Somewhere in Colorado
Kassandra woke up on the backseat. The sun was starting to rise. Lee
and Cruiser were still asleep from yesterday's jailbreak.
"Man, that was one helluva night at VILE..." she rubbed her back from
being in an uncomfortable position for so long. 'I wonder what Sara and
Carmen are up to...'
**********
VILE Headquarters
"This is bad," Carmen muttered.
"What's bad?" Sara asked, catching another rat.
"Lee Jordan's out of jail, and I have no idea who KM is..." Carmen
muttered.

Acme Detective Agency
Zack was checking on files when Carmen came in.
"Carmen?" Zack was puzzled. "What are you doing here?"
"Doing online research. Just wondering who KM is and if you guys have
any record of her."
'KM, KM...' Zack thought. His eyes widened. "Oh crap..."
"What's wrong, Zack?"
"KM is Kassandra Morrow--Lee Jordan's niece," Zack said.
"Are you joking?" Carmen demanded.
"No joke. She's the one who broke Lee and Cruiser out of jail."
There was a pause for a moment. Then Carmen spoke up. "If that's the
case I think there's going to be some deja vu and havoc to raise here..."
**********
Boston, Massachusetts
Kassandra, Lee, and Cruiser stepped out of the C-5.
"Good thing you didn't throw away your communicator, Kassandra. It's
a real lifesaver at times," Lee commented.
"Thanks, uncle," Kassandra mumbled.
Approaching a house, a woman stepped outside. "Lee? Kassandra? What
are you doing here?"
"We have something in mind, Donna," Lee said.

Cheyenne, Wyoming
Nighttime
Carmen checked out the interior of the theather being built for her
henchpeople. "Good, nothing bad so far..."
"Excuse me," a voice said behind her.
Carmen turned around to face a young teen. "Yes?"
"I got lost in here. Where's the exit?" the teen asked.
The master thief immediately suspected something. "You're not suppose
to be here after 8. Only the construction crew--" Carmen cut herself off.
"Wait a minute. Your name doesn't happen to be Kassandra, is it?"
"As a matter of fact, yes." Kassandra drew out a knife.
Carmen backed away slowly. "I don't condone weapons in any of my
hideouts, young lady," Carmen said, warning Kassandra.
"To hell with that! DIE!!" Kassandra attempted to stab Carmen but
missed. While in her blind fury Carmen jumped over one of the balconies down
to the stage. Running backstage she saw some of the construction crew.
"Abandon your work! We'll continue tomorrow!"
"But why, boss?" one of them asked as they exited the building.
"I'll explain tomorrow. Right now I need to take care of a knife-
wielding teen." Carmen went back inside.
Kassandra was seeing red. "Carmen! Where the hell are you?!" she
shouted. 'I can't let this woman live one more day...not what she did to my
uncle at Beijing...'
Carmen retrieved a gun from her desk compartment. 'I was hoping this
day wouldn't come...' she thought, looking at the old gun. It had been many
years since she used it back in her Acme days.
Peeking inside, Carmen didn't see Kassandra in sight. Creeping along
the wall, Carmen was unaware that Kassandra was behind her until she saw a
shadow above her.
"DIE, YOU UNREASONABLE LEADER!!" Kassandra made another attempted
stab at Carmen but again missed as Carmen ducked and faced the teen.
"You happen to be bad at knifing, don't you?" Carmen remarked as she
withdrew her gun. "What a shame."
"You put my uncle away! He deserved to be at your position!"
Kassandra screeched. She threw her knife at Carmen.
Panicking, Carmen fired a bullet at Kassandra, hitting the teen in
the foot. Dropping her gun, Carmen went to the teen's side and helped her up.
"Why'd you do that?" Kassandra hissed, trying to balance on one foot.
"You left me no choice," Carmen answered. "Come on, let's get you to
the hospital."
August 17, 2000
Carmen was asleep in her office when Zack and Ivy C-5ed in.
"Carmen?" Ivy asked. No answer. "Um...okay..."
"Carmen, we heard there was a fight and someone got hurt. You know
what happened?" Zack asked.
Carmen slowly opened her eyes. "Zack? Ivy?" She rubbed the sleep from
her tired eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"We heard there was a fight and someone got injured." Zack repeated.
The door opened and one of Carmen's henchmen came in with a knife.
"We found this embedded in the backdrop."
"Put it over there." Carmen pointed to a file cabinet. "Yeah, there
was a fight in the theater. That was Kassandra's knife in the backdrop. I
shot her in the foot and she's in the hospital. They told me it was only a
graze, no major injuries."
"You shot Kassandra in the foot? But Carmen, I thought you hated
weapons!" Ivy said.
"Yes, I hate them and I wouldn't use them even if you paid me. But I
had a gun back in my Acme days and that was the weapon I used to shoot
Kassandra. She left me with no choice due to her behavior with her knife."
Carmen yawned. "S'cuse me."
**********
Boston, Massachusetts
"Lee, this is insane! Why are you making me impersonate someone's
long lost daughter?" Donna yelled.
"Think about it, coz. If he believes you're his daughter, think of
all the money you'll get," Lee answered.
"That's baloney! It's like stealing a bell with your ears covered.
Somehow I have a feeling Aunt Colleen and Uncle Alan are rolling over in
their graves right now."
"So are you with me or no?"
"Hell no, Lee Jordan. Your IQ must've dropped a thousand feet! Lying
to someone so you can get money is plain dumb, and if there's any chance of
me going into a world of wealthy bastards I'm throwing you off a cliff, Lee!"
Donna said.
Cruiser took out a gun. "Not if it happens to be your life that's
going to be taken."
Donna stared long and hard at the gun. "Lee, Lee, Lee. Go to hell."
"So are you gonna go with us or risk getting shot?" Lee asked.
"Fine, cousin. Have it your way. But I'm not taking part in any
looting if you decide on it."
**********
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Malcolm Avalon looked at his wife's portrait. 'It's been too many
years, Marguerite...'
The door swung open, catching Avalon's attention. "Who's there?" he
asked.
"Relax, dude. We think we may have found your long-lost daughter, Mr.
Avalon," Lee answered, pointing at Donna.
Avalon took a hard look at Donna. "It can't be her. I lost my
precious child in a fire 30 years ago. It cannot be her." Avalon turned away.
"I told you so," Donna mouthed. "Now can we go back?"
"Shut up, Donna," Lee said, threatening with a gun. Then he turned
back to Avalon. "But how can you be sure? Carmen Sandiego said that she might
be your daughter--"
"WHAT?" Donna jumped up and gave Lee a hard kick...where it hurts
most on men. "You fraudulent, lying, no-good chauvinistic cousin of mine! If
we weren't on someone's property right now, I would've done more damage on
you!" Donna left the room, leaving Lee lying on the floor whimpering in pain.

