Ch.2: The Craving
The white wolf walked towards the far side of Paris and stood there waiting under the moonlight. Sly and his pals were hiding behind a building in hopes that she wouldn't sense them. After a moments thought Sly said " Mabye I'll go talk to her see what she knows?"
Bentley stared at Sly saying "You sure you're not doing this just to flirt?"
"Come on Bentley" said Sly " you know me better than that,"
"I know" said Bentley "that's why I'm worried,"
Ignoring Bentley's words of caution Sly approached the white wolf and instantly introduced himself to her.
"And what's a lovely lady like you doing on a night like this?" said Sly.
"Oh, your that racoon that the cops are after" said the wolf " I appreciate you for taking the fall,"
"Same here" said Sly sarcastilly " you wouldn't happen to know about a missing jewel called the 'Jade Dragon' is do you?"
"What if I do?" said the wolf narrowing her eyes " the jewel isn't worth that much anyway. I'm after a much bigger prize,"
With that the white wolf jumped and landed in a passing boat. Sly would have followed her but the boat pulled away before he could climb on too. Suddenly the urgent voice of Bentley came over the communicator.
"Fox and her troops are heading this way" said the turtle in fright "we got to scram,"
"You and Maurry go and head back to the safehouse" said Sly " I'll meet you there,"
The link was cut off and Sly instantly took to the rooftops, it was much faster than the streets. But to his disgrace Carmilita and seven of her troops were patrolling the rooftops, she looked plently mad and determined to catch the someone who knocked her out, so when she spotted Sly you can guess what she did.
Inspector Fox's eyes narrowed at the sighting of Sly. The racoon stood about two rooftops away facing the open end of Carmilita's shock pistol. Grabbing out his cane Sly moved to a defensive stance. A roar of thunder split through the sky and rain started pouring down hard. When the lightning flash it seemed like Carmilita's eyes were lighted with an enteral fire for revenge.
"I've been waiting a long time for this Cooper" said Fox " you want a date so bad, well I'm taking you out!"
With that Inspector Fox fired her shock pistol with thin point acerancy. Sly jumped to aviod her blasts and started running in the direction to the safehouse with Carmilita directly on his tail. Blast after blast came after him as soon as he thought one place was safe Sly ran into another one of Carmilita's troops.
Maurry and Bentley were close to the safehouse when the sounds of gunfire reached thier ears. Blue bolts of electrical energy streaked across the thunderous sky.
"Oh no" said Maurry " Sly's in trouble we got to help him,"
"We won't be much help to him if the police catch us to" said Bentley "we got to get to the safehouse,"
"But..." Maurry started to say.
"No 'buts' " said Bentley " Sly has to handle this on his own. We have to find out who that white wolf is or else we won't be able to clear Sly's name from Carmilita's most wanted list,"
Reluctantly agreeing Maurry followed Bentley into the safehouse, leaving Sly on his own. Sly on the other hand found himself completely on the run. There wasn't a good hiding place for miles and what was worse, a river was coming up with no boat in sight.
Slowing down and finally stopping Sly turned around and faced the authorities. Inspector Fox approached with her personal goons behind her.
"After all these years you finally caught me" said Sly " but you've caught the wrong thief,"
"I got you and that's what matters" said Fox " Arrest him men! Sly Cooper will spending a little quality time with us from now on,"
With that chains were placed around Sly Cooper's wrists and his cane was taken away. Soon the racoon found himself forcibly pushed into a jail cell and locked up tight. Inspector Fox's eyes were still glowing with hate. There was no telling what would happen to him now.
