Continuation from last wisdom
Outside from the internal airport, Viper was standing by the corner of the street, waiting for someone that was meant to pick up. Usually she had no problem using her car, and drive to the museum, but she remember during her conversation with Carmen Pondiego that she was going to pick her up with one of her agent that work for her.. Viper look around the street to see if the car she was there, but so far all she see was people being pick up from the airport, and several cabbies waiting for escort. Viper was thinking about the heist she was about to do with Carmen, and she starting to have second thoughts about it. She know that Carmen only care about stealing the Dragon Ball that Jackie research team were able to find, and leave, but deep inside her heart that this is her boyfriend big break, and she doesn’t want anything bad happened to him. While her mind was thinking of what she going to do next, she heard a car horn a few times that caught her attention. At first she thought it was just one of the cabbie that was bothering her, but she notice a red limousine that park right next to her. Viper was shock to see a limousine was right next to her, but never saw it drove by before. She look at the limousine for a moment, until she saw a door opening from the driver seat. Viper see a guy with orange hair walk up to her, but this person was a bit out of the ordinary. She look at his face to see what he look like, but his face was cover with sunglasses and a cap. Viper wasn’t sure what he was going to do, but she notice that the guy was asking her name.
Mysterious guy: are you the human woman that go by the name Viper?
Viper: yes that me, who is asking?
Mysterious guy: before I give you the answer, I need to ask you one thing. Do you believe in mystical creatures, and magic?
Viper: Mister! I been through a lot of weird things helping out a pacific family that are huge magnet to magic, and demons all the time. So if you going to try to scare me, you best try harder.
Mysterious guy: *he laugh* very well then, I guess you’re alright to see the real me.
Viper wasn’t sure wasn’t sure what the mysterious guy said, until she saw him walk back a few step from her. He remove his glasses and able to see his green eyes, but the eyes themselves weren’t human. Next thing she know it, the guy body shape started to change, and alter into a bug like pony with a horn. Viper was lost in words, wasn’t sure what to say next. The bug like creature look at Viper and started to laugh, liking how every time he able to shock people like that. Before Viper able to find the words she need to say to him, another voice came out of nowhere, but this voice was familiar to her. She look at the end of the limousine and see a women with a red hat peeking out from the window. The bug like creature knew that his boss was about to lose her patient with him, so he had to quit playing with Viper, and have her in the car.
Marehem: *he laugh* sorry about startle you like that miss, I tend to trick people like that all the time. The Marehem by the way.
Viper: Viper, and you not need to worry, I’m very use to seeing things that out of the ordinary all the time. It just I never seen someone like you before. What are you exactly?
Marehem: I’m a changeling Miss Viper, but that all I’m going to say. There are some thing you don’t want need to know very much. Now then Miss Viper, I best have you inside right now, before my boss lose her temper on me.
Carmen Pondiego: a little too late Marehem, because I was getting tired waiting for you to finish your little game, M.
Marehem: come on Red, can’t a guy have a little fun messing with human once awhile. I rarely go to the human world very often.
Carmen Pondiego: there are many good reason why you can’t go to the human world anymore, M. But I’m going to save this talk another time, right now we have an important mission, and we are on the clock.
Marehem: very well then, do you still want me to escort Miss Viper in the car?
Carmen Pondiego: I do that myself, just get inside and be ready to go.
Marehem: But
Carmen Pondiego: two words M. Wood Chipper.
Marehem didn’t said another word, and do what his boss said. Once he got in the car, Carmen sigh to herself wondering how she deal with him for so long, and yet still work for her. She look back to Viper, and did her best to apology about her assistant behavior.
Carmen Pondiego: I do apology for M behavior Viper, he tend to have a little fun when messing with humans like that, but he is a nice guy once you get to know him.
Viper: it no problem Carmen, I have a habit to mess with people head when they first me the first time. Have to admit, I never seen someone like him before.
Carmen Pondiego: well you don’t really see changeling like him around the human world, especially most of us are from Equestria.
Viper: Equestria! What is that?
Carmen Pondiego: Equestria is a special place where ponies, and creature’s live in harmony, or something like that. There is more detail about it, but it would take a whole day to explain it to you.
Viper: thanks, I would have been board halfway is you did, but if you are from that world, why bother coming to the human world all the time.
Carmen Pondiego: simple really, it a lot more fun here. The human have better artifact to track down, less magic defenses to deal with, and the location of fancy restaurant I do like.
Viper: well I can’t blame you for some of things you said, but I sense there something else that made you want to come to the human world very often.
Carmen Pondiego: well there are two reason really. One is personal, and the other, you might know him already.
Viper: know who already?
Carmen Pondiego: you and Jackie may know him as Thomas the writer, well Thomas is actually an old friend of mine.
Viper: …….. Hold on a second, you knew Thomas the writer, and you never mention this before?
Carmen Pondiego: well you never bother to ask me Viper, and beside, this is the first time you seeing me, and learning a little bit where I came from.
Viper: that true, it just felt a little weird the very person that been my rival in thievery, is actually a pony from another world.
Carmen Pondiego: I would like to be known as a unicorn please. When a human said pony like that, it make me want to slap them on the face, and your too cute slap for me to do that.
Viper: *she blush* um, thank you I guess.
Carmen Pondiego: now then, if that all you needed to ask me Viper, can we get in the limousine and head for the museum. I want to get there as soon as possible, before they raises the security at the place.
Viper: oh you won’t need to worry about that. I actually have a friend who did some favor for me from the past. My cellphone have a special function to cut off any security system in a ten mile radius, which give you, and your friend to get inside without a problem.
Carmen Pondiego: Clever girl. There a reason why I want you to join me on this mission.
Viper: well you made an offer I couldn’t refuse, but remember our deal though.
Carmen Pondiego: I’m a mare of my word, Viper. There will be no harm on your boyfriend, M and I will be in the area to stop any kind of danger that will come on our way.
Viper: you think there will be a great threat to deal with?
Carmen Pondiego: Maybe, especially when the museum donor gave them a lot of money for that artifact, they might send someone to double check for any problem. But I could be wrong, and it nothing at all.
Viper: well if you think things be alright, let do this then.
Marehem: hey, if you two done talking, I would like to get there, before I lose my mind of boredom.
Carmen Pondiego: what happen to the handheld game I lent you, before we got here?
Marehem: the only game that came with it was Tetris, and already board after beating it a few dozen times.
Carmen Pondiego: Sigh, then I guess we have to go, before you started nagging of being board.
Marehem: first of all, I don’t always nag. I only nag when things get boring.
Carmen Pondiego: whatever make you feel happy, M?
