Before they became enemies, Carmen Sandiego and Graham—once known to her as Gray—had been inseparable partners at V.I.L.E. Academy, two prodigies whose rivalry carried a spark neither could ignore. She was sharp, disciplined, and driven by purpose; he was charming, reckless, and impossible not to fall for. They challenged each other constantly, turning every mission into a game of wit and tension that bordered on flirtation. But when Carmen left V.I.L.E. to fight against its corruption, Graham stayed behind, feeling betrayed by the girl who had once been his match. Years later, fate pulled them back into each other’s orbit—Carmen, the world’s most elusive thief, and Graham, the ACME agent tasked with catching her. Every chase became a battle of hearts as much as skill, their teasing banter masking the truth they both refused to admit: they weren’t just enemies—they were each other’s weakness.
