Ronin C++

A Story by Abishai100

Ex-intelligence exchange handshakes and road-skill games of underworld diamond-intrigue and smugglers-intercepts/chase for an Arles decimal.

A world-intelligence mercenary roadways inquiry inspired by the excellent ex-intelligence drama/romance/thriller Ronin (John Frankenheimer). Thanks for reading!

AMLAN: This Arles work for the Baroness has mark of eco-capitalism badness.

RAKI: Ex-intelligence/mercenary lack advantages of employer-inquiry, pal.

AMLAN: Surely; you know of the Ronin (masterless/displaced samurai-warriors).

RAKI: You know of intelligence 'overground' roadways skill; as you're in-practice?

AMLAN: You can trust me...I'm Selfie-like.

RAKI: Cool (thanx).

While Amlan prepped the roadways-chase game with Ion-co. diamonds black-market gargoyles in Arles/France, Raki used his extra credit computer-hacker skills to tap into this Euro-underworld of treasures/insurance communication stretching to warlord-zones of rogue finances/mining in Africa (Sierra Leone). They didn't question if the Baroness was somehow tying this all up with the upcoming Paris Games diamonds showcase, since it wasn't relevant to their social media, as Ronin of Earth (wow).

BARONESS: Thanx for the prompt/promptness, heroes!

AMLAN/RAKI: We're into art and off to off-time for Van Gogh memoir-senses.

BARONESS: Good for Arles (take-care!).

AMLAN/RAKI: You're into Kingdom-arts of the Irish variety, no?

BARONESS: I'm into everything; Academy Awards; take-care.

AMLAN/RAKI: Ronin of Earth...not even a Western-American cue (for Arles!).

BARONESS: It's all art, gents (thanx).

Amlan vanished with Baroness' departure, and Raki still wondered if he was still CIA, but Raki stayed in Arles as he told Baroness (just as Amlan had!) and began work on some hardware design/imports for a possible start-up business, to retire from a life of hard-learned skill applied for bad Rationalism. Hey, that's what Arles had to offer for a Ronin...regardless of interest in a computer mouse (hmmmm).
