Amlan and Marcus are two soccer-stars who coach part-time for Harvard while managing a double James-Bond life as blood-diamond piracy-highway interceptors for tracks stretching between British Columbia (North America) and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom).

They're been huge fans of soccer since they're kids, and they've played youth-leagues and for River Plate (Argentina) and currently play as subs for Valencia (Spain) when their Interpol-relations work takes them to Spain, where soccer is much more colorful than in the USA, perhaps. Their love of soccer is reflected in their collection of soccer-videos/cinema!

They're currently coordinating a Boston blood-diamond bank operation involving the swapping of piracy-gems from a baron's safe-box with toy gems for an Interpol-relations media message about Big Brother watching this new era of commerce driven urban traffic...and intrigue (New England).

They leave in the safe-box of the baron some glowing toy gems and a three-piece insect-robot transformer toy-set with a message that reads, "Don't creep across continents when there's ruffian from Interpol lurking with ideas about mechanized assets, good baron."

They then quickly shift-gears to coach for the Harvard men's soccer game which might lift the ambitious team to greater heights in the Ivy League tourney than in the past, advising on skilled 4-2-2 zone-offense maneuvers involving swift striker-motions made by good line-parallel passing. The scheme works and Harvard wins the game that glorious day in New England (Massachusetts!).

AMLAN: The private bank where the baron kept his piracy-gems is known for some underworld gem-smuggling dilemmas!
MARCUS: We made sure more monitors across continents fixed some security-spots in traffic-heavy New England (Boston).

That James-Bond operation involving blood-diamond work in Boston was a real nifty folk-tale in the underground of blood-diamond dialogue and conspiracy-talk, as it reflected a growing need for more intelligence-work in a domain where gem-sullying is threatening our modern social view on the 'imagination' behind piracy decoy-work.

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond corruption today threatens the world-diamond exchange and makes for terrorism-woes!

Amlan/Marcus then take an Aer Lingus flight conveniently to Europe where they make some plans with the UK Interpol-relations associates before then departing for their Valencia (Spain) soccer date, involving a hot rivalry game against Chelsea (England)!

AMLAN: Valencia (Spain) is truly gorgeous, whether you're a soccer fan...or not.

MARCUS: This is a time of great traffic-intrigue, and we need security monitors for travel distances...and dollars.

Valencia defeats Chelsea 1-0 thanks to a great assist from Amlan and another from Marcus which renders two striker-scores during the time the two James-Bond characters are playing on the field as substitutes, 'celebrities' from Harvard.

AMLAN: We believe some key Valencia endorsement-links in media to Diadora will lighten commercial hygiene views.

MARCUS: A 'good' antidote to modern-era blood-diamond sully-woes is consistent/regular patterns of straight consumerism.

Soccer in Europe really has become a thing of commercial/media magic and great fanfare-driven endorsements/dollars, which is why these two James-Bond dudes want to ensure the public their beloved gear-enhanced broadcast games are unfettered by the sullying of piracy-linked dangers.

While in Spain, the two dudes must accomplish yet another blood-diamond bank safe-box heist of yet another corrupt capital-baron linked to piracy-gems from Sierra Leone which will head eventually to British Columbia (North America).

They use water-guns filled with corrosive acid to burn a hole into the baron's safe-box and once more switch blood-diamonds (Sierra Leone) with toy gems and leave a media-message note for the baron to find which read, "There's plenty of water across the two great continents across the Atlantic; do be wary of the acid-burns of Interpol-queries regarding gems/toys...and distribution detention, good baron!"
