Between Axes: Smugglers Cove/Kingdom

A Story by Abishai100
"

A recruit-thief vigilante can't really choose-sides in a bipartisan smugglers 'troubles' in the UK and considers if simple human love subs for Earthling insanity.

"
A world insurance paranoia yarn, set in the troubles-laid United Kingdom.

INTERVIEW: So, is the Shadow an Ulster Volunteer Force aide, or is he IRA-retired?
SHADOW: I've worked for smugglers-intercepts in Belfast-UK for both axes, friend.
INTERVIEW: In multiple cases of eco-heist theater and water-guns with acid?
SHADOW: Let's say both the UVF/IRA has interest in black market insurance woes.
INTERVIEW: Young Catholic/Protestant men of the UVF/IRA fear dirty-gems gossip?
SHADOW: Control of consumerism for inter-religious life/capitalism is integrity!
INTERVIEW: So, the UVF/IRA hired you as a Robin Hood merry-man for gem-heists?
SHADOW: Facebook-like (for Halloween season eco-theater for blood-diamonds IQ).
INTERVIEW: You never felt any bias for the UVF or IRA, Shadow?
SHADOW: As a freelance vigilante/thief, I only weep for commerce Hell in the UK.
INTERVIEW: You're an antihero...these heists are for outfits tied to blood-diamonds.
SHADOW: Well, Parliament talks Catholic-Protestant consumerism integrity for IQ?
INTERVIEW: Still, you're independent...just pro-capitalist (Robin Hood); no bias?
SHADOW: I'm maybe a masked Catholic, but I'm not Irish...I just like clean gems.
INTERVIEW: Drama for Western fortune storytelling (Happy Halloween, Facebook).



INTERPOL: "Blood-diamond corruption makes 'rogue' finance/insurance tales."



Sure, the young Catholic (or Protestant) men of the IRA (or UVF) in troubled Belfast-UK sought seizures of black market motions of rogue diamonds coming into Northern Ireland from African conflict-zones controlled by African warlords so as not to be tied to desperado-thinking for gossip/story. That's why they (equally?) hired this antihero-thief merry-man, the Shadow (name: unknown), to intercept smugglers vehicles and make bank-box heists/swaps for street-insurance gossip/news to complement Parliament talks concerning Catholic/Protestant consumerism, capitalism, and cartography (wow).



SHELBYE: Good to have you here in my dive, you scoundrel.
SHADOW: Look, I'm just in-love with a Catholic waitress-girl in Belfast (now!).
SHELBYE: I still think you're that Shadow of underground gem-intercepts, fool.
SHADOW: Hey, if the United Kingdom Xmas-shoppers benefit post-Halloween, eat!
SHELBYE: You're in-love with my curry-stew is all, love.
SHADOW: No, no, no...this 'Shadow' doesn't know if he's IRA/UVF...I know I love ya.
SHELBYE: Whoever the Shadow is, he's sure not working in a certified Heaven (ha).
SHADOW: That's true, and I love you too.



What would become of this antihero-prince of the West (name: unknown)? Sure, he felt some (private) psyche-angst about not really deciding any background/experience 'bias' for Catholic/Protestant axes concerning this new era Hell for diamonds/smuggling and black market gossip could/would be applied for some enhanced human-humility feelings of excitement, since he was, after all, just a thief/vigilante. He felt sorry for both sides of this nasty/historic 'trouble' between Catholics and Protestants in Belfast...and he was in love with the waitress he courted off-duty (Shelbye). He wanted only to watch some globalism-rhetoric pro-optimism cinema with Shelbye...maybe Disney's Robin Hood (ha).
