Flash: WalMart Drawing

An offbeat New England tale of diamond-store/street-talk 'intrigue' surrounding modern continental gem quality/legality and 'agents' of date.

A fun 'intrigue' vignette inspired by Flawless (Michael Caine). Enjoy,

Amlan Satan is a rogue blood-diamond infiltrations-operationalist with Interpol-office(s) relations in New England (Boston), intercepting smugglers gems traffic from conflict-zones creating troubling piracy-bridges between British Columbia (North America) and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom).

AMLAN SATAN: As a gem-specialist and real-life 'James Bond' of Boston, I've found challenge(s) 'normalizing' town ninja-work!

INTERPOL: Satan is one of our most superior monitoring citizens/specialists, and he reminds some of us of the speedy Flash!

FLASH (Amlan Satan - Diary): I've got to walk into the Boston WalMart and swap some wristband gems with toy-gems.

As 'Flash' (Amlan Satan) walks into the WalMart (Boston), he notices the thoroughfare/traffic of pedestrians and consumers in symbolic New England. He surveys some of the pretty women shopping that day and thinks about the traffic-frequency to the jewelry/diamonds section of the shopping-center in the United States!

FLASH (Amlan Satan): When I get to the fine jewelry section of the WalMart, I think about the timing of the band-swap!

The attending WalMart employee at the fine jewelry section that day is Sheila, who's a big fan of magazine ads featuring diamonds adorned by celebrities adorning the modern fashion/commerce world with consumerism imagery regarding the street-aesthetic of casual fine living.

SHEILA: This is a very cool celebrity fashions magazine, Mr. Satan.
FLASH: Why, thank you, Sheila!
SHEILA: May I read it while you're surveying the diamonds-band now?
FLASH: Go ahead...
SHEILA: Well, I've read your magazine features on diamonds on movie-stars.
FLASH: Did you see when Marcia Gay Harden accepted her Oscar, adorned by a stunning necklace?
SHEILA: That's a 'marvelous' piece of jewelry in modern time, Mr. Satan!
FLASH: Well, it reminds me of this band, really.
SHEILA: So, are you going to purchase the diamond-band today at WalMart, Flash?
FLASH: No, not today, Sheila, but I need you to tell your manager something for me!
SHEILA: What's that?
FLASH: I need to you 'suggest' the diamond-band should be showcased to consumers intrigued by celebrities.
SHEILA: Why's that?
FLASH: At some point, someone might purchase this band, at which point, there'll be some notices about its quality.
SHEILA: I don't understand...
FLASH: Sheila, my darling, I want you to 'hint' to the purchasing consumer of this 'fine' band that fashion is reviewed!

SHEILA: How's that?
FLASH: I need you to encourage 'street gossip' about the quality of jewelry purchased at this WalMart (Boston).

SHEILA: For what?
FLASH: Well...for the express/limited purpose(s) of direct consumerism fantasy (of course!).

DETECTIVE: So, you're certain this bearded/masked/sunglassed 'Flash/Satan' was a connoisseur?
SHEILA: He seemed to have a 'keen-eye' about celebrity-world diamond merchandising!
DETECTIVE: And you 'believe' he may be the 'prime-suspect' for the mysterious swap of the band with a toy-band?
SHEILA: Who knows, they say there's much diamond-smuggler quality products getting to major stores from Sierra Leone.
DETECTIVE: Yeah, I saw that movie Blood Diamond (Leo DiCaprio)!
SHEILA: Ironically, Flash/Satan returned the very-next weekend and purchased a more expensive piece.
DETECTIVE: What did he mention/say?
SHEILA: He said, "I've got some Interpol-money to burn, Sheila!"
DETECTIVE: So, it seems this potential 'James Bond' Interpol-office(s) relations 'worker' was performing a Boston crusade!
SHEILA: I think that's right, sir...'Flash/Satan' was very 'quick' with estimations about store-street chatter about quality.
DETECTIVE: This might be a case of special intra-society messaging/advertising about gem-merchandising legality.
SHEILA: Maybe this 'Flash' is some kind of media expert!
DETECTIVE: He seemed to 'truly' care about blood-diamond woe(s) affecting/sullying New England diamond-talk(s), eh?
SHEILA: There's no doubt.
DETECTIVE: Thanks for your help...WalMart still rules, right?
