The Canine Gang
Chapter Two - A Few New Complications

Cooper's hackles raised at the smugness of the voices behind him, he whipped around his tail lashing from side to side due to his agitation. Cooper gave the duo a quick once over, they were both huskies there was no doubt about that. The two strangers were dressed in plain black bodysuit, Cooper could only silently chuckle at their lack of style. Cooper found the two looked almost identical with the exception of the male being as tall as himself while the female was only shorter by a couple inches. Also the female had shoulder length black hair while the male's was spiked in a similar fashion to Cooper's (when he wasn't wearing his hat) It was difficult to make out their features due to the lack of lighting, but it was quite easy to tell they were not just the same species. They were defiantly related.

"So, Sly Cooper what are you doing here this fine evening?" the female asked sarcastically, "Couldn't be here to steal this little rock here could it?"

She boasted as she held up the precise diamond Cooper had broken into the museum for. Cooper's jaw tightened at her remarks, just did these two think who they were?
"Since the two of you already seem to know who i am it is only fair that i should your know your names" Sly said as politely as he could but he still seemed to spit the words at them.

Lucas the male husky smiled quite widely when he saw how agitated his sister was making Sly but he decided to defuse the situation before the raccoon did something irrational
, "Of course Mr. Cooper" Lucas smiled widely showing off his very white and quite sharp teeth "Allow me to formally introduce myself and my sister; Lucas and Casey De La Ronde, or simply The Canine Gang at your service"

Cooper made a mental note to remember that so he could have Bentley do some research on these two new players."So you two plan on telling me why of all nights you come here tonight?"Cooper asked calmly, he was simply stalling waiting for the inevitable to happen, it cant be too much longer now he thought.

"I would be happy to oblige Monsieur Cooper, we are simply to prove the point that you are not the only thief in this town."

Casey laughed as she stepped closer to Sly and he could see why she had such and over-inflated ego. The woman was stunning, the way the black patterns surrounded her white face, it gave her a much more defined look, and the skin tight black body suit did not leave much to the imagination. Now at one point and time he would have jumped on the opportunity to flirt with the voluptuous canine, but instead of the usual playfulness in his eyes there was only exhaustion and sadness. Times up he thought.

Casey looked at the infamous raccoon and she was thoroughly disappointed, she had heard stories on what a charmer he could be and had wanted to see first hand. She walked up to the raccoon, just as she was about to rub it in his face a little more when there was a flash of blue from outside and she heard the crash of a window breaking. Casey and Lucas turned to look at what had caused the window to break and found themselves looking at someone who was just as famous in the thieving world as Sly. Although there was a slight difference, instead of being an idol for them to envy or admire she was only feared for she was the only officer at Interpol to achieve a 99 percent arrest record. The newcomer was non other then Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox.

"Freeze criminals, the lot of you are going to jail!"

The reaction of the siblings was identical the both simply whispered "Oh... shit" they quickly glanced at one another the noticed they were missing a certain raccoon. The realization hit them like a hammer, they had just been caught red handed on their first big heist, in a heavily guarded museum, by Interpol's most dangerous Inspector. Lucas mentally slapped himself for letting Casey spend so much time trying to get a rise out of the Master thief. Lucas then grabbed his sister by the waist and pulled out what seemed to be a large pistol and shot it at one of the skylights, the grappling hook latched onto the roof and quickly pulled the thieves to safety. Sly chuckled to himself at the two young thieves from his hiding sopt on top of the chandelier,
"Where is the fun in that?" he whispered

Sly was about to make his escape when he heard a very beautiful vixen loudly exclaim "¡CINGA LOS DOS!" Cooper's jaw dropped at this, he knew there was something wrong for he had never heard Carmelita use such language before. Sly noticed how tired she looked, and she began to do something else he had never seen her do before either. She began to cry, quietly but loud enough for him to hear "Damn you Ringtail" she choked out in between sobs. Sly felt a new kind of guilt hit him. It had been more then a month since she had seen him an the mere possibility that he could have been there had reduced Carmelita to this. He almost jumped down to comfort his love but as quickly as she started to cry she got her emotions in check and called into Interpol.
"Main suspects fleeing the scene of the crime on foot, check rooftops, i'm in pursuit... negative no sign of Cooper... yes sir Inspector Fox out"
She let out a tired sigh and ran out of the museum in the direction Lucas and Casey ran off in.

Cooper watched her go and made his way back to the safe house, this heist had him every riled up all he wanted to do was get into bed and sleep. He informed Bentley on this new "Canine Gang". Sly asked him to figure out who these two were and how they knew exactly what they had to steal and when to do it just in time to catch Sly there himself. Bentley quickly when to work typing like a madman, Cooper smiled at his friend's determined look. He knew Bentley would have all the information know about the Huskies by tomorrow night. Sly went up to his room and quietly cursed when he saw the sun peaking over the Parisian rooftops, he closed his curtains and threw himself on his bed burying his face in his pillow thinking on what had just happened.

It irked Sly that two beginners could have beaten him at his own game, his families game. He then laughed out loud, maybe come competition would be a good thing. Just to keep him on his toes. He thought about the two husky, he never did get too good of a look at Lucas, but he wouldn't forget Casey's face anytime soon. He repainted her face in his mind but it slowly stared to changed and had found himself yet again thinking about his vixen, no not his vixen anymore. Sly could still feel her arms wrapped around his shoulders, her muzzle in the crook of his neck and the alluring scent of her ebony hair. He sighed remembering all those nights when they would sleep together just to be close to one another, but he lost all that and he couldn't ever get it back. The raccoon rolled over and thought to himself as an idea formed, but it was crazy! Sly didn't know when he was planning to do it but he knew exactly what he was going to do. The devious raccoon smiled happy with what he planned, this could bite me in the ass but in all honesty, Fuck it. Its worth a shot.


A/N NOT IMPORTANT just how i thought of the Casey and Lucas characters. I work at an animal shelter and about 4 months ago two huskies were brought in from a native reserve up north, so they were caught and brought to us. I was working that night and i named them, you guessed it Casey and Lucas. These two have been a bigger pain in my ass the any other dog that has ever been there, the amount of times they have jumped, dug or gotten off of leashes is unbelievable. I have had to drive around our town for hours to find them but they always come running and hop right into my truck when i do find them, its like they do it just to prove that they can! Anyway i'm just going to say i am trying to make these characters have the same kind of attitude as the dogs that they are. I don't know why i typed this but if someone wanted to know how i got the idea there ya go :p
