Capital Menace: Americas

Will a 'wily' man of FBI duty desist the 'social media' message-scheme of an anti-capitalist (Menace) in a 'tale' of distance?

A modern world infrastructure defense faerie-tale of dangerous proportion, inspired by the awesome grid-securities film-remake The Taking of Pelham 123 (Tony Scott). Thanks for reading,

A homegrown terrorist by the name of Menace had modeled himself after a special Marvel villain and swore to create a complete continental nightmare, starting with Vancouver and then proceeding south to Chicago and then to Mexico City and ultimately to Buenos Aires.

MENACE: I'm taking 4 metros hostage/ransom; inserting intricate weaponized items; creating Americas-continents anarchism.

Fortunately, for the United States security force of Big-Brother 'action' in this post-9/11 era, a wily FBI detective named Amlan Satan (aka, 'Shadow') had been tracking this homegrown terrorist ('Menace') who was born/raised in Colorado and then trekked around the Americas (continents) to determine his 'subterranean' method of anarchism and terror. According to FBI-agent Satan (Amlan), Menace was a 'signpost' for a modern commerce-traffic overstimulation symptomatic 'natural anarchist' backlash against consumerism highways traffic/lifestyle, emerging as a 'dark' messenger of Americas infrastructure frailty and threatening the 'basic' social-media culture 'comfort-chess' feelings otherwise upheld by today's agents/lawmen of continental life (wow).

AMLAN SATAN (FBI): There's no 'method' of Menace that'll under-strike our chess-excellence in dominion-controls/Ego (now).

Sure, everyone felt 'lucky' to have Satan on their side, but Menace first (swiftly) struck the metro-train of fair Vancouver, where ice-hockey and transit were otherwise secure as St. Patty's Day fast-approached in the year 2023. Menace seized the metro-service and took over the conductor's/driver's role while holding an official inside the cockpit hostage and demanding his first 'prize' for his Americas-strike --- 1 cool million dollars (while FBI-agent Satan presided by radio to calm all).

However, Amlan Satan managed to persuade Menace to not set off the explosive weaponized device inside the Vancouver metro-train and simply 'shooed' him away but not before the homegrown (Colorado) 'pure-maniac' reached his 2nd destination in this tale of Americas-darkness --- Chicago (Illinois).

MENACE: I've taken another metro from under your sharp-nose, Satan; this time, you won't 'fly' me away so easily.

SATAN (Amlan): You under-value the sheer genius of the Federal Bureau of Investigations; why we're grounded by democracy!

However, once more, the FBI wily-man Satan (Amlan) managed to 'cajole' the dark Menace to disarm his planted explosive/weaponized device from inside the Chicago metro/subway train. The Windy-City was so relieved, as its fave-team of basketball were raving up the Bulls-market for fans/tourism! Once more, Agent Amlan managed to 'out-mind' the Menace by convincing him that disarming the bomb was 'wiser' than forwarding an anti-Chicago 'agenda' which would simply ruin the man's prestige concerning the selection of traffic-heavy cities/trains with 'dowry' magic.

MENACE: Let's see if you're persuasion-telepathy deters me from my next mission (somewhere in Mexico).

That 3rd destination (Mexico-City) saw FBI-agent Amlan Satan have to negotiate a special 'compromise' with this continents-terrorist/artist from Hell (Menace) involving the payment of $1K (ransom) for the disarming of the bomb. However, Amlan Satan now wondered if these 'quick-efficient' bomb-disarmaments across 3 cities in the Americas was somehow 'pre-planned' by the Menace who simply wished to offer a 'nonviolent' message of dark/incendiary threats to infrastructure/sanity. We find Menace (now) in his 4th and final-destination --- Buenos Aires (Argentina).

SATAN (Amlan): The Federal Bureau of Investigations thinks Menace strikes Argentina because of its recent Cup-title (Qatar)!

MENACE: I've disarmed this final bomb, in the Argentine metro, Satan!

AMLAN: Excellence; you've seen things my way again, and maybe finally.

MENACE: That's 4 bombs you've been honored to neutralize, for my behalf!

AMLAN: That's true; you have a point here, I'm certain (now).

MENACE: I just wanted to see if you'd 'follow' me (like on social-media)!

AMLAN: This was all a 'pre-planned' negotiation 'opera' for your insanity.

MENACE: That's correct; Satan, you've turned me onto comics!

AMLAN: Glad I could help; art will save the world (after all).

MENACE: I shall vanish from Earth's face now, Satan; retire as a hermit!

AMLAN: Good, good; a yeti or yogi of the mountains; just stay hermitic.

MENACE: Believe me, if I resurfaced, you'd be the one to know/examine!

AMLAN: Of course; get some of those patriot-comics on your way to exile.

MENACE: You arrogant; you've swapped terror for exile/art; no doubt(s).

AMLAN: Alright!

Menace vanished, a self-exiled mountain-hermit, and FBI Agent Amlan Satan would have to be 'satisfied' that his disappearance was 'preferable' to any lingering/continued presence in human civilization as a 'figure' of darkness/angst, and meanwhile Menace himself had now become a 'born-again' man-witch, making Occult incantations in the mountains of Earth, remembering only his 'dark promise' to Satan --- never again to darken the commerce-ideology halls/annals of man's social-media 'flower' of democracy (the train!).
