Grand Opening, Grand Closing
"Good morning, this is Linda Park-West coming to you live from the opening of the new Keystone First National Bank. This bank was previously Keystone Savings and Loan, but was recently purchased and updated by its new owners, WorldCom International. According to a statement from World Com, this bank will be the first in 'a new wave of banks that come equipped to deal with the rigors of living in major cities that deal with meta-human issues." Linda says, turning slightly to welcome the bank manager, Coleman Reese.

"Mr. Reese, thank you for joining us. This is quite a turnout! Did you expect this?" Linda asks.

"Oh, we hoped for it, but it's good to see it happening and this is what want. We want people come and check us out. Keystone First National wants to be your bank for life and the first 10,000 customers will get free checking and savings accounts." Mr. Reese says.

"Maybe I need to bring my kids down here." Linda laughs.

The two talk for another minute and the current interview ends. Once her cameraman calls for a cut, Linda hands over her microphone and looks around at the crowds. She wanted a hot dog before the next segment and she thought about calling Iris and asking her to check on Jai.

Her kids were going to be adults next month and Linda smiled wistfully. Her babies were all grown-up. Where had the time gone?

Just then, she figured out what she could get them for their birthday.

"I bet they'll love this." she says, heading inside the bank.

"I'm not here for hostages. I'm here for the money." He waved the gun at a teller. "Empty the drawers into a bag. No dye packs. Just hurry up."

He turned the gun back to Linda.

"I can leave with the money and no one will catch me. That's the point."

"Oh." Linda says, looking at Zach with a trace of pity.

"You definitely aren't who I thought you were. You're new aren't you?" she asks.

"There are people in this town who will catch you and make you sorry you got out of bed with this half-baked idea. If you knew anything about Keystone City, you'd know that." she says.

"If you knew anything about me, you'd know this isn't my first rodeo."

Okay, now she was annoying. The teller needed to hurry the hell up. He didn't particularly want to hurt anyone.

"There's still time to stop this, pal. You've got, maybe, another minute or two before things get bad for you." Linda says.

She sees movement in her peripheral vision and she notices that someone is edging closer to the door behind her captor. If someone can get out of here, they can get help.

Linda takes another step forward and another.

"You don't want to do this. You can still run." she tells him, trying to keep her attention focused on him.

"Can you please just shut up? You don't know what you're talking about."

The teller filled the bag and in a blur, Zoom had grabbed it. This was all getting too messy. He had to get out of there and now.
