Sly Cooper: Family of Thieves

Chapter 36: Sweet Tooth

As the gang continued their preparations for the imminent confrontation with Toothpick, Tennessee Kid Cooper approached Sangue with a determined glint in his eyes.

"It's a good thing you've been trainin' to stop Toothpick, cuz I'm thinking of knocking out his fillings myself," Tennessee declared, his hand resting on the hilt of his trusty revolver.

Sangue grinned, appreciating Tennessee's fiery spirit. "I like the enthusiasm, Tennessee, but let's stick to the plan. We'll take him down together."

Tennessee nodded, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. "Fair enough. Just wanted to let him know he's got a one-way ticket to a world of hurt."

Sangue chuckled, understanding the cowboy's sentiment. "Speaking of plans, did you know my ancestor Katherine was a school teacher back in the day?"

Tennessee raised an eyebrow. "A school teacher, huh? That's a bit unexpected."

Sangue explained, "Yep, but she wasn't your typical teacher. She had a knack for making spiced strawberries. Apparently, she used to treat her students with those after a successful day of rebel lessons."

Tennessee grinned. "Well, ain't that a sweet twist. Never would've guessed a teacher could be so sneaky."

Sangue laughed. "That's the Moondark spirit, always finding a way to mix sweetness with rebellion."

As the gang geared up for the showdown with Toothpick, Sangue's revelation about Katherine's dual roles added a touch of humor to the serious task at hand. The Wild West awaited, and with the combined skills of the Cooper Gang and the fiery determination of Tennessee Kid Cooper, the stage was set for a showdown that would resonate through the annals of time. The whispers of the Wild West carried the promise of justice, rebellion, and the indomitable spirit of the Moondark Clan.
