Fan Fic: Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?

You wander the streets of the French Quarter, a famous neighborhood in downtown New Orleans. The oldest and most historic neighborhood in the city, many buildings in the French Quarter today were built in the 18th century. Even when it's not Mardi Gras season, the Quarter remains a popular tourist destination. Stores sell souvenirs, such as beads and hats, while bars offer unique local drinks such as the Hurricane and Hand Grenade. The area's restaurants are also a big draw, including Brennan's and Emeril Lagasse's NOLA Restaurant.

You ask a nearby street performer if he has seen Sue Aside.

"All I know is that something suspicious is going on in town," says the street performer, when a gunshot suddenly rings out!

Everyone ducks. Three policemen standing half a block away look around. So do you.

Standing in an alley is none other than Sue Aside! And she has a gun pointed at you.

"Get her!" yell the police. They all run toward Sue Aside.

Sue Aside lowers her gun and runs away. Right in your direction.

As she is about to run right past you, you stick out a foot. She trips over your foot and lands face first on the sidewalk. The police catch up to Sue Aside, slap handcuffs on her, and take her away in a police car.

ACME agents later find the World Cup sitting in the alley where Sue Aside was hiding. They pack it in a box with styrofoam peanuts and return the World Cup to the grateful citizens of South Africa.



You receive a high-five and congratulations from Greg Lee.

"Great job Gumshoe. You helped put Sue Aside behind bars and returned the World Cup to South Africa- and just in time to boot. Before we go back to ACME Headquarters, let's talk to Sue Aside and see if we can get any information out of her that can help us catch Carmen Sandiego's gang."

You and Greg Lee visit Sue Aside in jail.

"Alright, Gumshoe," says Greg Lee just before you enter Sue Aside's cell. "Just let me do all the talking. I'm pretty good at this kind of thing."



Before Greg can open his mouth, Sue Aside blurts, "Alright I'll tell you everything- please, just help me get outta here! I can't stand another day in jail. Everything in here's filthy, the other inmates are all disgusting and rude, and worst of all the guards all think I'm crazy. Please! I'm begging you- put a good word in to the judge for me so he'll give me probation instead of a jail sentence."

"Well, what do you know?" asks Greg Lee.

"The word on the street is, one of Carmen Sandiego's most charismatic thieves, Connor Tist, recently pulled off a big heist up in Chicago," Sue Aside says. "He took the loot to the smallest country in the world. He said he wanted to visit the home of the Pope. Oh, and this country is also completely surrounded by Italy. That's all I know...."

"That's it. Visiting hours are over," booms a corrections officer.

"Wow- I was even better at this than I thought!" Greg Lee says as you leave. His cell phone rings. Greg answers.

"Uh-huh. Mmm-hmm. Yep. Uh-huh. Yeah. OK, Chief," says Greg Lee. He turns to you.

"OK. The higher ups at ACME have some new information for you," Greg Lee says. "Here's a teleconference call from the Chief."
