Valencia: Se7en

Two very smart detectives in today's Valencia track the evil 'Darkman' and may have to unwind the coils of depression.

A noir-crime vignette inspired loosely by David Fincher's very unusual modern-gothic film Se7en. Enjoy!

Valencia is where the legendary Euro-club soccer team has its grounding and celebrity, and it's also the Spanish area of great traffic and richness of culture, which is why two very intelligent young detectives (homicide), Amlan and Ezzy, hope to rid the 'town' of a nefarious evil, to restore/protect its natural commercial beauties.

AMLAN: I always wear a protective mask (Coronavirus), because you never know if you'll meet a criminal who'll spread death!

EZZY: Amlan means the world to me, and I 'believe' he's the right stuff of modern Euro-vigilance, and I enhance his brain(s).

As Amlan/Ezzy set out in the streets of Valencia after-dark, they're hot on the tracks of an evil serial-killer modeling himself after the Boston Strangler (America) but with a special 'taste' for the Euro-club soccer area in Spain, perhaps to ruin (literally!) the kind of street-thoroughfare magic/dazzle that is the unique charm of Spanish heartbeat(s).

The Valencia-killer is aliased 'Darkman' and rightfully so! In fact, Amlan/Ezzy are certain he's not only behind bloody murders of Spanish police-officer(s) but also of a strange black-smoke planting (bomb!) inside the Valencia park water-fountain of ancient value. Darkman wants to disturb the Valencia colors-of-night and Amlan/Ezzy believe he's luring them into some kind of detection-labyrinth game of eeriness!

DARKMAN: Did you 'doubt' you'd ever catch me, sleuths?
AMLAN/EZZY: We love the word 'sleuth' and its tinge for human excellence!
DARKMAN: Not all 'sleuths' could be as 'fortunate' as you two, right?
AMLAN/EZZY: Maybe that's 'right' but not absolutely non-negotiable.
DARKMAN: So, all it takes is 'diligence' then, is it?
AMLAN/EZZY: Precisely, Darkman; this is a game of masquerade-valor.
DARKMAN: You're simply very bright officers/regulators of the concept of law!
AMLAN/EZZY: So what; isn't it all a 'game' of weaponry?
DARKMAN: You unnerve me...

AMLAN/EZZY: We're dressing up as psychos for Halloween to prove cops do it better, Darkman!

This is not a game. To pursue the labyrinth-game of chance/crime, the dark-world cop(s)/officer(s) must endure the lengths of complete uncertainty, and on the flipside of this 'strange' coin, all adversaries of undeniable physique-threats to the civilization 'body' must be treated as naysayers of the 7 Deadly Sins (sloth, greed, gluttony, pride, wrath, envy). God bless those who keep the light away from our eyes...the policemen/women of history.