October 10, 2000
"'Hope Diamond and 4 more world treaures stolen,'" Ivy read out loud
from the newspaper. "Okay...this is bizarre."
"What's bizarre?" Zack asked.
"In the past three days someone's made off with the Hope Diamond, the
Crown Jewels, a samurai sword, Honus Wagner's baseball card, and the Mona
Lisa," Ivy said. "Zack, there's got to be a connection here."
"All five things were once stolen by Carmen for Lee," Zack said. "But
if Carmen didn't steal it, since we know it's not her to steal all this
valuable stuff, who would?"
"Maybe Kassandra. But why?" Ivy asked.

Acme
Washington DC
Samuel Connolly looked at his newest case file. "Five objects
stolen...suspect last seen in Paris, France..." he mumbled to himself.
A man in his late 50s walked in. "Connolly, the suspect was seen in
London. You're to go after her. We found out her name's Shailaigh Jackson."
"Sure. But she does seem young..."
"Jackson claims she's 23. What's your opinion?"
"She looks more like 17, if you ask me." He pressed something on his
watch, and a bluish glow appeared. "Adios, amigo."

"Incoming hot tip! The Acme branch from Washington DC found out who
was behind the thefts. They say her name's Shailaigh Jackson." the Chief said.
"Huh?" Zack was puzzled. "Another member of the Jordan family?"
"Well, let's cut to the chase, little bro," Ivy said.
"You'll meet up with Detective Samuel Connolly. He's been working
with Acme for the past 15 years. Good luck," the Chief said.
The C-5 opened up and the siblings went in.
