It's now later on in the night and the truck and area has been closed off as a crime scene as fire trucks and other police cars barricade it off. I looked down at the scene from the rooftop, noticing reporters right at the edge of the barrier as it makes the 9 o'clock news. 

Looking over at the reporters, I spotted a blonde haired woman sneaking into the scene. I shake my head with a knowing smile as I jump down from the roof. I landed on top of one of the fire trucks, waiting as she tried to sneak by.

" Excuse me Ms, are you supposed to be here?" I speak up, making Gwen jump and turn to me.

" More than you." She comments, walking off as I follow on top of the fire truck.

" After that auction house thing, the Bugle put me on the city beat. Which means I get to focus fully on real stories like this and the demons." Gwen explains as she sneaks around.

" You know the closer you get to them, the more you become a target, right?" I ask rhetorically.

" The closer I get the better chance we have to stop them." She snaps and raises her voice a little.

She then walks off out of my range, heading up to the ambulance that Mark was being put in. I watch as she converses with him before she gets into the back of the ambulance with him, making me chuckle.

She's good.

I jump off the back of the fire truck, leaping into the air as I swing from building to building. I perch myself on a roof of a building, a voicemail showing up in my feed. The numbers blocked though.

I pressed play on the voicemail, the familiar voice of none of them Felicia Hardy coming through my coms.

" Hey there Spider. Long time no see. Miss me? Come to this addres... catch me if you can." The voicemail plays.

The voicemail ends and I punch in the address to my suit. It's not far from here, a rooftop just north of here. I leap off the building, swinging towards the destination.

As I got closer, I'd come to realise that I missed her. No one in sight near the address. Just a... camera stand? I landed on the roof, heading over to the camera stand, the camera still on it. I looks down the stand, noticing a tape recorder taped to the stand with a post-it note that said 'play me'.

Black Cat's back.

I hit play on the recorder, the familiar voice coming through again.

" Hey Spider. Been thinking about you a lot lately. We were good together, weren't we? Maybe it's time to, re-ignite the flame."

Oh god. She's probably back robbing places. She used to do that when we were partners. Steal valuable things while I was dodging bullets. It took me a while to confront her about it. She sunk her claws in deep with me when we were together.

I looked through the camera lense, looking around to see what she was looking at. I spotted an open door on one of the roofs, spotting one of her cats holding it open. She packs those with range extenders then harvests nearby RFD codes. I'll have to let Yuri know to pick that up.

This doesn't make sense though. Felicia is too smart to put herself in such a risky position like this. She must be desperate. It's never good when someone's desperate. It doesn't make sense that she's doing it now. All here gear is locked up isn't it?

My doubting mind kept running a mile a minute so I just decided to call Yuri. She picked up within a few rings and I rushed to speak.

" Yuri, you still have Black Cat's gear in evidence lock-up right?" I ask her.