Viper laugh to herself after seeing how funny Carmen and her friend Marehem bicker with each other. Viper was thinking about the time when bicker with her for being a thief, which she always tell him that she was a formal thief. Part of her already know that she going to break her promise to Jackie, and Jade that she wasn’t going to steal anymore, but Carmen told she only care about getting the Dragon Ball, and Viper be in the clear. While Viper was thinking to herself, she notice that Carmen was calling her name, letting her know that they were ready to go. Viper head inside the back of the limousine, and they were off to the museum.
While at the Museum of National of history, inside one of the research room, Jackie was studying one of the Dragon Ball from his archeological dig site. During his examination, Jackie was impress of how the Dragon Ball still have it shine, while burring inside a sunken ship for many years. When he stop looking at the Dragon Ball, Jackie look at his notes for some of the information he had written from learning about the Dragon Balls from old scrolls. So far he learned that they were some kind of ancient artifact that someone grant people wishes, after they summon an old dragon from the Dragon Balls. He also learn that in order to gain a single wish, you must gather all seven in order for it to work. Jackie sigh to himself, knowing that he got himself into something weird again. Usually he never attract supernatural stuff, but it always bond to find him. Jackie step away from his desk for a moment, just to get stretches his legs. Before he walk away, he grab something from one of the desk draw, which he kept hidden from anyone else to know about it. Jackie grab what look like a small black box, he smile when he look at it, knowing that the person he going to give it to, will like it a lot. While looking at the black box for a few minutes, Jackie heard someone was knocking at his door. Normally someone knocking at his door wasn’t weird, but most of his people he work with went home early, and he was the only person at the museum. Jackie heard the knocking again, which force him to see who it was. Once he reach the door, Jackie turn the doorknob, and open the door. From there, Jackie saw a bovine women wearing an officer uniform, and an eye patch covering her right eye was standing in front of him. At first, Jackie would have been surprised to see her appearance, but after dealing with a friend who was a talking pony, it was a normal thing to him. The bovine women stare at, Jackie with her one good eye, then speak to him in a professional way.
Elizabeth Redfield: greeting good sir, are you happen to be Jackie Chan?
Jackie Chan: yes that me, and who might you be?
Elizabeth Redfield: *she gently bow to him* my name is Elizabeth Redfield, I’m the mysterious donor personal secretary. Is it possible I can come in, and speak with you?
Jackie Chan: oh of course you can *he open the door to let Elizabeth in* I wasn’t inspecting anyone to come here this late at this hour.
Elizabeth Redfield: my apology. My client wanted me to come here to check up on the ancient artifact that you, and your research team had found. At first I told my client to see if come by in the morning, but they insisted to come here at once.
Jackie Chan: well normally I don’t have anyone come here this late at night, but since your client was nice enough to donate a lot of money for the museum, I don’t see why not.
Jackie escorted Elizabeth, and walk her over to his desk. From there, Jackie show her one of the Dragon Ball he was examine at. Elizabeth was amaze of how wonderful it look, which part of her wanted to pick it up to examine it closer. Jackie grab one of the pair of gloves he had on the side, and grab the Dragon Ball. He show the artifact to her.
Jackie Chan: as you can see, my research team and I were able to find one of these Dragon Ball from an underwater abandon ship. I had to admit, I’m still surprised how good condition they are in.
Elizabeth Redfield: they look marvelous, but were you able to find the rest of the Dragon Ball?
Jackie Chan: not quite yet. We thought we had them all, but after reading a little more about these things, there are a least seven of them, and we going to need more time to find them all.
Elizabeth Redfield: I see, and by chance, were you able to locate the others yet?
Jackie Chan: almost, I just need more time to read the captain old journal, and see if it had any information about them, and that will take time.
Elizabeth Redfield: …. Sigh, very well then. I was sort of hopping that you would have all the dragon balls, but at least my client would know that you retrieve one of them. I’ll let my client know to send the museum more funding to get them all, at once.
Jackie Chan: actually, the funding your client send us is enough to last us for a little while. He didn’t need to *before he could finish his sentence, Elizabeth stood in front of him, with her one good eye*
Elizabeth Redfield: listen here, Mr. Chan. My client is very keen on wanting these Dragon Balls to be find. I know you, and the rest of team have several other research, but the Dragon Ball must be your high priority. Do I make myself clear?
Jackie Chan: …. Gulp, crystal clear.
Elizabeth Redfield: excellent, and my apology for my reaction, Mr. Chan. I tend to take my job too seriously
Jackie Chan: it’s no problem at all. You’re not the first women to yell in front of me. But any case, I make sure that my team, and I will put a lot of effort of finding the other *just before he could finish his sentence, Jackie check his pocket and notice that his cellphone went off*
Elizabeth Redfield: is something a matter Mr. Chan?
Jackie Chan: nothing big, it just someone is trying to text me *he look at his phone* oh! It look like I have to go for a second. Someone I personally know is here.
Elizabeth Redfield: is it one of your coworker that work here?
Jackie Chan: not really, I could say more, but I need to get going. You can stay here for a moment, until I get back.
Elizabeth Redfield: fare enough Mr. Chan. I’ll wait here when you get back.
Jackie nodded to her, and step out from the office for a second. Part of him know that he shouldn’t leave her like that, especially when he had the artifact on his desk. The text message he had was from Viper, and she was inside the museum. Jackie wanted to catch her quick, and ask her something very important.
Somewhere at the other side of the museum, Viper was standing around by the exhibit of spies. Viper at some of the old artifact that famous spies use over the years, she even stood by a black leather suit that once wore by a famous female double, which her true identity haven’t been known yet. Viper look at the suit, and was impress how it would look on her. While her mind was occupied of looking at the suit, she gotten a call from Carmen, and joke around with her a bit.
Carmen Pondiego: you know, Viper if you wanted that outfit, I can easily steal it for you later.
Viper: hmm very tempting, but I’m going to pass on the offer. I still promise, Jackie that I’m going clean on stealing things.
Carmen Pondiego: I understand that my dear. It not that easy to be in a relationship, especially when you to balance being a master thief who run an organization, and a mother of two at the same time.
Viper: Oh! I didn’t know you’re a mother?
Carmen Pondiego: I try my best to not talk about my personal life while I’m working. I have a tendency to talk about some embarrassing thing my children do.
Viper: *she laugh* and I’m guessing both your kids are professional thief like you?
Carmen Pondiego: not really. My daughter Adora is an archaeologist like your boyfriend, and my son does some minor work like his father. Sure part of me would be happy to have them continue my work, but the same time.
Viper: you want them to have better life being normal, then fallowing a mother who a master thief.
Carmen Pondiego: Exactly!
Viper: I have the feeling you would say that. I felt the same way when, Jackie ask me out on a date. I thought it was going to be hard at first, but over time we seeing each other more, and feeling much closer.
Carmen Pondiego: that the same sign with me, and my husband. I to do your best to keep that feeling with him, Viper.
