Ronin/West

Does 'Ronin' work (Arles) yield cleats for diamonds for ex-intelligence road-runners with a question for their employer ('Baroness')?

An ex-intelligence yarn inspired by the excellent modern underworld 'market' film Ronin (John Frankenheimer).

AMLAN: This French (Arles) roadways chase has Ronin distance from Van Gogh art.

RAKI: We're to complete the ex-intelligence underworld mission pre-vacation, pal!

AMLAN: Oh, of course; Ronin (displaced/masterless warriors) are paid outlanders.

RAKI: Our mystery-employer ('Baroness') has us thinkin' Arles-toast for Selfie-IQ.

AMLAN: Maybe she's prepping the diamond-transport for Olympics-gems ads?

RAKI: Or maybe smugglers roadways exploitation for cheap pirate-journals.

AMLAN: Selfie-like (ok).

The road-chase in Arles was great. Amlan/Raki sped-off with Ion-co. conflict-zone smuggled gems in France for their mystery-employer ('Baroness') and made nifty ex-intelligence legends/maps for invisible work with special skills acquired from their ex-masters, as 'Ronin' of Earth. Ronin were Japanese samurai who lost their master, requiring them to wander with auto focus as simplified mercs with fortune cleats (wow).

The Baroness was relieved the road-chase ended with Amlan/Raki cornering the Ion-co. minions inside an ancient relic of tourist-value with special silencer hands and then transporting the rumored 'blood-diamonds' for an (earned?) commission. She wondered if the two 'Ronin' would stay behind in Arles to visit what inspired Van Gogh to the peace of art/fiction (sure).

BARONESS: Thanx for the Blu-ray gift, gents.

AMLAN/RAKI: You looked like you carried that worldly visage of Netflix-love, lady.

BARONESS: You're curious about the origins/destination of the treasures/islands?

AMLAN/RAKI: Ronin don't ask, Baroness (sure).

BARONESS: Wise...perhaps these are UK-bound pre-Olympics (Paris), gents?

AMLAN/RAKI: We don't care...we don't even know if we're (both) ex-intelligence.

BARONESS: Ha, that's the subject of cinema (good).
