HS-Reunion: Point-Blank

A Story by Abishai100

Satan attends his New Jersey 25-year school reunion and tries to reconnect with his sweetheart Shelbye amidst some globalism deadlines.

A very fun high-school reunion vignette, once again inspired by the American film Grosse Pointe Blank (John Cusack), a general 'theme' I've been crafting I'm certain you'll recognize (and hopefully find enjoyable/didactic). Thanks for reading,

Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) has been invited to his 25-year high-school reunion in New Jersey (USA). However, Satan's been working as a guerrilla-intelligence agent, infiltration-specialist for blood-diamond hijacking with Interpol-relations in commerce/sectarian troubled Northern Ireland (United Kingdom). Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) has, however, been 'persuaded' by his mission-assignment secretary to return to his hometown, see his mother, and attend the Eastern 25-year reunion!

SATAN: I've been collecting all this highway-piracy intrigue images regarding UK politics/commerce, and I wonder I'm comfy!

It's true; Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) has been focusing primarily on commerce-bridge reform work stabilization through blood-diamond piracy-network subversions connected to Sierra Leone and stretching into troubled Northern Ireland (United Kingdom), affecting the under-class Irish-Catholic minority living alongside the somewhat equally/arguably frustrated British-Protestant population (descended from generations of English colonial settlers), making for 'bad coexistence' and compelling Storm-Shadow to work as a special guerrilla-intelligence agent to secure everyday sanity (and dialogue!) in this area for some time now.

SATAN: I guess I'm psyched and comfy enough to attend this Eastern 25-year reunion despite all the insanity in my other life.

Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) was linked to a major corrupt 'unofficial' transport security vehicle line of blood-diamond smugglers trucks, having to recruit some cohorts and other agents and forming the loose 'club' known as the 'Foreign Irish Republican Army' (F-IRA) to completely deter any piracy-treasures being trafficked into troubled Belfast despite any 'pseudo-security' blockade to move along the UK Parliament affirmative-action employment policy reform negotiations favoring a more socioeconomically 'comfy' condition between Catholics-Protestants to foster improved United Kingdom daybreak.

STORM-SHADOW: Working with this vehicle sabotage linked to blood-diamond motions/silos in commercial areas...sucks.

However, Satan's mission-secretary has designed for him a special 'joke badge' for him to take with him in his wallet to his Eastern 25-year high-school reunion, perhaps to 'nudge' him to reconnect not only with his mother, Elena, but also to reconnect with his old high-school sweetheart, Shelbye, who he hasn't 'seen' since the prom. Amlan laughs at this secretary-gift badge but humbly decides to put it folded in his wallet and takes it with him to New Jersey (USA).

AMLAN: I missed you.

SHELBYE: That's conceivable; since we haven't spoken in what...10 years?

AMLAN: I missed you.

SHELBYE: Just go see your mom, Satan; I know.

AMLAN: I missed you.

SHELBYE: So, I'm to be your Eastern date, eh?

AMLAN: I missed you.

Meanwhile, the festivities and design-work for this momentous Eastern 25-year reunion, with some nice local New Jersey media symbolic of this 20th-annniversary commemoration year of 9/11, has many returning alumni thinking equally about the romance/sentiment behind new age inter-religious community values...and social reunions!

SATAN: My hometown is like any other, but New Jersey is nice in the suburbs, with homes reminding you of American dial.

SHELBYE: Yeah, I remember my prom with Amlan, and I remember the magic of high-school romance; but I'm in deep worry.

High-school was nice for Amlan and he was happy to have met Shelbye whom he wants to marry someday somehow, once his global madness with blood-diamonds and F-IRA underground digging finally sees the tunnel-light to improved UK life in this new millennium, which is why he's so content now remembering this fond memories of what made Eastern so...dreamy!

SATAN: I was an excellent contributor to the Chess Club at Eastern, and it informed my current intuitive work in the UK!

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond corruption threatens modern diamond-capitalism and requires worldwide vigilance box-angels.

Unfortunately, for Amlan Satan ('Storm-Shadow'), a ghoulish hired UVF-Algerian hitman named Ali Hadek has been assigned to follow Satan home to New Jersey and admit himself into the 25-year reunion and try to kill him, creating a real East Coast freakshow drawing in some worries by the continental intelligence community and perhaps even GI Joes. Hadek's is a bad-a*s perpetrator with a demon's resume.

SATAN: I just found out from my mission-secretary that Hadek's been trying to follow me...home...and I'll have to be ninja.

HADEK: I found you, rascal.

AMLAN: At my Eastern reunion, you gargoyle.

HADEK: What's the toy gun in your hand, rascal?
AMLAN: It's filled with acid, Hadek.

HADEK: Aaaahhhh!

Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) 'disposes' of the evil Hadek and returns to the Eastern reunion ballroom and continues dancing with and kissing Shelbye and then asks her to marry him in front of the reunion gathering, and everyone toasts to what they once considered a rather symbolic/iconic 'American' couple of sweetheart-drawings. What an odd turn of events this has become for dear old New Jersey boy Satan, eh?

AMLAN: I can't believe you said, 'Yes.'

SHELBYE: Believe it, Satan.

AMLAN: I might be a world-guerrilla intelligence-agent working in Northern Ireland with blood-diamonds.

SHELBYE: Sounds...true.

AMLAN: I missed you.

SHELBYE: You turn out to be Specter or something...I better get a pencil-romantic drawing of myself.

AMLAN: You will.

Amlan and Shelbye got married and Amlan retired from official/unofficial F-IRA/UK work and had a son named Damian and bought for him a patriotism robot fighter-plane robot-toy and taught him not to worry about civilization 'things' like global piracy, crime undergrounds, sectarian hellfire, and of course American paranoia.
