---Where in the world is Sandiego?---

The clock was nearing 12 pm, but Julia Argent couldn't sleep. 

The ACME agent was sitting on her couch in her apartment in Poitiers, France. She was drinking Chamomile tea and looking trough a case file. Julia sighed quietly, her insomnia had gotten worse since Stockholm. And when she actually fell asleep, all her dreams were filled of images of Sandiego dying over and over again.

The case file she was looking trough was old, but it interested her and memories of better times would flood her head.

There was a knock on Julia's balcony door. Which should be impossible since she lived on the top floor, 5 floors up. 

Julia looked towards the sound and saw a silhouette standing there looking out from her balcony and out towards the city. She felt her blood run cold, she recognized the silhouette. How could she not? That same fedora and coat that she hadn't seen in three months.

She scrambled to her feet and hurried over to the balcony glass door, not believing her own eyes. As she opened the door, the figure turned around. Dark brown eyes met grey eyes.

"Long time no see Jules" Carmen Sandiego said.

Julia hurried over and hugged Carmen tightly, which surprised the both of them. Carmen stumbled backwards but hugged her back.

"O-oh uhm... I missed you too?" Carmen said chocked.

Julia let her go and punched her arm.

"I thought you died!" Julia burst out.

"Why would you think tha- are you crying?" Carmen softened when she saw her friend cry, if you could still call them friends after what had happened around three months ago.

Julia slowly reached up with her hand and touched her cheek, she was in fact crying. She quickly wiped her own tears away.

"I- why would I think you died? Oh I don't know, maybe because you disappeared for three months after you were harmed severely!" Julia said harshly.

"You didn't think I got medical attention? After escaping ACME HQ?" Carmen asked.

"At first I did... but after two months of you not a single sight of you... and I..." Julia stopped talking since she couldn't find the right word to explain it.

"You started to get worried for me... why? It was your trap after all, I- I shouldn't even be here after your betrayal" Carmen told her and started to fidget with something inside her coat pocket.

"I didn't- I-... Ms. Sandiego, ACME didn't tell me about the trap. Chief told me that I would get to talk to you, alone. Without ACME showing up and... hurting you" Julia rambled.

"She doesn't trust you" Carmen said.

Julia nodded.

"I do not trust Chief either... and she do not trust me" Carmen said.

"This is really dangerous for us"

"It is... if ACME or VILE see us at least" 

"Would you-... Would you like to come in? I could make you some tea" Julia asked.

"Sure... you must be freezing out here Jules" Carmen said and looked pointedly at the t-shirt Julia was wearing.

"Come in then, or you will have to warm me up if I turn into a ice-cube" Julia joked and opened the door for the master thief.

"Welcome to my humble abode" Julia said dramatically. 

"Pourquoi merci" Carmen said and bowed her head with a smile.

After a small silence Carmen spoke up again.

"Quoting Tyler P Love on me?" Carmen asked.

"Of course Ms. Sandiego" 

"You can call me Carmen, Jules" She said and sat down on Julia's cream colored couch.

"Okay Ms- Carmen, Okay Carmen... Black or Chamomile?" Julia asked from the kitchen as she but on her electrical kettle.

"Black tea, s'il vous plaît" Carmen answered before looking down at the case file that was laying on the coffee table.

When Julia entered again, holding two cups of tea, she found the red clad thief looking trough the file.

"You already know everything in there" Julia said and sat down next to Carmen.

"It's interesting reading this from ACME's perspective" Carmen said with a smirk.

"It is, you know.. Devineaux and I was recruited to ACME some hours after you stole... what did you even steal?" Julia asked, memories from the first day they met flooded her head.

"An important link to my past..." Carmen admitted.

"Oh"

Carmen continued too look trough the file in silence while Julia sipped her tea quietly. The silence wasn't awkward, no the silence was nice. But Julia felt a need to break it.

"So uhm... Carmen, what have you been up to these past three months? Besides recovering of course" 

"To be honest Jules, I've been bored out of my mind. Sha- someone placed me on house arrest and didn't allow me anywhere near the Gym" Carmen huffed and pouted like a child.

Julia noted Carmen's slip up. 'So she isn't working alone', Julia thought.

"Glad to be back in action?" Julia asked and handed Carmen her tea.

Carmen whispered a small thank you and took a small sip before answering Julia's question.

"Well yes, the world would not be the same without Carmen Sandiego!" Carmen said with a big grin.

Under Carmen's hard exterior, she was just a soft and happy human being that acted like a child from time to time. The thief wasn't evil, sure she did steal, but she was more like Robin Hood. Stealing back things from VILE. Julia was glad that she was one of the people that had seen this side of Carmen.

"That is true, mon ami" Jules said.

"What have you've been up to while I was gone, Jules?" Carmen asked and looked over at the shorter detective.

"... I've kind of just thrown myself into my work" 

"Jules- you gotta take care of yourself!" Carmen said and grabbed Julia's hands.

Julia was chocked that Carmen cared about her. But Carmen would never stop to surprise her.

"Devineaux made sure I took care of myself, it was kinda annoying but he's well intended" 

"Hmm that is good.... tell me, is his ban over?" Carmen asked with a humorous glint in her gorgeous eyes.

"He is allowed to drive again... and no cars have been underwater in some months, due to me being his 'baby sitter'" 

"I take it that you aren't happy about being a baby sitter?"

"YES! He's a grown man- I shouldn't have to be his baby sitter, merde" Julia burst out.

"Didn't know you could swear" Carmen teased her.

Julia crossed her arms and huffed.

"Don't be surprised, La Femme Rouge" Julia said and tried to make her voice sound like Devineaux while saying La Femme Rouge.

Carmen snorted.

The pair continued to talk late into the night, at some point Julia fell asleep. And when she woke up, Carmen was gone but she left a note on her coffee table.

'it was nice catching up with you Jules, see you around. -you know who'  Was written in red ink.
