Sly arrived at where Murray had told him to go about 30 minutes after getting the message, when he got there he saw a big block like building with barred windows and automated turrents on the walls. "So he's holed up in there?" Sly asked

"Yeah man and he figured out how to turn on all the defenses as well" Murray stated

"Oh yeah, nice to se you again Chromanator (no one knows his real name)"

"What ever" he says indifferently "Can we just get this guy so I can get the reward?"

"Sure. Hey Bentley, we're out here at an old abandoned prison I need a way in"

"Ok Sly, um, just walk in through the front door and jump over the lasers"

"What about the turrents?" Sly asked

"They don't have ammo in them" Bentley reported

"Ha, you'd think that he would have noticed that" Chromanator laughed

"Okay Bentley I'm going in"

He walked up to the door and went in, the turrents tracked him and tried to fire but there were no shots fired from them. He jumped the lasers as instructed and made his way to the security room. And there sitting in the chair was the ugliest human he had ever seen, the man had no eyebrows, chin, or ears, disfigured teeth, his nose was missing a chunk, he had a hunchback, and one of his eye sockets was empty. The thing jumped out at Sly and he deftly sidestepped, bringing his cane down on the things back as he did so. It hit the wall and was knocked unconscious from the impact.

5 hours later

"So you're saying that you will give me your share of the reward for that guy in return for my help to rob a museum owned by a criminal for a criminal" Chromanator said in a business tone.

"Yep that about sums it up" Sly said

"Please Dad; you just have to help us"

"oh all right ill help, just one thing though"

"Yeah Dad?"

"Will there be ribs?"

"If you want, I can get them" Sly said with a smile.

"Okay I'm in"

Back at the safe house

"Alright Bentley I have found the painting, it's in the rare arts section, in the imagined landscapes category, apparently it is supposed to be a painting of Shangri-La" Carmelita said over the binocucom.

"Wow no wonders it's so rare, it's supposed to be the only painting in Australia that depicts Shangri-La, but I wonder why Dimitri just has to have this one?"

"Beats me, but I asked the security guard why there was so much extra security for this painting than all the other paintings and he said it was because they had caught 6 robbers so far specifically after this painting. They have round the clock guards just for this painting and its behind 4 inches of bullet proof glass, vacuum sealed and lasers every where, not to mention the weight detectors on the floor and eye/finger/DNA scanners at every door" Carmelita said worriedly.

"hmm, I think the first thing we need to do is find out who has access to the scanners, also we need to find the vacuum controls and guard paths, because they have to deactivate the weight sensors for that path in order for the guards to patrol" Bentley said thoughtfully "also we need to get some extra help on this one, so I'm calling in some favors"

Carmelita wondered what he meant about 'favors', but that could wait till later, because she had some stuff to take care of first. Before she had left Bentley had given her a bag of little balls he said were high explosives, and he wanted her to rig the main energy coupling to blow, easier said than done, the place was swarming with guards and toadies, all armed with pistols or bats. So she headed out on that mission to get out of the way.

At the power coupling room

"Okay the boss said we was to guard this here piece o' junk, and keep it safe, so I want all of you guys to form a search pattern that slowly circles outward then inward constantly, so we can detect any one in the immediate area, the motion sensors should pick up every thing else, so what are you standing around for you flea bitten (literally) mongrels, get to work" said one of the toadies, the only one in the room with an actual assault weapon, which from the looks of which it was a .50 cal. Modified chain gun modified to be used with hands, he also had an extended belt that led to a crate of what she assumed was ammo, and stacked behind him were more boxes with the lids off and the ends of belts hanging out of them, this was going to be hard so she took a deep breath and…

"Hey, what's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?"

"Ringtail, what are you doing here, with Murray too? And who's that?"

"Bentley said you might need some help and that is Murray's dad, the Chromanator, were here to help"

"All right that sounds good to me, The Murray, been waiting to crack some skulls"

"Yeah me too" his dad growled.

"All right you two and Carmelita can attack from the front, just as soon as you see my signal"

"Wait, Ringtail what's your signal?"

"Oh, you will know it when you see it, ready go!!"

okay guess what happens next time, you guessed it, the big fight scene, with a dramatic ending, tune in for it
