Carmen Sandiego

The Conversation

Player P. O. V

It had been a few hours since I saved Cassandra who had woken up a few hours earlier .

I stared at the room she was in, thinking of her connection to the
V. I. L. E.

Could she be a member of the V. I. L. E and I hadn't known about it? Maybe the V. I. L. E did this to her because she refused to carry out orders. Or she got in  their way

There were many possibilities but only one of them had to be true.
Ivy and Zack had called to check on me.

I at long last got to see her, she stared at me for a long time before saying, ' Why did you save me?'

I stared at her long before saying, 'I expected thank you.'

' They will follow me my whole life, to make sure that I am dead, how can I say thank you for that.' She shrugged.

'What about the people in your life, what would they say?' I questioned.

' They won't question me, I pushed them away from myself,' she said looking away.

' Why?' I asked.
'Couldn't bear them seeing hurt by the V. I. L. E,' she whispered.

' How many time has be passed since you left them or seen them,' I asked.

'Oh, you really want to know, not gonna tell,' she said her eyes dancing.

' Answer my question,' I said.

' It hasn't been long since I saw them, but it had been a long time since I left them or talked to them', she said sadly, the light  in her eyes died down.

' Do you think that you would join them again? ' I asked.

'Is there a problem, if I don't answer that question,' she said slipping into her moodiness.

' Are you stalking them, like yesterday when you were stalking me,' I asked my question getting free.

' Is there a problem, and no I wasn't stalking you, I just heard you say something about V. I. L. E, ' she said glaring.

' Well are you a runaway from
V. I. L. E,' I asked curiously.

' Excuse me Mr. Journalist, if I were you I wouldn't ask that,' she said glaring viciously.

' I'm not a journalist,' I fumed.

' Oh really, because you ask like a journalist,' she said back.

I stayed quiet.

' Cat got your tongue,' she said smirking.

' Do you know about the V. I. L. E exploiting,' I asked.

' You were pretty slow, I just solved it, wait for how long I was out,' she asked.

' For a few hours,' I replied.
'I solved it yesterday only,' she said.

'Alone!?' I gasped.

She nodded looking tired.
' How is my face?' she asked suddenly.
' 5 scratches,' I replied.

' I won't be easily disguised then,' she moaned.

'Nope,' I said.
' I have news from Carmen Sandaeigo, she told me to follow you and the siblings to tell the message , she told me to tell you that she misses you all but she can't meet you all, and also that she is safe,' she whispered.

' How?!' I gasped.

' I met her 2 months ago,' she said.

I stayed silent thinking.

' Anyways, how much time till I get out of this hospital,' she asked.

' 2 days '.

' How did she know our location,' I asked.

' She keeps tabs on you all,' she said her eyes dropping.

' Sleep well,' I said as she closed her eyes.

I walked out of the hospital to my home. I informed Ivy and Zack about the message and the other important details.

Well then Carmen, at least you gave us another message in 6 months. When will be the next time you sent us another one. 1 year!

I tried my best to keep this chapter as long as possible. Bye!!
