Ch.3: Bentley's Mission

"Alright Maurry" said Bentley "here's the plan, when that white wolf shows up again I'll follow her to see what she's up to. With a little luck we might figure out just who she is,"

"Are you sure you should be doing this?" said Maurry "why can't we just bust Sly out right now?"

"Look" said Bentley "I want Sly back here as much as you do, but if we just bust Sly out we may get captured or get more cops on our tail. And believe me, I don't plan on letting that happen,"

"Well what do I do?" asked Maurry " just sit here?"

"Don't worry" said Bentley "if I get in trouble I'll call you,"

With that Bentley left the protection of the safehouse and into the streets of Paris. Midnight was approaching and cops were still roaming the streets. Reporters surrounded the cop station in order to relay the story about Sly Cooper's capture. A few rooftops away a white wolf stared at the scenery below.

Bentley slowly rolled into position to get a better look. It was the same white wolf that got Sly in trouble, her ruby mask and pure white fur glowed in the moonlight. After standing around for a minute or so she walked off the roof and into the streets, Bentley followed her closely.

The white wolf walked for a few blocks and stopped near the river, her vouce could be heard when she was talking over her com link.

"I'm closer than ever to that treasure now" she said "the key will soon be in my grasp. Those Cooper's made quite a haul throughout the years and for the first time in years one got caught...,"

Before she could say more a voice called out from what seemed to be nowhere. It said " How ya doing Luna?"

The white wolf, Luna, turned around to see the purple form of Dimitri approach her. Bentley almost gasped when he saw Dimitri, what was he doing here? Luna was apparently wondering the same thing.

"What are you doing here Dimitri?" she asked.

"Just hanging around" he said "sorry if I interrupted your conversation with your boss, but I've seen better days for your gang,"

"What do you mean?" said Luna "you were there the day Sly's family was killed by our gang. In fact you're the one that saved him,"

"What!" said Bentley almost out loud " Dimitri saved Sly's life, that's impossible!"

" I know" said Dimitri in response to Luna " you called yourself 'Blood Moon' at the time of the attack and I was the ever fashionable 'Dark Lizard', I regret at ever joining your gang in the first place,"

"Dimitri was part of the gang that killed Sly's parent's?" thought Bentley " I got to get this information to Sly quick. Looks like Maurry is going to get his wish, tonight were breaking Sly out,"

Bentley rolled down the streets back to the safehouse and informed Maurry on what he had heard. Maurry was all to ready for action as Bentley layed out the plan for the break in. Meanwhile, Sly was just sitting around in his cell with two guards posted at the door just in case he tried to escape.

Suddenly Sly felt his com link come on, the police must of missed it when they searched him earlier. Bentley was on the line, to prevent being heard the two spoke in low tones over the line.

" Listen Sly" said Bentley " the white wolf's name is Luna, she's part of the gang that killed your parents years ago. I think she's trying to get into the Cooper Vault,"

"What!" said Sly, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"If you think that's shocking listen to this" said Bentley "Dimitri was actually part of the gang that killed your parents. He's the one who saved you from that attack,"

Sly's eyes glowed with furiousity. He and Dimitri were arch rivals and didn't like each other very much. But, now finding out that Dimitri was part of the gang that killed his parents, you can just say that the rivalary just got a little bit worse.

Bentley quickly explianed his plan for the jail break and Sly quickly refused to be released. Bentley was shocked and asked Sly to explian.

"I have a feeling that if this Luna wants my cane to open the vault she'll probally come tonight to steal it" said Sly "when she does I'll make my escape and meet you two at the safehouse. We can worry about Dimitri later,"

Bentley agreed to Sly's plan and the com link was cut off. Slowly Sly stared up at the ceiling above him waiting for the right time to strike and for his oppenent to come.
