"Damn it is even bigger closer up." Sly said. Neyla nodded before the two thieves descended on to the water and boarded a small boat; they made their way over to the ship. The two climbed a rope hanging off the side of the massive ship and made their way up to the deck and hid in some bushes once they were steeled Neyla quietly asked.

"So where do we start first?" She asked Sly. Sly thought about it for a moment before he pulled out his head gear and looked around before he pointed to a tunnel.

"I think we need to get in there but first we need more treasure keys. You up for it luv?" sly asked challengingly causing Neyla to grin at him. The two headed into the room with the lily pad symbol on it, evading the flashlight guard, the two made it into a room Neyla gasp.

"Oh my god sly there must be millions worth of treasure in here. Unfortunately that also means tighter security." She said uneasily to Sly nodded.

"Maybe but where's the fun in an easy highest besides if it was as easy as that than I think you might be losing your touch." Sly said teasingly to Neyla who pouted and poked him in the ribs. "Do you think any of this is worth grabbing?" sly asked her as an afterthought motioning to the objects around them. She nodded with a grin before pulling off her back pack and walking over to a display case and cracking it open with her whip and emptying it. Sly did the same; once they were done filling their bags they continued on. They found more clue bottles which got Sly excited as it potently met a new page in the Thievius raccoons. They went into a room and found a laser grid set up along a path they knelt and started to make a plan. Once they had their plan figured out they both moved forward; Sly went first and dashed to the right making the laser target him. Neyla quickly ran to the left and jumped over the slight incline and smashed the alarm disabling the security. Sly smirked before he held up some more pages of a puzzle that made Neyla smile lightly. Before they turned their heads and saw two walruses slinking about a few feet away from them.

"You take the one on the right I will that the one on the left?" Sly said to her. She nodded before they went about their jobs; once they were done they hopped across the lily pads and got to the other side. Sly grabbed the other clue bottles that he could before they walked to a small podium and got a new key. Sly asked Neyla if they could go back and find that vault. She nodded her head and the two back tracked. It did not take them long to find the vault. Neyla sat cross legged biting her tongue gently in thought as she started to digest the clues. She snapped her fingers before she leaned forward and began to try a few different combos. Finally one worked and the safe opened. Neyla reached in and took the new page out and read it out loud.

"This is sally cooper's fast getaway raccoon roll it says here that whoever learns it can move faster than anyone on the run." Neyla said to Sly; sly nodded before he took the page and gently put it in his pack.
