3rd POV

Sly, Bob and Henriette enter the Japanese styled house of Sakamoto Peacock. Sly takes the lead and look around the corner to see after any security.

''Cameras everywhere... All pointing to the ground.'' Inform Sly quietly and look at the other two.

''Then we must seek for higher ground.'' Suggest Henriette and jump right away and crawl on a tree pole to the cellar. Sly and Bob follow suit. Both Henrietta and Sly use some hooks that are on the tree poles, while Bob crawl like a spider. They get across the main room and to hallway. Henrietta is in the lead and spot shadows nearing them. The three run into an open door, where there is no one in, and close the door slightly. They hear the clicking of some kind of metal hitting the wooden floor.

''Is the next shipment ready for my... Prime client?'' Ask a strong formal voice, as they near the door. Sly is smart enough to tell Bob to stay quite. Henriette pull out her binocucom to take a picture. Bentley thought the ancestors how to use it. Two animals stops in front of the door and Henriette see a red panda and a peacock.

''The metal is in boxes and ready for pick up.'' Inform the red panda and read up from some papers.

''Perfect. And any news about the missing 'human' girl?'' Ask the peacock, Sakamoto. The red panda read the paper and shake his head. Sakamoto keep calm and nodded. ''Luckily isn't she our main job... But she would give extra money if we capture her... And the news about Fennik-san just reached us.''

''S-So maybe the Cooper gang is coming over here to stop you and has the girl with them.'' Point out the red panda and lift his glasses back in place. ''You are smart, Sakamoto-sama, and will defiantly find a way to trick them and snatch the girl to earn that bonus from Mirage-san.''

''True.'' Agree Sakamoto and start walking again, but back to the way he came from. ''Make sure the shipping is ready and do not disturb me. I am gonna find a way to get the human girl.''

''Understood.'' Says the red panda and walk the other way. Sly find that info very worrying. He take out his own binocucom to contact Bentley.

''Bentley, we have a problem.'' Start Sly and carefully look out of the room to see if there is any body.

''What is it?'' Ask Bentley back.

''Sakamoto is making a plan to get (Y/N). Apparently Mirage made a bonus request to her partners and it involve capturing (Y/N) and bring her to Mirage.'' Inform Sly and signal for the other two that the coast is clear.

''I will warn her then.'' Inform Bentley back, before ending the call. The three Cooper went the same way as Sakamoto, in hope he will walk to his office. Sly and Henriette stays in the shadow spying on him, while Bob is climbing on the roof to stay unnoticed. Sakamoto enter though a slide door and stay inside for about five minutes, before getting out with papers in his hands. Sakamoto then turn to walk towards the group, so Sly quickly hide inside a vase and Henriette jump up, hooking to a ceiling pole for hiding, while Bob stay hidden at the roof. When the cost is clear, do they move out of hiding and inside to the office.

''Nice joint.'' Complimented Sly when he see the luxurious office.

''This Sakamoto guy may not notice a thing or two is missing.'' Says Henriette and is itching to take some of the stuff.

''Don't think about it.'' Warn Sly and clearly see an item sensor. Move it or touch it, and the alarm will start. Sly notice a computer and place one of Bentley's hacker device on it. ''Bentley, I got you an office computer.''

''That would defiantly have some information that we need to shut this place down.'' Says Bentley and went to work. While he is hacking, look Sly at a big family painting behind the office. Sly tjek the frame for sensor and see nothing, so he remove it carefully. Behind it is there a vault, which Sly smirk at.

''Let's see what is behind this door?'' Joke Sly and lean his ears to the door to listen for the right combo as he turn the knob. When he hear the satisfying click, indicating that the vault is now open. Sly open it and see some rolled blueprints paper, money and a notebook. ''A notebook and blueprints? Bentley will love these.''

''Baba bi blua.'' Says Bob to Sly, making him look at the door.

''Someone it coming. And there ain't good hiding spots.'' Says Henriette low and look around in the office for a good hiding spot, but can't find any. Sly look up and see a vent.

''Henriette, use the vent and make some sounds somewhere to distract them.'' Order Sly with a plan. Henriette nodded and jump up into the vent. Sly look at Bob and signal him to stay quite. The noises gets louder and soon stands in front of the office. One of them is Sakamoto.

''I hear you, Mirage-sama. The new shipment is ready to be send to Romania.'' Promise Sakamoto, clearly on a phone with the enemy. ''No, there is no sign of the girl... I understand that she is important to you... Don't worry. The Cooper family won't get away with her this time.''

''Sly, I have hacked the computer, quickly remove it.'' Inform Bentley and Sly quickly takes the hacking device. The sliding door starts to open, so Sly and Bob move to the wall to stay hidden more. Sakamoto only managed to open the slide door half, when there something breaking down the hallway. That made the peacock stop opening the door and went to investigate. One minute after, return Henriette.

''Let's get out of here before the birdy return.'' Says Henriette and land smoothly on the ground beside Sly. He nodded and lead the way out. They make it out safety, and escape with Otto and Junior.
