A Story by Abishai100

A strange narrated 'account' of an Interpol-gossip 'bank-performance' possibly tied to diamond(s)-theater.

A thrilling heist-vignette inspired by Heat (Michael Mann) and set in Los Angeles (Cali). Enjoy (and thanks for reading!),

I'll never forget that silly-strange day in the City of Angels when I was driving my taxi around and parked in front of the major insured bank in downtown when I witnessed a very unusual heist involving 4 men who walked in with beards, got to the front of the teller-window lines, separately but simultaneously (different windows) and then put on masks and gave each window-teller a briefcase of 'counterfeit' bearer-bonds in exchange for $1M (each) in insured dollar-bills, all belonging to a blood-diamond businesswoman (Shelbye O'Hara).

They each told each of their window-tellers, while I was inside the bank too after parking my taxi outside, that they wielded toy water-guns filled with acid and intended to take the $1M/each in exchange for the 'counterfeit' bearer-bonds to make a media-stunt theater message about Ms. O'Hara's insured money tied to some new Interpol-media inquiry surrounding insured securities-exchange/assets linked to African stones and wanted the press to think it was a pro-maneuver (perhaps linked to the LAPD!).

Now, each of these robbers walked in with briefcases, separately of course, and each wore beards/mustaches, which I now (simply) assume were fake/paste-on(s). Each robber then put on their individual/unique masks/gear while performing their 'whisper-heists' in about 10-mins. total before running out (together) and hopping into a parked taxi (right outside!).

BANK MANAGER: We'd not anticipated anything 'extra-ordinary' at our fine insured institution that sunny day in Los Angeles.

The taxi was later exposed to be a rented-stolen car repainted and customized to look like a normal cab-car in the City of Angels. I saw them drive-away from inside the bank glass-panel wall/window! For a moment, I even wondered if this escape-car was somehow linked to my own taxi-company!

We don't know what the robbers actually looked like without their beards/mustaches and eventual put-on masks/gear, so we only have 'rough' estimates of what this 'Interpol-gossip' unit, which the LAPD/press have labeled as 'Red-Mask', actually looks like on the streets of LA! This is a weird era, a Facebook-IQ mystique time in North America (United States).

BANK MANAGER: Business/traffic was 'customary' and each member of 'Red-Mask' got in line and to their windows in-sync!

I wonder to this day if the bearded/mustached men were somehow 'more' interesting than the masked/gear men who performed the actual bonds/cash exchange(s) at the window-stations, but I've made a comics-tale online featuring the geared/masked 'Interpol-gossip unit' titled Angeles-Dartmouth(s).

LAPD: We've monitored all the safe-box/holdings of Ms. O'Hara thoroughly to inquire of her insured-asset ties to Sierra Leone!

On that same winter-season, Los Angeles was visited by the Nigerian president who'd been promoting his work with the LA-Galaxy (club soccer visitation to Africa) ahead of the anticipated Qatar World Cup, the first-time ever a Muslim nation would host the 'iconic' international sports-event [2022]. Now, we're all wondering, "Is there some 2022 Sierra Leone blood-diamond news-story 'intrigue' surrounding global-market journalism?"

SHELBYE O'HARA: I've no 'clue' what this 'Red-Mask' intended to 'prove' on that day in Los Angeles, but my gems are hell-clean!

I've concluded, friends, that Ms. O'Hara really does have no 'idea' of what Red-Mask is or what this Interpol-inquiry in the Qatar Cup year [2022] ties into for journalism/politics. What I do know is that Shelbye O'Hara seems to darn pretty, a 'cool' LA -resident/citizen who just can't be linked to blood-diamonds, right? That's my theory (at least!).
