Sly Cooper X OC (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1 - Mysterious Jewel Thief

Paris, France.

A sudden disappearances of jewels have crossed the world, only from museums and thieves though. Most incidences are now located in Paris France. Before the most threatening thieves around the world have had sudden break ins, and the only thing taken is only ever one jewel, usually the most expensive and rare ones.

Police are currently trying to stop the thefts that have started to uproar in Paris, which also catches the interest of a certain gang. The Cooper Gang to be exact.

In a almost empty room in Paris a small turtle and a large hippopotamus wait for their companion to arrive, He being held up by an Inspector who is still angry at him for faking amnesia. Their relationship status is not certain. But it's probably not together from the rage Inspector Fox has when he is around or even mentioned.

But suddenly, the final member arrives. Sly Cooper. Greeting his friends, Bentley (The brains of the Gang) started to explain why he asked them to come here. He has noticed these thefts and is quite interested in who is causing them.

"Alright guys, this thief is clearly impressive. Guards never see them and they never leave a trace of them being their. Making figuring out who they are much harder. And I must say this guy would be a great addition to the team." His nasally voice said showing pictures he found and diagrams he has made for his friends to look at. "I agree completely Bentley but if they are just a petty thief there is no use in having them, they would then rather join a thief or other criminal that would give them more of a benefit than us. We have a more dignified code of thieving Bentley" The Cooper thief replied. Nodding in agreement Bentley just recoiled back with a clear "We won't know till we find and meet them won't we?"

With the clarification of Murray happy with the idea of a possible new member they started working on where this mysterious jewel thief may strike next and try to corner them for a chat. Considering they wouldn't just stop and have a chat without being put in a situation where they have to talk.

After about two weeks of not being able to figure out where this mysterious person will strike next as judging what gem they will go for differs at times, and lately they started going for other things than just gems. But that is only ever the odd time. Bentley started to think that this new thief figured out that they were tracking them and started to lead them away from their scent.

Quite impressive yes, but this could just be an idea and not what is actually happening. But all signs point to that they figured out and are now pulling the strings.

Then suddenly Bentley slapped down a poster on the table, startling the two at who were relaxing around it. One having to sit up after dozing off and the other chowing down on a pizza.

Sitting up straight Sly looked at the paper his friend is now presenting two them. "I know where they're gonna hit next!" The turtle said excitedly, finally having a lead. Looking over the poster Sly saw a that it was an advertisement for a diamond coming to a museum here in Paris.

"The Pink Lady Diamond" Sly read from the poster, a smile crossing his lips before continuing "It's coming next week, opening night would probably be when they'll strike. Great job Bentley." Smiling at his friend they started to get to work on a plan.

Opening Night.

The Museum was only giving access to nobles, a small civil get together as everyone waits to see the 'Pink Lady Diamond' themselves. Police were obviously littering the area. Inspector Carmelita herself is there to guard the Jewel till it gets transferred back to the vault that such a rare Jewel stays in to be protected from wanting eyes.
