For Monday May 5, 2014, around 6:00 p.m.: Today is Cinco de Mayo, a popular holiday in Mexico and the United States, that was started by Mexican-Americans in the American West to champion the cause of freedom during the early years of the American Civil War. It commemorates the Battle of the Puebla, where the Mexican Army, lead by Ignacio Zarzoga Seguin defeated the French forces of Napoleon III.

I decide to celebrate by going to one of the many Mexican restaurants here in San Francisco. I take a quick shower in my office, and put on my White Peasant Blouse (from Victoria's Secret) my Summer Fun Skirt (a pull-on elastic, A-line skirt with lots of ""swing."" Coral (Bright Red) from Soft Surroundings) my Red NuFoot Women's Ballet Barefoot Slippers, and my Men's Rosary Style Necklace (from JC Penny). I pick up my purse, and my 20x69 inches Hunter Green Men's Dakota Scarf, putting it on like a shawl. I leave my office, being very sure to close and lock the door as I go.

I get in my unmarked ACME police vehicle, and go to Tropiseuno at 75 Yerba Lane, avoiding all the crowds on the street in the Mission St. area. This is the first time I have been to this restaurant. But during the daytime, it is a very casual Mexican eatery. But at night, it is a warm, yet very formal full-service restaurant. A hostess comes over and shows me to a table.

She hands me a menu. A waitress comes out. She says,""I am your Server. May I take your order?""
I decide to have Nachos (warm, thin chips, with grilled marinated steak (my choice) beans, melted cheese pico de gello, crema, and guacamole). Even though it a very busy night, Imy food. I enjoy my food. It's been a long time since I had some really good nachos!!


Everything seems uneventful, until my Server comes back to my table a little bit later. She asks me,""How was your food? Is there anything else that I can get you?""
""Yes, It was very good. No, there's there's nothing else that I want now, except to pay for my food."" As I reach into my purse, to take out a major credit card, my Server says,""Oh, no, you don't have to do that. Someone has taken care of it for you.""
I look at the check, and there is a note with it that says,""I'm glad you got out and had a little fun tonight. See you next crime, Agent Justice."" ;)


I say to my Server,""Did you see the person who left this for me? !!""
My server says,""No.""
As I jump up from the table, I leave one of my ACME business cards on it. I run out of the restaurant.
I look everywhere. But once again, The Elusive Carmen Sandiego has just vanished into thin air!!
I say to myself,""Uggghhh!! How does she always do that? !!"" :)

    So... if you were drafting a cast (let's say voice, as if animated, and then, as if live action (preferred)... so do it as "cast/cast") for a potential Carmen movie (big movie... think Fellowship Of The Rings-level big... (assuming someone had a big enough story/script, and could find all the other people)... who would you want?

    I'm working on continuing it, but input would be good. Maybe if it could be finished, maybe it could be printed as a book, or maybe sold as a movie (only for a big amount, and the original author get's a big cut)... if anyone, after reading through that folder (it's a live folder, so updates on my end go live when I save. If you have something to add, stash it someplace and let me know... I'll try to work it in as the story stands.))
