-----------------------

Changed Cooper

Heather arrived at the Copper hideout about twenty minutes after Shadora had called her. It was still raining so her fur was soaked, grumbling she handed the owl her lap top and a necklace that looked like a clawed hand of a bird or something similar. The claws were made of blue sapphire and in the middle was a rain drop shaped dark blue sapphire being held in place by the claws. "Here" she said as she sat down next to the owl, her eyes soon began observing the room and first thing she noticed was Sly was no where to be found "Where's Sly?"

"The parrot has him" Shadora said opening the lap top

"Arpeggio? I thought he was dead…"

"Yeah so did I"

"What does he want with Sly?" The wolf asked as she watched the owl begin typing on her computer furiously

"At the moment I am not certain" Shadora said as she continued typing

"Arpeggio wants immortality" Bentley began "Though what Sly has to do with that I do not know"

"There has to be some reason" Penelope said "Sly has to hold some purpose to Arpeggio if he went to the trouble of kidnapping him

"That may be true but what is the purpose" Bentley replied with a sigh.

None of them spoke for awhile they all seemed to be trying to figure out this mystery by themselves, as though they were trying to find some clue or something of significance that they may have missed to begin with. The only sound in the room was the sound of Shadora typing on her lap top, and even that seemed to soon be silenced. The owl had stopped typing, her computer was not giving her any of the information she needed and that was starting to drive her crazy, she needed to have information, she needed to have facts, she needed to know everything that was going on. (I am like that all the time if I don't know something I freak out ok kinda) The eerie silence was soon interrupted by a loud beeping sound that came from Bentley's computer.

"What is that?" Heather asked staring at the turtle as he moved over to his computer

"Tracking system" Bentley began "I placed a tracking bug on sly when he was asleep in case he decided for some reason to escape. The device alerts me when he's within twenty feet of us"

"So he's close?" Penlope asked curiously looking over Bentley's shoulder.

"Yes, very close he's alone in the…coffee house…" Bentley replied blinking

"I knew he liked coffee" Shadora said smirking

Heather shook her head at the owls response, Shadora had a habit of analyzing people and her first thought of Sly was that he liked coffee. One of the few things that they actually had in common was a liking for coffee. Shaking her head again she turned her attention back to Bentley who was staring intently at the computer.

"Well we should go get him!" Penelope exclaimed "The sooner the better!"

"No" Bentley said shaking his head

"What do you mean?" Heather asked staring at the turtle

"It's most likely a trap" he said looking at the two

"What makes you think that?" the wolf asked

"Because" Shadora said quietly staring seriously at the wolf "Where is Arpeggio?"

Heather and Penelope blinked the looked at Bentley's computer, Sly was indeed alone and Arpeggio was no where to be seen. Penelope focused her attention hard to the computer, the fact that Sly was alone and Arpeggio was no where to be found did send the mouse vibes that this was a trap and if it indeed was the case they needed a plan and the needed one fast. "Well" Penelope said analyzing the situation "Some one is going to have to go into the coffee shop and speak with him. If Arpeggio changed him in any way we need to know, and we also need to know why he's alone."

"Yes now the question is whose going?" Shadora asked staring at the mouse and the wolf. Penelope and Heather looked at her and they all seemed to come to an agreement. "Bentley" they all said together

"What? Why me?" Bentley asked staring at the three girls.

"Because Bentley out of the four of us you are Sly's closet friend, the museum incident didn't really give me any points, Heather hasn't seen him in a while and Penelope is in the same boat as us. You have to go Bentley" the owl said seriously. Bentley continued to stare at the three girls and came to the realization that he wasn't getting out of it. Sighing he began to get ready for the meeting with the last thought of 'Why me?'

Venice Italy Coffee House 12:36am

Bentley rolled in the coffee shop carefully scanning the area for Sly and anything out of place. Nothing seemed odd as far as he could tell then again it was a Coffee House in Venice…many things could be wrong. "I found him" the turtle said into the earpiece to the three girls. They all muttered back reply's, they all had a plan and hopefully it would work out. Heather was in the coffee shop far in a corner ready to act if anything bad happened. Penelope was sitting back at the hideout monitoring the computer incase anything came or Sly decided to run somewhere, also to be ready with the RC chopper and car if need be. Shadora was perched onto a building across from the coffee house watching for anything unusual and ready to act if anything was in sight. Her wing had healed enough for her to fly but not enough to do anything strenuous. The three were ready and all they needed was Bentley to talk to Sly. Scanning the room one more time Bentley made his way over to Sly and sat down "Hello Sly"

"Bentley" The raccoon said calmly

"You're back in Venice" the turtle said

"Yes indeed" he said giving the turtle an eerie smile

"So how did you get away from Arpeggio Sly?"

