Wayne Bruzinski sat at home on a Wednesday evening listening to the police scanner. There had been a few reports of robberies happening in a park in Columbus. This was the 3rd report this week, so Wayne grabbed his keys and the duffle bag containing his suit and new smoke pellets.
He found a recipe on the internet to make some smoke pellets to aid him in vanishing when he needed to. Earlier in the week he had made a batch and had a blast practicing with them at the training camp. He used them all up so he had to make more. There were a few ingredients that he didn't have on hand so he had to improvise on the second batch. They weren't that much different so he was sure they would work.
Bruzinski pulled up to the park and proceeded to find a spot to stake out to watch for a robbery. After changing into his vinyl suit in the bushes, he stayed there for some time. About an hour later he saw a man in a black mask walking towards a couple sitting on a bench.
Wayne dashed across the dirt path and into the tree line on the other side. Step by step he made his way closer to the masked man and the couple. When he was about 20 feet away he saw the masked man pull out a gun and demand money from the couple.
"Oh shit it's on" Wayne said to himself as he dove into the path and rolled to his feet. He dove harder than he anticipated and came up with his back to the robber. "BLAM BLAM" came the report from the robber's gun. Wayne was hit in the shoulder with one shot and the other missed completely.
Purely on instinct, he grabbed for his belt pouch that contained the smoke pellets. Grabbing a handful of them, Bruzinski slammed them to the ground. A huge puff of smoke erupted from the impact point and smoke instantly enveloped him.
Wayne took a deep breath and started to run for the bushes. Acrid smoke filled his lungs and instantly swelled his eyes and throat shut. He died at the scene of asphyxiation. The smoke pellets he made contained a dangerous chemical cocktail that can kill a person with a small dose, and he'd inhaled enough to kill a rhino.
To make matters worse, the robber escaped with the couple's wallet and purse, pushing them into the smoke to disorient them while he made his escape. The woman also died at the scene and the man has suffered brain damage from lack of oxygen to the brain from the little bit of smoke he inhaled as he rushed through the cloud, stumbling on Wayne's dead body and rolling out the other side.
Police believe the case to be shut and that Wayne was the masked robber they had been looking for.