Viper: don’t need to tell me twice. I best get ready, I hear some foot step from a distance.
Carmen Pondiego: fare enough, I continue walking down from where I am and.
Before she could finish her sentence, Viper lost communication with Carmen, after the line went blank. Viper tried to call her back, but no sign from her at all. Viper was plan to see if she could search for her, but she stop when a familiar voice was calling her name. She look and saw, Jackie was running towards, after running through the hallway to get to her. Viper was happy to see him, which made her wanted to give him a hug. Instead, she made a sarcastic joke that made her chuckle a little.
Viper: it look like someone been slacking off on their training. Someone like you should have easily run through those hallways without any problems.
Jackie Chan: *breathing heavily* give me a break, Viper. Ever since they gave me this new position, I barely have time to train every day.
Viper: *she laugh* I know that, Jackie, but you know that I can’t help myself to pull your leg all the time.
Jackie Chan: *he laugh* yeah that is true, and I tend to pull your leg for doing something good for a change.
Viper: the only reason why I’m doing “Good Things” is because I’m keeping a promise with someone I love with.
Jackie Chan: *he laugh again* yeah that true, and I thank you for keeping that promise.
Viper: of course, Jackie. Ever since you first ask me on a date, I want to do my best to be a great girlfriend for you.
Jackie Chan: and you have, Viper. But the funny thing with that, you had the opportunity to say no, and continue with your life as a thief.
Viper: I would have, but I guess I wanted something a little different in my life, then just stealing valuable items all the time.
Jackie Chan: and I’m guessing I was that something to change your life.
Viper: in the beginning not really, but after being together with you for a few years now, I feel like my life is almost complete. *she place her hand by her heart* but something else is missing, and I’m not sure what it was.
Jackie was trying to figure what she meant, but part of him already know what it was. He check his pocket to make sure the gift he gotten for her was there, but had to wait for the right time. He look up to, Viper and speak with her some more.
Jackie Chan: I may not be an expert on love like Jade, but I would understand how you feel.
Viper: believe me, Jade may think she know what love is like, but she still have a lot to learn. Any case, tell me what you trying to say.
Jackie Chan: you remember my friend, Thomas the writer, who use to live our world.
Viper: yes, I still remember him. He had a daughter named Dashie, and they use to visit Uncle Shop all the time. What about him?
Jackie Chan: I remember long time ago, Thomas use to tell me a lot about his ex-girlfriend Princess Celestia.
Viper: oh my, he was into royalty. I give him credit for having god taste.
Jackie Chan: the funny thing with that, Princess Celestia was already on him first, before he ever had a chance to tell her how he feel. Before I forget, Thomas use to tell me a lot of good story he had with her in the old days. He remember when he was the captain of the royal guards, he use to see Princess Celestia play some games on him to gain his attention. He gotten use it in the beginning, but over time Princess Celestia finally came to terms and ask him to be her boyfriend.
Viper: she went up to ask him first, instead of him?
Jackie Chan: their relationship tend to be weird, but he said that no matter how far they were, or how long they haven’t seen each other. Thomas and Princess Celestia still show their compassion for one another, which why Thomas finally ask her to married him.
Viper: but don’t forget that he was a good father to his daughter.
Jackie Chan: I never forget that, or Jade would be upset with me. But still, I do miss seeing Thomas, and Dashie. They been part of our family life for so long, it just not the same without them.
Viper: I would understand. I know I met them a couple of time, but part of me felt like they been a family to us.
Jackie Chan: Yeah, I figure by now he would be married to Princess Celestia, and have a family of his own to add with Dashie. At least for now I have the memories with our friends, but ready to start new ones.
Viper: what do you mean by *before she had the chance to finish her sentence, Viper see Jackie was standing on one knee, and look straight at her* Jackie, what going on?
Jackie Chan: Viper, I know you didn’t came here to chat about the past, but I know I wanted to show you something important.
Viper: ………
Jackie Chan: when I first met you at the museum, during the time I have to get the snake talisman. All I thought about you as being nothing more than a thief. But Jade see you more than someone cool, and deep down … I think so too.
Viper: Jackie, what are you trying to say?
Jackie Chan: sorry, I’m not really good with these sort of things. *he grab the small box that he had in his pocket and reveal a ring inside* Sigh, Viper, would you married this over work archeologist?
Viper was speechless of what going on. Not only she see a wedding ring, but hearing Jackie asking her hand in marriage. Viper wanted to say yes to him, but before she got a chance, she heard someone clapping from a distance. Both Jackie and Viper look and notice a female cow in proper uniform was standing from a distance, clapping for the entertainment she was watching. Jackie look at the female cow and knew it was, Elizabeth Redfield.
Jackie Chan: Elizabeth, what are you doing here? I though you was staying at my office.
Elizabeth Redfield: my apology Mr. Chan. I know I was meant to wait for you, but I sort of got bored and figure to search for you instead.
Viper: Jackie, who is this women?
Elizabeth Redfield: you don’t need to say anything, Mr. Chan, I’m capable to introducing myself. My name is Elizabeth Redfield. I’m the personal assistant to an important client that donated a lot of money to this museum. Ad you might be Viper, a formal international thief that have a very bad habit of stealing valuable items.
Jackie Chan: hold on, how did you know about, Viper?
Elizabeth Redfield: it my job to know everyone, Mr. Chan. Including my rival allies. Isn’t that right, Carmen?
Viper and Jackie were confuse of what she said, until they saw two people walking from the other side of the museum. Viper, and Jackie saw Carmen Pondiego being held captive by a female Dalmatian, while holding some sort of magic idol. Jackie was a bit surprise to see, Carmen here, but part of him already figure out what going on.
Jackie Chan: Carmen, you’re here too?
Carmen Pondiego: yeah I’m here too, but it good to see you thought. Oh! Congrats on getting engage.
Agent K-9: that enough talking from you thief, or you want me to use this idol to make you confuse even worst
Carmen Pondiego: I dare you to try it again, but this time I won’t make it easy.
Elizabeth Redfield: that is quite enough, Delilah. We still need to keep them around long enough, so we can gather the things we need.
Agent K-9: yes, Auntie Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Redfield: sorry for my niece, she can be a bit passive at time.
Jackie Chan: why are you doing this Ms. Redfield? I though you was just a normal assistant with an important client, but I’m guessing you’re a thief as well.
Elizabeth Redfield: True *she grab something out of her coat pocket, which was the dragon ball* but I prefer to think of myself a professional Thief, than some boring assistant.
Viper: Jackie, you actually let her steal the Dragon Ball?
Jackie Chan: no I didn’t, the only way she got it, is that I …. *face palm* I left it on my desk table without putting it away.
Carmen Pondiego: don’t worried Mr. Chan, we all make mistake on things.
Viper: you rarely make mistake.
