Fragments of a Broken Timeline [Book 3]

Ch.7 Plan in Motion

"Okay, hold on, you're saying I have to what now?" Rae asked, seeming a bit unhappy with what she was told.

"I need you and Murray to go in your Geisha disguises to meet El Jefe so that when he talks, we'll know everything we need to and he'll be none the wiser." Bentley briefly explained.

"Okay, but why do I have to be there? I'm sure Murray could handle it on his ow--"It was then Rae realized something. "Ah, right... Now I see..."

"So then you understand why I can't trust Murray as much as he eats and that he could very well blow this whole thing. That, and I can't rely on him to remember half of the things I tell him. It's going to be up to you to go in undercover and report back with anything new that we aren't already aware of."

Rae just sighed. "Fine, I'll do it, but if he gets handsy, I'm cutting them off." She then went to go change, Bentley sighing.

I can see the stress of doing this, plus with what Sly has done to mess things up is starting to get to her... I just hope Sly can fix what he broke, because we need Rae to be focused in all this too, and...I hate to see her like this most of all... Bentley thought to himself before going to set out for his mission.

"Alright, so according to my calculations, this is the optimal location to launch the RC car." Bentley said to himself once he was in position for his mission. "With the miniature microphone I installed, it should be a snap to follow El Jefe and see what he's up to." The turtle set his car down before glancing up, spotting the Spanish tiger. "It looks like he's heading for the prison... Time to get rolling then!" He then let his car go, trying to follow El Jefe at a distance.

Bentley let the car loose, having placed Murray's old chicken hat on it as not to draw attention to the car. However, even though the disguise was very poor and blatantly obvious, the guards seemed to be too stupid to notice a difference, or they just didn't seem to care. Either way, the piss-poor disguise was working, and as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Now then, aside from the idiot guards, Bentley' s car managed to finally catch up to El Jefe, listening as he began to talk aloud.

"Ah, even this magnificent prison pales when compared to my new statue fortress!" He then started walking again, Bentley raising an eyebrow at what he just listened to.

"New stature fortress? Hmm... That must be where he's hiding out all the time." He said to himself.

El Jefe then started laughing. "Nobody would guess that the Palace Gate switch is actually under the bridge!"

It was Bentley's turn to laugh this time. "Ha ha! You're messing with the wrong turtle, buddy!" He then started to use the car to chase after the tiger again.

It didn't take very long to catch up to El Jefe again, using the car to listen in on what he was saying to himself as he walked underneath a bridge into what seemed to be somewhat of a cave with a large door toward the right. "Bahh! Fishing caves! Good thing I sealed them! My Dragon Gates are invincible, as long as that lazy guard doesn't get distracted by sushi!"

"Very interesting..." Bentley noted. "I think we can help that guard out." He chuckled, following after El Jefe.

"Even if those fools get to the Dragon Gates, they'll never figure out the switches are inside the mouths!" The tiger laughed again before taking off.
