Prologue

ACME Headquarters, San Francisco, CA, USA

Conference Room

Chief Weller: *as he along with Team ACME members: Jade Ezell, Archie Pelago, Bolt Upright, Chase Devineaux and Lee Jordan* I'm very glad you all are here and Miss Jade, I'm glad Archie contacted you to come here.
Jade: Of course, Chief is there any good news or bad news?

Chief Weller: There is good news, we're having the annual ACME Valentine's Day Party.
Lee: Wait, that's the good news, let us hear the bad news.
Archie: Patience, Detective Jordan, the Valentine's Day is either you bring a date or go stagged.
Jade: Ouch, this could be a problem to find dates *Bolt is blushing at his cellphone* Except for Bolt of course.
Bolt: *stops starting at his cellphone* What?!?!
Chief Weller: *to Bolt* Are you listening to me, Upright?
Bolt: Of course, Chief, I can't wait to ask Parker Wintergreen if she'll be going out with me to this party.

Archie: Bolt, she's already married.
Bolt: Almost married, Archie, she lost her husband to be at the altar.
Archie: What happened to him?
Bolt: Uh, she won't talk about it.
Chief Weller: But she has a son already.
Bolt: I know, she told me about her life and her son, Carter, when we see each other in Mississippi. (Remember Jade's Christmas Adventure 2: Trouble for the Holidays) We haven't seen each other since middle school, oh by the way, Archie *as he shows Archie the picture of Parker Wintergreen on his cellphone* this what she looks like.

Archie: Oh, Bolt!
Chief Weller: That's enough, you two! And well, I've got Jerry Lewis online waiting for us to talk.
Archie: Put him through, Chief. *As Chief Weller activates the screen and there's Jerry Lewis at his pad in Los Angeles, CA, USA*

Jerry: *on screen* Oh hi, Archie, ACME!
Archie: Ah, Jerry, good to hear from you, how's WOOHP?
Jerry: *on screen* Well, everyone, I'm here to tell you that I'm retirement. *Team ACME shocked* Now, now, everyone, I'm not leaving WOOHP, I handover my mission leadership to my daughter, Zerlina. *As he shows Team ACME a picture of Zerlina Lewis: female in her 30s or 40s, tall, dark-skinned, dark brown hair and same-colored eyes*

Chase: *whistled* She's beautiful, Jerry!
Jerry: *on screen* And she's in Singapore along with the girls [Sam/Samantha, Clover and Alex/Alexandra].
Lee: What?!?! I thought they got back to Malibu University.
Jerry: *on screen* Actually, they've been transfer to Asian-International Youth Academy or AIYA for short, however they continue onto the mission along with a gadget expert named Toby. *As he shows ACME a picture of Toby: male in his 20s, black hair, dark brown eyes and dark-skinned*
Lee: What's with that glove, Jerry?
Jade: That's not a glove; Lee it's a bionic arm.
Jerry: *on screen* That's right, Miss Jade.
Jade: So, what are you doing now?
Jerry: I'm just becoming a WOOHP Consultant, well it's time for me to say farewell and good luck on your cases.

Lee: And tell Samantha and her friends, good luck on their missions.
Jerry: I sure will, Detective Jordan, goodbye, ACME!

*As The Chief turns off the screen*

(This is based on the first episode of the seventh season of Totally Spies, English dub and I don't own the information whatsoever)

Chief Weller: Well, I'm glad that's over and now the bad news we learn that some of Carmen's gang members have been entering speed dating events, but there's a twist they're just searching for some dark secrets from their 'date' they chose to go with and give them 'gifts'

Jade: *raising her eyebrows* Gifts?!?! As in stolen items?!?!
Chief Weller: Precisely, Miss Jade and so far, they've been to Brooklyn, Houston and now they're coming here.
Lee: Yeah, thanks to a bartender at Tally's (fictional place) told me that his boss is hosting it tonight.
Jade: So, are we going undercover for this operation?

Chief Weller: I'm afraid not, Miss Jade, a lot of security in that place those VILE Operatives are after mostly the women with dark secrets they hide and found zero so far.
Lee: I bet those VILE Operatives are men disguising as some professional person from different cities.
Archie: We don't know how they got in or finding out of each woman participate in speed dating at least Detective Jordan place hidden cameras there.

Jade: So, let's hope nothing to any woman's secrets to be found out.
Bolt's mind: Uh-oh, I hope Parker didn't go out to look for a date before I do.

Parker's Apartment

Parker's mind: *as Parker opens the closet* After losing the one I loved and raising Carter alone, I hope I'll find the right man here in San Francisco and show me around here. *And Parker saw something familiar to her in the hatbox* It's time to go back to dating scene again, first things first need a new hairstyle for my other self.

Chapter One: An Inside Evidence?!?!


