AMLAN: New Orleans finds us as a darling Mardi Gras pair of adopted siblings?

DANICA: We don't know who our real parents were and our new host is evil.

AMLAN: Mardi Gras escapism brings us cheer, sister (no?).

DANICA: We'll have to return to our home to that psycho stepfather, brother.

AMLAN: What if I go back alone and tell him you were kidnapped during trip?

DANICA: I guess he'd believe you, since you'd go back home with the sad news!

AMLAN: It's worth the effort, and then you can plot to rescue me (somehow!).

DANICA: Here's to the 'fiction' of Mardi Gras, brother (ha).

Amlan did go home and return to his psycho stepfather's house in a Homeland-Jersey area, prototype-suburbia (Echelon), where his alcoholic 'guardian' was frolicking in some Halloween avatar-costume claiming he was (finally!) ready to bloody-murder Amlan and his (darling?) sister (Danica). However, when Amlan returned with the bad-news and a sports football market 'trophy' card for regrets/prayers of American patriot value, his stepfather believed Danica was (somehow!) kidnapped in New Orleans (hmmm).

AMLAN: I got us this Thanksgiving-football TV culture Detroit-city QB-treasure.

STEPFATHER: Hmmmm.

AMLAN: It shall console us in TV/culture prayers for loss of sister, daddy (ok).

STEPFATHER: Hmmmm.

AMLAN: Detroit's Thanksgiving-football 'rich' and this QB-rookie card is USA.

STEPFATHER: Hmmmm.

AMLAN: I'll blog about the Detroit-football card and draw IQ for our TV-home!

STEPFATHER: Hmmmm.

AMLAN: This is the dawn of a Selfie-age of football-prayers; Danica's memory!

STEPFATHER: Hmmmm.

AMLAN: Maybe we'll (finally) bond together as (actual) father-son shake!

STEPFATHER: Hmmmm.

The trick worked and Amlan blogged (liberally now!) about this 'trophy' card, a Detroit-Thanksgiving patriot-sports image QB-rookie item of Lombardi-trophy premonitions that drew the interest of a Brussels-investor Danica met in New Orleans and flew-away with to prep her (miracle!) rescue of her brother. Amlan told his stepfather he met an architect for sports design themes for restaurants who'd use his (autographed) football card image (Detroit-city) for a shared-investment, promising him to send home money for father-son prayers. His stepfather let Amlan fly-away (eventually) and into the arms of his awaiting angel-sister (Danica). This was Facebook-like.

FLIGHT-ATTENDANT: Have gorgeous Air India flight to Europe, sir.

AMLAN: I got a nice discount ticket, and I'm eager for tasty Indian cuisine!

FLIGHT-ATTENDANT: That's a gorgeous football card in your hand, sir.

AMLAN: Thanx...it's my special (secret!) golden-ticket to a new promise/life.

FLIGHT-ATTENDANT: Facebook-like, sir (for the angels)?
