The heist

"Okay, so here's what you're going to have to do Carm" Sly said over the binocucom "you're going to jump down the ventilation shaft at the same moment Bentley detonates his bombs at the power coupling."

"Right, and then, while the power is down, you're going to head over to the alarm disengaging switch, with the power down it shouldn't register on the grid, and when the power comes back on the alarms will be inactive." Bentley said nervously, he didn't trust Carmelita, yet, but Sly trusted her to do what they told her too, so he helped.

"Right and then it should be a cake walk from there… as long as you're unseen" Sly said with no hint of nervousness in his voice, although the fact of him finding a long lost Cooper hung in the balance of whether or not Carmelita held true to her words.

Carmelita's POV

"As long as you're unseen" Carmelita nodded to herself and waited for the telltale boom that would tell her to start. She didn't have to wait long, for soon she heard a distant thud, and Bentley said over the binocucom "GO, GO, GO, GO" she jumped and fell silently through the opening… into the midst of 15 guards on a coffee break. As soon as she saw this, she drew her shock pistol and, while they were scrambling to get their weapons, knocked them all out cold. "You know Bentley; you could have told me that this room was a rec room for the guards"

"Sorry I forgot to mention that, anyway the switch should be on the wall next to the microwave" Bentley said

Carmelita hit the switch and ran down the hallway to the room where the painting was supposed to be, but when she entered the room, there wasn't just one of those paintings, there were hundreds of them! "uh guys, I think we have a problem"

"What is it Carm" Sly asked

"There is more than one of these paintings; apparently they have an entire exhibit devoted to his paintings"

"Listen, you're looking for one of his self portraits, like we said he was a wolfhound, Irish to be exact, and he has red fur with small blue spots all over him." Bentley said

"Okay I've found the painting, but there's a problem, it's massive!"

"That's where I come in" Murray said as he dropped an unconscious guard with a bloody nose. He lifted the painting and started for the back door where he had parked the van. As he did this 20 more guard burst from the door, and Carmelita started unleashing a hale of shock balls (for lack of better term) upon them, suddenly she was out of power and had to take them out the hard way, as one rushed her, she ducked beneath the blow, and delivered a sharp uppercut to the guys nose, and as her fist connected with his face, she was already swinging her foot out in a round house kick that took out three more guards and scared the rest off.

As they drove off to the safe house to deliver the painting to Dimitri and get the information on Sly's cousin, Carmelita zoned out staring at Sly in the front seat until Murray snapped her out of it with a "What do you want from this restraint, we're getting take out?"

"I'll have a burger" she said

"So where are we meeting Dimitri anyway?" Sly asked

"He said to drop it off at this address" Bentley said holding up a piece of paper

"And when do we get the information?" Sly asked eagerly

"He said that there would be a contact there to give you the information" Bentley replied
