Sly Cooper: Family of Thieves

Chapter 11: Jailbreak

After beating up the evil spice lord, evading The Contessa's capture, and returning to the van deep into the Indian jungle, Bentley and I threw ourselves into intense weeks of data crunching. I watched Bentley closely, as I took notes on my journal, so that I could use it later. Eventually, we tracked down the location of our crew: Prague, the mysterious and bone-chilling, capital of the Czech Republic. Thanks to Bentley's intel, we got to know more about the Contessa's origin story: While still a student in Criminal Psychology, she had a whirlwind romance, and married a wealthy aristocratic general.

Unfortunately, a few weeks after the wedding; her unnamed beloved suspiciously passed away, due to poisoning (I have a strong suspicion she might've done it herself, to benefit from her husband's wealth). After the Contessa became a widow, she put her studies and her estate to work; by opening a criminal rehabilitation center, in which the crew may be locked up somewhere.

"Plus, if we don't hurry; we might lose our best friends!" I told Bentley, "How's that crossbow of yours, coming along?"

With the sound of a click, I already had the answer.

"Already charged, Sangue."

But then concern displayed on his face.

"You sure you can handle this?" He asked, "You know we are about to step, into a nightmare."

I said nothing but gave him a reassuring nod. We were ready to move out, for operation Jailbreak!

"Ok, first we need to eavesdrop on the Contessa," I noted, "I have good ear sight, so this should be easy for us."

Bentley nodded; the operation has begun. We started by navigating the estate, apparently there was a lot of buildings and walls to climb on, perfect for my acrobatics. I know Prague was eerie, to say the least, but I was fascinated.

"Sangue, look out!" Bentley exclaimed.

I was quick to head my friend's warning, and took on the foes with my bare hands, and acrobatics. There was nothing they could do but cower in pain.

"Hey Bentley, if you need help with those higher spots, over there; let me know." I said, while giving the bad guys what was coming to them.

The turtle with glasses, felt nothing but butterflies in his stomach, but shrugged it off.

"Oh, yeah, can you give me a lift?"

I smiled at him.

"Comin' at'cha buddy!" I say before scooping him up, while I spread my wings like butter on bread.

While we were on the mission, we took advantage to steal coins, collect bottles, and crack safes. Even though I was enjoying our heist here in Prague, Sly and Murray's absences were felt immensely by the two of us.

"Man, I wish Sly and Murray were here..." I said, audibly, "I wish I didn't fly away."

A sigh came from Bentley's mouth.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, and besides, if you did, I wouldn't see how incredible you are."

He adds:

"Also, Sly never had a partner that can stay hand to hand with him on heists!"

I wanted to hug him on the spot, but the evil Contessa's chuckle stopped me from doing so.

"Roof." I said, before scooping Bentley up, with my arms, and got down on my knees afterwards.

"Alright Bentley, your turn!" I said, deviously queuing him.

Targeting the arachnid prison warden, wasn't easy. If my research in arachnids is correct, she was moving at top speed, but we eventually struck her as her mouth couldn't help but flap. To put it simply, first; she spoke of how she used her hypnotherapy for criminals to reveal where they had the gold, and how Interpol was making money out of it.
