I Love you, Carmen

Chapter 1

25 year old Carmen Sandiego sprinted across the skyscrapers in Tokyo, Japan, in the peaceful moonlight. Ah, how nice it felt to have wind whipping through her hair and feel the wind whistling in her ears after nearly a month of being cooped up in home.

She could see her friends, Ivy, Zack, Chase, and Julia right below her in their cars. Carmen redirected her vision towards front. She and her friends were hot in pursuit of the V.I.L.E operative - Flytrap.

According to the report provided by ACME, Flytrap was sighted earlier that day, at a nearby mall. Carmen, and the others reach Japan as soon as possible. Flytrap caught the sight of them, and dashed out, vigorously attacking them with her spiked bolas.

Funny, how Vile Operatives continued to steal, showing open support to Vile, even after the organization itself was finished. They had caught dozens of scattered Vile operatives. But it was not a daily job, and Carmen missed those days, if she was completely honest to herself.

"Player, where's Flytrap heading?" Carmen asked through her Comm-Link earring, as she dodged a bola.

Player, now 21, was her oldest friend, had stuck through thick and thin with her. He had now completed his schooling and worked for ACME as a professional hacker.

"Red, she is heading towards Nanako Sun Mall Road," Player informed her. "She probably thinks she is going lose you in the crowd."

"She is smart, I'll give her that, but if she thinks she can shake me of her tail so easily, she's mistaken," Carmen growled, as the stars above her twinkled gently.

Carmen pointed her grappling hook towards a pole and zoomed down, immediately sprinting after Flytrap. Flytrap ran towards a dead end in a dark and shabby street. She shot another bola at Carmen. The others were a bit behind.

Carmen caught the next bola directed towards her and boomeranged the bola at Flytrap's legs. It caught her ankles and she fell down.

As if on cue, the Local Law Enforcement Agency came and surrounding the operative, with Zack, Ivy, Chase and Julia pointing their sleeping gas guns at Flytrap.

Carmen moved stealthily towards towards Zack and Ivy. She missed hanging out with them, since Carmen left the warehouse in San Diego, and moved to Argentina, to meet her mother, they had these rendezvous less. But they were determined to make the most of these frequent but much awaited meetings.

"Zack, Ivy!" Carmen called. They turned towards her, a bit startled. They calmed down once they saw who it was, and smiled. She grinned back. "Guys, say, can we go and meet Shadowsan?"

"Sure Carm," Ivy answered in her thick Bostonian accent. Carmen smiled again. She missed her father like figure. Even though she knew he was happy in Matsumoto, a part of her couldn't help, but be sad.

"Oh yes!" Zack cheered. Ivy sighed. Her brother was way too excited about small things. But this wasn't any small trip; they were going to see Shadowsan after nearly a year.

"I'll book you a train," Player said excitedly.

The trio went to a Kareoke restaurant after saying their farewell to Julia and Chase. They had one of the most fun nights of their life when the trio spent the night singing eating and enjoying themselves .
