Thief In Time

Chapter 2

Sly's POV

"Bentley, did you disable the security system?" I asked as I waited on top of the Eiffel Tower. Today I'm going to steal a famous samurai sword that has been passed down to the Suzuki family. And since I only steal from criminals, I found out that this sword was actually a stolen piece of work from the Hejimari Family.

The owner of the sword is a criminal himself since he killed many people from the Hejimari family and claimed the sword as his own, so I am gonna steal that sword myself. "It's done! You can go down now. There is no more security system working." I jumped down from the Eiffel Tower and ran towards an old building which held what i wanted.

I saw my target surrounded by security guards. I took a small ball out of my back pocket which contains sleeping gas in it and rolled it to the guards and hid behind a pole. A few seconds later, I came out and saw the guards sleeping soundly on the ground. I tip toed to the sword and snatched it. When I turned around to go back, I was faced with a gun.

I looked at the owner and it was no other than Carmelita my arch enemy and also the first person I have madly fallen in love with. "Freeze" she said with the same stiff expression that she always wears. "No matter how many times I freeze, your beautiful, blue eyes will melt me." I said with a seductive tone.

I could see her face go red and she struggled to hide that fact. ”Don’t try to sweet-talk me!” she said, with a strict face that she pulled up. "AAAHHHHHH" i heard a screaming sound which sounded like it belonged to Bentley. "BENTLEY! HANG IN THERE!!!!"

I quickly turned around and saw Murry carrying Bentley in his arms with scratches on his face. I looked at Bentley and noticed that there was blood all over his legs. There were the police behind them and we sure were in trouble at that time.

I looked at Carmelita who had a satisfied smile on her face. "Finally. The rat is in the trap" she said. We could make a run for it but because Bentley was injured, i would be too selfish to risk his life along with Murry. I’ve already dragged them with me for enough time.

"I’ll make you a deal, Carmelita. I would agree to go with you ONLY if you let my friends go, otherwise, we would have to struggle against the police force." i said and she looked at me confused but after a few seconds, she replied "fine! But you have to come on a helicopter with handcuffs on." i nodded and had her handcuffs my hands.

Murry and Bentley left and after a while, the police chief came and congratulated Carmelita for finally catching me. We both went into the helicopter that was gonna fly me all the way to jail. She sat across from me and took out a bottle of whisky.

I have been saving this bottle for when i celebrate my succession in finally catching you." she said with an excited tone. Then we started talking about random things like; our favourite food, types of books we like, movies we watched.

She looked at her wrist watch and was shocked to see that two hours have already passed and we haven’t reached jail yet. I’ve already seen the Eiffel tower pass by for over 30 times so I wasn’t surprised. Carmelita went over to the Pilot’s seat and was shocked to see that there was no pilot driving the plane. It was sticky taped to one direction and was set on AUTOMATIC PILOT so it just kept on flying in a circle.

Carmelita’s POV

I looked at my wrist watch and was surprised that it’s been two hours and we haven’t reached Jail yet. I went over to the Pilot’s seat and was shocked to see that there was no pilot. The wheels were sticky tapped to one direction and it was set on AUTOMATIC PILOT.

What’s going on here? Oh no! Don’t tell me…………! I looked back at Sly and saw him standing near the door, with no handcuffs and with my whisky. He opened the door and the helicopter went unbalanced.

I closed my eyes because of the harsh wind that brushed against my wind. When I opened them, Sly was standing at the edge of the door frame with my bottle of whiskey in his backpack and that old smirk on his face.” The time we spent together was fun, but I must go milady. You made this day unforgettable. Of course, every moment I spend with you are unforgettable. Goodbye, milady.”

He said and winked then jumped off the helicopter. “COOPER!!!!” I exclaimed. Just when I thought I have finally caught him, he tricked me.
