Characters Watching Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

( ͡👁️ ͜ʖ ͡👁️)

Tamara isn't too surprised when she's grabbed by the front of her shirt and dragged through the door into the living quarters by a fuming red head. She is surprised however that after being shoved into one of the kitchen chairs she isn't immediately punched in the face.

Carmen stares at the woman in front of her, this woman killed her father. In a moment of cowardice she murdered a man and then used that event to further her career, unaware of the lives she changed and destroyed that day.

"You are a selfish woman." Carmen says surprising Tamara. Of everything that could have been said, that was not what she expected to come out of Carmen's mouth. Before she can respond Carmen continues.

"You don't care about anyone except yourself. If they can't get you ahead they don't matter. Chase is resourceful, he has skills but in the future you just toss him aside. Jules is smart, she has my trust but you can't put your own ego aside long enough for her to use the repour she's already built with me, and it almost gets me killed. Not to mention no matter how many times Zari fails you still trust her despite having no proof she knows better then anyone else." Carmen pauses taking a deep breath.

"Sandiego..."

"No, I'm talking now. You never should have been given control of an organization with so much influence. Twenty years with nothing to show for it. The only time I've seen you in the field and you panicked and killed a man in cold blood. You're a joke. How many more people have you hurt? How many people have suffered because you can't look past your own ego long enough to realize you're not the only one that matters." Carmen says breathing heavily.

"Carmen please let me..."

"I don't want an apology from you. There is nothing you can say that would ever make me even consider forgiving you for what you've done. At least VILE knows they're wrecking lives, they know their evil but you don't seem to realize that all you've done is hurt people. Does it ever keep you up at night?" Carmen asks.

Tamara stares at the young woman in front of her. Does it ever keep her up at night?

"At first... I would see his face in my dreams. I used to think about Dexter Wolfe all the time, wonder what I could have done differently. Over time I told myself that thinking about him wouldn't help me. VILE was out there and Wolfe was dead so I had to focus on what mattered..."

"What mattered? My father's life didn't matter? Did it ever occur to you that he might have a family? Did you ever wonder about the people that might be missing him?" Carmen snaps angrier then before. Neither woman were aware of the the group behind them, watching the pair with concern. Concern for Carmen's emotional wellbeing and Tamara's physical well being.

"VILE was out there. I had to focus on that." Tamara says firmly.

"There is just nothing inside you. Not once, not once have you shown an ounce of remorse for what you did. You say words but there's no emotion behind them. You don't regret what you did to my father do you?

"I regret killing Dexter Wolfe."

"But not because he was a person. You regret losing a possible lead to VILE." Player says. Carmen could see in the woman's eyes that he had hit the nail on the head.

"You disgust me. You have no regard for people unless they have value to you. The reason you haven't been able to track VILE is because you're a terrible leader. ACME will always fail so long as you're in charge." Carmen spits the words in Tamara's face.

Silence follows as Carmen's words sink in. Tamara is furious herself, she was an Interpol agent for years before forming ACME. She had apprehended dozens of criminals in her time, she was not a failure.
