Theme music plays.
Shadowsan: Somewhere in my coat lies a single dollar bill. The coat has many pockets. Locate the target and acquire it... if you can. You have 2 minutes.
"Oh not this again." Carmen groans.
Carmen bows and faces off against him. From the faces in the audience, we see that this is her first year of the academy.
Tigress: Ha! This is going well.
Carmen grows increasingly desperate as she is running out of time.
The timer hits zero. At the same time, Carmen gasps awake to her phone ringing, a symbol of a white baseball cap on the screen.
"Oh its the dream." Player says
Carmen: The coat was empty, wasn't it?!
"Was it?" Gray asks Shadowsan who answers with an intense glare. Gray wisely does not push further
Player: Oh boy... You're having that dream again, aren't you?
Carmen: "Dream" makes it sound like make-believe, Player. This actually happened.
Player: For the best, right, Red? I mean, if you'd actually aced crime school, you might be stealing for VILE instead of from them.
"That would be a real nightmare." Ivy says.
Carmen: For the Villains International League of Evil? Highly doubt that.
Player: So how come failing Shadowsan's final is still bugging you?
She takes a deep breath.
Carmen: I don't know... Maybe because I never got to see where the dollar bill was hiding when the exam was over. I was the best pickpocket in Stealth 101. Way better than Tigress. Guess I just feel like I still have something to prove.
"For what its worth, I believe you've proved yourself beyond a shadow of a doubt." Julia tells Carmen who smiles at the French woman gratefully.
She opens the curtains.
Carmen: Mm, what a view...
We see her view out the window. It's skyscrapers and fog.
"San Francisco?" Gray asks chuckling.
Carmen: Pea soup.
Player: They don't call San Francisco, California "Fog City" for nothing. The fog blows in so often that the locals gave it a name: Karl.
"I was expecting a pun, but somehow Karl is funnier." Player laughs.
Carmen: But when the fog lifts, what a view. The Golden Gate Bridge towers 746 feet above the bay. It's one of the city's iconic landmarks, along with cable cars, the oldest and largest Chinatown in America, and "The Rock": Alcatraz Island, home of the famous prison.
Player: Too bad it hasn't been used to jail criminals since 1963. Since VILE loves hanging out on islands, it would've been the perfect place to lock them up.
"Wouldn't that be nice." Ivy says
Carmen: Until that day comes, I'm happy to keep stealing their money to spend on worthwhile causes, like the Children's Foundation charity auction tonight. A foggy night seems like perfect trench coat weather. But I really should dress for the occasion.
Auctioneer: Going once... going twice... sold for $78,000 to the generous lady in red.
The other attendees applaud.
