Here is Chapter 9! Again I hate flashbacks, but it's easier to explain.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

CPOV

"Carmelita, is… is he gone?" Danielle asked.

"Yeah he is," I said, looking at her slightly trembling figure, "What's wrong?" I asked. She ran to me and hugged me.

"Oh my God, I was so scared!" she was yelling now.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?" I asked trying to calm her down. I had my chin resting on her head and I was rubbing her back. She was sobbing and wouldn't stop.

"Ok just calm down and tell me what happen." I said.

"Travis! He did it!" she screamed and looked at me.

"W-wh-when you left to join Interpol, Travis asked me out." She explained, "That's what he does. He told me not to tell anyone because people would get jealous, so I didn't. We were dating for about four months and then I meet his friend Will. Travis got really weird after that, like Will had said something to him." She finished, wiping some of her tears away.

"Hey how about we sit down and eat? You can keep going though." I said and she nodded.

DaniPOV

"I was home alone one day and I heard someone in the house. I thought it was Travis just playing a dumb game or something. But it wasn't Travis; it was Will, which I thought was really weird. I told him that Travis wasn't here and I didn't know where he was. He said that he wasn't looking for Travis and that he was looking for me. The next thing I know I was being carried to a truck. I don't remember it that much, all I know I was in his car and being taken somewhere." I continued as we sat at the kitchen table.

"He carried me into a house and I recognized the house, it was Travis's. Will took me to this room and set me on the bed. I think he thought I was unconscious because he just left me there." I said.

~Flashback~

Where am I? Why did Will take me to Travis's house? My head hurts really bad. I hear people out there, where ever there is. It sounds like Travis's voice and he sounds mad. I got up to hear what they are saying.

"What the hell, why did he take her?" he whispered. Yes, he's here to save me!

"I'm sorry I don't have the patience like you to do this!" Will whispered.

"I told you to wait." Travis whispered again.

"Well I do this my own way. When I want a girl I take her, do whatever the hell I want with her, and then get rid of her. It's that simple." Will whispered.

"Your plan causes trouble." Travis whispered.

"How!" Will snapped.

"Like her family, did you ever think of that? When they find out that she is missing their going to call the cops. They're going to find that her lock was forced and your finger prints all over her house." Travis said.

"We have taken care of stuff like that before." Will said. What!

"She has a big family and lots of friends; you can't take out that many people without anybody noticing!" Travis said. Why is Travis saying this stuff?

Will was quite.

"Like always, I will clean up your mess!" Travis yelled.

Oh my god, Travis is not who he says he is. I have to get out of here. I was in a room with no windows, great. I started looking in the desk for something, anything. Bingo! I had found a gun. I opened it up. Three bullets! Who carries a gun with three bullets? At least it's something.

I heard someone coming so I hid in the closet. I heard the door open and I haled my breath. It was Will. He was just standing there, I think in shock because I was no longer there. I got out of the closet and Will turned around.

I pointed the gun at him and he stopped. He looked at me for a while and put his paws up.

The floor squeaked behind me and I turned. Travis attack me, grabbed me from behind. He had his arms around me, but I swung my heel into his groin.

He fell and Will tried to attack me. I shot him and ran. I ran out the front door and didn't look back. I didn't know how long or far I ran, but it was enough to get me home.

~End of flashback~

"I had run all the way home. I'd never been so scared in my whole life." I said.

Carmelita grabbed me and held me. She tried to calm me down and it worked.

I don't know how long we sat there, but all of a sudden I heard a quite bump on the fire escape. I jumped because I knew it had to be Travis coming back to take us or worse, kill us.

"What does he want now?" Carmelita muttered.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"What does he want now?" I muttered to myself. Danielle jumped but I knew it was just Sly.

I let go of Danielle and went to the fire escape and opened it.

"Hi." He said, sounding a little scared. I think he thought I'd meant what I said to him earlier.

"Hi." I said back.

"I saw that Travis left and I just couldn't leave it how we did." He said.

"I know." I told him. "If you want you can come in."

"No, its fine. Bentley is out there waiting, and we have to get back before Murray eats our dinner." He said.

"Well two things Cooper; first when do you not want to talk to me? Second: when do you need a chaperon to go places?" I asked.

"It's been a rough night and I don't think Bentley wants me going off on my own." He said.

"Why, does he think you're going to kill yourself because of what happen tonight?" I said jokingly.

He laughed too and I heard him mumble something about people being psychic.

"Well I got to go, maybe I will talk to you tomorrow?" he said casually.

"Sure, you can make us lunch." I said. He smiled.

"Ok. Bye Danielle." He said looking at her.

"Bye Carmelita." He said looking at me. He moved closer to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Then he was gone. I felt the blood rush up to my cheeks, damn that Cooper charm.

I turned around and Danielle smiled ear to ear.

"You got it bad for that boy."

BentPOV

"Do you want to wait here, or come in?" Sly asked. He knew I didn't feel really safe around her.

"Um I'll stay here." I said. He nodded and went to go talk to Carmelita.

He tapped on the window and they were talking about who knows what.

I knew that Sly had all ways like her, but I didn't know how much he liked her; I just he was flirting with her like he does all the other girls he meets…but after today, I think I know how much he does. I know that I love Penelope, and if anything were to happen to her. I don't know what I would do, and I think Sly feels that same way towards Carmelita.

Then it hit me.

I was supposed to be the smart one out of us and I didn't even see it!

Sly is in love with Carmelita! It's not just idle, flirty nonsense he delivers smoothly; he really means what he says when he talks to her. Also about what just happen earlier with him almost killing himself, he must really be in love with her.

Why did I not see it before? There are two types of love; one where you just love someone and would do anything and everything for them.

The kind of love that shouldn't be messed with.

And the other is brotherly love; it bonds you together like some sort of supernatural glue that won't let go, linking you for life through whatever was thrown your way.

I know he would take a bullet for her any day too.

Over the years I have seen him flirt with every girl we encountered, but he all ways seem eager to see Carmelita more than anyone else.

A couple minutes later he climbed up the fire escape to meet me back on the roof.

"Hey Bent," he greeted me with a simple wave of his hand, "Let's get outta here."

"So how did everything go with Inspector F-Fox?" I asked, stuttering as I said the policewoman's name; I don't care how long I might know her, I'll always be a little bit afraid of her.

"Great" he said with a wide smile. Ok something is up.

"Sly what's up?" I ask because I knew there was something that happened.

"Oh nothing really happen. We talked about Travis, talked about her, asked her out on a date, talked about me, she said yes to the date, I kissed her, then I left." he said with a big smile.

"Wait, you what?" I said. Wait, this is a good thing, he got a date with her.

"You got a date with her?" I asked not believing.

"Yep, I did." He said smiling and laughing.

He has got it bad for her.
