Case Files of Detective Kenneth Cohl

Character File Seven: Where in the World?

Her story begins in New York City, when she was still just a seven year old named Jo Ann Casares; she was kidnapped from her family. They searched all over; Amber alerts went out throughout the city trying to find this girl. Her picture was on the news, in the paper. No matter where you looked, her little blue eyes were looking back at you. After three years, her parents gave up hope on ever seeing their little girl again and with the exception of the "have you seen this child" flyers in the mail; the search for her was over.

What the parents didn't know was that Jo Ann from the moment she was kidnapped, she was no longer in the city; or even the state, her abductor had taken her to Vegas, she was in a dark room with no light, she was terrified and began crying out when suddenly a light appeared, and she could see a man standing in that light. She ran up to this person crying out "daddy" and wrapped her arms around his legs, but once she did, she could tell this person wasn't her father.

"Your daddy isn't here, your mommy and daddy didn't want you anymore and were trying to get rid of you, so I decide to take you in and take care of you, because you will be very precious to me." This man said as he picked her up and carried her away.

Over the course of the next fourteen years, this girl's life was nothing but studying and training, all so she could make the one person in the world that meant everything to her happy, and that would be her father. He brought in the best teachers, and threatened them to teach her everything they possibly could. The best fighters were there to help her train and enhance her fighting techniques. This girl's daily routine was nothing but; study, train, eat, study, train, sleep and then it would start all over again. Eventually she even forgot her own name, and they just started referring to her as Carmen. She would receive a phone call or video message and was sent out on certain missions, those were to either gather information or to just kill someone, she would perform her mission, no questions asked. Then one day her father actually came to talk to her.

"Carmen my dear, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing fine father, I just returned from my last mission."

"I know, and you perform all your missions wonderfully my dear, which is why, I have a new mission for you."

"What is it father?" Carmen asked. "It must be something of great importance for you to actually come in person."

"It is my dear, there is this young man by the name of Kenneth Cohl, he is your age, father is very interested in playing a game with him, so I need you to get close to him, become his friend, be with him, I have weakened his spirit and you shall be there at his side until I decide to crush him and finish him."

"As you command, father."

Shortly after that, Carmen had a house of her own in Zimmerville and started attending the same college as Kenneth worked at, and eventually she bumped into him, got close to him, earned his trust.

She just made herself so irresistible to him; he never had any doubt about her being around. She played her part well, giving her father clues about Kenneth's weaknesses, how close he was to the puzzles, what his daily life was like. She did this all the way until the end, when she died diving in front of her father and taking a bullet through her head that was aimed to kill him. In return, he showed his appreciation for all she had done by pushing her body out of the helicopter as he closed the door to flee.
