at his warehouse.

Cedric hadn't been having much luck either. He had explored the warehouse top to bottom and had found nothing.

"She's not here either, let's hope Sly finds her," he said.

Meanwhile, Sly was getting used to being back in the thieving business. Performing some of his moves had gotten much more difficult. He had been forced to knock out several guards as he went through the warehouse until he finally found what he had been looking for. Penelope was in a locked room working on something that looked similar to one of Bentley's grapple-cams.Sly turned on his binocucom's transmitter.

"Hey Bent, I found her," said Sly.

Two huge sighs of relief came from the transceiver. One of them was Bentley's and the other sounded like Cedric's.

"Is she okay?" asked Bentley.

"She looks like she's working," answered Sly.

"Working? Sly, I put one of my grapple cams in your pouch. Slide it under the door and see if she can get it.

Sly pulled out the cam and slid it under the door to her cell before banging on the door just loudly enough for her to hear.

Penelope looked around, saw the cam on the floor, and dashed to it.

"Bentley, Bentley is that you?"

"Penelope? Oh thank God, you're okay."

"Me? I'm fine. They told me that they had you captive and I had to help them so that you wouldn't be hurt."

"Sounds like the two of you were conned," laughed Hugo.

"Who was that?" asked Penelope who had never heard Hugo before.

"He's been helping us. He and his friend are the Headhunters," responded Bentley.

"The Headhunters! Now, there's a couple of high-rollers," she said impressed.

"Anyway, they're not probably going to let you go now that they have you there. We'll have to get you out before they decide I've been 'uncooperative,'" said Bentley, "This could be tough. Sly?"

"Yeah Bentley?" answered Sly.

"Come on back, we need to plan a strategy for getting Penelope out."

"I hear ya. Want me to take some photos?"

"Yes, try to get some of the boss Kajiyama. We need evidence if we plan to get this creep behind bars," interrupted Cedric

"Why are the rest of you so angry with the Yakuza?" asked Sly, "Grace practically went berserk over them."

"The Yakuza have several money-making ventures. One of these is pleasurable company. That's why I was worried what we would have to do if she wasn't at on of the warehouses."

Sly had to work hard to control his anger. He had teased Carmelita, but he was a gentleman and was furious at the behavior of these criminal-wannabe's. Fighting to control himself, he took several pictures of the hideout, a couple of Kajiyama, and left. Sly thought You threaten my friend, kidnap another friend, and now you do this too? These guys are going down!
