Once upon a time,
Two snakes called Long Long and Short Short, a male and a female, worth 37,000 £. These two snakes have diamonds set in their fangs. They haven't particular gift, power or magic spell, but their fangs are... Wonderful !
Obviously, nobody can let these two snakes in their cage. Anybody can, but nobody did this, because this would be flight. But, two men don't care of that.
These two men, called James, an ex-prisonner, and John, an hypnotist - these names are a lie for the sake of anonymity and likelihood. James and John have an affair, and they want to steal Long Long and Short Short to have plenty of money and to go on China. They think that if they sold the two snakes, they can go anywhere, especially in China, where nobody know them and where there is plenty of people. In China, they'll want to be bed warmer...
Why bed warmer ? Because this work is so sweet ! Do nothing, just stay in bed at night time and, maybe, together ? Work in hotel, the better place for two men on run and in love.
And finally, in an hotel, they can post what they want, nobody can find them ! It's a Machiavellian plan, isn't it ?
I think so...
