Sly Cooper Gang Returns
Chapter 3
Bentley's Motel 7:00
Somehow Bentley managed to sleep in that night.
In the fresh morning Bentley started packing some things Penelope hadn't. He opened a drawer from his desk and took out the Thievius Racoonus. He had so much memory's from it, since the day the gang started looking for the pages the Fiendiesh Five had stolen (sorry if miss spelled) to the day Sly supposedly died after the fight against Dr. M.
He also took out the Cooper cane and thought:
"Even though he isn't a thief anymore and doesn't remember anything from his past, I think I should give him his cane."
He put those objects in his bag and told his wife and his son they were going to leave.
"But why do we have to leave, we're always changing our house, I'm getting sick of it" said Edward
"We're going to visit an old friend of Dad's." Said Penelope
"Mom, Dad, we're always changing house and you always give excuses, I start to think you're hiding something from me."
"Penelope, I think it's time." said Bentley
"But now?" she answers.
"It's okay, the plane only leaves in 2 hours."
"What are you talking about?" asked Edward
"Son, I think you better sit down." said Bentley
Everyone sits on the couch and Bentley slowly starts telling his and Penelope's Story. How they met at ThiefNet and how Bentley found out she was the Black Baron… everything.
"I can't believe you guys hid this from me the whole time."
"You weren't ready yet, the reason we always change house is because we can't stay in the same place for too much time or else the police will catch us."
"And you're saying this Sly is supposed to be dead but is not. He just lost his memory?"
"Yes." said Bentley
"Well if he is so important for you then he is also important for me."
"Thanks son." said Bentley "Let's hurry to the Airport or we'll miss the plane."
"Sure." said Edward
New York Airport 12:00
Bentley and his family arrived after a 4 hours flight. Bentley had told Penelope about the E-mail in the plane.
He was now looking for someone that could be waiting for him, who could this person be and what did he or she want to steal? It was all mystery waiting to be solved.
Since he didn't see anyone he started heading to the airport's door when he hears a voice:
"Bentley, it took you long enough."
Bentley turns around and sees a shady character covered with robes.
"So you're the one who sent me that E-mail?" asked Bentley
"Yes" *starts removing his robes* "My name is Leon."
When Leon removed the robes they revealed a strong-looking male leopard. He seemed to hold 2 pistols in his belt.
"This is no place to talk, can we go to somewhere more quiet?" said Leon
"Of course, we can rent a room in a hotel, we'll chat there "said Bentley
Hotel room 14:00
Bentley took Leon to a hotel room so they could speak properly.
"So, Leon, how about you start telling us about your story?" says Bentley
"Alright then." said Leon
Leon, Bentley and his family sit on the couch and Leon starts telling his story:
"I was born in a family of great thieves, not as good as the Cooper, but still pretty good. I was trained my whole life to be an elite thief, and soon I was going to make my first crime. When the day came I don't know what happened, but I just couldn't do it, I had a really bad feeling about it. My dad told me that feeling would vanish when I stole the paintings from The Museum in Italy. In the robbery day my father and I entered the museum through the ventilation system, we were getting near the paintings when we saw a light: «Hide» - Said my father. At that moment two guards appeared with weapons, my father stood up and shot his two pistols. The pistols containing a powerful laser knocked the guards out. But when my father and I got up to steal the paintings I had a flash-forward. I saw him getting hit by one of the guards, who were still on the ground. I shouted: « Dad, watch out! » But it was no use, my father got killed by that guard. I was in such an anger that I felt ready to explode. I grabbed my dad's pistols and shot them at the guards until I realized they were dead."
"What did you do after that? " asked Edward
"I didn't do anything, I was alone in the world, my mom had died of an incurable illness and the only familiars I had were in other countries. For days I walked through the streets without anything to eat. I decided it was time to put my training to the test. I successfully managed to steel from restaurants and that's how I keep living. But back to the story: I kept having flash-forwards and you won't believe what they showed me. Amazing things I never knew that were going to happen before. In one of those visions I saw both you and I steeling something, although I couldn't quite figure out what it was."
"And that's why I need you to help me." says Leon
"Yes, but, if you don't know what it is, how are we going to find it, I mean, where do we look in the first place?" said Bentley
"I believe that I will remember it, I have flash-forwards nearly every day, I will eventually remember where the place is."
"So will you help me or not?" asked Leon.
"I'll help you with one condition. You must help me find my friend Sly Cooper. He should be in the New York Interpol working as Carmelita Fox's Assistant."
"But wasn't he a thief, why is he working with the police forces?" asked Leon
"Apparently he has lost his memory and was alone with Carmelita when he lost it, so she must have taken advantage of it."
"In these days you can't trust a cop, can you?" says Leon
"Well anyway, this is not time to talk about that. Come and meet me here at 22:00. I'll explain the plan and we'll head for the police headquarters at 23:00. Penelope! Edward! I'm also going to need you in this mission."
" Right " They answered.
Hotel Room 21:30
Bentley had been working on the plans to enter Interpol without being noticed. He was now sitting on the small metal bed of the hotel room they had rented. He lay down which made the rusty bed make a really annoying noise, and he started thinking of Sly, how would he look, would he still be the same friendly raccoon? All this made Bentley wonder about his past. In so many lost memories he didn't even notice Leon was already in the room.
"Bentley!" said Leon
"Wh-What. Oh you're here already. Let's go to the dining table so I can explain the plan."
Bentley, Leon, Penelope and Edward went to the dining table. On top of the table was a paper that seemed to contain the plant of the New York Interpol Police. There were various lines marked in the big paper, some brown lines crossed in the middle of the map. A little below the point where the lines crossed it was written: Inspector Carmelita's Office.
"So" said Bentley "as you must have already noticed this is a plant of the Police Headquarters.
"You see these red lines" said Bentley while pointing at the lines "they are the course me and Leon are going to make. As you can see half of the course is inside these brown lines, they are the ventilation system. I and Leon will enter the air ducts and we'll fall right in the middle of Carmelita's office. But first we'll need to get rid of the guards. That's where you come in Penelope. There should be two guards guarding the main door. All you have to do is use your Helicopter to shoot at one of them, they will think it was the other guard that hit him and they'll start a fight. With the noise Inspector Carmelita will come to see what's happening and then I and Leon will already be with Sly.
"But what if Sly comes outside with her?" asked Edward
"That's where you come in. You'll go inside the building and ask for help, you'll have to look desperate and act like a maniac, that way they won't suspect if you keep moving around the Headquarters. While you're moving around you lock Sly's office and he won't be able to get out. Then me and Leon will unlock the office and enter to speak with sly.
"But don't you need a key to lock the office?" asked Edward
"No" said Bentley" I hacked into the camera videos and to lock the doors you only have to spin a trigger.
"But can't it be opened by inside?" asks Edward
"Yes but you need a key and doesn't matter if he lost his memory or not, I know Sly for enough time to know that he doesn't have the key inside his office."
"Alright then let's head for Interpol." said Leon
"Yes" (everyone)
