[[Where's Wally|Waldo]], a [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|Tall, Dark, And Handsome]] Frenchman [[Spy Fiction|spy]], works for the World Spy Organization, combatting the dastardly designs of an evil entity called VILE. Carmen, the [[Sensual Slavs|sultry Russian]] daughter<ref>Adopted</ref> of the original [[Carmen Sandiego]], is the VILE agent Waldo has sworn to stop. She traverses the world in pursuit of [[MacGuffin|artifacts to steal]] and has been eluding Waldo for a while by the time the story begins, their first [[Overt Rendezvous|meeting face-to-face]].

Line 34:

* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: Referenced in Chapter 27.

* [[Big "What?"]]:

{{quote| '''Waldo''': A bruise is temporary, but a scar is forever. You know what else is temporary?~~ ~~

{{quote|'''Waldo''': A bruise is temporary, but a scar is forever. You know what else is temporary?

'''Carmen''': Pregnancy?~~ ~~

'''Carmen''': Pregnancy?

'''Waldo''': ''Quoi?!'' }}

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Every chapter begins with something said in either French or Russian. Various exclaimations are given in these languages throughout the text. The author uses Google for these and has asked for an interpereter. She found one for her Russian characters and the person receives a credit in every postscript.

Line 83:

** Carlos takes pride in his first ''spy'' name basis with Flo. All the VILE agents call her by "Flo" as well.

* [[Flat What]]:

{{quote| '''Carmen''': Birds of a feather, my sweet. ''Birds of a feather''.~~ ~~

{{quote|'''Carmen''': Birds of a feather, my sweet. ''Birds of a feather''.

'''Waldo''': I hate birds.~~ ~~

'''Waldo''': I hate birds.

'''Carmen''': So do I, I prefer cats. You?~~ ~~

'''Carmen''': So do I, I prefer cats. You?

'''Waldo''': Dogs.~~ ~~

'''Waldo''': Dogs.

'''Carmen''': Pity. We could have gotten a pet. I guess we'll have to have children instead.~~ ~~

'''Carmen''': Pity. We could have gotten a pet. I guess we'll have to have children instead.

'''Waldo''': ...What. }}

* [[Foe Yay]]: Waldo and Carmen. Pentharis is open about her extravagant love for this trope when it's played well.

Line 164:

* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: {{spoiler|Zack and Ivy}}, as established in Chapter 33. Let the [[Shipping]] commence.

* [[Not So Different]]:

* [[Number Two]]: Alik to Carmen.

* [[Off the Wagon]]: Waldo with his smoking habit.

Line 233:

* [[Team Pet]]: Mischief.

* [[Tempting Fate]]:

{{quote| They had no building plans, no plans of action, no idea how to find out where she was, and indeed: No idea if Carmen was still there. Surely there was no possible way this could go horrendously wrong and he was going to have to explain to two children's families why they wouldn't be coming home from work that day.}}

* [[Terrible Trio]]: Carmen with Alik and Mayhem. Flo doesn't count because she's just another member of VILE, not part of their team.

* [[Texting]]: The engineer is something of an addict.

Line 246:

* [[Time Travelers Are Spies]]

* [[Time Travel Tense Trouble]]:

{{quote| '''Waldo''': "How goes the building of the time machine?"~~ ~~

{{quote|'''Waldo''': "How goes the building of the time machine?"

'''Engineer''': Great, we should be done by next week, so you can leave any minute."~~ ~~

'''Engineer''': Great, we should be done by next week, so you can leave any minute."

'''Waldo''': What? [[Drunken Master|Is this one of those things you have to be drunk to understand]]?" }}

* [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: Carmen time travels to the Doctor's lab where he's turning spies into animals. There was intended to be a somewhat lengthy gap between that point and the present, [[Plot Hole|but Geckos don't live long enough for that]]. The author noticed and she decided to play through without more exposition than that Martin thinks he's near death because of his gecko body's age.
