Simon/Simon: Moscow Post

A Story by Abishai100

Will the world-heroic pair of underground mercenary-detectives (Simon & Simon) offer something 'high' to Moscow in a time of 'troubles' (or Helltalk)?

I think to retire (finally) with this 'cool' homage to the classic Western-American TV-series Simon & Simon, a great 'nod' to hospitality storytelling (I think),

Now Simon and Simon had become the world chess-masters of street-infiltrations into politics anarchy, organized crime, bloody-murder riddles, and underground darkness and terrorism/piracy controls but were sent on a new 'blood-diamond' mission to Moscow during the Ukrainian invasion, hired by a desperate Crimean family living in Russia endorsing their eldest beautiful daughter (Lara) as she pursued her fashion-career in this new age of great traffic complexity/troubles.

Amlan Simon, graduate of the Ivy-League, started his post-grad career as a dentist in Boston before being recruited by his new crime-examination 'associate' and pal Thai Simon (no family-relation, despite the surname congruence!) who recognized the 'Ivy-dentist' had the 'genius' to double as a masked-hero and even post Selfie-comments about capitalism-race controls in this Earth-age of great 'personality' in competition-class intelligence (wow).

Amlan/Thai (Simon & Simon) knew that this Earth-work and 'Crusade' with capitalism 'governance' and hired 'pseudo-mercenary' mission-work with underground controls for securities/insurance would require 'advanced' resourcing, which is why Thai Simon's princely-inherited fortunes came in handy as they took up this 'briefcase' of darkness, which would be opened (quickly!) as they dealt with Mexican cartels, DC conspiracy, Cali gang-rise, and even Wall Street murders. Now, Simon & Simon were charged with a paid job to deal with a diamond-store in Moscow dealing with a blood-diamond baron of the underground who'd plotted to ransom a beautiful fashion-world mermaid (Lara).

THAI SIMON: I wonder if we'd net with Moscow's swift non-Russian businessmen to create a fashion-capitalism social-media 'journal' wed to the diamond-market for insurance-securities street-confidence, as a distraction for this blood-diamond baron, while we'd 'kidnap' Lara from the baron's new lair (for her desperate family!).

AMLAN SIMON: Excellence; Moscow's underground does need some business-community net-chess for the 'extraction' of a damsel-in-darkness and the citation of Russian social-media heavens.

They kidnapped Lara and took her to a exhibition Russian ice-hockey match during the 1st-wave of the Russo-Ukrainian War, before the tariffs/migration/media roadblocks would come, and ensured their 'damsel-in-darkness' was seen waving/cheering in the cameras while the Moscow athletes prepared to defend their 'heritage' while donning (albeit controversial!) 'throwback' USSR jerseys for exhibition-examination.

LARA: Damn; we're losing (now)!

AMLAN: The 'trick' is to get you in front of the cameras for audience-light for the baron's evil-eye.

BARON: That's my 'darling-maid' on the Moscow ice-hockey viewer-TV screen, you idiots.

MINIONS: I think Simon-Simon are behind this 'diamond-rescue' op (from the West), sire.

BARON: If these two 'faeries' flight from Mother Russia with Lara's shoe, I'll shoot one of you in feet!

MINIONS: Of course, sire; seems this 'damsel-in-darkness' is all about social-media highness (no?).

Simon & Simon did indeed return the lovely Lara to a 'media-acknowledged' state of security and secured some 'cool' confidence for Moscow's social-media journals in this 1st-phase of the Eastern Euro War (Russia-Ukraine) and took with them as a 'souvenir' an excellent/classical Fisher-Spassky (USA-USSR) chess-headline/newspaper exhibiting their newfound praise for the color of Earth's 'alien' hospitality.
