"Where is everyone and Carmen?" Charlotte asked as she looked around the base. "Charlie.. I think you need to hear this." Immediately, Nica clicked on the TV and had Charlotte look at it. She watched as her confused face turned into one of pure shock and horror. "No.. not my Carmen, not her!" That was then she broke down, fighting hysteria as she mourned for the woman she had fallen for. "I'm so sorry, Lottie.. you don't deserve this. So.. what do you plan to do now?" Asked Nica as she watched Charlotte's face turn from shock and horror to anger.

"Simple: I'M. GETTING. MY. WOMAN. BACK. I gave ACME a warning, and yet they did not heed it!" Her eyes were glittering with unshed tears and her lips curled into a frown. Her anger was going to be scorching yet freezing to all those that dared to separate Carmen and herself from each other. Nica shivered out of pure fear for her sister as the woman turned to her, a calm yet terrifying look settled in her eye. "Do you know where in ACME she's being kept in, along with her henchmen and my niece?" She asked.

"I had Francesca look for her in one of the prison cells, apparently she is being kept in cell block A1 with the others." A small hum escaped the singer as she rummaged through her wardrobe, instantly finding a black dress. She threw the garment onto her bed and looked out the window. "What's the plan?" Asked Nica as Charlotte smirked. "Brother, I need you to contact Eddie's big sister, Edith and ask her to be our getaway driver with her car. Michelle, you map out any possible escape routes we can use. Jessica, you hack the system to free the woman I love and the others. I'll be the bait to get ACME's attention."

They all reviewed the plan as they scattered like bugs, knowing that the plan was going to commence during the night so people wouldn't get suspicious. Charlotte stood on the balcony with a glass of St. Regis Shiraz Rose, a non-alcoholic wine in between her fingers. Her eyes were deep in sadness and hatred as she took a sip of her wine. She didn't think that ACME would stoop so low as to imprison the woman whom she had loved and her cronies.. she swallowed the rest of her wine in one gulp as she placed it on the tray she had and her shadow servant, whom she called 'Amaris' took it away, hating seeing her mistress this upset.

Amaris went back to her mistress and wrapped her shadowy arms around her in a comforting manner as Charlotte sighed. "Thanks for trying, Ami.." she said, her voice unusually soft yet broken. She hated seeing Charlotte like this.. she wished she could do more to make at least one of her mistresses smile again, but as she knew the woman very well, nothing made her smile rather seeing the other mistress in red and she was imprisoned, making Charlotte broken and her angry. "Don't worry, ma'am, you'll get the woman you fell for back tonight." She said, seeing a small smile crack through her lips before it faded back into a frown.

The shadow felt the singer's hatred towards ACME grow like a flame. That was then, Amaris decided to empower her voice with a spell that would temporarily cause the people she wanted to let them hear fall asleep and would wear off in the morning. When they woke up, they will wonder what happened and when they remembered what happened, they would go about their business. Charlotte smiled when her shadow gave her the spell to make people fall asleep when she sang. It was just the thing to save Carmen and get her 'family' back. She hugged the shadow version of herself in gratitude as the shadow woman hugged back.

That night, Charlotte was lacing up her black dress and looked at herself in the mirror.

She slipped on a pair of black heels with golden ankle bracelets as she placed golden strands in her dark hair, adding a touch of golden eyeshadow and black lipstick. She smirked, her eyeshadow glowing in the soft moonlight. "Let's go save my lover." She said, leaving her room and went into the black limousine that was roomy yet large inside. "Ready?" Asked Edith as she looked towards the Ray siblings. "Yep!"

"Carmen's important to my little sister. If someone takes what belongs to her.. they are fucking declaring war on Charlie. I know her like the back of my hand, Ed. She will stop at nothing to get back what is hers."

Edith started the engine and drove to the place where Carmen was being kept in. Anger was surging through the woman's veins as she was trying to keep herself calm enough so she didn't kill the agents inside. Once they arrived, Charlotte stepped out of the car. "Keep the engine running and get ready to punch it, Edith." She said, looking over her left shoulder with a small smile. Charles could see the hatred glowing inside of her electric blue orbs. She opened the door of the agency and smirked. "C-Charlotte!" Ann said, jumping out of her chair to look at the singer. Charlotte scoffed, looking at her with coldness.

Dee was feeling the temperature drop as Charlotte looked.. furious? Rock stepped over to her and tried to hug her, but she slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me. I just came for a simple matter." She said, with a deep smirk. "And that is?" Renee had a feeling something was going to happen as Charlotte started laughing. "Oh, just the simple matter of taking away someone that belongs to ME. You took the one person I warned you not to take away, now.." her eyes glowed a onyx color like tar with glowing electric blue irises. "You will pay the price for what you have done!" She then started to sing.

Charlotte: "I know you. I walked with you once upon a dream~ I know you.. that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam~"

She chuckled slightly, sighing softly and cleared her throat, letting the words flow from her lips.

"Needles prick and your thread of life is finally cut.. the weaver sighs her final breath, this fairytale done, story shut."

"Charlotte.. what happened to you? Where's that sweet girl my brother used to know?" Asked Dee as She smirked, her eyes drifting towards her.

"I know her, a girl full of joy and light and hope. Once she was happy and whole, her life full of love and laughter~. That girl's DEAD, she died long ago, laid in the ground. Now she's lost, It seems another must be found. Assigned a task to carry on, It's my final song~ Sleep now, ACME and dream in the dark evermore~! Sands run out, say your last goodbyes, for now; the last laugh is mine~! I know you..~"

The agents one by one fell asleep as Charlotte looked satisfied with her work. "Shows what you know." She said, scoffing slightly as she kicked the foot of Helen Hywater, walking to the thief in red with her hips swaying with the grace of an angel. "I'm busting you out of here, hon." She whispered, unlocking the door of her cell as she and the others left the agency. "How the hell'd you do that?" Asked Bugs Zapper as Charlotte smiled. "I learned a little bit of voodoo spells thanks to Chucky, my big brother." She said, pointing to her brother. "Now, Come on! I don't know how long that spell will last." She added as they all got in.

Bugs started flirting with Edith as she flirted back, causing Charlotte to giggle and Charles to roll his eyes with a smile. Carmen wrapped her arm around her girlfriend's waist, lips close to her ear. "Thanks for saving us, sweetheart~" she whispered, watching as Charlotte shivered happily. She caressed her soft fair skin and kissed her. Carmen never thought, In a million years, she would be dating the sister of a infamous serial killer who was a singer.

She now knew love can certainly change you, for better or worse. For her, it was perfect.. seeing Charlotte up on stage was always pleasant.. with that kind of voice, she could die a happy thief, knowing the love for that woman was hers and hers alone.
