Bank robbers, but has Vanessa escaped?

“Well, go find her!” one of the masked men shouted. This was the first utterance Cora heard upon striding into the bank. Though she had to duck to fit through the door the building was rather large for a bank branch and had at least two stories. The criminal that had been instructed to search the building left, but as she stepped forward all attention in the room fell upon her.

All of the day’s customers, security guards and staff were gathered on the ground in front of the counters. Seven criminals wielding rifles of some kind stared at the large woman but wasted no time in training their weapons upon her. She hadn’t actually tested if she was somehow more durable and it occurred to her this might hurt. Worse, she couldn’t see Vanessa in the crowd. She assumed when the apparent ringleader said ‘her’ that he was referring to Vanessa.

“Oh, hey, who ordered the candy?” a criminal called out. A fit of chuckles broke out among the would-be thieves.
