Carmen Sandiego's POV:

"She's good, eh?" I say to Shadowsan.

"Very." He replies.

We watched as the duel went on. Y/N against Zack and Ivy. It was a 1 on 2. She was beating them both. At the same time. I gotta say, I was impressed. I haven't even been training her for that long. After a few minutes, Y/N came out victorious. Again. "Of course." I thought with admiration. "She's so perfect..."

"Do you think she's ready?" I hesitate, before adding; "Y'know, to come with us on capers?"

"Carmen, you worry too much." Says Shadowsan "You always suggest she gets more practice. She is ready."

"But what if-" He cuts me off by raising his hand. "She is ready. If you do not tell her, I will." He says.

I huffed. "Okay, okay. I'll tell her tonight."

I just want to keep her safe....

Y/N's pov; it is night time.

I yawned, as I looked at my alarm clock. 9:30 PM.

3 knocks at my door. A voice rang out. "Can I come in?" It was Carmen. Oh yeah, did I mention? Carmen and her team moved into a rusty old Carmen Brand Outerwear. It's our HQ now. The Weasley twins are working on painting, building tables, and whatnot. Whatever helps make this place look more lively. I looked at my mattress, which was no longer on the floor. Looks like they finally made that bed frame for me. I inspected their handiwork before testing it out. It was sturdy, and durable. That should last a while. Or at least, I hope it will. Anyway, back to Carmen.

"Come in!" I told her.

She stepped in, wearing her red hoodie like always.

"Boy do I have news for you. Shadowsan and I think you're ready to go on capers with us." She smiled. "Isn't it great?"

I stopped myself from squealing in delight. I stopped my jaw from dropping. My mind raced. Come on y/n... Play it cool!

"Oh! Yes! That sounds amazing! I'd love to!" I smiled back at her.

"Glad to hear you're in. Player tells me that a museum in France is being robbed soon. We start tomorrow night." And with that she walked out. Leaving me alone to process these thoughts.

Realization settled in. I can't believe I'm going to be on a caper with Carmen!

Carmen Sandiego's POV: It is now time for the caper!

We arrived at the museum at midnight. Suddenly, Player's voice popped up through the comm-link earrings I was wearing.

"Uhm.. Red. Someone already took the security cameras down."

Me and y/n looked up. Player was right. Origami ninja stars were stuck in the middle of the cameras.

Paperstar

I groaned. Really? Paperstar again? The last time I encountered her, she cut a piece of my hat off!

We carefully proceeded, avoiding possible traps. It was a couple minutes before the Multicolored Freakshow showed up. She threw a star at y/n behind her back, and it hit her in the ankle. Blood seeped out.
Y/n took out her her grappling hook. It was the same as mine, only it was f/c instead of red. (If your favorite color is red, ignore the previous sentence.) She shot it at the ceiling, and swung towards Paperstar. Paperstar tried to make more origami stars to cut y/n's grappling line, but I had already stole her sticky notes, and threw them in a nearby fountain. As y/n swung, she stuck her leg out and kicked Paperstar in the stomach. Paperstar clutched the area that y/n had hit, and y/n shot her grappling hook at the ceiling again. This time, y/n kicked Paperstar in the head. She was out cold now.

"Not bad" I told her.

"Yeah.. I guess it really wasn't bad." She said, pride in her voice. "I will continue the perimeter check." And with that, she walked off.

"What about your injury?" I yelled.

"Riiiiight. I guess I could let you take care of that."

I settled down into the couch back in headquarters, nursing a cup of tea. I stirred it for a bit before tossing out the tea bag. After I finished drinking it, I looked at the ticking clock. 4:38 AM. The Caper ended a few hours ago. I should really be asleep. "Eh.. Where's the fun in that?" Said a voice in my head. I got up and started wandering around. I was thinking about using the elevator, but remembered how loud it was. I'd wake everyone up! And so, I snuck up the stairs, and paused after reaching the 3rd floor. No one goes there much. Carmen says its because we only need two floors. Maybe I could have this floor! An entire floor just for (Favorite hobby)! Think of how fun it would be! But first, lets not get to ahead of ourselves. We need to see what we are working with. I opened the door, and to my surprise, there was stuff in there. I walked in, and saw that it was pictures. Of me! What? I thought no one used this? I walked in, and saw that there were lots! Lots and lots, all hanged upon the wall. But it doesn't end there. Hearts were drawn around my face on each picture. And some of the pictures..

I leaned in closer to the photograph with an big red X over someone's face. Before I could get a good look at who it was, I heard footsteps. I hid in a corner. I heard pots and pans clanging together. Oh. Its just Zack getting a late night feast. I went down to the kitchen, forgetting about the red X. Zack saw me as I came down.

"Y/n? What are you doing here?" He asked.

"What are you?" I replied.

"Getting snacks. You?"

"Just exploring." I said with a shrug. The memory of the mysterious room reappeared into my mind. I brushed it away. "Well, don't let me keep you any longer." I said to Zack. "I'm off to bed now."

As I lay in bed, I thought even more about what I saw. Who made it? Unfortunately, I was very tired, and fell asleep.

What was that?
