A short comedy without ending

First, sorry for my bad english. I'll try to explain my problem.

I wrote a short comedy, but there's no ending.

The Plot: three friends (20-something), Paolo, Veronica and Franco, are watching TV. They're in the little, dirty, dusty country house of Franco. There isn't any cell phone coverage. There are two windows. Either have roll-up shutters broken. There's no way to open the windows. Suddenly, TV goes off.
And there's no home phone in Franco's little country house. And a giant wasp deny them the access of the exit door. Franco is entomophobic, so he goes crazy. Paolo and Veronica aren't entomophobic, but they're afraid of the giant wasp too. They're trapped in Franco's house. So they try to "kill" the wasp throwing their shoes to the wasp, and try to open the windows. Veronica succeeds (a miracle) to find a corner in the house with a bit of cell phone coverage. She calls the police. The policeman thinks that she is joking, so he hangs up on Veronica.
Veronica is angry, and breaks the cellphone on the floor. Franco and Paolo try to recall the police from that corner, but either fail.
Paolo tries to open the door, but he doesn't.
They fall in desperation, but Franco has got an idea. He finds in the bathroom a lighter and a spray, and wants to use them as a "flame thrower". Franco thinks that he could burn the wasp. Contemporaneously, Paolo put Veronica on a wheelchair. He wants to "throw" her through the door in order to breaking it, "creating" an exit. In fact Franco has lost the key to open the door, and he hasn't got an idea of where the key is.

And that's it. I can't go ahead. What would you - as writers and as the characters - do?
 
Your comedy story so far is a series of events that disrupt the characters. To end the story you should probably resolve the original problem -- the wasp -- in some way. But to be humorous, it should probably be an ending that resolves the problem in a way that is unexpected and, obviously, funny. I can't tell you what that is though. Good luck.
 
When they have no key to the door the Wasp gets aggressive. Attacks them. They are sure it will kill them. Right then Veronica's broken phone rings on the floor. It is the police who asks them if they are okay. They scream that they aren't. Then the phone goes dead for good. Now a fourth friend of theirs walks in through the front door. She had forgot something... and removes the item that attracted the Wasp. The problem is solved... except now they realize that they've over reacted and have no idea how to explain this to the police who will be coming a long way for nothing.
