Carmen Sandiego And Jules Novels & Stories

I reached for her hand though and held it tightly. “I’m coming too,” Jules said definitely. “If Trista can cross, then so can I.” I opened my mouth to stop him, but it was too late. Jules ran towards us, full tilt. Suddenly, though, it looked as though he’d just slammed right into something solid. The force of it threw him backwards through the air. Thud. He landed on his butt, disoriented. “What the hell was that?” he asked, scratching his head. “That was the wall,” Pele’s wolf said.

Cameron was anxious. “Yeah. Didn’t get through to the skin, but…” Jules was already stripping off the jeans. He checked the pockets before tossing them into the pit with the cow and picking up his boots, inspecting them as he walked back to the car, unembarrassed to be walking around in his boxers. “Didn’t get any on my boots,” he said, pleased.

They rode in silence. The two brothers were sitting in front, Ronald in the passenger seat and Adrian was driving. Carmen was in the backseat, biting her fingers in anticipation and nervousness. She was debating whether it was a good choice going with them or not. What if they got into danger because of her?

I stared at her, my brain stalling, "Dante? Dante Capone?" Jules nodded, a small, proud smile lighting up her face. "Since you’ve been so busy and... you know, stopped hanging out with me as much, I was really struggling with my math homework. Dante noticed. He started helping me every night. He promised that if I aced my big mid-term, he’d get me whatever I wanted. I got an A+, so he got me this." She held the phone like a trophy. A cold, uneasy feeling settled in my stomach. I looked at my little sister, my innocent, sweet Jules and felt a wave of nausea. She was settling in. She was starting to feel at home with these people, the very people I was planning to run away from.

As we draw near, you can hear the water lapping against the sand and rocks near the cove. “Take off your shoes,” I tell Jules as I squat down and slip out of my own. Jules doesn’t hesitate to take off her boots and dig her toes into the soft sand. Once I’ve rolled up my slacks to my knees, I take her hand and walk toward the water’s edge. Jules grips my hand tightly and follows beside me. The water sifts through our toes, making us giggle like small children. It’s a sweet moment where we both forget our troubles and have fun.

“My sister sent me. She asked me to find the CEO of this company and show him an email.” Jules’ expression remained unreadable. “What’s in the email?” “I don’t know. My sister told me not to open it, so I didn’t.” Jules studied him for several moments. “What is your sister’s name?” “Claire Montez.” A flicker of recognition crossed Jules’ face. “Claire… Montez?” He repeated the name quietly. Then he looked back toward Damien. “I will be right back.” Jules walked quickly to where Damien was waiting. “Sir, the young man says his sister’s name is Claire Montez.”

After enduring countless bullets, Jules finally found Ray—on the first floor, in one of the rooms. The door exploded inward. He was boiling with rage. But his eyes glinted—finally, he saw his target. And it wasn't a woman… but a man. "Sandra?" he shouted, his voice high and sharp. Ray smiled, spreading his hands and shrugging. "You finally found me! Alright, I lost this round. Now go hide—time for me to be the cat." 'A game of cat and mouse? Are you kidding me?!' Jules glared at him, teeth gritted, forcing out each word like a razor slicing air. "You think you're funny?"

he demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Cole’s nostrils flared as he caught the scent of our unseen enemies. “I can smell them,” he replied grimly. “We’re surrounded.” Before we could react, the bandits descended upon us with a ferocity that took us by surprise. Jules immediately leaped into action, his movements quick and precise as he tore through our attackers with deadly efficiency. I could only watch in awe as he dispatched them one by one, his wolfish instincts taking over in the heat of battle. But as the dust settled and the last of the bandits fled for their lives, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at my gut.

As they crossed into the clearing, Jules’s silhouette appeared briefly behind them, his form blending with the night. Rio called out softly, “Jules, stay safe. We’ll need you.” Jules’s voice was distant but firm. “I’ll buy you time. The hunter won’t catch you if I can help it.” With that, Jules vanished into the shadows again, choosing to face the dangers alone. The group slipped inside, the door closing behind them like a shield against the night. The swamp fell silent once more—but the war had only just begun.

Jules said immediately she sighted Cassie's convertible. “Don't be a bitch, Jules. I know what you're scared of." She laughed. "Exactly, so please let's take my car.” "I'm not the one driving.” Cassie said with an eye roll just as Colton appeared. "Oh,” Jules exclaimed, now understanding why her friend had been saying “we" “Hi, Aunty Jules,” Colton said cheerfully. "Great. Am I going to be a third wheel here?” Cassie wanted to give her a knock on the head. “You think we'd come get you if we wanted to have sex?"
