London
Kassandra looked at her laptop. "Perfect. My disguise as Shailaigh
Jackson is working..."
Carmen peered through her binoculars and saw Kassandra read the
latest news on the thefts. 'Lee's nerve could cut titanium steel...'
"Long time no see, Sandiego," a voice said, behind her.
"What?" Carmen quickly turned to face Samuel. "Certainly is a long
time no see, eh Connolly?"
"Not since that bribe case Detective Fenson took over back in our
Acme days," Samuel answered. "What brings you from across the pond, old
chum?"
"What I do is none of your business, mate," Carmen answered. "I'm on
VILE's business."
"Then where's your trenchcoat?" Samuel asked.
Carmen looked down at her all-black turtleneck, slacks, and boots.
"Left it at home. I don't want to get caught."
"Nice outfit. Makes you look like Max Guevara." Samuel commented.
"Who's Max?"
"Never mind."
There was a pause as Carmen headed for the elevator. "Mind if I join
you?" Samuel asked.
"Go right ahead. I'm just heading down to first floor to catch my
ride."
While on the elevator there was another pause. "Acme's on the thefts,
I presume?" Carmen asked.
"Yeah. Someone named Shailaigh Jackson is pulling all the thefts."
Sameul said.
Carmen was stunned. "That can't be."
"Why? What's wrong, Carmen?"
"Shailaigh Jackson was my best friend when I was a kid back in San
Francisco. I was ten and she was three when she was brought to the
orphanage..."
"You're 30."
"And she's 23. How old does this impersonator claims to be?"
"23."
"Where's her picture?" Carmen demanded.
Samuel pulled out a picture of Kassandra from his jacket. "This is
Shailaigh. She looks rather young to be 23, dontcha think?"
Carmen was quiet for a moment.
"Uh, Carmen?"
Carmen's face became red. "GODDAMMIT THAT LITTLE BITCH!" Carmen
screamed.
'Oh no, I wasn't hoping this was gonna happen...' Samuel thought.
Once the elevator opened on the first floor Carmen ran like hell just
as Zack and Ivy C-5ed out. "Hit it!" Zack shouted, ducking out of Carmen's
wrath.
"Carmen, no!" Samuel shouted, trying to catch up.
Kassandra stepped out of the hotel from next door when she was
tackled to the ground. "OW! Let me go!" Kassandra shouted.
Carmen grabbed hold of Kassandra's laptop and used it to whack
Kassandra needlessly. "YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Tossing it away, Carmen grabbed
Kassandra by the throat.
"Let me go! I haven't done anything!" Kassandra gasped.
Samuel caught up with Carmen. "Let her go, Cara," Samuel said,
careful not to let Carmen's identity slip.
"You little bastard," Carmen said, anger evident in her eyes. "You
really are asking for trouble."
"I can't breathe," Kassandra said, having a little difficulty talking.
Zack and Ivy caught up with the three. "It's alright, lady, we'll
take her," Zack said following Samuel's example.
Carmen released Kassandra from her grip. "I'll see you in hell, you
little twit," Carmen shouted. Kassandra swung a hard punch at Carmen,
knocking her out.
"Alright, Kassandra, that's enough," Ivy said, handcuffing her wrist
to Kassandra's. Zack retrieved Kassandra' battered laptop from the street.
Samuel picked Carmen up. "Chief, C-5 us to Acme in London!"

Carmen woke up in pain. "Ow..."
"It's alright, Carmen, it's alright," Samuel said.
"What happened?" she asked slowly.
"The girl punched you hard in the face. She managed to KO you before
Zack and Ivy got her in custody." Samuel said.
The door opened and Ivy peeked in. "Hey loveboy, is she alright?"
Samuel stood up and opened the door. "Yeah, Carmen's alright. And my
name's Samuel Connolly."
"Sure, whatever." Ivy and Zack ushered in Kassandra, still handcuffed
to Ivy.
Carmen's eyes immediately became ice.
Samuel saw it. "Carmen, don't."
"Why'd you impersonate my friend?" Carmen asked.
"Just to tick you off." Kassandra answered coldly. "Needless to say,
it looks like I succeeded."
"Alright, forget the fight club," Ivy said. "Where's Lee Jordan?"
"Why should I tell you?" Kassandra asked.
"Because you're in custody," Zack answered.
"Well, I have freedom of speech--" Kassandra began.
"--and whatever you say will be used against you," Ivy said.
"Prove it," Kassandra said.
Zack produced a tape recorder. Hitting the rewind button, Zack
replayed the recent conversation. "'Where's Lee Jordan?' 'Why should I tell
you?' 'Because you're in custody.' 'Well, I have freedom of speech--' '--and
whatever you say will be used against you.'" Zack hit the stop button.
"What have you got to say now?" Ivy asked.
"Acme stinks, and Carmen stinks as a leader." Kassandra said.
"Okay. But you haven't answered my first question."
"Don't bother reasking it. I refuse to answer."
"Okay. Then where's Cruiser?"
"Es ist ein geheimes," Kassandra answered. ("It's a secret.")
"Don't play word games," Zack warned.
"Where are these objects?" Ivy showed her pictures of the Hope
Diamond, the Crown Jewels, the samurai sword, the baseball card, and the Mona
Lisa.
"You're the detective. You should find out." Kassandra answered.
Ivy lost her cool. "Alright, you don't want to play fair, we'll
extend the same treatment to you." Ivy unlocked the handcuff around her wrist
and re-locked around Kassandra's free wrist.
"What did I do?" Kassandra demanded.
"How does one count the charges? Impersonation, helping and aiding
two known fugitives break out from prison, theft, hacking, what more could it
add up?" Ivy asked.
"That it's not over yet." Kassandra picked the handcuff. "I say,
cheerio!" Kassandra bolted out of the interrogation room faster than either
thief or three detectives could catch her.
"Damn! The gall of that girl..." Carmen growled. She left the room.
"There goes Kassandra," Samuel said.
"Man, what got Carmen to start choking Kassandra up?" Zack asked.
"I was hoping Carmen had gotten over from her temper back in her Acme
days," Samuel answered.
"You knew Carmen back then?" Ivy asked.
"Yeah. We were friends back then until Carmen left Acme," Samuel
said.
"What got her fired up so bad?" Ivy asked.
"Kassandra impersonated someone named Shailaigh Jackson. Carmen's
best friend back in her childhood," Samuel said. "Kassandra sure knows how to
get someone mad enough. And I have a feeling there's more chaos to follow."
"Why do you say that?" Zack asked.
"I looked into her laptop. My guess is that Kassandra and her uncle
Lee are trying to get enough money so Lee can usurp Carmen as leader of
VILE. They've already failed tricking Avalon into thinking Lee's cousin is
his daughter."
"So they decided to get the money by stealing the same items Carmen
stole for Lee," Ivy said.
"Yes. But that may not be enough," Samuel said.
"If that's not enough where else would she go?" Ivy asked.
"Her aunt Vivien Mitchell, or by stealing a couple more valuable
items."
"Why her aunt?" Zack was confused.
"Her aunt won in a lawsuit against her husband a few years back and
won over half of his fortune. If Kassandra doesn't head for her aunt, she's
probably hanging somewhere in London somewhere, or both."
"What for? Kassandra's not that stupid." Ivy remarked.
"She could be after the Millenium Star," Zack said. "The security's
probably too tight for Kassandra to break in and steal the diamond, though."

Kassandra opened up a new laptop. 'How wrong they are,' she silently
laughed to herself.
