Operation Heartbreak - Pt. 3

[I jumped on many rooftops, trying to resist to the temptation of a good robbery in one of the many shops around here, before "meeting" Carmelita. She was patrolling the streets under me, about ten meters under, muttering something... It was something like "That Neyla..."]

Sly, following Bentley's instructions, ignored the Inspector and reached without being noticed the old manor. It was quite visible, not only because it was on an hill, but because it was surrounded by many men in uniforms and with weapons!

Sly: -Bentley... We have a problem-
Bentley: -Why so many armed men around here? They're surely protecting something... Or keeping something inside?-
Sly: -There's something wrong about this... Hey, it's Neyla! And that General!-

Said Sly, looking near to the manor's door. The tigress was apparently trying to avoid that her superior hurled herself against a man that was trying to calm her.

Bentley: -Go near to them! What are they saying?-
Sly: -There's no need to go near to them, the screams are perfectly audible from here!-
Neyla: -You interrupted her during her "visit"! You know how she reacts when you interrupt her when the Contessa's visiting her!-
Kokitsune: -YOU! YOU DAMN SOLDIER! I'VE SAID YOU THAT I HAD A PSYCHIATRIC VISIT WITH THE CONTESSA! WHAT THE...-
Bentley: -Oh goodness! You're right! And if I think she just wants to be loved...-
Sly: -What?!-
Bentley: -I've read it on a newspaper, but I'll inform you when you'll come back here-

[However, Kokitsune suddenly calmed herself, returning the cold and sarcastic person she was. But she had that light in her eyes... That evil look, that disturbing glare...]

Kokitsune: -C'mon, men! I give the orders here! Patrol the perimeter around here and be sure no one's coming! Worauf wartest du noch!?-
Soldier: -Ja Frau!-
Bentley: -There must be something important...-
Sly: -Yes, you heard that! A psychiatric visit's going on! I suggest to leave before that freak gets her claws on me... Wait... Claws... Klaww Band!-
Bentley: -Are you trying to say that she may be in the Klaww Band? She? A General of the Interpol? Well, you may be right, looking at her criminal record...-
Sly: -Criminal Record?-
Bentley: -Yeah. From the informations I've got from the computer hacking, she was born in Yokohama, Japan, but was raised in Germany because her father founded work here. When she was twenty years old, she returned to Japan with her brother Akame. But then she joined in a Yakuza gang... Her parents never knew that. Infact, she still has the tattoo, compulsory to every member of the Yakuza. It is on her back, a dragon paw with four claws and a pearl in the palm-
Sly: -Yes... Continue-
Bentley: -Well, a rival gang thought she was too dangerous for their affairs. Kokitsune and Akame knew that and returned to Germany, thinking to be safe, but they founded them. They killed her family, she and her brother were the only survivors-
Sly: -That's... So familiar... Like what Clockwerk did to my family... But how they survived?-
Bentley: -When she was nine years old, Kokitsune had a "Little Chemistry" kit. She was playing with it and her brother, one year older, when the "accident" happened. I don't know what exactly happened, but from that day she had that scaley claws... However, they survived and the lynx decided to take her revenge on them: she founded them and killed them, crazy for the pain, and someone framed her. She was arrested and she lived for ten years in prison. She was literally destroyed from that experience, and she become angry with the world, for the justice she wanted herself, and that never had. The Police, after a medical visit, diagnosed her various psychical disturbs, including schizophrenia-
Sly: -And HOW, and I repeat HOW, she did become General? And of the Interpol!-
Bentley: -Corruption, Sly. Money. I don't know if I'm clear enough. But thrust me, pal... She is very intelligent. I wouldn't like have her as enemy-

[After that... Ahem, "comforting" words, I waited until the soldiers were enough distant to try an approach with the manor. Neyla and Kokitsune returned inside, but I bulgrarized the door without any difficulty]

The first thing Sly noticed when he was in was the strong smell of smoke and the many butts of cigars in a crystal ashtray. The furniture was marvelous, yet covered of dust and spiderwebs. Some frameworks on the walls, that portrayed Kokitsune's ancestors in the time. Her family was so large, just like Sly's. He saw a stair and heard some voices on the floor up to him. Of course, he climbed the stairs, arriving in-front of a closed door. The voices were coming from it's behind, it was perfect: unseen, he had could hear everything!

Kokitsune: -So, we're all reunited here once again. I want to thank the Contessa, as usual, for her services-
Contessa: -My pleasure-
Kokitsune: -Well then! We can start our reunion!-
Arpeggio: -The division of the Clockwerk parts, right! As you can see, I have them all here...-

Sly didn't recognized the last voice, but he clearly got the "Clockwerk parts". The informations were true and his supposition too! Kokitsune was a member of the Klaww Band!