Carmen Pondiego: I know, which why I was able to swipe the idol from that little K-9 hand.
Agent K-9: *she look at her hand, and notice the idol is gone* hey, hand over that idol or *before she could finish her sentence, she was knock out and fell on the floor, after being hit by the idol*
Carmen Pondiego: lesson taught kid, never mess with someone with many years of experience. Now then, Elizabeth was it? How about hand over that dragon ball, before we make this a show.
Elizabeth Redfield: humph, you think you can take me on, Carmen. I know everything about you, and there is no way you can take me down that easily.
Carmen Redfield: you’re very confident of yourself. You remind me a lot of an old friend of mine.
Elizabeth Redfield: you should, that friend of yours happen to be my uncle, Thomas the writer.
Everyone stood quite for a moment of what she said. Jackie, and Viper knew that name from anywhere, but never would guess that he would have a niece already. Carmen wasn’t that much surprise since she know about Thomas family, but not that much of his sibling side other then, Nova. Viper look at Jackie, and ask him to see if what she said is true.
Viper: Jackie, is she telling the truth. Is she really, Thomas niece.
Jackie Chan: I don’t know, I know most of Thomas family members, but I don’t remember mention about having a niece.
Elizabeth Redfield: of course my uncle won’t know about us, especially when our mother told us to never mention of how we are.
Carmen Pondiego: if your mother told you to never mention of who you are, why you still telling us?
Elizabeth Redfield: because none of you going to leave here alive *she search through her coat pocket, and grab a blaster. Then aim it at them*
Carmen Pondiego: really now, I thought you plan to defeat me with your skills, but I guess I was wrong to think you’re a professional thief.
Elizabeth Redfield: I don’t care what you think of me. I got what I came for, and that all I care about.
Jackie Chan: come now, Elizabeth, you don’t need to do this. If what you said that your Thomas niece, do you think he be proud of what you’re doing?
Elizabeth Redfield: …. No he wouldn’t. I never really met him in person, but my mother always talk about him, like he was the most important person in the world. For years, K-9 and I been wanting to meet him but no matter how much we tried, being the daughter that nearly cause trouble towards the family, isn’t the good reputation to have on your shoulder.
Carmen Pondiego: no family isn’t perfect, Elizabeth. I have an older daughter who still upset that I still for a living, but still don’t understand why I do it for. I can see that you only doing this, is because you are trying to draw out your uncle to see you, so you can tell him that you actually exist.
Elizabeth pause for a moment, after hearing those words from Carmen. She know what, Carmen said are true, all these things she doing was nothing more, but gaining the attention from an uncle that doesn’t know her yet. Elizabeth sister K-9 finally got up from the floor, trying to see what going. When she saw Carmen in front of her, which give her a chance to attack. K-9 stop in her track, when Elizabeth call her name out.
Elizabeth Redfield: stand down k-9! We are done here.
K-9: what! Don’t tell me we aren’t going to attack them?
Elizabeth Redfield: sigh, I’m sorry K-9, even though it temping to attack them, but part of me would feel ashamed if I dare harm our uncle friends.
K-9: true, but what about the Dragon Ball, aren’t we still plan to steal it for our mom. If we don’t take it with us, everything we did was for nothing.
Elizabeth Redfield: your right, K-9, this very Dragon Ball is the key reason why our mother show any care for us. Raise us to be nothing more than her pawns to steal things. But not anymore.
Elizabeth walk towards the direction where, Carmen Pondiego was standing. She stood in front of her, glaring at her rival. Carmen wasn’t sure what, Elizabeth was up to, until she saw her hand over the Dragon Ball. Everyone in the room were a bit confuse of what going on, but Carmen understood what, Elizabeth had done. Elizabeth took a deep breath, and then walk away from Carmen, not saying a single word. Once she reach K-9 side, she tell her to grab her bag from the table, and tell her that they were going to leave. K-9 did what she said, and grab the bag from Jackie desk, and hand it back to her. Before they left, Elizabeth look back to Jackie, and Viper, then apology to them for everything.
Elizabeth Redfield: Mr. Chan, and Viper, I do apology for tricking you, in order to gain access for the Dragon Ball, and drawn in my rival.
Jackie Chan: it no problem, but what about the fund, and the research that my team are doing.
Elizabeth Redfield: the funds, and research are real. I may be a thief, but I do respect on persevering all ancient artifact, and place them in the museum. I do hope we can continue to work together in the future, Mr. Chan. I do like to know you, and your family better. As for you, Carmen
Carmen Pondiego: I know what your going to say. You going to keep an eye on me, and hope we can be friends.
Elizabeth Redfield: I was going to say thank you for the kind words, but now I just going to say tread carefuly
K-9: yeah, because I’m keeping an eye on you for tricking me like that.
Elizabeth Redfield: oh don’t worry sweety. I got a lot more tricks to show you. I might bring you some dog biscits if you like.
K-9 nearly lose her cool, and want to go after her, but Elizabeth grab her by the collar, and pull her away. Once they were gone, Jackie and Viper were happy that was all over. Carmen on the hand was happy to gain one of the Dragon Ball she was looking for, and she didn’t need to do that much. She look at Viper, and wanted to thank her for the help, but she was caught off guard, when Jackie was asking to see what going on.
Jackie Chan: alright you two. You guys best tell me the truth, and don’t try to lie about it.
Carmen Pondiego: whatever do you mean, Jackie?
Jackie: don’t play dumb with me, Carmen. I know you’re a thief, and the only reason of you being here, is to steal the Dragon Ball. So if you either hand it over, or I will call the authorities
Viper: hold on a second, Jackie. Can you just let her go, and call it a day?
Jackie Chan: what! But, Viper I can’t just let her go like that. She have one of the Dragon Ball, and it belong in the museum.
Viper: true, and she also the one that saved our lives.
Carmen Pondiego: she got a point there, Jackie. I did my best to save both your lives, so you kind of owe me.
Jackie Chan: you got to be kidding me.
Viper: please Jackie, do it for me
It took, Jackie a moment to think about it, but then decided he was going to let her go.
Jackie Chan: alright fine, you can go Carmen. But you had to promise not to steal anything else once you leave here.
Carmen Pondiego: no problem, Jackie. I be leaving here with the Dragon Ball. But first, I had to look for my friend of mine. M normally never let his guard down, but he might be occupied looking at something that catch his eyes. Oh I nearly forgot one thing. Congratulation to you both. I knew you guys would be a great couple.
Both of them blush a little, not sure what to say next. Viper already know what to do, and gave Jackie a kiss on the cheek. Happy to be with his future husband. Jackie smile back to her, knowing that his life is perfect with her by his side. As for Carmen, she leave the two love birds, and go on her way.
