The March sun beamed down on the California strip mall. In front of its bank sat an economy sedan, its engine idling. Sitting in the driver's seat was a skinny, pasty man nervously pouring a green liquid into a cup, carefully eyeing out half a pint.

He glanced into the rearview mirror, focused on the car's blue-tinted exhaust smoke, then went back to his work. As he poured another half pint into another cup, he overheard a faint commotion occurring within the bank.

A loud bang sounded from within. The man finished pouring the last serving and began to wait tensely. He checked his car's gauge cluster for any flashing lights, then revved the engine. As he did, the exhaust pipe spewed out thicker clouds of blue smoke.

He heard an alarm go off from within the bank, and observed three figures wearing balaclavas swiftly exiting the building. Two members held rifles, the third was carrying a large duffel bag. The man watched haplessly as the masked men approached his vehicle, which lacked a central door-locking mechanism.

The lead member, a large muscular man, opened the front passenger door and climbed in, setting his rifle on the floormat. The second gunman, tall and dark-skinned, seated himself in the back left. The lone duffel-carrier sat directly behind the driver, who began to shift the car into gear.

Tires squealed as the cheap Korean sedan propelled itself towards the parking lot's exit, spewing blue smoke into the faces of any witnesses. It zoomed down the busy boulevard, cutting off as many motorists as possible, making a beeline for the freeway entrance a half-mile away.

Police car after police car sped by in the opposite direction as the getaway car entered the interstate system at breakneck pace. Its occupants sat in tense silence as the driver navigated the midday traffic with some difficulty. They winced as the right-side door mirror scraped against a fellow commuter's vehicle.
