At Carmens headquarters..."You remember your first caper,don't you?"Asked Zack.
"You know,the night we first met?"Questioned Ivy.
"Can you blame me for having an aversion to donuts,and tea parties?Replied Carmen.
"Yes!It's all coming back."Stated Zack.
"Dude,she's wicked sharp."Commented Ivy.They then share a group hug.Then as Shadowsan enters Ivy says "come on,Bro.Let's take Lydia for a spin" as her and Zack both leave.
"What do we know?"Asked Carmen.
"Early reports seem to indicate that VILE,as we both know it,is crumbling.ACME has been acting upon the intel we have provided.And is thus,better-equipped to intercept any Operatives who remain active.Though,some will hide in plain sight,biding their time until their services might one day be required.And others,lacking resources and leadership, sill simply change course and pursue other interests."Shadowsan states.El topo and Le chèvre serve customers from a food truck."I'm ready to get back in the game."Carmen Exclaimed.
"Carmen,you have given so much to the world already.You have more than earned the opportunity to live the life you deserve,that you have always deserved.If VILE should ever again rear its ugly heads,there are others who might rise to the challenge,and fight the good fight.Anyone possessing your heart,wisdom,and courage can become Carmen Sandiego.After all,it was an unruly prankster named Black Sheep who first donned the hat and coat."Announced Shadowsan.
"What can I say?I chose my path."Explained Carmen.
"New paths await."Shadowsan says while looking at the nesting dolls then giving Carmen the folder.
"If you so choose.Anything left to learn about your past is contained within.Yes,even your given name.."Exclaimed Shadowsan while Carmen reaches for the folder.Next Zack and Ivy step off the elevator."Carm."Ivy screams.
"Shadowsan?"Zack yells.When they realize the nesting dolls were gone from the shelf they walked closer.Then they realise there's a note and desides to read it."What's it say?"Asked Zack.
"Keep fighting the good fight.Love you both so much.Carmen."Ivy says with tears rolling down her face.
"Hey,Ivy."Zack says while holding a ACME communicator pen.
