Chapter 3: discovery
Sorry for not gaping between paragraphs still kinda new to all of this hope you enjoy! :)
Ty sat in the principle office with Joseph at his side. "Why did you fight with them Joseph?" Asked the principle. The little raccoon inhaled, sighed then spoke "I was very tired of them picking on me, just because I wasn't big as them." said Joseph. The principle nodded in understanding so did Ty. "I was at the playground then Jack and Mark came around, they shoved me off the swing calling me short stack." said Joseph tearing a little. "Why didn't you tell a teacher Joe?" Asked Ty "I wanted to but when I always tell them they don't do anything!" said Joseph crying into his hands. This made Ty feel sorry he came close to Joseph hugging him. "Hey it's okay shhhh...it's okay." Said Ty comforting his brother. "Our school has a strict rule on bullying Joseph, I'll make sure those boys will get it." Said the principle with an assured look. "Thank you sir, I'll be sure to straighten out Joseph." Replied Ty. Then Joseph gulped a knot down 'uh-oh' he thought.
"Sir may I take Joseph out for the day?" Asked Ty. "Of course." Replied the principle. Then the two raccoons left the office "you were just kidding aren't you." Said Joseph. Then Ty looked at him and gave him a mischievous grin. Joe punched Ty, laughed softly and left for home.
As they were driving Joseph had a curios look on his face. This made Ty wonder what was his brother thinking about. "You okay Joe?" Asked Ty "yeah I'm fine." replied Joe. "You hardly speaking through the car ride." Said Ty. "Ty, where do baby's come from?" asked the curious raccoon. An awkward silence fell upon them. "Um." Said Ty awkwardly "I don't think you should know just yet Joe your still young." Said Ty. Joe sighed in irritation "I guess your right." Said Joseph. There was more silence fore the rest of the ride home.
When they were home Xavier was asleep on the couch. Ty noticed that Xavier was shivering in his grabbed a blanket then covered his brother then Ty kneeled down and patted his brothers head softly. The sleeping raccoon groaned and fluttered his heavy eye lids. "Ty is that you?" Said Xavier still very tired. "Yeah it me, sorry for waking you go back to sleep okay?" Said Ty with a smile. "Okay." Said Xavier then fell back into sleep. Ty got up and went for the dining room to check on Joseph. As he was walking he noticed a letter and a box on the floor that was from one of his uncle Antonio. "Dear young Joseph, I'm very happy that you are eight years old now. That means that your old enough to inherit the Cooper legacy. I hope that this will help you and your brothers on future heists. Sincerely, uncle Antonio". Antonio was a member of their fathers group and Joseph's god father. Ty took the envelope and box to Joseph.
In the kitchen Joseph was reading their family book. This made Ty happy to see that his brother was interested in the Cooper ways. Ty remembered how he never wanted to be a thief but as time past he accepted his family legacy. "Psst...Joe there's a package and envelope for you." Said Ty. This made Joe furrows his brow "who's it from?" Asked the curious raccoon. Then Ty had a smirk on his face "why don't you come and see?". Joseph walked over to the box and slowly opened it. His eyes were very wide at the sight of a thief care package. He opened the metal box inside to find smoke bombs, grappling hook, a small crossbow with sleep gas, tranquilizer rounds, and noise maker ammo. This left the two in 'awe' but then stopped when the two remembered the envelope. The young raccoon opened it to find a lump some of money. Ty grabbed it and counted it to be 2,000 dollars! This made them squeal in delight but then it was shortened by a red ominous glow in the distances.
This made Joe and Ty little worried, then Xavier rushed into the kitchen scared y of the glow too. "It's the police!" said Xavier with a worried look on his face. "Go up to your rooms and pack everything you can, GO!" He shouted. "Right!" Said the two younger raccoons then they ran for their rooms. They packed their clothes, canes, whatever else they needed and the Thevius Racoonus with them. They went back down grabbing food and their money as well "This is the police come out now with your hand up Cooper!" Shouted a cop on a megaphone. "What do we do?!" Asked Joe with fear on his face. Ty and Xavier looked at each others and nodding at each other. Xavier ran for a lamp and pulled it, then smoke mines blew blinding all the cops. Then Ty pulled a rug to reveal a trap door.
"Quickly through here!" Ty commanded, the young raccoons didn't think twice so they went through the trap door.
Xavier and Joe never knew of this secret passages of Cooper family that goes to every safe house that the Coopers own. "Where are we going Ty?" asked Joe scared of the dark tunnels. "It's the Cooper passages they've been here since our first ancestor of our line." Said Ty. "That's right, these tunnels are undetectable but none of our ancestors knew why." Said Xavier. "I've studied the tunnels for as long as I remember." Said Ty. They were walking through the tunnels until they saw a faint light. "Is that a way out?!" Said Joseph excited to get out of the creepy tunnels. The three ran for the light and saw it was a locked door. "Stand aside I got this." Said Ty holding a lock-pick. It took ten minutes but he picked the lock. They slowly opened the door to see a fancy library.
The floors were marble and the walls were sapphire blue. "No way there must be thousands no millions of books!" Exclaimed Xavier for he was such a bookworm. "Shhhh we don't know who lives here!" hissed Xavier's brother. "Who are you, what are you doing here?!" Shouted a dark figure from the second floor of the library. Ty and Joseph grabbed their canes, except for Xavier.
Xavier chuckled out loud and this made his brothers confused. "You okay or something X?" Asked Ty very confused. "Do you think it's funny that you broke into my house!" Exclaimed the angry dark figure.
"Come on grandpa Thaddeus you may fool my brothers but not me." Said Xavier with a grin on his face. 'Grandpa Thaddeus?!' Thought Xavier's brothers "grandpas been dead for a year now, Xavier thats not him." Said Ty. "No, he's right." Said the figure in a saddened voice then the figure pulled the curtain from behind him. "It's me." Said their grandpa Thaddeus.
"Grandpa?!" Exclaimed Xavier's brothers dumbfounded 'I knew it.' Thought Xavier with a grin on his face. Their grandpa used ninja spire jump on a light in the room then to the floor. He almost lost balance when he landed "man I'm getting old." Said Thaddeus while attempting to pop his back. The three raccoons laughed and soon after their grandpa too. Their grandpa grabbed a golden bell and rang it, then a maid who was wolf came in "Madeline would please fetch us some hot cocoa please?" Asked Thaddeus. Madeline nodded and rushed to the kitchen to make the cocoa.
"Come with me I'll like to show you something." Said Thaddeus. The three followed him into the living room.
