Arles-Ronin: B+

A Story by Abishai100
"

Can an Arles 'examination' for ex-intelligence yield an 'academic' view for what makes (invisible) mercenary work quite distant?

A mercenary-Euro adventure inspired by Ronin (John Frankenheimer). Thanks for reading!

AMLAN: This Arles work has Baroness prints on it for blood-diamond (eco-IQ).
RAKI: As ex-intelligence mercs wandering around as Ronin, we can't care!
AMLAN: You're right, but maybe you're still-intelligence (CIA?).
RAKI: You can trust me...I'm much more speedy than this Baroness (employer).
AMLAN: Selfie-like?



Arles was where we find our wandering mercenaries, Ronin of Earth, masterless/displaced (or misplaced!) samurai-warriors working invisibly in a black-market game for their mystery-employer (Baroness) who sought some diamond-case swap/lift/chase with (Ion-co.) road warrior minions, but Raki swapped the gems with glass-animal toys (eco-message) and Amlan proved the insurance-safeties for Arles police eye by evading the minions/adversaries with alley-twists/turns for a cool examination for the Baroness (Selfie-like).



The gents (heroes?) were quite-good, and Amlan spent time in Arles (once) while on an exchange from Dartmouth and wanted to find a lady-waitress to share Van Goth bread with...and forget about chemical warfare (sure).



BARONESS: Thanx, heroes!
AMLAN/RAKI: Are you headed for some Turkey examination with eco-capitalism?
BARONESS: Why not?
AMLAN/RAKI: Into the Louvre are ya?
BARONESS: Why not?
AMLAN/RAKI: We're off to the Olympics, Baroness.
BARONESS: Why not?
AMLAN/RAKI: Ronin don't care for hyperbole?
BARONESS: Why not?



Years later, we find Amlan working inside the games of some UK-veil, perchance for a memoir of what made his Baroness-Arles 'mission' something of a hype for himself (and Raki too!). This was a tale of mercenary-sensibility and Selfie-languages for ex-intelligence adjectives. Would you want to be a Ronin (Facebook-like)? Selfie-culture makes Super Bowl TV-revenue culture-couches fare more...dodecahedrons (no?).
