Boston: Bank Robbery*

A Story by Abishai100

A computer nerd robs a Dutch baron of blood-diamonds from a Boston bank and becomes a mermaid-dartmouth!

Here's one last one inspired by Blood Diamond (Leo DiCaprio) and also The Town (Ben Affleck). Hope you like it (and thanks for reading!),

Boston is such a colorful multicultural city, filled with great schools/universities including the world-renowned Harvard (which is actually in nearby 'sub-town' Cambridge!). Boston has great sports fans and bars and restaurants. It also has great commerce.

Amlan Satan is a bank robber. He's a computer nerd who dropped out of Harvard to design a video-game involving bank robbery. Now, Amlan wants to rob an actual bank in Boston, the very fine Bank of America!

AMLAN: I love water-guns and want to use one for this masked robbery of Bank of America in Boston!

Amlan likes collecting many kinds of toys, including neon phones and baseball memorabilia and antiques, but he really likes water-guns. How'll he use his water-gun scheme to make this Boston bank robbery worth remembering?

BANK MANAGER: Our institution is a very respected one in Boston, and our fine building speaks to our excellence.

AMLAN: Boston is no stranger to crime, and there's plenty of race-crimes here too, but bank robbery won't be violent by me.

The Bank of America services and amenities inside are quite nice as is the personnel. The security is also tight, since the institution caters to Boston's wealthy elite as well as professors.

Amlan walks into the Bank of America in Boston wearing a clown-clear mask intending to take the diamonds from safe-box #445. You see, Satan (Amlan) has discovered this safe-box belongs to a Dutch baron named Kuyt whose diamonds are from the nefarious blood-diamond highway in South Africa!

Amlan walks in and grabs the security guard at the entrance and tells him he's from a local theater group making a Christmas-toy play for a stage club in Boston. He shows the guard his water-gun and reveals it's filled with corrosive acid. He tells the guard he wishes to be escorted to the safe-box #445, belonging to the Dutch baron Kuyt, filled with the illicit blood diamonds from South Africa. The guard asks him how he knows this, and Amlan (masked!) explains he's an insider with tips from the local authorities/detectives tracking blood diamonds and wants no trouble with the press with this blood diamond heist. He threatens to even shoot the guard in the hands and cause an acid-burn, so the guard escorts him to Kuyt's diamonds!

Amlan takes $20 million worth of Kuyt's blood-diamonds and switches them for the fake ones he's brought with him, pretending to be an investor with toy-merchandise connections with the Christmas-toy play stage event. He hops onto a Boston metro and gets to the airport where he can grab a KLM flight to Amsterdam.

AMLAN: I've sold the blood-diamonds in the Dutch black market and will retire making mermaid paintings now.

So, our nerdy computer video-game designer didn't end up with a loud career designing video-games involving virtual bank robbery after all. Instead, he's become a blood-diamond hijacker in the North American circuit. Now, he's in Amsterdam selling amateur artworks of gorgeous mermaids of the Caribbean! Meanwhile, his blood diamond pseudo-vigilantism has spawned a series of copycat bank heists, all directed at recent warlords coming into North America with blood diamond ambition.
