PANEL 1
Roberto has gone back around the corner, and leans against the building. Two CONSTRUCTION WORKERS enter from the direction of the site. They do not see Roberto.
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 1
…can still smell that burning too. Fuckin’ stinks.
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 2 …
you imagine the force it must have taken…
PANEL 2
Fantasy. Same shot and angle as PAGE 11 PANEL 2, except we have pulled back to put Roberto in the immediate foreground. Roberto, however, is just 10 years old. He faces the community center, which is in the background, completely in tact. It is a low, long building in the Mission Revival style, with many arched entries facing the street.
PANEL 3
Back to reality. Roberto is his adult age again. More Workers pass by Roberto, carrying coffee or thermoses. Roberto has shut his eyes. CONSTRUCTION WORKER 5 notices Roberto.
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 3
That’s exactly what it took! They hit the gas main and POW!
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 4
The whole thing when up like 4th of July!
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 5
Million to one shot, too. They – hold on –
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 5 (CONT’D)
Hey! Kid!
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 5 (CONT’D)
You need something?
PANEL 4
All the Workers turn to Roberto.
CONSTRUCTION WORKER 1
You one of the day workers?
