Tactical Espionage Action, a sneaking mission, followed up be a snatch and grab. Sounds like fun.

And yet another reference to MGS! All Quentyn has to do is going sliding around crates, knocking on them to distrat the guards. You know, I feel we are really close to getting WC back, not to mention solving this mystery. I wonder who it will be? It is someone extremly high up and important, he could make it very hard for Quentyn to prove anything, if he's caught. They could even he was an essential element and worthy if jailtime and lots of it. If they hated him enough, even execution. We will see.

I hope RH has more strips ready to post. Everyone is holding their breath
waiting to see what will happen next.

I thought the capitalization seemed suspicious. It's a good thing I didn't get my hopes up.

IMHO, Quentyn is not handling this like he should. I'm not saying he should stay away from the Royals' HQ and worry about WC (and of course Mulharney, who wouldn't let Quentyn out for a ton of gold this time), but still, "grabbing WC during the gladhanding" sounds like a rather arse-brained idea to me. Viktor's lieutenants may not be in the room, but I suspect they'd rush into there at the first sign of trouble, and I would imagine that whoever is the buyer will also have a guard or six posted inside the room, a few more near the door, and one or two guarding the sewer access for good measure. If Quentyn manages to get WC at all, he'll probably be facing over a dozen Rac'Cona, armed to the teeth, who will all want to eviscerate him, and I would imagine that within minutes, the entire Royals gang (or at least a fair portion of it) would know about it, and then Quentyn would have to deal with an entire street-gang who're after his neck as well as ol' hard-arse, who isn't going to take more kindly to him even if he manages to expose a plot to bring Sanctuary City to chaos. (Especially as I've just realized that Mulharney himself might be in on it too.....)

Along the rooftops of Paris, a masked figure slips through the darkness. A locked door on the roof of Interpol HQ stands not the slightest barrier before the master thief, who smashes it open with ease. Inside lies a daunting, thick metal vault. Sly Cooper steps up to it and taps in the code dictated over his Binoc-u-com. With a quick whack of the brass-tipped cane, the door obediently swings open to reveal a piece of paper on a pedestal...

"Wow, Sly! You got another page from the Thevius Raccoonus!

This part tells about Quentyn Cooper's 'slip and duck' maneuver. Legend says he could slip past just about anyone using it... as long as they weren't looking and had no interest in catching him whatsoever. All you have to do is jump and hit the circle button, and you'll dive right past spectators. You might wanna be careful about using that one, Sly..."

"Uhhh... Bentley? That doesn't look too useful at all."

"Well he's YOUR ancestor, Sly. I don't make the moves, I just look 'em up."

True, but you gotta realize the stress he's under. This plan is not suicidal.

Viktor's lieutenants may not be in the room, but I suspect they'd rush into there at the first sign of trouble, and I would imagine that whoever is the buyer will also have a guard or six posted inside the room, a few more near the door, and one or two guarding the sewer access for good measure.

You're probably right about Viktor's lieutenants, but the buyer? He might have two people to cart the crate away, but I think he wants as few as possible knowing about what he's doing. He isn't doing this for money, not at the price he's paying. He would want as few as possible knowing what he was up to, especially after he turns the Royals in. Why else chase the Royals out?

If Quentyn manages to get WC at all, he'll probably be facing over a dozen Rac'Cona, armed to the teeth, who will all want to eviscerate him, and I would imagine that within minutes, the entire Royals gang (or at least a fair portion of it) would know about it, and then Quentyn would have to deal with an entire street-gang who're after his neck as well as ol' hard-arse, who isn't going to take more kindly to him even if he manages to expose a plot to bring Sanctuary City to chaos.

I don't think that Quentyn is quite that foolish. At most, there will be four in the room. He's handled three before. These guys are tougher, yes, but he isn't looking for a confrontation anyway. Remember, the sword is not for sale. They could hawl the the trunk out, and while being escorted out...the room is unguarded. He might have time to grab it and go.

Aye, Quentyn Cooper was always thought of as the black sheep of the family... poor guy blundered his way through nearly every heist.

He did get the hang of it eventually though, despite landing in jail at least five times during his career...

So that's how Sly Cooper can see those blue sparkly dots next to window ledges. He's part Rac Cona Daimh!

Well duuh

EVERY bloody raccoon in this entire friggin WORLD is a Rac'Cona infiltrator, sent here to spy on us big people and learn our secrets. And how our garbage tastes

So far, so good. Now if Quentyn can just keep from dripping water on those below and alerting them to his presence, he may learn a few things..absolute care and stealth are mandatory now.

Think before you act m'lad......think that you're sopping wet....and peering over the edge of a large hole.

If these guys are from Chicago we'll be eating good!"

A cookie to who can tell me what movie that's from.

Thread title was kinda misleading. I waltzed in here expecting a discussion of the merits of Earl Grey over Camomile, instead I get this.

Mind you, this is a sticky situation. If this were me I'd probably be completely at a loss. Then again, if this were me I'd have asked for the police's help IN THE FIRST PLACE and probably not even be in this situation.

Hey, all that proves is that Scratch is a Democrat and Quentyn a Republican.

*ducks and runs*

I don't get it.

It just seems that when a Democrat breaks the law, nobody seems to care.

But let a Republican even give the appearance of breaking the law...

Uh huh....and how many people did he bring? Two! I called it! However, note that there is also one of Viktor's liurtenants in the room as well.