"He let me go" he replied to the turtle "I wasn't what he was after apparently"

"Really?" Bentley asked not buying it

"It's a trap it has to be" Heather said through the earpiece, they were all listening to Bentley and Sly's conversation

"Yeah it doesn't make sense for Arpeggio to let Sly go" Penelope replied

"The question is what is he planning and where is he right now." Shadora said looking around the sky and ground for any signs.

"Yes he did indeed let me go" the raccoon was smiling and it was starting to scare Bentley a little. Sly was acting weird; in the back of his mind Bentley knew Sly would act different Arpeggio had a perfect opportunity so why not act on it? The only thing that still puzzled him was why did Arpeggio take him in the first place?

Outside The Coffee House 12:53am

Shadora sighed as she listened to the conversation, it was starting to get boring and she was upset that she didn't get to go into her favorite coffee house. The moon shown dimly in the sky, there were dark clouds that weren't really noticeable that hovered near it, threatening to engulf the circle completely. Small droplets of rain were falling now, her feathers getting colder by the minute. Shadora yawned slightly trying her best not to fall asleep sitting on the building was boring. Her eyes closed but flew open as Penelope's shot through the earpiece. "There are unidentified people near the coffee house! Shadora who are they?"

The owl blinked and began to scan the area, and she saw them two different groups of people, two very different groups. One was a group of cops and one was a group of Arpeggio's birds. The two groups had not seen each other but they were coming dangerously close and the moment their eyes found each other chaos would erupt. "Arpeggio's boys and cops, Bentley, Heather get out and away from the coffee house!"

"But-" Bentley began turning his attention away from the raccoon and towards the window

"No Bentley, get out now! You don't have time!" the owl said getting frustrated as she watched the two groups

Bentley's attention was drawn from the window as he heard a noise behind him; he turned and saw Heather and Sly clawing, growling, and lunging at each other. Shadora saw the two from the window through the coffee house Sly was about to go after Bentley but Heather had stopped him in time and now they were wrecking her favorite coffee house. "Those two are more trouble than their worth" she said to herself as she jumped from the roof and entered the coffee house. "Quite playing and come on!" The owl's eye twitched as they ignored her, Bentley had moved to the door beside her waiting for the two to stop.

"You guys better get out of there" Penelope said over the headset "Those cops are coming in fast"

Heather got away from Sly's grip and darted out the door behind Shadora. Bentley turned to Sly who got up and stared at the turtle, the raccoons eyes turned to the window behind Bentley then fell back upon the turtle. "Goodbye Bentley" he said as he ran to one of the side windows "Oh and by the way" the raccoon said before he jumped out "I'm really not what he was after". Bentley watched the raccoon jump out the window and felt a pang of sadness and confusion but he ignored it and went out the front door but came to a halt behind Heather and Shadora as they were surrounded by cops.

"Freeze!" a voice said and the three easily recognized it, it was Carmelita. Bentley acting on impulse threw a smoke bomb in the middle of the cops. Heather and Bentley ran passed them and Shadora flew in the damp sky as rain continued to fall. "Find them!" Carmelita said as the smoke cleared, the officers nodded and started to run though the city, Carmelita had her eyes on the owl and started to follow her path. Unbeknownst to any of them was Arpeggio's group spread throughout the town watching the wolf and the turtle. The rain started to pick up and Shadora cursed to herself for she now had to stop, the rain was putting strain on her wings and her one was not completely healed. She started to take off across the roofs, the quicker she got to the hideout the better. She was only rooftops away when she felt something hit her in the back of the neck, but before she had a chance to figure out what it was darkness engulfed her. Arpeggio's birds all acted on the same time they flew like hawks out of the sky towards their two targets. The wolf and the turtle knew not what hit them as they both felt darkness engulf them.

Sly stood on top of the coffee house, Arpeggio beside him, they both watched from the building as the events unfolded "Two out of three isn't bad" Sly said to the bird

"Yes but it is not enough" Arpeggio replied calmly.
