Who the hell took Ivy? (Carmivy)

ch. 3

"Ah the infamous thief Carmen Sandiego herself. I wasn't expecting you to be trying to find Ivory as well but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. What I am surprised about is that such an infamous woman like you actually associates with the disappointment named Zechariah." The woman said smoothly and making Carmen's eyes narrow a bit.

"I don't know any Zechariah. But if you're referring to Zack then he's my younger brother-in-law and I'm very proud to claim such. He is, after all, a very intelligent boy with a gift for electronics." Carmen said without skipping a beat as she moved so that she was partially shield Zack from the screen.

"Brother-in-law? But my son Thoren is dead." The woman said confused and making Carmen smirk slightly as the teen detectives began looking between Carmen and the screen wide eyed. A few were even blushing.

"Do I need to steal a closet for you to figure it out? If so you don't have half the wits of Ivy and Zack even if you claim to have half their genetic code." Carmen said making Sara choke slightly on thin air.

"Damnitt boss." Sara muttered as she tried to keep from laughing.

"Steal a closet? Are you high?" The woman on the screen asked looking confused and making Ivy snort slightly.

"Her IQ is much higher than yours. Then again so is a rocks." Ivy quipped from the wall, making Carmen smirk slightly wider. That was the woman she married.

"Silence you. One word about where we are out of you and this feed will be cut, as will you be. We need you alive, not necessarily in one piece." The masked man snarled as he hit Ivy in the shoulder, making her wince while Carmen's smirk fell instantly. Carmen glanced at Hack who shook his head. He needed some more time.

"You hurt one hair on her and you'll find out just how deadly I can be. Sara has been asking for some test subjects after all." Carmen said darkly to the screen.

"Retribution is what they are calling what they will do. But I bet they never knew I will always try to save you." Ivy sang slightly earning a weird look from the others but she ignored them as she looked at Carmen and Zack.

"So you married my daughter. The rest of the world will think you into younger woman you know, I know Ivory's age but do you?" The woman asked ignoring Ivy with a smirk on her face.

"Ivy is twenty three years old, turns twenty four this year in fact. She's always claimed to be seventeen in order to try and throw you and your group off of her tail." Carmen said without missing a beat as she stared at the screen blank faced.

"Not that it worked. And you're what? Thirty seven…forty maybe?" The woman asked smirking and earning a raised eyebrow from Carmen while Zack and Al both tried to muffle their laughter.

"I turn thirty this year. There is only a six year age gap between us, and that certainly isn't illegal or all that big of one." Carmen said giving Al a stern look and ignoring Zack.

"Come and take my cloths this is the way that you can go. Wear them till you're gone and no one will ever know." Ivy sang a little more of the song, Zack writing it all down while making it look like he was hiding behind Carmen.

"Will you get her to be quiet?" The woman asked the man with a scowl causing the man to shrug slightly.

"It's not like she can do anything else at the moment. If she wants to lose her mind and sing then let her go nuts. It's not like we need her sane. She just needs to be able to have kids." The man said making Carmen scowl darkly at that, and more than a few people to look horrified.

"It is fine we are twins and I'll be here when they strike! They won't know you're gone all because we look alike!" Ivy called louder, looking disgusted herself but as if she had expected that knowledge.

"Thoren." Zack murmured quietly behind Carmen.

"She's annoying me! Shut her up already!" The woman snapped at the man who just sighed slightly and punched Ivy in the stomach. Carmen growled at that as Ivy winced but didn't cry out in pain.

"The right thing to guide us. Is right here inside us." Ivy sang a different song now as she glanced at the screen.

"What is it you want anyways? There must be a reason you took Ivy, and I doubt it's because you're after me since you didn't know of our marriage." Carmen called trying not to flinch when the guy smacked Ivy across the face again.

"We want our children and country back. Queen-in-training Ivory needs to finish her training and Prince Zechariah is long overdue to start his Royal Guard training, of course given how scrawny he is and his lack of strength he might be better off as a political bargaining chip for our rising kingdom." The woman said making Carmen step further in front of Zack protectively.

"No one can divide us when the light is nearly gone. Just like a heartbeat…the drumbeat carries on!" Ivy sang still making the woman snarl as she whirled around.

"I told you to shut her up!" The woman snarled at the man who sighed and punched Ivy across the jaw, making an audible growl come from Carmen's lips.

"Don't worry Ivy. I'm coming for you." Carmen said staring at her wife who gave her a grin that showed some blood on her teeth from the punch, her lip being busted.

"It was a clue of some kind! Her singing was giving them clues!" The woman snarled finally picking up on what Ivy had been doing and quickly cutting the feed of the video.

Not before Ivy got in the last words stated directly to Carmen.

The ACME agents nearby either blushed or were able to witness seeing Carmen Sandiego turn as red as her signature outfit.

"You always do but you're not even breathing hard yet."
