Tigress's POV

After I killed Carmen....

I took six months off.

They allowed me to.

I have a heavy feeling in both my heart and my stomach.

It was an accident.

V.I.L.E. told me it wasn't my fault.

But it was.

I started going on capers again.

But this time I wasn't my usual sarcastically jerky self.

I was more my too-shy-to-talk-to-you-unless-you-were-an- ally self.

At least it couldn't get worse.

Me, Paper Star, El Topo, and La Chevre were walking into the meeting room where the heads of the league were.

When I slightly opened the door...

"SHE DID WHAT? WHAT!?" Shouted Coach Brunt.

Oh good.

They're pissed.

When we entered we saw that they were fuming.

"We want all four of you to go after someone." Said Dr. Maelstrom. "She calls herself La Femme Rouge."

"The Red Woman?" Asked La Chevre.

"Yes." Said Maelstrom. "She borrowed the name from our dear departed Black Sheep. She also burrowed from her style. And she's robbing us in the same way."

Me, Paper Star, El Topo, and La Chevre all looked at each other.

"She also robbed us of 1 million dollars." Said Countess Cleo. "We paid it for a golden statue, the one she never delivered."

We gasped.

Who'd be be crazy enough to take money from V.I.L.E. and then betray them?

"We require that you bring her to us." Said Coach Brunt. "Alive. And try to bring her here in good condition so that I myself can break her."

"Why don't we get Carmen's team to fight her?" Asked La Chévre.

I hit him on the shoulder.

"You may leave now." Said Professor Maelstrom.

We nodded and left the room.

This person stole a nickname from Carmen?

They're copycatting Carmen?

I might've been a jerk to Carmen, but I still loved her.

Even when she betrayed V.I.L.E.

Even after she became Carmen Sandiego.

I secretly had a crush on her during our schooling in V.I.L.E. Academy.

Carmen was like family to me.

Carmen, Crackle, El Topo, La Chévre, and even Paper Star were like family to me.

Even more family to me than my biological family.

But Carmen is dead and Crackle is gone.

And Right now, this poser is cashing in on Carmen.

La Femme Rouge will pay!

Nothing personal.

Just vengeance.
