Chapter 1

A thief?

The hot blazing sun was make is fur soaked in sweat, he needed to find water soon. Sly walked around the construction site to see people craving stone and moving large blocks. Some of the people were staring at him as he moved across the site. One of the men in a tent was very interested. Sly walked towards one of the workers and asked if he could have some water. The worker just stared and went back to work. One of the guard went towards Sly and surround him. Sly felt uneasy as they came closer, and closer to him.

"Come with me." One of the guards said as they walked to tent with Sly in between the five of them. They got to the tent and the guard let Sly inside and stands out side. The tent had a small table with a map layout, that looked like a blueprint. The three men at the tent stopped talking when they got close and looked strangely.

"You, stranger." The person in the middle ordered. "What is your business is this barin land."

"I am travelling through. I was just enjoying the scenery, does anyone have any water, or a change of clothing. What are you guys doing?" Sly asked.

"Young sir, please understand that this structure is going to be a making of the miracle. The Pharaoh want to create a loin with the head of himself. We been working for many years and it will soon to be complete but we have had some... problems." The man said looking at the blueprints. "I am head adviser of the project. These are my planers and care takes of this operation. Are problems have been small but has been strange. Someone has been taking away our supply's and tools from around the town. There has also been an increase of thieving is the past few months." The adviser said a little worried. "We have been trying to hunt him down but there has been no sign, he needs to be locked up for his crimes. Here you are over heating let me get you a pair of cloths and some water." He left the tent and came back with a light skirt, and some sandals.

"Thank you and I think I could help." Sly finished when he heard something from behind the tent. Everyone went out and Sly quickly got changed into the outfit before leaving to go outside. He saw a small cat sitting on a thrown pulled by horses. Everyone was bowing in return.

"Pharaoh, we have a guess." The adviser said. "He has come from a different land and has heard of our problem. He believes he can help."

The Pharaoh stared down at Sly. "Young man, what do you believe, you can do to catch this thief." He said in a harsh tone.

"Pharaoh, I am a humble traveller, but I do take odd jobs for my speciality's." Sly said is a calm voice.

"Speciality's?"

"Yes, I am an very good at finding and catching thefts in many city's across the world. Even some that are almost invisible." Sly said in a business tone.

The Pharaoh eyes widen as he thought about what Sly was saying. "Then do what you want for your services?"

Sly looks around and says, "I think two bags of gold should be fine."

"Deal! But first take this seal so you have no trouble with the priest or the head guards." The Pharaoh said happily as he gave him the seal and ordered his guards to go back to the palace.

The adviser looked at him in amazement, and was surprised that the Pharaoh took up that offer so fast but he knew that there was many problems and they need to be taken care of. He took a bottle of water and a small camel and gave it to Sly. "Here take this, it will help you to the city and find that thief." He said with confidence, as he walked away and went back into the tent.

Sly looking at his things, he climbed on top of the camel, trying turning the large animal to head towards the city. The creature gunted but obeyed as they start to head. Being unsure of his where he was going and how he was going to find the theif, he relaxed under the sun and the mototion bought him to sleep after a long day.

Off to town.
