====

In a fair area of the East Coast, a ruthless tycoon named Val was hoarding all kinds of blood-diamonds, warlord-mine gems from South Africa used to finance terrorism, which were smuggled in from Europe! Val also kept in his dominion in this otherwise fair area of the East Coast a lovely redhaired maiden named Rapunzel, who was basically sold to him by her father when she was a teenager to pay a gambling debt. Val put Rapunzel through school/college but now intended to marry her and settle down in this area of the East Coast and make her his dominion wench in this American place.



However, a fairer prince named Amlan Satan who happened to be studying Adam Smith capitalism at Seton Hall while doubling as an Interpol-agency related underground 'pirate-ninja' usurping the spheres constructed by ruthless capitalism-barons bringing blood-diamond traffic from Africa/Europe into North America. Satan (Amlan) liked making cartoon graphics of great maidens/damsels who reminded him that government intervention/heroics in modern capitalism could remind everyday people of the sheer beauty of civilization!



AMLAN SATAN: I don't consider myself an eccentric or a thief...simply a modern American...dancer.



INTERPOL: Blood-diamond traffic comprises some of the worst threats to modern diamond market capitalism today.



Amlan Satan would have to get into his usual/standard pirate-ninja gear and get-ups for his work as an infiltrator-interceptor of baron blood-diamond traffic on the East Coast now. He gave himself the thief-alias 'Sparrow' and intended to threaten the capital dominions of warlord-gem smugglers like Val on the East Coast who're making life much easier for terrorists. As the wily 'Sparrow' on the East Coast, connected to Seton Hall, Amlan Satan could serve as a credit-wielding safe-cracker.



AMLAN SATAN: I've met a gorgeous American maiden, a true red beauty named Rapunzel!



Sparrow (Amlan Satan) learned this young love-of-his-life Rapunzel was enslaved to the East Coast baron Val and was forced to eventually marry the blood-diamond corrupting tycoon! He was heart-broken, realizing that the young Rapunzel had no way out of this death-trap because of a life-gambling debt owed by her unfortunate and foolish father! Sparrow (Amlan Satan) decided to hide Rapunzel in a Seton Hall church, and then he had an ally bring in Val for a mysterious meeting, during which Val saw Rapunzel praying in the Seton Hall church. Sparrow (Amlan Satan) walked into the church building disguised as a priest, claiming that Rapunzel was his new convert and must be allowed to seek a life of advented born-again spirituality in a European convent!



Sparrow carried Rapunzel off to Geneva where he bought her a home they shared after they got married. Every Sunday, she'd visit the local church and sit costumed as a Christian nun while making toy bead jewelry for Christian ornaments. This way, if the townsfolk were inquired about her by any of the infamous baron Val and/or his associates, they'd think this modern maiden just might be a church-going jewelry ornamenting Christian devotee! This is how the thief-prince Sparrow (Amlan Satan) bargained away the red maiden Rapunzel to jeweled safety...away from the capitalism cruelties of modern dangers.



Rapunzel!
Rapunzel!
Let down your hair
That I may climb thy golden stair!
