I'm gonna head to the lab and look through Fergeson's stuff and see if there's anything the police might've  missed meet you back at my place Peter said to Ned

while peter  didn't wait for Ned to  respond as he left heading to the university He and Ned  worked to investigate 

Wait don't leave me here Ned said as Peter already left

Peter stared down at the ground using his other senses  to doge the incoming traffic and people heading the opposite way

He tried to make sense of everything that had happened

Peter began to blame himself for not solving it sooner and maybe Fergeson would still be alive

it was like his story is repeating itself he keeps going to this road some many times it's like every time he is around he only makes things worse

like he was given the power to do something good and all it resulted in was pain and death was his life always destined to be this way does life hate him that much

but he knew better than to blame himself for this

he just couldn't help himself as it reminded him of Mays's death all over again

he failed to save someone who he has been in his life for his whole life

it's giving him Deju Vu all over again

come on peter focus He said to himself

it began to rain again Peter put his jacket putting the hoodie  over his head

he kept on walking through the crowds of people

until he saw a couple of homeless men sitting on the sidewalk

Peter shoved his hand in his pocket and handed it to a man

he continued walking going to an alley making sure the coast is clear

so it was

until he heard a whimper and it grew louder

is anyone ok Peter said loudly

He neared a trash can and found a man holding his knees close to his chest but he wasn't homeless

The pristine shine on his shoe quality of the suit covered him

The Man was rocking back and forth his eyes wondering around maniacally

he didn't seem to notice peter

it burns the man mumbled to himself than to peter

he kept saying make it stop, please

hey you're going to be okay Peter said to the man as he put his hands showing him he wasn't a threat

how about you tell your Name Peter said to the man

the man continued his mumbling if he heard peter he didn't acknowledge it

I'm going to get you some help Peter told the man

The Man suddenly froze and then toppled over

Peter ran to shake him no response as foam came out of his mouth

Peter pulled the back sleeve of Man's jacket to check his pulse nothing

he also pressed the man's throat to check for pulse nothing

he signed and stood up

he was about to call the ambulance when something caught his eye

it was the man's hand his hand was wrapped around tightly what seemed like a sliver tube the size of his palm
