Escape from Tree [Chicago]

A Story by Abishai100

A Windy City 'tall-tale' about nerdy infiltrations into underworld piracy-gem safe-boxes and the drama created by vigilante-distancing.

A light-hearted crime-world parody inspired by A Fish Called Wanda (Kevin Kline).

A string of blood-diamond heists in Chicago signaled a strange undercurrent of crime-world conspiracy linked to a crime-lord's sneaky intention to used staged robberies to make himself look more like a saint/martyr in the Chicago press (Sun Times).

This crime-boss is Dartmouth and he lives in an idyllic mansion in the Windy City, and two dastardly blood-diamond guerrilla-intelligence officers with Interpol-relations are trying to heist his piracy-gem jewel-box and swap this treasury for toy gems to place in his bank safe-box for a media-message about Dartmouth's fat-cat digs in his Chicago estate!

The two nerdist-guerrillas are Amlan and Marcus and they're doubling/posing as nerdy Chicago diamond-merchants and media-agents talking about North American gem-markets, and they'll be walking into Dartmouth's Chicago mansion costumed as theater-performers sent to do an in-house performance about the style/dazzle of diamond sales in the West!

They ask the dastardly crime-lord if he's willing to drink lots with them and he does and they ask him to showboat his famed jewel-box to them and he does and they ask him to dance around while drunk and while he's doing so, they swap all the gems in his box with fakes/toys and make-off that night without him noticing.

BARON DARTMOUTH: I've sent out my 'legion' of Windy City swat-officers to find these two Interpol-relations rascals!

The two thieves (Amlan/Marcus) were in that crime-lord's mansion in Chicago on that special Saturday-eve costumed as special 'politics-guerrilla' maudlin-thespians, and Amlan played the mock-terrorist/pirate named Rufio.

Marcus meanwhile was masked/costumed as the theater-artist named Tibalt and created a special presentation about diamond-juggling and this was all possible, since everyone that night in that Dartmouth estate was simply inebriated...but Marcus (and Amlan his cohort!) could handle/move around as drunks.

The two officer-thieves hijacked two municipal transport-trucks to get to an Interpol-relations station to have the other half of their fakes/toys gems sent to the Dartmouth bank safe-box for a media-disclosure about underworld piracy-gem humility, and the truck-drives that night in the city was something of a joke!

AMLAN/MARCUS: We also placed some water-guns in the Dartmouth safe-box (bank) containing blue juice.

WAITRESS: You two look like nerdy little James Bond characters or something this Saturday night, and I think you're secret.

We believe the Dartmouth gems from the Windy City estate were moved to a Zurich-box and to a Chicago museum box for some later disclosed Interpol-relations query about bonds between the underworld and lucrative treasure/art markets linked all the way to Holland and Sierra Leone.
