A Jealous Bite

Chapter 2

:The Accident:

I couldn't help but stare at him trying to figure out if he was or wasn't.  Miguel? Spider-Man? Haha, I thought to myself. "Are you going to just stare at me or get to filing those reports." He said not looking up from his desk. "I apologize" I quickly look away and get back to work. He seemed more snappy and tired today, constantly rubbing at his shoulder in pain.

I can't seem to shake that hunch I have. And with every passing day it seems that my curiosity kept growing. I wanted to "subtly" push him to see if he was actually Spider-Man. I sat at my desk pondering while eating my dinner, I can't just throw myself in harms way, I think to myself. Can I? A grin creeps across my face as I try to think what to do. "I have to make sure I don't cause suspicion" I whisper to myself eating my salad. The filing room had a rusty rack that would snap with the slightest amount of wrongly placed pressure.

I finished my dinner and walked over to him "Miguel? Could you help me get some files from the filing room?" I asked. "What do we need to get boss?" He asked looking up at me. "Oh I just need help holding a few things" I smile.

It was perfect timing for my scheme, it was late and almost everyone was gone. Just me and him.

~Miguel's pov

Estella had been acting strange as of lately, constantly observing me and my every move. She had been closing herself off in her office more and not speaking to me as much.

Her asking for help was so off-putting, I started to wonder what she actually needed me for as she lead me to the filing room. "What are the files that we are grabbing?" I asked "Oh yes, I'm just grabbing a file on immunotherapy. We covered it last meeting, I just haven't been able to get the file" she said, I nod remembering that meeting. I relax a bit.

"No worries, I bet I know right where it is, just let me look for it. You said it was an immunotherapy file?"

I take the lead as I walk deeper and deeper into the filing room, I continues to follow her keeping my eyes alert, but not overly so. "Oh here it it!" I here her say. I  here a snap as I turned and the boxes and rack collapsed on her.
Shit, shit, shit! I think. I panic desperately to try to get you out.

"Miguel help!" She cried out, I couldn't reveal that I was Spider-Man to her, so I did what anyone would do, I called for help.

Not long after she was transported to the hospital. Injured...

I locked up the biotech doors and drove to the hospital to see her.
