Noirvember - Fire in the Taco Bell

1 - Interior of a warehouse. It's mostly empty. Maybe a board with plans and photos and other varia related to planning a bank heist to one side. The focus is a group of robbers sitting on folding chairs drinking and celebrating said bank heist. The duffle bags of money could be on the ground at their feet. Maybe some of them still have the masks they were wearing on their heads (raised like hats). They are all in a very good mood. To the ride side of the panel, an additional robber walks in, Helena. She's clearly coming in late and wears a stunned expression, her clothing and face somewhat singed. Her colleagues raise their drinks in welcome.

ROBBER 1: Helena!

There was no one around. Your distraction must have been perfect!

2 - The robber is up and approaching Helena to offer her a drink. He is not picking up on how shaken she is.

ROBBER 1: We were starting to worry!

3 - Back at the group, Helena stands instead of taking the open chair.

ROBBER 2: Considering how easy our job was, your distraction must have been perfect!

HELENA: Yeah...

4 - Cut to a city block that is currently on fire. The blaze is enormous and has spread to the vast majority of buildings. Firefighters and other first responders are everywhere, doing their best to douse the flames, but they aren't making much progress.

CAPTION (HELENA): ...That's one way to put it.
