Arles Arrows End

Amlan and Raki are suddenly cast as French roadways merc-pals for a mystery job in a mystery underside 'intelligence' world as mystery-IQ mercs with ex-intelligence helmet.

A world ex-intelligence roadways adventure inspired by my fave underworld/CIA film-expo Ronin (John Frankenheimer), which I hope you like,

AMLAN: So, we're to Arles; I remember my college foreign-program in this town.

RAKI: As ex-intelligence ('Ronin') of Earth, we've no time/space for fortunes, pal.

AMLAN: At least our mystery-employer may pity our condition as roaming mercs.

RAKI: We're just to make a diamond-transport speedways 'game' for Selfie-IQ.

AMLAN: Any clue about ties to the Paris Games (Olympics-consumerism)?

RAKI: Should we care...Selfie-like?

EMPLOYER: You'll find Arles a great town where Van Gogh made art; bread cans!

AMLAN/RAKI: We're to uncover nothing 'worldly' about the gems/insurance move?

EMPLOYER: You know your Ronin-lot; why there's simplified helmets for the Ego!

AMLAN/RAKI: The image of French toast for this merc-assignment is guns/cars.

EMPLOYER: Were you looking for something more...Selfie-tourism 'chess' mark?

AMLAN/RAKI: No (thanx).

Well, this wasn't to be simplified French toast for art in Arles (France) as the Paris Games fast approached; for Amlan/Raki, the roadways 'game' featured simplified merc work and then uncovery of nothing of value for human beings as merc-status wandering 'employees' of the assigned task-at-hand, ironically inviting the two 'pals' to wonder if one of them was still-intelligence, discovering their employer's field goal ties to art/diamonds/sports/leviathan (wow).

The roadways chase portion was a real 'examination' for Amlan/Raki who discovered their 'teamwork-status' for skills of Ronin, displaced/misplaced warriors of 'intelligence' working without master/government and wandering as mercs of a dark light. Amlan was the cool-cat driver and Raki was the excellent shootist of enemy-road chasing tires of invisible/unknown faces of invisible hell. Wasn't this the reason Amlan and Raki were once overground pro-intelligence, driving as more patriot-IQ sportsmen (for social media tourism)?

AMLAN: This was half-success; I continue my sleuth-exploit in Arles/Brussels.

RAKI: I'm enjoying some table-tennis, pal.

AMLAN: I get this hunch you'd been working some security-protocol in London.

RAKI: Who cares if our Ronin label concerns marks for watches enjoyed by all?

AMLAN: Don't fear...perchance we take-away some superstition for Arles-cleats.

RAKI: Van Gogh diplodocus (ok!).
