The first thing I notice is that the animation got worse. Then I see a silver raccoon, followed by a hippo and a turtle, all wear clothes and had gadgets of their own. They were running on buildings in a town, but I couldn't tell which one. Then the area changed to a museum, with the raccoon sliding down a rope, breaking into it. He jumped onto the floor stealthily, crouching down and lying as low as possible but still being able to creep around. He brought out some funny looking binoculars, and then the voices started.

"Breaker Alpha Foxtrot this is the Wizard, do you read me Sitting Duck?" The turtle asked the raccoon, and I didn't care if he heard me I burst out laughing.

"This is Peking Duck, I hear you Blizzard." The raccoon answered back, but I kept a hand over my mouth to keep me from laughing.

"No Sly, I'm "the Wizard" and you're "Sitting Duck." He corrected, but I really doubted the raccoon cared. But now I knew the game, and that got me even more ecstatic.

Sly 2.

"I read you loud and clear Lizard." He said back, smirking.

"No, I'm… forget it, you're not taking this seriously." He stated, shaking his head.

"Yeah, I'm not. Look Bentley I know this is your first time out in the field but you've got to loosen up. If we're going to get to those Clockwork parts I need you on your toes. So in plain talk what's your status?" He asked, getting serious in the work.

"Well, I've established myself in the basement and I'm pretty sure I can rewire the service elevator if you can power it up from that security station."

"Hang tough pal, it might take some time, but I'll figure out a way to get up there." Sly told him and they exited out of their binoculars and had their eyes set above us. So he began running around, and I followed him wherever he went. He jumped on something that acted like trampoline and I followed him, and he landed on the dinosaur bones above me. So yeah, I did what any gamer would do. I followed him.

We ran along the top that overlooked the museum, and I saw multiple spotlights and lasers in the ceiling and dotting the floor, and this place was rigged. Majorly rigged. So we hopped down the dinosaur and onto the second floor, flipping a switch that controlled the elevator. Up came the turtle with his gadgets of secrecy that would help with the break-in. Bentley hacked the computer and killed the lasers, spotlights and everything else.

"Presto, all clear." Bentley told Sly, nodding his head confidently.

"Thanks pal. For your first time out, you did pretty well." He complimented, but Bentley just looked back at the computer.

"Oh this operation is far from complete. Now that the lasers and spotlights are offline Murray should be moving into position for your rendezvous. I'll stay here and provide computer support while you go on ahead."

With that, Sly was off. I waved to Bentley, who looked at me oddly but didn't say anything. So I had to find Sly as I ran off too. He was only down the hall, breaking chairs, plants, and whatever he could to get some coins. He'd be looking at pictures, debating if he wanted to steal some, but then he'd go and destroy some more things. The intercom would click on every once and a while and warn about some break-in, but it never phased him. Soon I recognized it was just Bentley.

"Oh Bentley…" I trailed as Sly ran off again, and I followed him. He ran outside of the museum, flipping on the binocular cam for Bentley again.

"According to my information, the Clockwork parts are being stored up there… now to get access you're going to have to meet up with Murray at the rendezvous point… unfortunately the route through the garden is filled with guards." He started, and I looked over where the garden stood.

"Hell yeah!" I exclaimed, running to the edge of the building. "I finally get to fight something!"

"Uh, who are you?" Sly asked, holding his yellow hooked cane about two inches from my face. "And how did you even get here?"

"I've been with you the whole time!" I exclaimed, but I felt the cold steel on my face as he circled me, edging the cane closer to me. "Come on, Sly!"

"You can't fight. You have no weapon." He stated, but I shot him a glare. "A raccoon with no weapon."

"I'm no-" But then I stopped. It could be the same thing that happened with Ratchet or Mickey, I could've changed into whatever. I spin in a circle and I saw the poufy striped tail, and I knew it was true. How I keep being oblivious to tails is really starting to worry me…

"Go home. It's not safe here." He ordered, and went back to his conversation with Bentley. "No problem, I'll just take the long way around."

"If memory serves, you need to jump and balance on the ropes to run along them." And then the binoculars were gone, but I took off down the rope before Sly could. The city was dangerous, and I could see the trucks and cars that could kill me if I fell. But this was Sly. I wasn't going to. Running around the buildings felt so amazing and I laughed when the birds would fly away, but I had to keep running cause Sly was right behind.

We made our way to another building, and now starting to break more things for the coins. Then I heard some pounding, and then the broken glass, making me shriek and jump aside as the hippo came crashing down. but the hippo stood up and made his grand entrance.

"Greetings citizen. I hope you weren't harmed by my meteoropic entrance." The hippo said while I stood up, brushing myself off.

"Yeah, might wanna work on that." I suggested, but sly continued the talking.

"No Murray, I kept a safe distance." He informed as I shot him a glare.

"Good, good… the Thunder Flop knows neither friend nor foe, only destruction." Murray stated as I finally gained my balance.

"Yeah, could you maybe channel some of that "raw energy" into the security gate?" Sly asked, pointing behind Murray and over to the doorway.

"Of course, it is nothing before "The Murray." He stated and ran over to it, lifting the gate for Sly and I to sneak through. Of course, the first thing he does is go around and destroy stuff, getting even more coins.

"I thought you had an objective." I said annoyingly as he picked up the coins.

"I'm a thief." He said simply and kept moving. I shrugged and went with him. I couldn't really do much else. He made his way to another rope, and Murray dropped the gate and came over to where we were.

"Another barrier stands before you… fear not, I shall bend it like the truth." He said as I reached for the remote around my wrist. I couldn't take it anymore, this guy was just too annoying.

"Well, since you haven't fought anything yet and you're just too annoying, I think I really must dash." I said in my best British accent, which was the exact opposite of Murray's. "So, yeah, I'm out of here." I stated and hit next. I could hit one more game before morning. So because of my no tolerance to annoyance, I got the Hell out of Sly.
