Just an idea I came up with for Sly to meet one of my characters. 
Think I'll work on more Sly Cooper and Carmelita content since there's
about 84 days till the 1st game's anniversary. Enjoy!

Sly and the gang belongs to Suckerpunch and all respected parties

“Everyone in position?” Bentley signaled in his ear com to his best friend and partners in crime.

“Let’s do it, Bentley,” Murray said from an alleyway.

Sly climbed up a rooftop via a metal pole attached to the side of the building and signaled in. “Ready when you are Bentley, though I gotta say, this is a very odd request. You sure we should take this job?”

“I’ve tried negotiating with our client but they’re dead set on getting that hat. We don’t have a choice at the moment,” Bentley said while typing on his computer in the van. “Alright, let’s get started. Murray, you’re up first. We need you to take out the bodyguard assigned to our target. He’s in the back of the hotel taking a smoke break. Assume his identity. I’ll meet you shortly.”

“On it, Bentley! Let’s see how this chump handles ‘The Murray.’” Murray cracked his knuckles and leaned over to see the huge brute. Though not as big as Mugshot, the Doberman leaning against the wall was very tall and built for taking out small fry.

“Sly, you’re up next,” Bentley continued. “We need you to scale the hotel building, get to our target’s room, and bug it with some special cameras I’ve created. This way we’ll be able to see anything going on and try to unravel the mysteries he holds. I’ll pose as the front desk clerk and hack the system to reassign him to that room.”

“What makes this guy so special?” Sly asked.

“That’s the interesting thing. The guy’s name is Kaycen Phox. According to public records, he’s a magician on a world tour originating from Paris. However, he appeared out of nowhere. There’s no files on him at all even with all my resources. Some people say he’s a hoax, but others believe it’s real magic. I have my theories but we’ve dealt with the supernatural before so we can’t rule out the possibility.

He’s hoping to make his huge debut here in Paris. Our client believes his top hat is the source of his real power and if we get it, they’ll divulge some information on the Clockwerk.”

“Wait… seriously?!” Sly asked in disbelief.

“I can’t verify if what he says is true or not but I don’t want to pass up this opportunity given what we’ve gone through with him in the past,” Bentley said.

“Alright, if all we’re doing is getting a hat, let’s do it,” Sly said firmly.

“Good, because according to the traffic lights, he’s almost here. We’ll need to act fast.”

With that, each of the Sly crew members performed their respected duties. Murray brawled with the bodyguard, managing to win, steal his clothes, and accompany Bentley inside towards the front desk. Sly climbed up the side of the hotel to the near top floor and snuck inside just as the staff got done cleaning and preparing his room.
