As the big guy goes for the balloon man, Sam pulls his handgun out of its holster on his chest, then pulls out the backup pistol from the holster on his ankle, keeping both guns beneath his coat. The wounded guard looks over at his handgun in the corner of the room. The other guard watches Miss Doomsday’s Tommy Gun hovering above him.
When the security officer with the yellow hat nods at him, Sam places his backup pistol slowly on the ground. With his left hand shielded from the robbers’ view, Yellow Hat’s fingers signal a count down to his fellow guards.
3…2…
“He gets what is owed to him and that’s final,” says the Jack of Spades. “Now let’s go.”
1…
Sam slides the pistol across the floor to Yellow Hat and stands up. Johnny Balloon sees the guard aiming his gun at Jack. He raises his revolver, points it at him, but Sailboat gets in his line of fire.
Sam shoots a round, hitting Jack in the center of his chest. The other robbers freeze up. They watch as their leader falls to the ground.
A guard grabs Miss Doomsday’s Tommy Gun and it fires wildly across the floor. The hostages scream and crawl for cover. When Sailboat jumps to the ground, dodging bullets coming at him from Yellow Hat’s pistol, Johnny finally has a shot at Sam.
Johnny fires. The balloon man obviously has never fired a gun since his transformation, because he’s not prepared for the kickback. The blast sends his balloon body flying into the air, spinning up toward the ceiling. The bullet misses the guard by seven feet.
Nine doesn’t react or move from her position by the exit. She just stares at Jack’s lifeless body. She can’t believe her leader, her lover, is actually dead. She didn’t even know it was possible for a man like that to die.
When she snaps out of it, she lowers the barrel of her shotgun to the guard grabbing Doomsday’s Tommy Gun and blows his skull into a spaghetti-like mess.
Covered in gore, Miss Doomsday kicks the officer’s corpse to the ground and fires her machine gun at the guards. She cuts down the other uniformed guard, splitting him in half at the waist, and the bullet-shower forces Sam Smith to leap over the bank counter to get cover.
A bullet grazes Sailboat’s shoulder and he drops his shotgun.
“Mother fucker!” Sailboat says, clutching at his arm.
As Yellow Hat aims for the big guy’s head, he doesn’t see the Nine of Hearts coming up behind him. Nine pumps her shotgun and blows Yellow Hat’s left leg in half at the kneecap. The security officer doesn’t realize what’s happened until he hits the ground and sees his shredded leg sliding across the tile floor. He’s in so much shock he hardly feels a thing.
As Nine pumps again and aims for his head, Yellow Hat rolls over and fires two slugs into her belly. She squeezes the trigger as she falls. The guard’s brain looks like scrambled eggs in red snot as they explode out the top of his hat.
