Angeles-Takedown

A Story by Abishai100

An LA-time deed for darkness between twins (brothers) marks this (adaptation) tale of inventions in incomplete-bureaucracy sport.

A bright adaptation/fanfiction of sorts of the gritty and fun and dark American heist-cop adventure-film LA Takedown (Michael Mann), a precursor (actually!) to Mann's more epic Heat (Robert De Niro).

AMLAN: I'm your estranged twin, buddy, in Angeles-time.

AJAY: You're a diamond-thief with a fake eco-capitalism vigilante message, bro.

AMLAN: You're a good police-detective, brother.

AJAY: These rumored/insured 'blood-diamonds' (Ion-co.) aren't your province.

AMLAN: Who says African shores conflict-zone gems smugglers aren't notes?

AJAY: If Ion's making UK-notes music in Los Angeles, you're the Devil.

AMLAN: Let's hope you can play God (Selfie-like).

Ajay was worried, despite being a very very pensive LA policeman, now that his estranged twin, his dark-half, a pro-thief, was in town blogging on social media that there were 'folks' making conflict-zone gem mining zones extractions for profit, puns, piracy, and pollution. Ajay knew Amlan was no Robin Hood or James Bond, and these 'blood-diamonds' were the stuff of police-control and not slang for vigilantism, which is what Amlan hoped to cast himself as now in Angeles-time. Ajay was the only hope (actually).

Amlan walked into the bank in Angeles-time off a passenger bus in a Scarecrow costume and holding a theater-prop water-rifle (secretly inserted with a thin-glass tube and filled with HCL). He claimed he was sent by a rival of the Ion-company for insurance street-media bank-box photos for notes-stories ahead of the transport of the treasure-notes/bonds to the UK. The bank manager thought this was some (Interpol-relation?) dodecahedrons for football diamond-ads ahead of a Rams exhibition game in the UK (hmmm).

AJAY: Nice work, evildoer.

AMLAN: Everyone's talking Ion likes Blood Diamond (Leo DiCaprio).
AJAY: Facebook like (damn).

AJAY: I'm at the street near the warehouse you're hiding-out inside.

AMLAN: Did you propose to that librarian, brother?

AJAY: You stay-away and keep-away and think-away from Shelbye, bro.

AMLAN: You catch me...and my hired evil policeman will shoot her.

AJAY: You're not Robin Hood, bro.

AMLAN: Just the Scarecrow (Selfie-like!).

Did Ajay catch Amlan? No, he didn't incarcerate the brother/twin; he had to shoot him, when he found Amlan holding an acid-gun prepared to shoot his own brother in the head (damn). Inside his briefcase of bad treasure-islands, Ajay found those notes Amlan took in Angeles-time ahead of leaving-behind a field goal case of counterfeit notes (for eco-theories). This was an LA-takedown for the Ego.
