Germany Heist: Plunkett

A wily ex-CIA diamond pirate named Plunkett orchestrates a Robin Hood heist of Baron Kuyt's conflict-gems in Frankfurt...drawing divinity.

Here's a terrific blood-diamond vignette set in the great Euro-city of Frankfurt, inspired by Killing Zoe. Enjoy!

The European city of Frankfurt (Germany) is the home of its celebrated and well-maintained international airport, servicing its very illustrious Lufthansa airlines. Frankfurt had become a global urban symbol of Germany's post-WWII resurrection and is therefore the location of our unusual blood-diamond heist tale involving a wily Algerian-American thief named Plunkett, ex-CIA. Welcome to Frankfurt!

PLUNKETT: The bank I'm robbing is the iconic Deutsche Bank (Frankfurt), holding safe-boxes with Baron Kuyt blood-diamonds.

Plunkett, a green-eyed diamond-thief born in Algeria, studied at Dartmouth before traveling around Europe stealing blood-diamond belonging to corrupt capitalism-barons like Emil Kuyt who smuggle in conflict-gems from Africa used to finance terrorism. This is threatening the global reliability of the diamond matrix, and modern real-life pirates like our affable Plunkett represent a 'Robin Hood' faction working against the might of these blood-diamond barons. Plunkett is a man of great skill and cunning, and he intends to steal Kuyt's blood-diamonds from Deutsche Bank now that his career with the CIA as a conflict-gem infiltration agent in the Netherlands is over.

PLUNKETT: I'm replacing Kuyt's blood-diamonds with German chocolates in his safe-box, in a deed of comic-book design.

Plunkett walks into the Deutsche bank wearing a strange Coronavirus head-gear and sunglasses and hat which conceals his appearance completely! He explains to the bank manager he's opening a confectionery in Frankfurt (Germany) and has sample toys in his merchant's bag to showcase to the bank for his new account that day, in which he'll deposit his own (fake) diamonds while sharing his sample toys and chocolates with these accountants.

BANK MANAGER: We're considered one of the finest banks in Europe, and we value our diamond-patrons the most.

Once inside the bank vault room, Plunkett shows the escorting manager and guardsman that one of his toy water-guns is filled with corrosive HCL acid. The shocked manager/guardsman wonders why, and Plunkett explains he's still with the CIA, working to undo the spheres of blood-diamond traffic created by new era Euro-barons hiding with conflict-gems from Africa and elsewhere! The shocked manager/guardsman realize that this 'ex-CIA' man Plunkett, in disguise and mask, is someone of great governmental operations. Plunkett tells the manager he'll just leave some Ritter German chocolates in Kuyt's safe-box as a media joke and political warning to Baron Kuyt for the newspapers to read. He explains his 'acid-gun' is something he takes around banks for his special safe-box burning operations for Interpol and others. While the now amused manager and guardsman are busy playing with Plunkett's sample 'acid-gun' in his bag, the master diamond-pirate swaps his fake diamonds with Kuyt's blood-diamonds and walks out with the $20 million African stones from Deutche Bank that heist day in Germany, folks.

Afterwards, Plunkett is enjoying a great jar of beer at a Frankfurt bistro when he's entranced by the lovely German beer-maid named Elka. They start dating of course, and Plunkett his nevertheless horrified to discover she's the daughter of the Deutsche Bank manager, Fred Klaus. Plunkett has no choice but to reveal to his future wife Elka his complete identity and political activities and personal Robin Hood mission with blood-diamonds in Germany!

FRED: I want you to become a decent husband for Elka, Plunkett.
PLUNKETT: I know that, sir, which is why I purchase you these antique German war-treasures!
FRED: I admit Plunkett that these relics of Germany history are indeed diamond valuables for us.

PLUNLETT: I intend to make us all very happy, good sir (and father!).

The day of the diamond-heist from Deutsche Bank, Plunkett had hopped onto the Frankfurt Metro system to high-tail it out of the bank area with Baron Kuyt's deadly blood-diamonds from Africa! It was during this labyrinth train-ride en-route to Berlin where Plunkett transferred the gem-value for hard assets for his private Swiss account that he started wondering if he needed more spiritual passion in his life. What a train ride, right?

FRED: Those German Ritter chocolates Plunkett left in our safe-box that day represent real blood-diamond media dollars.

Plunkett moved to the USA with his German wife Elka and took a position at the Firedog computer consultancy office with the Circuit City consumer electronics company (in Virginia!). Plunkett had always been an expert in computing and network grids of an architectural quality, and his cherished Firedog position represented his commitment to Elka as a real modern American man of capitalism esteem...and dreams!

ELKA: I don't want to settle down with a pirate who'll turn up dark salamanders or dragons of diamond hellfire from past.

This was a story of great Frankfurt (Germany) magic...and dreams. Will Plunkett and Elka become a government migration success-story for our weary new age of great commercial vanities? Only time will tell!
