First Discovery of the Chalice

With Sly's condition present, Carmelita goes with Bentley and Murray in order to find a cure for reversing the effects of the mysterious chalice. The group also plans on finding "Client X". This unknown figure happens to be the one that hired the Cooper Gang to steal the chalice and test its mystical properties. For the hopes of doing both, the group went to the Cooper Gang's temporary hideout. Upon their arrival, Bentley leads Carmelita with Sly in her arms into the hideout, which happens to be an abandoned warehouse. Murray leaves the three and takes off for food as well as supplies before returning.

Bentley takes Carmelita and Sly to a hidden elevator in the warehouse. Once inside, they make their ascension to the top floor.

Bentley: Thanks again for helping us Carmelita.
Carmelita: Like I said earlier, I'm not just doing this for Cooper. I've been tasked to find the real perp one after the chalice. *cradles Sly in her arms*
Sly: *begins yawning and starts to fall asleep*
Bentley: *pulls the chalice out* Let's hope we can uncover the chalice's secrets and find out who Client X is.
Carmelita: Agreed.

The three soon arrive the top floor of the warehouse. Once the elevator's door opens, they are suddenly greeted by Penelope.

Penelope: Bentley! *runs toward Bentley and hugs him*
Bentley: Hey Penelope! *hugs Penelope back*
Penelope: *suddenly notices Carmelita* AAAHHHHH!!! What's she doing here!? *points at Carmelita*
Carmelita: Hmph.
Bentley: Well, we've got a problem. Carmelita needs our help and we need her assistance also.
Penelope: What kind of problem?
Bentley: It's Sly. He's .... well ... see for yourself. *points to a sleeping Sly in Carmelita's arms*
Penelope: Is that really Sly? *says in confusion*
Carmelita: It is.
Penelope: Oh my gosh, he's so ADORABLE!
Sly: Aaa... aaa *starts waking up*
Carmelita: You feeling alright Cooper?
Sly: *looks at Carmelita and smiles* aaahbaa *looks to Penelope with a curious expression*
Penelope: So cute! How did this happen Bentley?
Bentley: It's a long story. The condensed version is that Sly was told by our client to drink something from the chalice. Sly must have gotten a water bottle nearby and poured the water into the chalice to test the "myth" of gaining youth. As for the results, you can see for yourself.
Carmelita: How can we reverse the effect?
Bentley: I don't know. Luckily, I managed to find some information on the chalice, not to mention some photos of the ones who found the chalice 73 years ago. Sadly, I only compiled the info and didn't go through all of it yet.
Penelope: Where did you put the info?
Bentley: It's in that folder on the bed over there. You two can help by going through all the notes and research I found.
Carmelita: Alright then, the faster we go through that information the better.

An hour later, the group is doing what they can to dig up whatever they can find on the chalice and the possible location of Client X. Bentley is at the desktop computers on the other side of the room in attempt to trace the recording calls from Client X. Carmelita and Penelope are looking through the research that Bentley found on the chalice. At the same time, the two are also watching over Sly. Not too long after, Murray returns with some groceries and supplies for Sly.

Murray: Hey guys!
Bentley: Hey Murray. *still looking for the call locations*
Penelope: Nice to see you again Murray.
Murray: Any luck yet.
Bentley: Not yet I'm afraid.
Carmelita: We're not finding anything here either. It's just the same myth told over and over again. *a few photos fall out while not noticing*
Penelope: Didn't the client send any money to the accounts yet? If that person did, then we could track down their accounts too.
Bentley: We only got half of the money promised. I've already tried a backtrace on the money's account of origin. Sadly, it only shows thousands of accounts with aliases.
Murray: What about the phone calls?
Bentely: I did manage to trace the calls to some countries in Europe.
Murray: Alright, but which ones?
Bentley: *sigh* Almost all of them. *shows the screen with hundreds of call locations from numerous countries in Europe*
Murray: Geez, that'll take forever to find out.
Carmelita: Great, now we're back to square one.
Sly: *notices one the photos that fell* Aaabaa....aaabaa.
Penelope: Awww, he wants to help too. *notices the photo as well* Wait a sec. *grabs the photo* Is that... guys look at this!
Carmelita: What did you find?
Penelope: Actually, it was Sly who found it.
Sly: *giggles*
Carmelita: *looks at the photo* Unbelievable, he's one the first finders of chalice?
Murray: *sees the photo* Bentley, is that?
Bentley: *looks at the photo* It is. It's Sly's grandfather, Augustine Cooper.
