One more fun heist story set in Boston and featuring two Robin Hood characters. Enjoy (signing off),

Two men got off Aer Lingus, having flown from Belfast and then to Dublin and then to New York. They then took an Amtrak train to Boston. These men were ex-IRA (Irish Republican Army). One was Algerian-American and the other was half-Irish and half-Romanian. The two men, Amlan and Sean, thought their Aer Lingus flight was very pleasing and comfortable and without any fear of terrorism!

AMLAN: We're robbing the Bank of America in Boston.

SEAN: Yeah, and the dollar amount is $80 million.

AMLAN: Yes, in gold bars.

SEAN: Let's do some street research.

AMLAN: We'll dress in suits.

Now, the Bank of America building in Boston is very impressive. It's a high-rise and there's lots of security and glass and very nice architecture and interesting design work. It's the kind of bank that reflects the general flair of Boston traffic. However, during this planned robbery of the bank, the 2020 US Presidential Election events were under way, so there was some extra anti-terrorism security on the streets. The Bank of America was nevertheless going to function under high resolution at the time, so Amlan and Sean had to be perfect!

AMLAN: This is a very fine bank.

SEAN: There're rumors some of the gold is evil.

AMLAN: Yes, it funnels to some druglords from Europe.

SEAN: We'll be like Robin Hood.

The inside of the Bank of America building really was immaculate. Amlan and Sean took photos of just about everything prior to the robbery. They noted the tellers standing in front of protective windows and certainly by alarm-buttons. They noticed armed guards standing under security cameras. They noticed lots of computers, suggesting the security system was computerized. They were in awe of this American bank.

Because the inside was almost entirely glass, the robbery would have to be quiet and bullets would not fly all over the place leading to broken front entrance glass alerting the police who're roving around because of the 2020 US Presidential Election events and because the candidates, Trump and Biden, were both in town. Amlan and Sean had to be very professional here. This bank was almost like a hotel.

AMLAN: I like Donald Trump.
SEAN: I like Biden myself!

As people flocked to the election events and usual Boston political flair street shows, even as everyone was in Coronavirus masks, Amlan and Sean planned their daring robbery. The gold they'd steal would be taken from a druglord, and they'd gift some of it to some political operatives working with Protestant-Catholic troubles in the United Kingdom. This was going to be an all-around American politically-loaded 'street' scene, man!

Amlan and Sean walked into the bank on the day of the robbery with fake IDs pretending to be foreign investors from London. They requested to be shown the gold in the vault-room and given demos of the security levels. When they were taken inside the vault-room by the bank executive and two armed guards, Amlan and Sean pulled out two paper rabbit-folding masks of heavy material from their briefcase and put it on their heads before they were under the view of the security cameras inside the vault-room itself.

The bank executive asked Amlan and Sean why they donned paper rabbit-masks, and the two guards decided to reach for the guns in the belts they had as security men. However, at that time, Amlan and Sean pulled out two syringes hidden in the sliding soles of their dress-shoes and injected the two guards and knocked them out immediately. The syringes were filled with a chemical inducing temporary complete unconsciousness. Amlan and Sean then pulled out their cell phones and pulled out the battery chamber to pull out a tiny explosive device and threatened to put the device into the bank exeuctive's mouth if he didn't cooperate. The executive was horrified and had no choice but to cooperate and stood outside the open vault while Amlan and Sean walked in wearing their rabbit-masks and put in the $40 million worth in gold bars inside a fold-out duffel bag hidden in their briefcase. They left their briefcases in the vault-room and locked the executive inside wearing the rabbit-mask they put on him!

Amlan and Sean then walked into the Bank of America bathroom on the first-floor and sneaked out the window and jumped into their escape vehicle, a plain white van parked in the rear of the building. They drove away with the $40 million in gold bars as street fare and cops patrolled around the 2020 US Presidential Electione events going on in the nearby building on the street where the bank was located, Federal Street. Amlan and Sean sold the gold on the black market and got their money and hopped onto an Aer Lingus flight back to Dublin where they'd connect with their two girlfriends, a sports-cheerleader and a stewardess.

AMLAN: Isn't it funny we robbed gold in broad daylight during the Election events?

SEAN: Yes, but the gold money belonged partly to a druglord, so we're like Robin Hood.

AMLAN: What is it about Boston that's so darn...spiritual?
SEAN: I think it's the actual people that make that American city basically ABCD.

AMLAN: Very cool.

I liked the inclusion of Amtrak in this. I've ridden Amtrak many times, and I love it!

The rabbit mask was also an excellent touch.

Great job on this one!