San Francisco, CA, USA

Parker's Apartment (four hours later)


*As her fifteen-year-old son, Carter is read a book about the Hippie Movement on Haight-Ashbury when all of the sudden Parker in a red dress speed into her bedroom without Carter finding out*

Carter: Mom, are you back?
Parker: *voice only* Yes, son, I am.
Carter: What's wrong?
Parker: *voice only* Nothing, is there any word from the Department of Education?
Carter: Mom, all I know is we might end up in a public school here.
Parker: *voice only* Are you joking?
Carter: Talk to Uncle Logan, Mom, some superintendent from the San Francisco Board of Education talk to him when he came out of the kitchen while fixing clam chowder. (I don't own the San Francisco Board of Education whatsoever)
Parker: *voice only* Clam chowder?!?!
Carter: The way Jacques Pepin made it when he worked at the Howard Johnson's. (I don't own anything from Jacques Pepin or Howard Johnson whatsoever) Mom, mom. *Then he hears the water spraying from Parker's bedroom*

Carter's mind: Oh terrific, whatever's wrong with Mom, I hope Mr. Upright figure it out.

ACME Headquarters (the next day)

Director of Operations' Office

Chase: *to Lee* I don't understand, Jordan, why there's no footage from Tally's?
Lee: Look, Chase, I don't know either it happened last night everything went fine so far and then it's gone scratchy all of the sudden. *Someone knocking on Chase's door*
Chase: Come in! *There was Zack Monaghan enters the office* Detective Monaghan, what now?
Zack: Well, Chase, I overheard what Lee says about the footage being scratchy and he's right after Lee installed the hidden cameras around Tally's somehow whoever puts a magnetic field causes us to see what's going on last night.

Shirley: *via Intercom* Director Devineaux, a guy called Mark from Tally's is here.
Chase: *presses the button* Put him in the interrogation room, Shirley.
Shirley: *via Intercom* Yes, sir.

The Interrogation Room

*As the C-5 appears and so did Jade*

Jade: *to Bolt who tries calling Parker on his cellphone* Bolt, what are you doing here? You know you can't call during work.
Bolt: Sorry, I'm just worry about Parker, Miss Jade.
Jade: Well, I've got to listen in. *As she presses the button to listen in the conservation Lee, Chase and a bartender named Mark*

Lee: Alright, Mark, what do you know about what happened last night?
Mark: Well, Detective Jordan, everything is so great last night except one of the ladies who are participating at this year's speed dating.
Chase: Do you know the name of that woman?
Mark: Number 15.
Lee: Fifteen, Director Devineaux said a name, not a number.
Mark: Well, according to my boss her name is Matilda Waltz. *Bolt is shocked and left the Interrogation Room while Jade stays in with the conservation*

Chase: Tell us about that woman.
Mark: There's nothing about her, she never told my boss about her life, anyway all the single guys they never met her until there was six men who came to her.
Lee: Describe those six men.
Mark: *while Jade writes down on the notepad after Bolt left it behind* Well the first one is named Hector, he's from Barcelona, Spain, he said he's a socialite expert?!?! He has a black hair, black eyes and a beret.

Chase: Continue.
Mark: Then the second one is named Seth, he's a talent agent from Hollywood, California, got a big grin, I think and then the third one is named Bert, he's an art curator from Montreal, Canada, all is he has glasses, and a weird nose, do you men want to hear the other three.

Lee: Please, Mark this is important.
Mark: Okay, the fourth one is named Cooper, a jeweler from the Big Apple, has some muscles, then the fifth one is named Kirk, he used to be a sergeant from the Windy City's police department, I notice a headband on his forehead and last, but not least the last one is named Gerald he said he's a school headmaster from Cornwall, England and sort of a gentleman like anyway that's all I found out.

Chase: Look you got us the inside evidence.
Lee: Anything else you know?
Mark: After the speed dating the lady left without saying a word.

Jade's mind: *after Jade finished wrote down the description of the six men mentioned by the bartender* *Gasped* Where did Bolt go? Oh, no he's probably ran off to contact Parker, better find him. *As Jade leaves the Interrogation Room and finds Bolt back in his office*

Jade: Bolt, what's got into you left the interrogation room without listening what's going on last night.
Bolt: *placing his cellphone on his holster belt clip* Nothing, Miss Jade?
Jade: Is there something about a woman named Matilda Waltz?
Bolt: *as he grabs his coat and leaves after closing his door* It's none of your business!
Jade: *as Bolt leaves* Bolt, Bolt! *As Chase and Lee came to Jade*

Chase: Jade, where did Upright go?
Jade: He never told me where he's going? All I know is Bolt is upset about a woman named Matilda Waltz.
Lee: And I thought it was Parker Wintergreen. *Chase head slaps Lee* Ow! Chase! *As Chief Weller and Archie came out of the Chief's office*

Chief Weller: What's going on here?
Archie: And where's Upright?
Jade: I don't know what's going on here and all I know is Bolt just bolted outer here over some woman while I got the description of the six suspects who came last night at Tally's for their annual speed dating from the interview.

Archie: Upright supposes to write it down, not you, Miss Jade.
Jade: Well Bolt left his notepad behind after leaving the interrogation room in shock over a woman named Matilda Waltz.

Chief Weller: That's odd, I wonder what the connection between Upright, Parker Wintergreen and Matilda Waltz?
Lee: I remember Bolt knows Parker since middle school, but he doesn't know about Matilda Waltz unless Matilda is Parker. *Chase head slaps him again* Ow, not again!
Chief Weller: Devineaux
Chase: Sorry, Chief, but Detective Jordan is being suspicion about the woman and Jade, you better find out about the six men describe by the bartender at the file room.

Jade: *as she leaves* On my way and I've figure I know these men are thanks to the bartender.
