《LA FEMME ROUGE》ACME
Advertisement
Chief's POV
This new thief, this La Femme Rouge, she reminds me of Carmen Sandiego.
I have nightmares every night since we considered her legally dead.
Even though she hacked into our mainframe, Carmen Sandiego died so young.
ACME was meant to arrest her, not kill her.
For the past year, I've been mourning Carmen Sandiego's death as well as Dexter Wolfe's death.
Dexter Wolfe was another story.
21 years ago I shot him, in fear that he had a weapon.
But it was only his car keys.
Then the goddamn mansion we tracked him to caught on fire.
For why, we're still not sure.
But I have two regrets.
Carmen Sandiego.
Dexter Wolfe.
I might seem like a villain to anyone else.
However, people who think of me like that, don't consider that I'm haunted by my past decisions.
Most nights, I wake in fright from nightmares.
Those nightmares being my choices.
This new person, La Femme Rouge, I hope we can capture her alive.
Ironically, Carmen Sandiego had that as a nickname from Agent Devineaux.
Even if I wanted to believe it, I don't think that Carmen and La Femme Rouge are the same person.
I think La Femme Rouge is only copying Carmen Sandiego.
La Femme Rouge uses guns, luckily they only shoot tranquilizer darts.
That, and La Femme Rouge takes jobs for V.I.L.E.
A couple days ago, a security guard was knocked unconscious and a precious gold statue was stolen.
It was recovered on the LAPD's doorstep.
Considering Carmen's team still carries on without her, I'd bet that they managed to steal the statue from La Femme Rouge.
We still tried to catch them, however, they weren't exactly our top priority.
V.I.L.E. is.
And La Femme Rouge signed her own arrest warrant when she joined them.
She could've returned the statue, but we won't know until we catch her.
I want to see who's behind that mask.
It's the million dollar question.
And I got millions of dollars in resources to catch her.

Nobody's Way
Foreign Thorn: Book 1 For eight centuries, the people of Isla have wanted for nothing. The Creator, Maere, uses Her power not only to keep them healthy and fed, but also to map the direction of each person's future Path - their vocation, role in society, and even the partner they'll spend their life with. In a world where infighting once threatened the very survival of humankind, the old texts say that Maere personally stepped in to help guide Her creations to harmony. All is not well among the people of the northern lands, however, as Jian discovers when she receives her own long-awaited Path. The Creator has chosen to favour some towns, but not others, leading to anarchy and unrest in the east, and fierce distrust between the neighbours who enjoy Her protection and those who don't. After many nights of disturbing premonitions, visions of a face uncannily familiar to her, and a voice beckoning her to "Homeland," Jian decides she needs to find answers for herself. She hires Madrigal, a surly young traveller hailing from an "unblessed" village, to take her to the southern lands. The swordsman is on the run from something, or someone, but Jian has no choice but to trust him. When the two leave the safety of the familiar and meet Quinn, a mysterious boy who seems to know more about Jian than she does about herself, it becomes clear that there are forces besides the old magics, forces completely unknown to the people of Isla, in play. Madrigal and Jian aren't sure if Quinn can be trusted, but they're certain he knows more than he's letting on...
