"Carmelita how much funding do you need to catch Sly Cooper?" The chief asked. The more important people of Interpol were sitting in this small meeting room.

"All I need really is for traveling expenses to be covered." She told him.

"Okay." The chief nodded. "When you need more feel free to ask."

"Yeah I want that guy caught. Especially after what happened at my niece's birthday party." One of the chiefs from a visiting sector complained. The lady across from him raised a brow.

"What exactly happened?" The lady's curiosity was apparent.

"Well," He started embarrassed. "My niece wanted a clown at her party and the one that was originally hired ended up sick. So my niece begged my to be the clown…sometime later I noticed that the red shoes I had been wearing were gone. And then standing right next to the door was Sly Cooper. He waved the shoes at me." His face turned red, as he got more embarrassed. "My niece yelled goodbye to him and he winked at her. She still hasn't stopped talking about him." The man buried his face in his hands.

"Well that ain't nothin' towards what happened to me!" Another man exclaimed. "I was at this high class ball that was bein' held by the head of Interpol." He started. The others around the table leaned in closer. "I was the center of attention in a group of beautiful women. Then all of a sudden, one of them starts a gigglin'. I thought it was because of the joke I had told. But then a few moments later more of them starts laughing. One of the women then saids to me 'Sir, I do believe that you hair has gone missing.' Then a window caught my eye. On it was that abominable raccoon waving my hairpiece at me. The woman next to me fainted while the others burst into laughter." The man was indignant as the others snickered.

"If you think that's bad, then you have got to hear this." A lady started. Everyone eagerly turned to her. "I was having a dinner party with my wealthy lady friends and their husbands. We were going to have this brilliant imported chicken from Europe. I hired one of the best chiefs in the world to fix them up just right. Well, right when we removed the lids of our plates my trained pet chickens came out. They were squawking like crazy and nipping at our heels. They continued to chase all of us until we ended up in a tree by the chicken coop. I noticed that our dinner laid in the chickens' nests." She sniffed at the loss of the food. "On the roof of the chicken coop was that raccoon. In a bag that hung from his shoulder was the entire party's jewelry!" She wailed.

"Oh that wasn't so bad." The first man complained.

"Yes it was." Another disagreed. "She has every right to be embarrassed. Come on, they were chased into a tree by rabid chickens. They were being complete ninnies!" The lady blushed and sunk into her chair.

There was a tap on the window. All heads turned. Sly Cooper waved at them grinning. In his hand was a topaz that everyone knew Camerlita carried around. There was a silence.

"Get him!" Everyone yelled as Sly bounded away. Carmelita was right behind him with her gun.