That was Uncle Ancient Wisdom
Special Guest
Carme Pondiego: ask-Carmenpondiego
Outside from the internal airport, Viper was standing by the corner of the street, waiting for someone that was meant to pick up. Usually she had no problem using her car, and drive to the museum, but she remember during her conversation with Carmen Pondiego that she was going to pick her up with one of her agent that work for her.. Viper look around the street to see if the car she was there, but so far all she see was people being pick up from the airport, and several cabbies waiting for escort. Viper was thinking about the heist she was about to do with Carmen, and she starting to have second thoughts about it. She know that Carmen only care about stealing the Dragon Ball that Jackie research team were able to find, and leave, but deep inside her heart that this is her boyfriend big break, and she doesn’t want anything bad happened to him. While her mind was thinking of what she going to do next, she heard a car horn a few times that caught her attention. At first she thought it was just one of the cabbie that was bothering her, but she notice a red limousine that park right next to her. Viper was shock to see a limousine was right next to her, but never saw it drove by before. She look at the limousine for a moment, until she saw a door opening from the driver seat. Viper see a guy with orange hair walk up to her, but this person was a bit out of the ordinary. She look at his face to see what he look like, but his face was cover with sunglasses and a cap. Viper wasn’t sure what he was going to do, but she notice that the guy was asking her name.
Mysterious guy: are you the human woman that go by the name Viper?
Viper: yes that me, who is asking?
Mysterious guy: before I give you the answer, I need to ask you one thing. Do you believe in mystical creatures, and magic?
Viper: Mister! I been through a lot of weird things helping out a pacific family that are huge magnet to magic, and demons all the time. So if you going to try to scare me, you best try harder.
Mysterious guy: *he laugh* very well then, I guess you’re alright to see the real me.
Viper wasn’t sure wasn’t sure what the mysterious guy said, until she saw him walk back a few step from her. He remove his glasses and able to see his green eyes, but the eyes themselves weren’t human. Next thing she know it, the guy body shape started to change, and alter into a bug like pony with a horn. Viper was lost in words, wasn’t sure what to say next. The bug like creature look at Viper and started to laugh, liking how every time he able to shock people like that. Before Viper able to find the words she need to say to him, another voice came out of nowhere, but this voice was familiar to her. She look at the end of the limousine and see a women with a red hat peeking out from the window. The bug like creature knew that his boss was about to lose her patient with him, so he had to quit playing with Viper, and have her in the car.
Marehem: *he laugh* sorry about startle you like that miss, I tend to trick people like that all the time. The Marehem by the way.
Viper: Viper, and you not need to worry, I’m very use to seeing things that out of the ordinary all the time. It just I never seen someone like you before. What are you exactly?
Marehem: I’m a changeling Miss Viper, but that all I’m going to say. There are some thing you don’t want need to know very much. Now then Miss Viper, I best have you inside right now, before my boss lose her temper on me.
Carmen Pondiego: a little too late Marehem, because I was getting tired waiting for you to finish your little game, M.
Marehem: come on Red, can’t a guy have a little fun messing with human once awhile. I rarely go to the human world very often.
Carmen Pondiego: there are many good reason why you can’t go to the human world anymore, M. But I’m going to save this talk another time, right now we have an important mission, and we are on the clock.
Marehem: very well then, do you still want me to escort Miss Viper in the car?
Carmen Pondiego: I do that myself, just get inside and be ready to go.
Marehem: But
Carmen Pondiego: two words M. Wood Chipper.
Marehem didn’t said another word, and do what his boss said. Once he got in the car, Carmen sigh to herself wondering how she deal with him for so long, and yet still work for her. She look back to Viper, and did her best to apology about her assistant behavior.
Carmen Pondiego: I do apology for M behavior Viper, he tend to have a little fun when messing with humans like that, but he is a nice guy once you get to know him.
Viper: it no problem Carmen, I have a habit to mess with people head when they first me the first time. Have to admit, I never seen someone like him before.
Carmen Pondiego: well you don’t really see changeling like him around the human world, especially most of us are from Equestria.
Viper: Equestria! What is that?
Carmen Pondiego: Equestria is a special place where ponies, and creature’s live in harmony, or something like that. There is more detail about it, but it would take a whole day to explain it to you.
Viper: thanks, I would have been board halfway is you did, but if you are from that world, why bother coming to the human world all the time.
Carmen Pondiego: simple really, it a lot more fun here. The human have better artifact to track down, less magic defenses to deal with, and the location of fancy restaurant I do like.
Viper: well I can’t blame you for some of things you said, but I sense there something else that made you want to come to the human world very often.
Carmen Pondiego: well there are two reason really. One is personal, and the other, you might know him already.
Viper: know who already?
Carmen Pondiego: you and Jackie may know him as Thomas the writer, well Thomas is actually an old friend of mine.
Viper: …….. Hold on a second, you knew Thomas the writer, and you never mention this before?
Carmen Pondiego: well you never bother to ask me Viper, and beside, this is the first time you seeing me, and learning a little bit where I came from.
Viper: that true, it just felt a little weird the very person that been my rival in thievery, is actually a pony from another world.
Carmen Pondiego: I would like to be known as a unicorn please. When a human said pony like that, it make me want to slap them on the face, and your too cute slap for me to do that.
Viper: *she blush* um, thank you I guess.
Carmen Pondiego: now then, if that all you needed to ask me Viper, can we get in the limousine and head for the museum. I want to get there as soon as possible, before they raises the security at the place.
Viper: oh you won’t need to worry about that. I actually have a friend who did some favor for me from the past. My cellphone have a special function to cut off any security system in a ten mile radius, which give you, and your friend to get inside without a problem.
Carmen Pondiego: Clever girl. There a reason why I want you to join me on this mission.
Viper: well you made an offer I couldn’t refuse, but remember our deal though.
Carmen Pondiego: I’m a mare of my word, Viper. There will be no harm on your boyfriend, M and I will be in the area to stop any kind of danger that will come on our way.
Viper: you think there will be a great threat to deal with?
Carmen Pondiego: Maybe, especially when the museum donor gave them a lot of money for that artifact, they might send someone to double check for any problem. But I could be wrong, and it nothing at all.
Viper: well if you think things be alright, let do this then.
Marehem: hey, if you two done talking, I would like to get there, before I lose my mind of boredom.
Carmen Pondiego: what happen to the handheld game I lent you, before we got here?
Marehem: the only game that came with it was Tetris, and already board after beating it a few dozen times.
Carmen Pondiego: Sigh, then I guess we have to go, before you started nagging of being board.
Marehem: first of all, I don’t always nag. I only nag when things get boring.
Carmen Pondiego: whatever make you feel happy, M?
