"Okay, guys, this is it, time to break into Iron Horse #3 and carry away the Clockwerk Stomach. Now, the train is moving too fast to jump onto here in town, so we'll have to catch up with it using the hand car Murray helped free up for us. Once we're in position, Sly and Rae will hop aboard and make their way up to the engine. While you two travel through the interior, I'll provide air support with my RC Chopper. I've planned this as a textbook train robbery, so if we all do our jobs right, what could possibly go wrong?"
"The hand car could break, the train could unexpectedly crash, Bison could find us out..." Sly sarcastically named off some possibilities.
"Sly, shut up!" Rae hissed, swatting his arm as he laughed.
Bentley just sighed. "Alright guys, let's just get moving..." He said as the other three got up, all heading out for the hand car.
"Hop aboard, guys, we've got a train to catch!" Murray said as everyone got on the hand car, quickly following after the train as it passed by.
It didn't take long with Murray's hardcore strength to catch up with the last and final Iron Horse train, the rest of the gang grinning.
"Got it!" Sly said.
"Yeah, strong work, Murray." Rae praised him.
"Yeah, sure... 'The Murray's' strength knows no limit." He said, sounding a little out of breath from working so hard just to catch up to that train.
"You're on, Sly, Rae. Break into that train and steal the Clockwerk Stomach."
"That Jean Bison is one strange guy... The Klaww Gang divides up the parts and he walks away with the stomach and lungs? It still creeps me out."
"Mmm..." Rae just felt uneasy talking about Bison, that feeling never leaving the back of her mind.
"Get creeped out later, when we aren't riding an antique hand car at breakneck speeds." Bentley cut in.
"Good point. It's time for a train robbery! Let's go, Rae." Sly said before the two leaped onto the train.
Why does this whole thing make me feel so uneasy...? Rae wondered. For some reason, it feels like something, or someone, might try to get in the way of this job, and I've got the distinct feeling I know who...
"Hey, Rae, what's up? Something wrong?" Sly asked.
"Huh? Oh, no, it's nothing, I'm fine." She brushed it off. "Come on, let's hurry before we're discovered."
Something's not right... She's obviously anxious about something, but she won't tell me what it is... I'll just have to stay close to her just in case. Sly noted, but the two kept on moving.
The first car the two entered had two guards in it, one who stood watch while the other was trying not to doze off. The two glanced up to see the baggage rack was empty on both sides, each taking one to climb on top of to pass by the guard without him noticing, and when the other moose dozed off for that one moment, the two leaped down and exited, heading for the next car, which was scattered with lasers everywhere, not allowing them to pass."
"Looks like this one might be tricky..." Sly said aloud.
"Not necessarily." The fox cut in. "Look, we can crawl under this banister and keep our heads down to avoid the lasers."
"Yeah... Nice eye, Rae." The raccoon gave a smirk as the two crawled underneath the lasers, trying to navigate their way around the various bags in their way, before passing on by and heading for the next train car.
