American Navy: Saigon Mission*

A Story by Abishai100

The Pirates are Navy-linked operatives in Saigon, and leader Amlan is a Harvard-sleuth with a blood-diamond napkin to outwit barons!

An Asian blood-diamond vignette inspired by The Saint. Enjoy!

Amlan and Esmerelda are two Harvard professors. They love Cambridge, Massachusetts. Esmerelda is Amlan's wife but has no idea he uses Harvard resources to coordinate underground blood-diamond operations with Interpol-relations to subvert North American terrorism-financing! Harvard Square is a very idyllic home community atmosphere for Amlan/Esmerelda.

AMLAN: I've been recruited for a Navy mission into Saigon involving blood-diamonds.

ESMERELDA: I simply wish I knew more about what you actually do at Harvard!

Amlan didn't want to worry his beautiful wife Esmerelda, whom he really loves and cares for, so he took her to a showing of the Leo DiCaprio film Blood Diamond at the iconic Loews movie-theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts prior to his departure for Saigon.

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond corruption threatens the modern global diamond-exchange and requires agency!

AMLAN: We don't want North American sullying connected to terrorism-financing with our trauma memory of 9/11.

Amlan is given the US gov't-infiltration code-name Storm-Shadow and heads to Saigon and recruits two team-mates to help him steal the blood-diamonds belonging to the world capitalism-baron Goldfinger who uses gems to fund terrorists all over Asia/Europe. Saigon is a colorful city, and Amlan integrates himself as a photographer and stakes-out the bank and city traffic prior to the diamond-heist.

Amlan's two cohorts are Asian operatives also working with blood-diamond infiltration of terrorism-financing modern barons of corrupted capitalism. The trio called themselves the Pirates and would walk into the Saigon Bank costumed as a circus-team putting on a street-show outside the bank involving water-guns and Baron Goldfinger's famous Euro-gems.

Amlan (code-name: Storm-Shadow): I'll make connections with the Navy ship in Saigon harbor to move the stolen gems.

The Pirates walk into the Saigon Centre after staking out the bank all day and night prior to the day of the Goldfinger mission.

They start performing a street-show outside the bank for the entertained bank guardsmen using their water-guns and then request the bank manager come out to enjoy the show.

They request to be taken to the safe-box area of the bank-vault room and start taking supervised photos of Baron Goldfinger's famous diamonds and while the escorting manager/guardsman are distracted while playing with their water-guns and standing right in front of the only security-camera inside the safe-box area, Amlan ('Storm-Shadow') swaps Goldfinger's blood-diamonds with replica-fakes hidden in the lining of his theatrical thick costume-shirt. The Pirates walk out of the busy work-day at the Saigon Bank with Goldfinger's gems.

After moving the diamonds through the Navy ship of the USA parked in the Saigon harbor, Amlan makes his way back to America and watches the American dynasty film Mr. Destiny with his wife Esmerelda at Cambridge (on Netflix!).
