Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego!? - m4w - 25 (Closing of Weho Halloween Party)

Missed Connection:

I finally spotted the infamous villainess Carmen Sandiego. It was towards the end of the Weho Halloween Party. Walking west toward Doheny I spotted her! Disguised undercover as a priest, I shouted "Carmen Sandiego!"She turned and I saw her face - her electric gaze, ruby red lipstick and warm smile stopped mecold. However, Carmen is a creature of habit... After uttering a few words, she stunned mewith her sweet lyrical voice. At that exact moment a crowd of party-goers came between us. I turned myhead and she was gone, disappearing into the writhing sea of people flowing out of the party near La Peer.

Carmen, you're no doubt planning another heist somewhere around the globe. Before you leave, this A.C.M.E. detective would love to take you out for drinks to toast the success of your next great caper...


My Response:

Next time I won't wear red.


His Response:

Good! I can finally take you to a bullfight and not worry about your safety.

What WILL you be wearing? And don't say neck brace because we are SO not cleaning that thing afterwards.


My Response:

How dare you think that I'd be the victim in a bullfight. I'm properly trained in the art. That bull would find his horns AND heart smothered by my neckbrace.
