Kidnapping the Taxman 5

      Chapter One. Two under cover intelligence officers from the UK inland revenue in a cafe along the quayside in Monaco

    'Are we here for the day just to check out these guys to see if they're up to something, Gary?'

'We're to report back, Glen, initially yes as staying here is pricey, flights aren't, could be a commuting detail if required, there's an array of characters to connect up with so whose actually doing anything deterrent to paying taxes due in the Uk or anywhere else for that matter is rather unseen.'

'So there's no current apparent avoidance happening, which has to be so for a crime to be committed and in this place the inhabitants must have some serious wacky tax advisors to have all this wealth being flaunted around to rather floating around.'

'There's a load of suits in the next door cafe who look to be straight out of the office along with those two antagonists to the UK government.'

'It's a democracy so can only be seen being into criminal ways until a crime is committed, verbal assaults and protests are allowed until fellow humans are harmed or put in danger, so this play this guy has written is very clever, its eluded any actions from the authorities and vilified with ease  the injustice of the of the UK tax regimes live on stage.'

'The content could be edited if it was in film or video.'

'Not sure, I know explicit sexual content can be.'

'Theatre censorship was abolished in 1968 in the UK so this writer is astute by staging it.'

'They endorse the freedom of speech here in France, but of course that's open to interpretation. I think this play would be really popular over here in France so could well be closed down as it could incite protests.'

'Its sold out here for the week.'

'Confirming it's popularity over here.'

'So what do we do?'

'Get some photos of these guys in suits so London can discern who they are and decide our next moves.'

'Facial recognition, if of course these persons next door are online in such a matter.'

'It's banned in the EU and I'm overhearing Italian where it is definitely prohibited.'

'Unlike the UK, but these famous Californian girls have appeared, plus there's a couple of Italian looking women and a couple of English looking dudes as well in addition to the guys who concern us now in front of this cafe where the suits are sat all in conversation.'

'Lets get some pictures of this circle of folk in the next door cafe and fly back to see if there's matches, we've return tickets?'

'We have as I was thinking this visit was going to be a lame duck but the government wants a report and pictures of course. The tickets cost nine euros and there's a bus to the airport.'   

'Keeping within budget, a few of these cocktails and we wouldn't be.'

'Is affordable for one, four pints of beer in the UK matches one of these in price, let's stroll past innocently holding our phones up taking in the panorama as we go.'

'There's a few doing that so we won't stand out'   

  Chapter Two Next morning somewhere in London, UK

      'We've analysed the video off your phones, bar the obvious, prime minister of Italy and her sister, the sister duet from California and their mentor, Charlie Rock and the two guys who commissioned this play from him supposedly plus a couple of stragglers there this mass of suits in the cafe who are all unknown.'

'Mafia?'

'Yeah, could be, well you'd think where facial recognition would be of the most use is in a country like Italy but
