Summary[]
Erika Stone is secretly stealing valuables from museums all over the world, starting in Cairo. Lucienne Christophe of Interpol and her team are assigned to the case, the team consisting of Cassandra Flick, Hui Lan, Marika Heino and Tasia Spiro. Erika at first elludes the team thanks to her Temporal Gene, which allows her to stop time, some strikes downright baffling the investigators. Among the targets is the Louvre in Paris, with even the Mona Lisa disturbed in broad daylight. Eventually DNA is found suggesting Erika might be the culprit, so Tasia is put to task keeping an eye on the billionaire. Tasia however is discovered and captured, becoming a victim of Type-7. Erika, now joined by Monica Stein, confronts the Interpol team and introduces them to the drug as well, beginning an elaborate global chase. Monica and Erika split up after leaving Japan and the team attempts to compensate, but ultimately they're all captured, along with Hawaiian police woman Miranda Ohala and several other women. Back in Malibu Erika celebrates with friends, including Caitlin Trafford and Ashley Tisdale, but the drug wears off on some of her victims and they strike back, capturing those that once captured them. In the aftermath Erika escapes however, Monica and Caitlin joining her, the three injecting themselves with Type-7 overdoses and given themselves to Sandy Vanholt until their crimes have blown over, at least legally.
