Bentley P.O.V.
It took a sleepless week of data crunching, but we eventually tracked down the location of my friends: locked away in the mysterious towers of Prague. At the moment they're the unwilling guests of Interpol's most renowned prison warden: the Contessa. While still a criminal psychology student, she entered into a whirlwind romance and married a wealthy aristocrat. Sadly, the union was short-lived, as the general "suspiciously" died a few weeks after the ceremony.
The widowed Contessa put her education and newly acquired estate to work, by opening a criminal rehabilitation center. Her pioneering use of hypnotherapy has produced some good results and subsequently earned her a prominent position within Interpol. My friends are locked up somewhere in the clinic, and are slated for the Contessa's "good samaritan" brainwashing. If me, Julius and Carmelita don't bust them out soon, they'll be working a nine-to-five job selling shoes, and I'll be out two best friends!
Regular P.O.V.
Bentley left the hideout. Carmelita and Julius were in the hideout. Carmelita had driven Julius and Bentley in the Cooper Van. She was a pretty good driver. They were in the city of Prague in the Czech Republic. Bentley had decided to eavesdrop on the Contessa using his sleep darts. The sleep darts had some sort of sonar frequency built into them that was able to detect and receive sounds. Bentley headed over to the rendezvous point.
"I should make my way over to the Contessa's house. Maybe I'll pick up a few leads on the location of Sly and Murray." Bentley said to himself. The turtle walked over to the Contessa's prison house. Once he reached the Contessa's house, Bentley took out his binocucom. He saw the spider woman making her rounds in the prison.
"Aha! The Contessa is out making her rounds. Wait a second... the feathers on my sleep darts vibrate near sounds. If I maintain my position on top of this parabolic dish I should be able to hear that frequency at a distance. This is great! If I tag the Contessa with my darts I'll be able to listen in on whatever she says... I might even learn where she's locked up Sly and Murray!" Bentley said.
"Are those sleep darts equipped with advanced sonar technology?" Julius asked Bentley.
"Yes. My sleep darts are equipped with special sonar technology." Bentley said to Julius.
"I thought that the darts were only used for sleeping." Julius said.
"They're more than just sleep darts, Julie." Bentley said.
The turtle used his sleep darts on the Contessa. Every time that the dart hit the spider woman, Bentley would be able to listen in on the Contessa's conversations using the feathers on the sleep darts. Bentley wanted to know what the Contessa had in store for Sly, Murray and Tommy. Bentley aimed his crossbow at the Contessa. He fired it at the Contessa. The dart hit the spider woman flawlessly. The Contessa didn't even know that there was a dart stuck on her.
"The Klaww Gang is falling apart, spice shipments have all but stopped... argh! I never would have joined if I'd known it would be this easy to disrupt the plan. At least the Cooper Gang is under lock and key... their lopsided morality flies in the face of man's inherent selfishness. Ah well... they'll see it my way soon enough." The Contessa said to herself. Bentley moved into another position and fired another sleep dart at the Contessa. When the dart hit the Contessa a second time, she said,
"Those fools at Interpol. They keep sending me criminals and I keep making money. How come no one ever thought of this before? Hypnotize criminals and force them to reveal where they've hidden their fortune... I'm a genius! If only I had more spice to help me with the hypnosis!" The Contessa said again.
Bentley went another position and fired yet another sleep dart at the Contessa. The Contessa was planning to hypnotize the Cooper Gang using spice. Bentley couldn't believe what the Contessa was saying. The third dart hit the spider woman.
"That blasted Cooper Gang. The fat one... what's his name? Murray, yes, Murray, he'll be the first to break. I should spend a few sessions probing that feeble mind, I can only imagine the wealth that gang has accumulated over the years." The Contessa said.
Bentley fired another sleep dart at the Contessa.
"That little mute boy. Tommy I believe his name is. It appears that he has some sort of jaw apparatus. I could just tempt him into hypnosis. I could fill his vision with hallucinations of evil things."
Bentley fired one last sleep dart at the Contessa.
"That Sly Cooper... such a complex and rebellious mind. A month or two in "the hole" should break his spirit. Let him squat there... week after week... he's seen that the guards along the wall all have motion detectors... there is no escape. Slowly the reality of his captivity will set in... and I'll get to work on his mind." The Contessa said. Bentley couldn't believe what he was hearing. The Contessa was attempting to brainwash the Cooper Gang along with Julius's little brother Tommy.
"Inconceivable! She's no health care professional. Why, that's the most heinous crime I've ever heard of! Putting inmates into hypnosis so they'll tell her where they've stashed their loot. It dishonors both law enforcement and thieves at the same time! I should get to work and figure out a way to break Sly out of "the Hole."!" Bentley exclaimed out loud. The turtle headed back toward the hideout. Once at the hideout, Bentley told Julius and Carmelita everything that the Contessa had planned to do with the Cooper Gang. Julius and Carmelita were both shocked and pissed off at the same time. They wanted to free Sly, Murray and Tommy from the Contessa's clutches.
Julius P.O.V.
My first job was to hack into the train terminals that controlled the trains that were patrolling the Contessa's prison. I went over to the first train terminal, where Bentley briefed me on what I had to do.
"Julius, that computer is part of a control system for the electromagnetic train. By hacking all the terminals along the train tracks, you should be able to reverse their polarity... thereby turning the train into a giant projectile. Without question, its impact on the prison walls should create a hole large enough for Sly to escape through." Bentley said to me.
"Wouldn't that kill Sly?" I asked
"Not if the train hits at just the right speed at velocity into the wall of Contessa's prison." Bentley said.
"I see what you're planning to do. You're planning on reversing the polarity of the train so that way they can go super fast to break through the wall, therefore freeing Sly without killing him in the process."
"Yes, Julius."
I hacked into the first train computer terminal. I blasted through the firewalls like they were nothing. It was pretty easy. Once I was done hacking into the first train terminal, I watched as one of the trains slowed it's forward speed and went backwards really fast. It was as if The Flash had somehow harnessed his powers into the train itself. I went to a few other train terminals and hacked them. Pretty soon, all of the trains were moving so fast that it leapt off the tracks and it smashed through the wall of the Contessa's prison. The was a big hole in the wall. It was a success. Now, Sly could easily break through the prison walls.