Viper laugh to herself after seeing how funny Carmen and her friend Marehem bicker with each other. Viper was thinking about the time when bicker with her for being a thief, which she always tell him that she was a formal thief. Part of her already know that she going to break her promise to Jackie, and Jade that she wasn’t going to steal anymore, but Carmen told she only care about getting the Dragon Ball, and Viper be in the clear. While Viper was thinking to herself, she notice that Carmen was calling her name, letting her know that they were ready to go. Viper head inside the back of the limousine, and they were off to the museum.
While at the Museum of National of history, inside one of the research room, Jackie was studying one of the Dragon Ball from his archeological dig site. During his examination, Jackie was impress of how the Dragon Ball still have it shine, while burring inside a sunken ship for many years. When he stop looking at the Dragon Ball, Jackie look at his notes for some of the information he had written from learning about the Dragon Balls from old scrolls. So far he learned that they were some kind of ancient artifact that someone grant people wishes, after they summon an old dragon from the Dragon Balls. He also learn that in order to gain a single wish, you must gather all seven in order for it to work. Jackie sigh to himself, knowing that he got himself into something weird again. Usually he never attract supernatural stuff, but it always bond to find him. Jackie step away from his desk for a moment, just to get stretches his legs. Before he walk away, he grab something from one of the desk draw, which he kept hidden from anyone else to know about it. Jackie grab what look like a small black box, he smile when he look at it, knowing that the person he going to give it to, will like it a lot. While looking at the black box for a few minutes, Jackie heard someone was knocking at his door. Normally someone knocking at his door wasn’t weird, but most of his people he work with went home early, and he was the only person at the museum. Jackie heard the knocking again, which force him to see who it was. Once he reach the door, Jackie turn the doorknob, and open the door. From there, Jackie saw a bovine women wearing an officer uniform, and an eye patch covering her right eye was standing in front of him. At first, Jackie would have been surprised to see her appearance, but after dealing with a friend who was a talking pony, it was a normal thing to him. The bovine women stare at, Jackie with her one good eye, then speak to him in a professional way.
Elizabeth Redfield: greeting good sir, are you happen to be Jackie Chan?
Jackie Chan: yes that me, and who might you be?
Elizabeth Redfield: *she gently bow to him* my name is Elizabeth Redfield, I’m the mysterious donor personal secretary. Is it possible I can come in, and speak with you?
Jackie Chan: oh of course you can *he open the door to let Elizabeth in* I wasn’t inspecting anyone to come here this late at this hour.
Elizabeth Redfield: my apology. My client wanted me to come here to check up on the ancient artifact that you, and your research team had found. At first I told my client to see if come by in the morning, but they insisted to come here at once.
Jackie Chan: well normally I don’t have anyone come here this late at night, but since your client was nice enough to donate a lot of money for the museum, I don’t see why not.
Jackie escorted Elizabeth, and walk her over to his desk. From there, Jackie show her one of the Dragon Ball he was examine at. Elizabeth was amaze of how wonderful it look, which part of her wanted to pick it up to examine it closer. Jackie grab one of the pair of gloves he had on the side, and grab the Dragon Ball. He show the artifact to her.
Jackie Chan: as you can see, my research team and I were able to find one of these Dragon Ball from an underwater abandon ship. I had to admit, I’m still surprised how good condition they are in.
Elizabeth Redfield: they look marvelous, but were you able to find the rest of the Dragon Ball?
Jackie Chan: not quite yet. We thought we had them all, but after reading a little more about these things, there are a least seven of them, and we going to need more time to find them all.
Elizabeth Redfield: I see, and by chance, were you able to locate the others yet?
Jackie Chan: almost, I just need more time to read the captain old journal, and see if it had any information about them, and that will take time.
Elizabeth Redfield: …. Sigh, very well then. I was sort of hopping that you would have all the dragon balls, but at least my client would know that you retrieve one of them. I’ll let my client know to send the museum more funding to get them all, at once.
Jackie Chan: actually, the funding your client send us is enough to last us for a little while. He didn’t need to *before he could finish his sentence, Elizabeth stood in front of him, with her one good eye*
Elizabeth Redfield: listen here, Mr. Chan. My client is very keen on wanting these Dragon Balls to be find. I know you, and the rest of team have several other research, but the Dragon Ball must be your high priority. Do I make myself clear?
Jackie Chan: …. Gulp, crystal clear.
Elizabeth Redfield: excellent, and my apology for my reaction, Mr. Chan. I tend to take my job too seriously
Jackie Chan: it’s no problem at all. You’re not the first women to yell in front of me. But any case, I make sure that my team, and I will put a lot of effort of finding the other *just before he could finish his sentence, Jackie check his pocket and notice that his cellphone went off*
Elizabeth Redfield: is something a matter Mr. Chan?
Jackie Chan: nothing big, it just someone is trying to text me *he look at his phone* oh! It look like I have to go for a second. Someone I personally know is here.
Elizabeth Redfield: is it one of your coworker that work here?
Jackie Chan: not really, I could say more, but I need to get going. You can stay here for a moment, until I get back.
Elizabeth Redfield: fare enough Mr. Chan. I’ll wait here when you get back.
Jackie nodded to her, and step out from the office for a second. Part of him know that he shouldn’t leave her like that, especially when he had the artifact on his desk. The text message he had was from Viper, and she was inside the museum. Jackie wanted to catch her quick, and ask her something very important.
Somewhere at the other side of the museum, Viper was standing around by the exhibit of spies. Viper at some of the old artifact that famous spies use over the years, she even stood by a black leather suit that once wore by a famous female double, which her true identity haven’t been known yet. Viper look at the suit, and was impress how it would look on her. While her mind was occupied of looking at the suit, she gotten a call from Carmen, and joke around with her a bit.
Carmen Pondiego: you know, Viper if you wanted that outfit, I can easily steal it for you later.
Viper: hmm very tempting, but I’m going to pass on the offer. I still promise, Jackie that I’m going clean on stealing things.
Carmen Pondiego: I understand that my dear. It not that easy to be in a relationship, especially when you to balance being a master thief who run an organization, and a mother of two at the same time.
Viper: Oh! I didn’t know you’re a mother?
Carmen Pondiego: I try my best to not talk about my personal life while I’m working. I have a tendency to talk about some embarrassing thing my children do.
Viper: *she laugh* and I’m guessing both your kids are professional thief like you?
Carmen Pondiego: not really. My daughter Adora is an archaeologist like your boyfriend, and my son does some minor work like his father. Sure part of me would be happy to have them continue my work, but the same time.
Viper: you want them to have better life being normal, then fallowing a mother who a master thief.
Carmen Pondiego: Exactly!
Viper: I have the feeling you would say that. I felt the same way when, Jackie ask me out on a date. I thought it was going to be hard at first, but over time we seeing each other more, and feeling much closer.
Carmen Pondiego: that the same sign with me, and my husband. I to do your best to keep that feeling with him, Viper.
