I was doing awesome, I shot down several planes looking for the baron's plane. When I finally located it, I was attacking it nonstop.
Blast! This plane is no good! Perhaps it is time for an upgrade. Blimps! Attack the Cooper plane! The Baron said.
Sorry bud, but nobody hurts my raccoon! Avery yelled, and windmill blades destroyed the blimp. I then joined the Baron on the wing of his plane.
"Well Cooper, we fight like men. Have at you!" He yelled, attacking me. I quickly dodged it, but he was quick. I had to avoid him and then hit him on the back. I did just that, The black Baron losing quickly. We landed on the ground, and the Baron revealed himself as Penolope.
"H-hey guys." She said.
"Hey." Avery said, walking up wwith the rest of the team. They looked at each other, and I could tell something was going on between those two... But that was quickly put away as I was named the ACES competition winner.
Glad that this mess was over, we had dinner at Penelope's castle, and even got a personal tour of Holland on a plane. Avery was fine on the ground. Her loss though. We went back to Paris, to plan out our next move.

Cooper safehouse, Paris
I sat in my room, overlooking the book to see if it had any more references to the Miller Ruby. There was one in Hikari Miller's section, but she said she lost it to Riochi Cooper. Then the book states that the Ruby was passed through both of the Cooper and Miller lines until my father wrote-
The Ruby is in safe hands; a friend is holding it for me until my youngest daughter, Elizabeth, is 19 years of age. The Klaww gang is after her, because only she can activate it. I wish the best of luck to her when she wishes to find it.
"Hey, Avery?" Bentley asked through my door.
"Yeah?" I asked in return, opening the door.
"Meeting's in five minutes." He said, heading out. I nodded, and then sly joined me.
"Sup, Cooper?"
"Find anything?"
"Nope. All just references to your family stealing from mine and their hatred/respect for each other."
"Oh. I see."
"Yeah... Let's go see what the turtle wants." I said, heading downstairs.
"Okay gang, to get into the Cooper vault, We will need a demolition expert."
"Yeah, even my knowledge isn't that great. What're we going to do?" I asked.
"An old enemy of sly's meets our needs. "
"Who is it?" Penople asked.
"Panda King."
"No way. Bentley, he killed my parents! " Sly exclaimed.
"That's a issue." I noted, crossing my arms and leaned against the wall. Sly shook his head, leaving.
"Besides Sly, who thinks that the panda King is a good addition?"
"Bents, just think about ringtail. Let me speak to him." I said, walking to where sly was; the lake in front of the Eiffel tower. He was staring into the water, leaning against the railing. I joined him. We just sat there, not talking.
"Hey Avery?" Sly asked after awhile.
"Yea?" I asked in return.
"If Neyla was still alive, would you forgive her?"
"It depends. I need to know why she killed our parents. But I can't. She was evil, and needed to be stopped. Bents told me the story of how the fiendish five killed your parents and you fought them to get your book back. I know it'll be hard to find peace in between you two. But for the sake of the job, find it." I said, leaving him to his thoughts.

I layed in my bed, staring at the assassin's Guide. No matter how many times I've read it, I couldn't quite find the section on the Miller's Ruby. Felix Miller's section mentioned it once, it read:
-The time has come! I have just achieved creating the time Ruby! It allows the user to travel to any time. But the person has to be specific! It does not work for me for some trick of fate. But I will save it for Millers to come. Those who are reading this: fate is tricky! And destiny is even trickier. My friend, Henriette Cooper, once told me that our fates were intertwined. The old bat is crazy! But no matter.
The rest was about how he stole from the king of France or something. But the thing about fate... That was interesting. I went downstairs, our new "aly" was no where to be found.
"Hey bents?" I asked, walking to him. He was typing away.
"Hmm?" He asked in return.
"Where is the panda King?"
"Next door. Where else?"
"Oh. Got any jobs for me?" I asked.
"Maybe... You can recon the area."
"Kay. Anything to get out of this stuffy house!" I exclaimed, grabbing my backpack and heading out. I stuck to the rooftops, until I saw a familiar face. He turned around, And it was...
"Liam?"
