Noirvember - Safe and Sound

1 - We're inside a store, focused on the counter with the cash register. The lights in the main room are off, but some spills out from the door leading to the back. A cell phone sits on the counter, its lit screen providing some additional light in the gloom. Maybe we can see some blank keys hanging behind the counter, but this is not necessary / far from a focus (although hints towards the final panel on this page).

LIV (off-panel, from the back): Are you sure about this?

2 - Close on the cell phone screen. It's an email inbox. There's a few message subject lines visible (for spam, newsletters, deals at stores, etc), but the one that is highlighted is from "Jack" and reads "Pay late again ths week :( - sorry!"

CHRISSY: He'll never know!

3 - Liv and Chrissy, two employees of the store are in the back area arguing. Liv is uncertain and reluctant; Chrissy is frustrated and certain. The two women aren't wearing uniforms per se, but both have nondescript slacks and professional-ish tops with nametags on identifying them as employees of the store in question. two in back, safe between / behind them. A safe, the source of their argument, sits between and behind them.

CHRISSY: Once we get paid, we'll put whatever we take back.

LIV: I dunno...

4 - Worm's eye view from the the safe, looking up at the two women. Liv looks confused; Chrissy is confident and a little smug.

LIV: I mean, even if I was on board, it's not like either of us has a key.

CHRISSY: Liv.

5 - Exterior shot of the storefront. The sign reads "The Locksmithy".

KELLY (from within): Do you really think that'll be a problem?