Viper: don’t need to tell me twice. I best get ready, I hear some foot step from a distance.
Carmen Pondiego: fare enough, I continue walking down from where I am and.
Before she could finish her sentence, Viper lost communication with Carmen, after the line went blank. Viper tried to call her back, but no sign from her at all. Viper was plan to see if she could search for her, but she stop when a familiar voice was calling her name. She look and saw, Jackie was running towards, after running through the hallway to get to her. Viper was happy to see him, which made her wanted to give him a hug. Instead, she made a sarcastic joke that made her chuckle a little.
Viper: it look like someone been slacking off on their training. Someone like you should have easily run through those hallways without any problems.
Jackie Chan: *breathing heavily* give me a break, Viper. Ever since they gave me this new position, I barely have time to train every day.
Viper: *she laugh* I know that, Jackie, but you know that I can’t help myself to pull your leg all the time.
Jackie Chan: *he laugh* yeah that is true, and I tend to pull your leg for doing something good for a change.
Viper: the only reason why I’m doing “Good Things” is because I’m keeping a promise with someone I love with.
Jackie Chan: *he laugh again* yeah that true, and I thank you for keeping that promise.
Viper: of course, Jackie. Ever since you first ask me on a date, I want to do my best to be a great girlfriend for you.
Jackie Chan: and you have, Viper. But the funny thing with that, you had the opportunity to say no, and continue with your life as a thief.
Viper: I would have, but I guess I wanted something a little different in my life, then just stealing valuable items all the time.
Jackie Chan: and I’m guessing I was that something to change your life.
Viper: in the beginning not really, but after being together with you for a few years now, I feel like my life is almost complete. *she place her hand by her heart* but something else is missing, and I’m not sure what it was.
Jackie was trying to figure what she meant, but part of him already know what it was. He check his pocket to make sure the gift he gotten for her was there, but had to wait for the right time. He look up to, Viper and speak with her some more.
Jackie Chan: I may not be an expert on love like Jade, but I would understand how you feel.
Viper: believe me, Jade may think she know what love is like, but she still have a lot to learn. Any case, tell me what you trying to say.
Jackie Chan: you remember my friend, Thomas the writer, who use to live our world.
Viper: yes, I still remember him. He had a daughter named Dashie, and they use to visit Uncle Shop all the time. What about him?
Jackie Chan: I remember long time ago, Thomas use to tell me a lot about his ex-girlfriend Princess Celestia.
Viper: oh my, he was into royalty. I give him credit for having god taste.
Jackie Chan: the funny thing with that, Princess Celestia was already on him first, before he ever had a chance to tell her how he feel. Before I forget, Thomas use to tell me a lot of good story he had with her in the old days. He remember when he was the captain of the royal guards, he use to see Princess Celestia play some games on him to gain his attention. He gotten use it in the beginning, but over time Princess Celestia finally came to terms and ask him to be her boyfriend.
Viper: she went up to ask him first, instead of him?
Jackie Chan: their relationship tend to be weird, but he said that no matter how far they were, or how long they haven’t seen each other. Thomas and Princess Celestia still show their compassion for one another, which why Thomas finally ask her to married him.
Viper: but don’t forget that he was a good father to his daughter.
Jackie Chan: I never forget that, or Jade would be upset with me. But still, I do miss seeing Thomas, and Dashie. They been part of our family life for so long, it just not the same without them.
Viper: I would understand. I know I met them a couple of time, but part of me felt like they been a family to us.
Jackie Chan: Yeah, I figure by now he would be married to Princess Celestia, and have a family of his own to add with Dashie. At least for now I have the memories with our friends, but ready to start new ones.
Viper: what do you mean by *before she had the chance to finish her sentence, Viper see Jackie was standing on one knee, and look straight at her* Jackie, what going on?
Jackie Chan: Viper, I know you didn’t came here to chat about the past, but I know I wanted to show you something important.
Viper: ………
Jackie Chan: when I first met you at the museum, during the time I have to get the snake talisman. All I thought about you as being nothing more than a thief. But Jade see you more than someone cool, and deep down … I think so too.
Viper: Jackie, what are you trying to say?
Jackie Chan: sorry, I’m not really good with these sort of things. *he grab the small box that he had in his pocket and reveal a ring inside* Sigh, Viper, would you married this over work archeologist?
Viper was speechless of what going on. Not only she see a wedding ring, but hearing Jackie asking her hand in marriage. Viper wanted to say yes to him, but before she got a chance, she heard someone clapping from a distance. Both Jackie and Viper look and notice a female cow in proper uniform was standing from a distance, clapping for the entertainment she was watching. Jackie look at the female cow and knew it was, Elizabeth Redfield.
Jackie Chan: Elizabeth, what are you doing here? I though you was staying at my office.
Elizabeth Redfield: my apology Mr. Chan. I know I was meant to wait for you, but I sort of got bored and figure to search for you instead.
Viper: Jackie, who is this women?
Elizabeth Redfield: you don’t need to say anything, Mr. Chan, I’m capable to introducing myself. My name is Elizabeth Redfield. I’m the personal assistant to an important client that donated a lot of money to this museum. Ad you might be Viper, a formal international thief that have a very bad habit of stealing valuable items.
Jackie Chan: hold on, how did you know about, Viper?
Elizabeth Redfield: it my job to know everyone, Mr. Chan. Including my rival allies. Isn’t that right, Carmen?
Viper and Jackie were confuse of what she said, until they saw two people walking from the other side of the museum. Viper, and Jackie saw Carmen Pondiego being held captive by a female Dalmatian, while holding some sort of magic idol. Jackie was a bit surprise to see, Carmen here, but part of him already figure out what going on.
Jackie Chan: Carmen, you’re here too?
Carmen Pondiego: yeah I’m here too, but it good to see you thought. Oh! Congrats on getting engage.
Agent K-9: that enough talking from you thief, or you want me to use this idol to make you confuse even worst
Carmen Pondiego: I dare you to try it again, but this time I won’t make it easy.
Elizabeth Redfield: that is quite enough, Delilah. We still need to keep them around long enough, so we can gather the things we need.
Agent K-9: yes, Auntie Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Redfield: sorry for my niece, she can be a bit passive at time.
Jackie Chan: why are you doing this Ms. Redfield? I though you was just a normal assistant with an important client, but I’m guessing you’re a thief as well.
Elizabeth Redfield: True *she grab something out of her coat pocket, which was the dragon ball* but I prefer to think of myself a professional Thief, than some boring assistant.
Viper: Jackie, you actually let her steal the Dragon Ball?
Jackie Chan: no I didn’t, the only way she got it, is that I …. *face palm* I left it on my desk table without putting it away.
Carmen Pondiego: don’t worried Mr. Chan, we all make mistake on things.
