*Chelsea, back at her job, is told that there have been some anomalies reported by the auditors - money is missing from the Henderson portfolio.

Later, Lola and Chelsea are waiting for the bus when a car drives too close to their stop, almost crashing into it The driver is gravely injured, and Lola tries to help him. A van suddenly drives out, and a man with a ski mask and gun comes out and grabs Lola by her hair, pulling her away from the injured man. He then shoots the injured man twice.

Lola begins bargaining, saying they won’t go to the police if he lets them go. He then lines them up against pylon, and orders them to turn around. Lola says that he’s not the kind of person to shoot two women in the back, to which he internally agrees.

He tells her that she’ll drive, and Chelsea will sit in the back, to which Lola says she can’t drive.
