At the end of the street seeing ahead a black car. The same from the alley way. Running inside seeing 3 men standing next to Max's mother holding a gun with Kevin nowhere in sight. The men different men , not from the alley way not possible they were eaten.
"Mom where is Kevin?"
"He's in his room I told him not to leave."
"Okay all of you let her go what do you guys want?"
"We want the bug kid, give us the bug. Now"
One man steps up with a big container on its side opened like a big bottle, the bottle on a stool with wheels. Like a little containment device.
"The bug, why do you need him?"
"Enough games!"
The man pushes Max's mother on the ground. Max angry almost charges at the man transforming until a sonic screech hurts his ears. The red and black goo flashing from his skin. On his knees Max in pain shaking sees a man with a phone in his hand.
"We know about the noise weakness in these bugs, oh yes you have him on you how great."
Max trembling until he watches as the goo turns into a ball shooting out landing into the containment seal, the little machine closing locking Carnage into the machine. Like a giant slug Carnage not being able to form his face, the men sliding the cart away out the door. Max on the ground trembling, feeling weaker than ever. Staggering to stand up. He hears steps and sees Kevin run toward the man and try to punch him, the man smacking him on the ground. Max running tackling him knocking his phone out his hand, the man elbowing him on the back shoving him back then punching him in the face. Max staggering up steps forward only to get tased landing on the ground shaking. A shout heard from outside, "we got the bug let's go!"
The man smiles dropping the gun and getting outside driving away.
Max sticking his hand out trying to reach for Carnage who is far out of sight. Starting to feel better Max sits up looking at Kevin.
"Are you alright Kevin?"
"Yeah I'm fine Max are you?" Max smiles wiping a big of blood from Kevin's lip.
"Mom are you okay?"
"Yes Max, can you explain to me what happened?"
Max stands helping them up closing the door. "I met a friend and they came to take him away for some reason I don't know. Apparently he was of great value to them even though he didn't want to go with them I thought I could stay with him. But I guess at one point I would say good bye but not in that way."

An hour has passed since Carnage and Max split.
"Who are those guys?" Max says to himself expecting a response but no nothing.
Walking to his room he stares at the window staring at his hands. The memory of swinging around, the strength, someone to talk to even if they were an alien.
"I have to get him back but how? I don't know where they are."
Disappointed sad of how he could've lost his brother or mother today he manages to fall asleep, still thinking about what is Carnage going through as he sleeps, wondering if he misses him just as much as Max misses Carnage.
Light piercing Max's eyes, looking at his phone , 9:23am. Walking downstairs glass and stuff still in the ground.
"Kevin where's mom?"
"She went to a store to see if she can buy stuff for the house. Max who was your friend?"
"He was an alien Kevin no lie. But now he's gone. I'm surprised your not shaking from last night."
"I'm braver than you think, you were friends with an alien that's cool Max. But why not find him again."
"Cuz I don't know where he could be."
"Max is this your phone."
Kevin hands him a phone from the ground, Max remembering the phone he smacked out of the guys hand. Max thinks to himself. "Kevin if I can get into this phone I might be able to find something out on where he could be, I could find my friend."

The two are in Max's room on his computer connecting the phone searching for files and things on gallery. The guy took a picture of him with another one of those containment things but with a silver goo inside not Carnage.
"That must be the other guy." Max says to himself Kevin just watching. Max search the phone on find my iPhone in contacts. Work friends listed. A location pops up. A ware house  east of the school. Far on foot but not far on bike.
"Kevin I'm going to get my friend back you stay here and wait for mom to get back. I'll leave a note, Max quickly grabbing his jacket, with a pen writing sticking it on the door of his mothers room.
"I wanna come to Max. I wanna help find your friend."
"Kevin this is dangerous."
"If this is dangerous then you shouldn't go alone."
"Fine but you do everything I say alright."
The two run outside to the garage grabbing their bikes beginning to ride all the way to the school.
Passing the school passing a lot of buildings until they reach the edge of the city, the docks. 3 warehouses connected as one making it one big warehouse. Crawling through the gate the two run into the side of the building looking inside seeing people. Entering through a door. People walking around with guns and carrying boxes. Like a big fish market but no fish in sight. One man in a lab coat walking to middle of the room stepping inside a little almost photo booth going down turning out to be an elevator. Running holding hands the two manage to catch a ride entering into an empty elevator. The ride is short taking them to the only floor below. Walking around the hallways hiding behind big boxes looking around for a sign of Carnage. Then seeing a little closer labeled janitors closet.
"Kevin do me a favor but I can go far without looking out for both of us. Stay in here and lock the door until I come back for you. I'll give you the code which is my name okay."
"You promise you'll come back ?"
"Yes Kevin I won't ever leave you. Stay in there lock the door and be quiet okay." They hug and Kevin enters the room while Max runs looking around the big hallways trying to find the friend they took from him.