Viper: you rarely make mistake.
Carmen Pondiego: I know, which why I was able to swipe the idol from that little K-9 hand.
Agent K-9: *she look at her hand, and notice the idol is gone* hey, hand over that idol or *before she could finish her sentence, she was knock out and fell on the floor, after being hit by the idol*
Carmen Pondiego: lesson taught kid, never mess with someone with many years of experience. Now then, Elizabeth was it? How about hand over that dragon ball, before we make this a show.
Elizabeth Redfield: humph, you think you can take me on, Carmen. I know everything about you, and there is no way you can take me down that easily.
Carmen Redfield: you’re very confident of yourself. You remind me a lot of an old friend of mine.
Elizabeth Redfield: you should, that friend of yours happen to be my uncle, Thomas the writer.
Everyone stood quite for a moment of what she said. Jackie, and Viper knew that name from anywhere, but never would guess that he would have a niece already. Carmen wasn’t that much surprise since she know about Thomas family, but not that much of his sibling side other then, Nova. Viper look at Jackie, and ask him to see if what she said is true.
Viper: Jackie, is she telling the truth. Is she really, Thomas niece.
Jackie Chan: I don’t know, I know most of Thomas family members, but I don’t remember mention about having a niece.
Elizabeth Redfield: of course my uncle won’t know about us, especially when our mother told us to never mention of how we are.
Carmen Pondiego: if your mother told you to never mention of who you are, why you still telling us?
Elizabeth Redfield: because none of you going to leave here alive *she search through her coat pocket, and grab a blaster. Then aim it at them*
Carmen Pondiego: really now, I thought you plan to defeat me with your skills, but I guess I was wrong to think you’re a professional thief.
Elizabeth Redfield: I don’t care what you think of me. I got what I came for, and that all I care about.
Jackie Chan: come now, Elizabeth, you don’t need to do this. If what you said that your Thomas niece, do you think he be proud of what you’re doing?
Elizabeth Redfield: …. No he wouldn’t. I never really met him in person, but my mother always talk about him, like he was the most important person in the world. For years, K-9 and I been wanting to meet him but no matter how much we tried, being the daughter that nearly cause trouble towards the family, isn’t the good reputation to have on your shoulder.
Carmen Pondiego: no family isn’t perfect, Elizabeth. I have an older daughter who still upset that I still for a living, but still don’t understand why I do it for. I can see that you only doing this, is because you are trying to draw out your uncle to see you, so you can tell him that you actually exist.
Elizabeth pause for a moment, after hearing those words from Carmen. She know what, Carmen said are true, all these things she doing was nothing more, but gaining the attention from an uncle that doesn’t know her yet. Elizabeth sister K-9 finally got up from the floor, trying to see what going. When she saw Carmen in front of her, which give her a chance to attack. K-9 stop in her track, when Elizabeth call her name out.
Elizabeth Redfield: stand down k-9! We are done here.
K-9: what! Don’t tell me we aren’t going to attack them?
Elizabeth Redfield: sigh, I’m sorry K-9, even though it temping to attack them, but part of me would feel ashamed if I dare harm our uncle friends.
K-9: true, but what about the Dragon Ball, aren’t we still plan to steal it for our mom. If we don’t take it with us, everything we did was for nothing.
Elizabeth Redfield: your right, K-9, this very Dragon Ball is the key reason why our mother show any care for us. Raise us to be nothing more than her pawns to steal things. But not anymore.
Elizabeth walk towards the direction where, Carmen Pondiego was standing. She stood in front of her, glaring at her rival. Carmen wasn’t sure what, Elizabeth was up to, until she saw her hand over the Dragon Ball. Everyone in the room were a bit confuse of what going on, but Carmen understood what, Elizabeth had done. Elizabeth took a deep breath, and then walk away from Carmen, not saying a single word. Once she reach K-9 side, she tell her to grab her bag from the table, and tell her that they were going to leave. K-9 did what she said, and grab the bag from Jackie desk, and hand it back to her. Before they left, Elizabeth look back to Jackie, and Viper, then apology to them for everything.
Elizabeth Redfield: Mr. Chan, and Viper, I do apology for tricking you, in order to gain access for the Dragon Ball, and drawn in my rival.
Jackie Chan: it no problem, but what about the fund, and the research that my team are doing.
Elizabeth Redfield: the funds, and research are real. I may be a thief, but I do respect on persevering all ancient artifact, and place them in the museum. I do hope we can continue to work together in the future, Mr. Chan. I do like to know you, and your family better. As for you, Carmen
Carmen Pondiego: I know what your going to say. You going to keep an eye on me, and hope we can be friends.
Elizabeth Redfield: I was going to say thank you for the kind words, but now I just going to say tread carefuly
K-9: yeah, because I’m keeping an eye on you for tricking me like that.
Elizabeth Redfield: oh don’t worry sweety. I got a lot more tricks to show you. I might bring you some dog biscits if you like.
K-9 nearly lose her cool, and want to go after her, but Elizabeth grab her by the collar, and pull her away. Once they were gone, Jackie and Viper were happy that was all over. Carmen on the hand was happy to gain one of the Dragon Ball she was looking for, and she didn’t need to do that much. She look at Viper, and wanted to thank her for the help, but she was caught off guard, when Jackie was asking to see what going on.
Jackie Chan: alright you two. You guys best tell me the truth, and don’t try to lie about it.
Carmen Pondiego: whatever do you mean, Jackie?
Jackie: don’t play dumb with me, Carmen. I know you’re a thief, and the only reason of you being here, is to steal the Dragon Ball. So if you either hand it over, or I will call the authorities
Viper: hold on a second, Jackie. Can you just let her go, and call it a day?
Jackie Chan: what! But, Viper I can’t just let her go like that. She have one of the Dragon Ball, and it belong in the museum.
Viper: true, and she also the one that saved our lives.
Carmen Pondiego: she got a point there, Jackie. I did my best to save both your lives, so you kind of owe me.
Jackie Chan: you got to be kidding me.
Viper: please Jackie, do it for me
It took, Jackie a moment to think about it, but then decided he was going to let her go.
Jackie Chan: alright fine, you can go Carmen. But you had to promise not to steal anything else once you leave here.
Carmen Pondiego: no problem, Jackie. I be leaving here with the Dragon Ball. But first, I had to look for my friend of mine. M normally never let his guard down, but he might be occupied looking at something that catch his eyes. Oh I nearly forgot one thing. Congratulation to you both. I knew you guys would be a great couple.
Both of them blush a little, not sure what to say next. Viper already know what to do, and gave Jackie a kiss on the cheek. Happy to be with his future husband. Jackie smile back to her, knowing that his life is perfect with her by his side. As for Carmen, she leave the two love birds, and go on her way.
That was Uncle Ancient Wisdom
