Spider-Man

Chapter 8

Later After That

"That's right ladies and gentlemen, the tables have finally turned, next up for our big boy Petey Parker The Big time, that's right money, women, limos, fame, this guy here is going to be the newest television sensation across the nation if there's enough money involved" Peter said to himself laughing with a big smile on his face as he does so as it seems the success he's had this week has finally gone to his head and for once he feels like things are finally going his way and soon he be one of the most successful person on the entire planet
"I'm so lucky!" Said Peter but when he got home, he noticed it was surrounded by police cars and ambulances, he ran into the house
"Stop right there, this is a crime scene" said the cop
"I live here, what's going on?" Asked Peter who then called out for his aunt but he got no answer
"Out of my way" Peter demanded as he pushed his way through the cops and into his living room where he discovered the bodies of his aunt and uncle in a puddle of their own blood
"No this can't be real, please tell me it's joke I was a joke they're not dead are they it's not real" Peter pleaded with the cops told him
"Sorry kid this is not a joke, you have to come to the station with us for questioning" the cop told Peter but Peter pushed him aside and just ran away
"Hey get back here" said the same Cop but he was told just to let him be since he'll probably need time to process what just happened.

Peter however was still in the area sitting in top of a nearby building having ran up there to get away from all that has happened holding back tears but it's very hard for him since he knows that if he was here he could have stopped this but instead he was only thinking about myself and now the only family he's ever had, the people who raised him, the closest thing he's ever had to parents are gone
"There Gone, if I was here they'd still be alive, it's my fault, it's my fault" Peter told himself and then he finally broke down and started crying.

At Osborn Manor

Harry and Norman are watching TV with the news reporting about the murder of Ben and May Parker with Norman having a intrigued look out his face Well Harry has a look of concern since he's probably thinking that his dad had something to do with this
"Such a tragedy" said Norman
"Who'd you hire?" Harry asked his dad clearly annoyed and shocked since he clearly knew that he had something to do with his
"So why now?" Asked Harry
"That doesn't matter, it's time to go to work and for you to complete your mission and bring him to me" said Norman
"Yes Sir" said Harry who then walked out of the living room with that same annoyed look on his face
"I know he had something to do with this but instead of proving it, I have to do his bidding rather than helping my best friend cope with his loss, I know my mom wouldn't have talked him out of it but it seems no one is able to convince him otherwise, this madman I share a blood relationship with" said Harry as he continued walking away not before looking at his father again but this time with a look of determination rather than concern or fear as this is his best friend, true he was originally enrolled in Midtown High to spy on him but everytime he grew to like being around him but now he had to bring him here almost like a soldier must act for the US Government
"Like the man said, time to go to work" said Harry who was clearly annoyed by this but he knows that he has no choice in the matter
"I'm Sorry about all of this Peter but this has to happen but I am not going to disobey my father this time" Harry said to himself with some remorse
