There was that old Public Safety thing on TV a long time ago: “If you really care about someone, belt them.”
Obviously, Lana doesn’t really care for her much or she would’ve belted Elena herself. Let’s face it, Lana’s belted (with her fists) a lot of people during the course of all these books, men AND women…
The last agent they recruited….ended up selling shoes with management potential……
Maybe Elena should consider a different line of work, too!
This would make a really good public service announcement for seatbelts
I’m surprised no one’s called me about licensing it yet!

Yes, Lana usually solves problems by belting people! Of course, Elena may yet get belted.
I’m willing to give it time…After all, they just met & it’s takes time for Lana to get to know & care enough to belt someone.
Safety first!
(Even for gun toting top heavy assassins)
But to be fair, Lana DID warn her.
It’s true!
Yeah, Elana definitely qualifies as “top heavy.” It only took a little inertia to turn her heels-over-head, as evidenced in the last panel.

A high center of gravity can be a spy’s biggest danger!
The car! Watch the car you damned ruffians!
Some people have no appreciation for the classics!
Elena: #$%^$%^&^%!!
So, Lana, babes, how many times have you pulled this particular stunt? Agency on a recruiting drive, or what?
She did warn her about the seat belt!
Dat smirk.
