Female walking out: "See ya Ben have a nice weekend."

Panel C: *The building is dark, every 5 lights are on, giving off sort of horror movie feel,as a very close up shot of the man’s finger pressing the call button on the elevator.*

PANEL D: *The elevator is shown open as 3 men are seen as the women who said bye is laying on the elevator floor dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

Another man is a white average built man also wearing all black he is leaning on the back of the elevator his arms crossed he has a smart alack smile holding a well designed knife. The last man would be wearing an all black trench coat his face would have a long scar going across it the man would look as though he was in his mid fifties he would be standing in the middle of the elevator.

Panel E*A bird’s eye view of the 3 men as 1 of them is reaching inside the safe, the dead body is lying in a puddle of his own blood, as the smart Aleck man puts his gun away.
(In case not clear on setting they ‘re in a laboratory there are test tubes on tables, computers blinking, and beeping, and tools, and equipment everywhere)
Smart Aleck guy: "Man I like doing that."
PAGE 3
Panel A: *The man with the scar is holding a box with a test tube , and a syringe in it inside the test tube is what seems like hundreds of very VERY small silver ants. –Close up on the test tube, and syringe–

Man with scar <Off panel>: "You talk too much."
{SFX: Click Clack}(sound of him cocking gun back}
Panel B: *A multi image blur (Like the drawing style used to draw the movements of characters with super speed.) of the smart alack guy beating the living shit out of the old scarred man forcing him to his knees and to drop the box.*
{SFX- whatever sound effects the artists thinks is best for the ass kicking}
Smart alack man: "How are you even still being hired you’re like 50 something..?
Scarred Man: "You don’t even know what your’re stealing…"
Panel C: *The smart alack man snaps the scarred man’s neck*
{SFX- CRACK, SNAP]
Smart Alack guy: And I don’t care….
Panel D: *The smart alack guy would look up to see 2 cops holding regular 9mm pistols one of the cops is a average sized white male, and the other is a heavyset white male with no facial hair, the smart alack guy would be grinning as if something was funny*
Average sized cop: FREEZE!
Smart Alack guy: "Now I’m really not a good listener so…"
Panel E: *The heavyset cop would be shaking in his boots as he looks over at the dead bodies by the safe* <small top corner panel showing dead bodies>
Smart Alack
Hmmm, kinda dark. I don’t like seeing innocent bystanders gunned down. Maybe don’t overdo the body count? Let the woman leave in one elevator as the villains arrive in the other? It’s hard to get attached to characters when all that’s going to happen is that they die.
I think the nanites would spark my interest. I’d be curious as to whether a super-hero or super-villain would be created from them or if they were just something to be fought over.
So, I’d probably read more but if people kept dropping dead left and right, I’d quit reading. But that’s just me.
Hope that helped!
