Wonderland: pH {Blood-Paperback}

====

AMLAN: You're an alcoholic, co-investor pal of Wonderland (damn).

MARCUS: We met at Dartmouth and became adult-media excellence, ok?

AMLAN: You got drunk, visited our mystery-investor Baroness and stole!

MARCUS: Alright, but Wonderland-co. adult-tales (horror/sex) are now iconic.

AMLAN: That's truth; but we need hatch escape plan to Brussels with the gems.

MARCUS: These are the Baroness' (rumored/insured) blood-diamonds, Amlan.

AMLAN: I know; we'll have to get her drunk on your famous absinthe pre-flight.

MARCUS: Deposit some valued diamonds in her safe while she's unconscious?

AMLAN: Leave note, "Wonderland-pals leave gems (Antwerp) for Swiss mail."

MARCUS: Thanx (Facebook-like).

BARONESS: Damn, that drunk fool ('Marcus'?) took my African stones (streets).

ASSOCIATE: Bad lady, this Wonderland adult-media 'musketeer' is a sure mark!

BARONESS: We'll see if his Wonderland-co. co-investor buddy offers SATs.

ASSOCIATE: My teenage son actually reads some of that Wonderland crap, hon.

BARONESS: Who cares...my prestige drowns and Marcus becomes an avatar.

ASSOCIATE: For the gods of alcoholism (Facebook-like), Baroness (wow).

AMLAN: We triumphed, pal!

MARCUS: We did the deed, and you were a bright young light, Amlan my pal.

AMLAN: Now, we depart from this Orange-State hotel via air to Belgium (ha).

MARCUS: Baroness sure loved your absinthe, Amlan.

AMLAN: I have to snatch my girlfriend (Esmerelda) from a Miami diner (quick).

MARCUS: Please hurry...if Baroness' minions get-wind of this hideout, we die!

AMLAN: I know, I know...Esmerelda's waiting (with a doctor's note), ok?

MARCUS: Cool (Selfie-like).

INTERVIEW: Your gems now have street tie with a Swiss operand, Baroness?
BARONESS: Yes, and Amlan and Marcus left me their Wonderland-co. trophies!

INTERVIEW: Street talk concerns your smugglers-ties with African/Irish gems.

BARONESS: I dunno about these 'blood-diamonds' and wished Wonderland well!
INTERVIEW: I guess rich Western investor-mazes make for 'cool' fanzine-talk?

BARONESS: That's why I'm satisfied, fool...Amlan/Marcus retire to Antwerp.

INTERVIEW: And you're the cyber-Gatsby 'face' for some adult-media Catholics?

BARONESS: Selfie-like (good).

Of course, Amlan and Marcus didn't flee to Antwerp but to Brussels and assumed different IDs and opened an eats-dive with Esmerelda as hostess (ha). The Baroness carried-on, not knowing Amlan helped his mired buddy of now-closed Wonderland media money out of a serious capitalist-hellmouth (wow). Amlan mused, "Absinthe is for the modern Catholic what curare was to Sherlock Holmes...lifestyle-helmet."

"Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about" (Ralph Waldo Emerson).
