Carmen's Quest

by fairylady216

Carmen is now 16. Her parnets are presumed dead, and both Juni and Gary have disappeared. When Carmen recieves a new mission, her life changes forever. She now has to find and become a Ninya of the Path, who have been stealing OSS technology, in order to save the world one more. But this time, the stakes are higher than they have ever been before.

Carmen flopped down on her bed and sighed. She just didn't feel good. Sad and lonely. She had no reason to, she knew. After all, she was one of the most successful spies in history, and she was only 16 years old. She had her own apartment, millions of dollars in the bank, and gadgets the rest of the world wouldn't see for years. But something was missing.

Ever since her parents had been lost on a mission, everything had been different. Carmen thought back to the day when she first got the call.

"Carmen, listen to me."

"Uncle Felix! How are you?"

"I'm not your uncle. Carmen, I have some bad news."

"What? Did something happen to Gary and Gerti or something?"

"I'm so so sorry." Then he hung up. Carmen felt it deep down, a stab to the heart. Something had happened to her parents.

She had only 13 when it happened. 3 years later, they were still MIA. Not confirmed dead, but what else could have happened? Juni had never been the same after he got the news. He broke off from the OSS immediately, blaming them for his loss. A few months later, he took off. Carmen hadn't heard from him in over a year.

Gerti was constantly on missions, another top agent. She never had time for anyone. Carmen didn't want to be like that, but she often worried she was. She missed Gerti a lot. And Gary? He disappeared around the same time as Juni. She still had a picture of him. Not like the giant collection she used to have, but still…

She missed him, and thought about it all the time. In fact, that was probably why none of her other relationships had worked out. She couldn't kiss a guy without thinking about him. But now was not the time to think about Gary. After all, there was the spy rule: trust no one. She couldn't afford it.

She heard a buzz coming from the living room, and ran in. Just as she thought, the OSS was calling. She pressed accept.

"Carmen, we have a new mission for you. You know how recently, new inventions have been disappearing from headquarters?"

"Yeah. What about it?"

"We caught the person on camera."

"Well then, who is it?"

"We don't know. But we do know who they are working for. The Ninyas. We need you to go on a stakeout, find the headquarters, and take out this ninya." A picture appeared on the screen. Carmen memorized it instantly.

"Got it. I'll be there tonight." She ended the call and pulled up the picture. Those eyes. Where had she seen them before?
