Ronin-2

A Story by Abishai100

Two ex-intelligence hirees in Arles make for roadways-maps for conflict-zone gem chase/fire for an Earthling (incomplete-line) dialysis.

A 'cool' adaptation of Ronin (John Frankenheimer).

AMLAN: Mr. Endymion seeks to make this Arles-exchange a Ronin-journal, eh?
RAKI: Isn't the life of ex-intelligence (mercs) all about inventive shopping?

AMLAN: Do you doubt Endymion's some kind of Kingdom-crusader (gems)?

RAKI: Hasn't blood-diamond (eco-capitalism) become an 'insider' game/Hell?

AMLAN: Since when is life for Ronin Facebook-like?

Amlan and Raki, connected 'Ronin' of 21st-Century of Earth of incomplete-distances readings for invisible/underground capitalism-race 'chess-stalemate' super vision, agreed to work for their Arles (France/Euro) employer (Endymion) and wielded special water-rifles (filled with acid) to disorient their (anticipated) roadways-chase vehicles (Ion-company) following a masked swap/raid of (rumored/insured) conflict-zone gems from Sierra Leone with eco-message toys (glass animals).

What was fortunate for Amlan was that Raki was a fantastic roadways auto-maneuver 'artist' and managed to create quite the chase-adventure post-deed of the masked swap of the (Ion-company) blood-diamond pieces that had seeped into the West from African conflict-zones, all the while unaware what Endymion's sources/motives were (Facebook-like).

BARONESS: I'm your go-to (dangerous-liaison).

AMLAN/RAKI: Kingdom come?
BARONESS: You needn't concern yourself with Endymion origins/motive.

AMLAN/RAKI: Or yours, lady (Baroness)?

BARONESS: How was the swap?

AMLAN/RAKI: It was the post-deed roadway roller that was more cinema!

BARONESS: Facebook-like?

The life of ex-intelligence can be quite the dark mystery in the mod-Earthling roadways, even in the Van-Gogh town of Arles/France (wow). Terrorism and piracy and insider 'vampirism' makes for quite the intelligence-surgery for explorations in the dark-side of the commercial highways of weapons/treasures/chemicals motions, and for Amlan, it was chance-opp for a driving exercise (really).

AMLAN: I can't help wondering if Raki's still intelligence, but nothing's sure.

BARONESS: For Ronin, you two.

AMLAN: Surely; Baroness, I fear for my lost Romanticism.

BARONESS: Extract from your auto-focus some waitress-IQ who'll share love.

AMLAN: Racers rarely reach road rights romance.

BARONESS: Really (capitalism-chess)?

Raki made 'toast' of the Arles-miracle(s) with an (Indian) luchi-bread thanksgiving-diner plate and recounted his life as a 'masked' Ronin, wondering who'd guess his past-overground workings with real intelligence deeds for capitalism-race super vision, which now included conflict-zone gems intercepts for deterrence in piracy-treasures destabilizing overground commerce for global net-docs. Was he (actually) Ronin (Facebook-like)?
