    The question isn't Where in the World is she...it's Where in the 
World is she going to hide.

Carmen Lawrence I presume?

*tsk tsk* CARMEN SANDIEGO!

Rumiko(sarcastic): Gee, I wonder if we've heard of her... (glances over 
	at Jody with her red trenchcoat and matching wide-brim hat...)
Jody(looking up): ???  What?

	Robma "I might as well add a piece to this letter...  it's too 
		short my response..." Orick

------------------------------------
<Has nothing to do with the original post!!!!>

Allegra stepped to the side, but Rumiko blocked her path.

Allegra: Let me in there!!  I want to know what's happening to him!!!
Rumiko(trying to grab onto Allegra): Allegra-kun!!!  You don't want to 
	go in there!!!!
Allegra(getting desperate): I have to see him!!!!  Please let me see him!!!!!

With a final fake, Allegra divees past Rumiko and into the room.  She looks 
up...  Rumiko sighs and realises it's too late...  She closes her eyes as 
Allegra lets out an anguished cry of disbelief and then sorrow...

Musica(puts a hand onto her sister's shoulder as the sobs wrack her 
	armored body): there's nothing we can do, iiko...  he's gone...
Allegra: NO!!! (looks up and grabs Musica's robes by the front) He can't 
	be... (her eyes blur and the tears flow down her cheeks)
Musica(feeling weak and starting to cry): he is... (embraces Allegra) 
	he's gone... (the Twins stood there by the table of the family 
	room in the basement, giving all they could to support each other)
Rumiko(looking at them, Jody steps up to her from behind): I tried to stop 
	them...
Jody: They would know sooner or later... (turns and walks to her room) 
	Tell Rob...

	-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Robma-chan(in Scottish attire with a bagpipe strapped to her side): Jody, 
	I'll miss him as much as the Twins will, but is this really necessary 
	for me to be dressed like this? (straightens the kilt) My Scottish 
	blood is very thin...
Jody(straightening her trechcoat): It's for their sake, Orick.
Robma-chan: I don't even know how to play the bagpipes.
Jody: That's what the CD player's for.

	-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The bagpipes play "Amazing Grace" as the gathered watch the scene solemnly...
At the end, Allegra weeps anew.  Robma-chan holds onto the girl.

Robma-chan: It's not the end of the world, Iiko.  We'll remember him.
Allegra: Why did he have to die?
Robma-chan: Everyone dies, Iiko, even the strong.  That's way it's so 
	important to cherish them while they're here...
Allegra(turns to the TV screen): Good-bye, Kosh...

Robma-chan(thinking): The things I do to keep them happy...  Sheesh!
