[Y/N and Peter land at the scene of the crime. A firefighter then says]

Firefighter #1: Looks like another car bomb. Which family set it up this time-- Hammerhead again?

Firefighter #2: Probably. Might be more nearby. Better call in the bomb squad.

[It then pans back to the two Spider-Men]

Scarlet Spider: Car bombs? Pete, you handle this. I'll go see about Felica.

[Y/N takes off before Peter can respond. Which leaves Peter confused]

Spider-Man: Oh, um... okay.

[While swinging, Y/N gets a call from a Detective Mackey]

Scarlet Spider: Yes? Who is this?

Det. Mackey: Scarlet Spider? This is Detective Mackey, I got your number from a friend on the force.

Scarlet Spider: [sighs] So Yuri just gives out my number to anyone. What can I do for you, Detective?

Det. Mackey: Probably better if we spoke in person. Can you stop by the Greenwich precinct when you get a chance? I hear you and the other guy like to meet on rooftops...

Scarlet Spider: Sure. I'll be there in a minute.

[Detective Mackey hangs up as Y/N says to himself]

Scarlet Spider: I guess this could keep my mind off the whole Felica thing for a while. I still can't get over that -- Felica's not one to work with Hammerhead. Hell, she said it herself.

[Y/N then arrives at precinct. He lands infront of the Detective Mackey. He then says]

Scarlet Spider: Is your name Detective Mackey?

[He then stops leaning on the guardrail and says]

Scarlet Spider: Thanks for coming. I wanna talk to you about the Black Cat.

[Y/N looks up at the sky and sighs]

Scarlet Spider: Of course you do...

Det. Mackey: Not the "new" cat-- the old one. 20 years ago. I worked the case.

[Y/N then just looks confused]

Scarlet Spider: "Old" cat?  Black Cat copied her gig off another thief? What happened to the original?

Det. Mackey: He died in prison.

[Mackey says quickly, almost trying to dismiss this]

Det. Mackey: But we never found all the paintings he stole. I've got a new lead, but the Department doesn't want to waste resources on an old case.

Scarlet Spider: Well, that's police system nowadays. Um... no offense.

Det. Mackey: None taken. Head to this location. I'll fill you in on the way.

[Y/N then takes off swinging. He then gets another call from Detective Mackey]

Det. Mackey: I appreciate your help. I'm retiring soon, and this case is my biggest loose end.

Scarlet Spider: Well, we got that in common.

Det. Mackey: Oh, yes, I remember reading in some files on the new cat that she had turned over a new leave a while back. Was that you?

Scarlet Spider: Yeah, at least I thought I did. But enough about me, what's on this old cat anyway?

Det. Mackey: Well, he preferred to steal old art, but right before he got busted, he hit a smoke detector factory.
