A Story by Abishai100
"

Idealistic merry-man of diamonds and black market woe marks a teller-lady for escapist-romance and post-heist superstition gossip for a consumerism-khaki nerdism.

BANK MANAGER: This guy had a Halloween theater act with water-guns.
DETECTIVE: Used a water-gun filled with acid to make box burn/swap, eco-art?
BANK MANAGER: Took our teller-lady as theater-hostage; prepped her pre-heist!
DETECTIVE: Your teller (Esmerelda) claimed she knew the owner of the gems?
BANK MANAGER: Something about rumored/insured 'blood-diamonds' traffic, ok.
DETECTIVE: Now, the gems owner/company wants no street-gossip for eco-IQ.
BANK MANAGER: Facebook-like (for Esmerelda's known friends, sir).
DETECTIVE: Thanx (Happy Halloween).



The irony of this weird Boston-town heist of eco-capitalism ('blood-diamonds') gossip was that it was not full-known if teller-lady Esmerelda had ties with the gems owner/company the thief on Halloween Day (Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian American Catholic Bostonian eco-writer) 'used' for a recorded special insurance-gossip art-show about swapping rumored/insured smugglers-diamonds with his own diamonds. Esmerelda quit her job and flew-away to Brussels, and rumors in the Town flew the masked Robin Hood 'hero' met her there after falling in love (ok). Amlan left a note with the guardsman escorting him to the vault for the recording that read, "Pre-Xmas gems-consumerism insurance work for our Boston-town insider-games of rivals and Interpol for eco-know and Esmerelda too!"



ESMERELDA: Water-gun with HCL, Satan?
AMLAN: I'm Robin Hood and you're Maid Marian, ha.
ESMERELDA: Brussels for waffles with your ('earned') insurance-prize?
AMLAN: We retire and make waffles for travelers now, for eco-capitalism!
ESMERELDA: Was the gems company/owner in on some African shores kiln, man?
AMLAN: There were rumors, but I loved Boston-town for its know-no (ok!).
ESMERELDA: Belgian waffles and toys (Facebook-like).



Amlan and lady-Esmerelda did make it all the way to Belgium to treat travelers to waffles for Euro-life, and Mr. Satan wondered if the currency/insurance work wrought for Town-gossip and eco-consciousness would make him feel greater as a married Robin Hood man of 'deeds' and notes for waffle-profits worth an Earthling onside 'thing' of modern everyday consumerism know-no (for all!).
