Tamara Dawson couldn't believe what she had done. Even as she drove away from the bank, she couldn't believe what she had done. It wasn't until she returned home and removed her mask that the reality had set. The bank she left: she had just robbed it.

Tamara's motive for her robbery was waiting in the house for her: a woman named Layla Victorino. She still remembers when Layla appeared at her door, covered in bruises; she had been abused by her husband--who was the president of the bank Tamara had just robbed.

"I'm back, Layla!" Tamara shouted, but when Layla appeared, Tamara was suddenly surprised by what she saw...or rather, what she didn't see.

"Where are your bruises?"

"It's amazing," Layla said with a smirk. "A good shower works wonders with bruises, especially fake ones." Tamara didn't have time to process Layla's statement; she was suddenly shot and killed from behind. As Tamara lay dying, she saw another woman armed with a gun, looking down on her.

"I want to thank you," the evil Layla commented, "and my lover, Sheila, wants to thank you as well. We wouldn't have that cheap bastard's money if it wasn't for your help."
