Chapter 73: NEWS AND INTERROGATION
Later that evening...
While munching on some snacks, I was flipping through the channels, and then there it was the big headline of today...
'Fall of OsCorp'
And in the latest news, the police have sealed off all of OsCorp's assets and properties. Norman Osborn has been arrested for illegal human experimentation. The missing people I saved, all testified against OsCorp for locking them up and experimenting on them. Among the victims were some of the former employees of OsCorp, whom Norman experimented with unstable Super Soldier Serum. But what surprised everyone was the list of scientists who had contributed to this project. There were some big names among them.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Gwen exclaimed in shock, "I can't believe it. Human experimentation? And this many people, too! Oh, God!"
"Peter, you should call Harry," May suggested.
"Yeah, I should. Wait a minute," I took my phone and called Harry. But he didn't answer the phone. I then called MJ. She picked up the phone.
"Hey, Peter, I was about to call you. It's about OsCorp, isn't it?" MJ asked.
"Yeah," I answered.
"You tried calling Harry? He isn't answering my calls," MJ told me.
"No, he's not picking up my calls either."
"I guess the cops are interrogating them after cutting off all outside contacts. This mess... Dang! I'm so sorry for Harry," MJ explained the situation.
"I guess so," I pretended to sound surprised, but on the inside, I was thinking 'They got Norman. Finally! Fucking scumbag.' "Hey, let me know if he calls back or something. And where are you? It's chaos out there."
"I'm on my way back... I'll see you in a bit," MJ said.
"Alright, be safe out there... Bye," I hung up the phone and sighed. Well, Harry's life must be ruined right about now. Too bad, I can't console him. Not yet, anyway... It's not his fault but his father's fault alone for bringing this upon himself.
"Harry must be devastated," May sighed.
"Yeah, he must be..." I nodded my head.
Gwen sat there silently with a blank expression. The happy day just turned sour real quick.
As the news continued, Kingpin's name appeared again. Seems like the police found some connections between Kingpin and OsCorp. They suspect Norman's involvement with Kingpin in drug, human, and other illegal trafficking. Then Sable's name came up.
Gwen jumped up from the couch when she heard Sable's name, "Sable International?! They were working with OsCorps?"
"Looks like it. They must have hired Sable to keep things in check, but failed miserably," I added.
"Right!" Gwen agreed and nodded.
As the evening progressed, more and more details started to surface. There were some talks about how Spiderman in a black suit single-handedly defeated the guards and saved the victims. Then, the names of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and someone else came up as the victims said how those three helped Spiderman save them from OsCorps's grasp.
Someone else. Hahaha! Frank just got some credits for the first time. Guess I'll treat him later with a fresh batch of the bullet.
Finally, some limelight on me. After that fucking Chameleon's bank robbery, my good image slowly started to turn sour because of the public's growing suspicion about me. Hopefully, these new updates will put an end to their doubt regarding my image as a friendly neighborhood Spiderman.
"Spiderman is a menace!" Jonah's annoying voice boomed through the speakers as I turned to Daily Bugle to listen to more about me, with a tiny bit of hope that he would stop for a day at least. He continued, "He massacred those innocent guards in the basement in the guise of saving the people. What did they do wrong? Forced by OsCorp, they didn't have a choice. That bloodthirsty beast killed them ruthlessly, without caring about the consequences. What was he thinking while taking their lives? Beheading them like a butcher. Does anyone remember the Sewer Monsters fiasco? Those monsters weren't human, yet, he showed them no mercy."
That bastard! Once a bastard always a fucking bastard. It was fun at first, but he's always after my ass no matter what.
"...But Spiderman? He killed them all. We might have learned new information had he not killed them so ruthlessly. All our expectations from him were met with disappointment. Another villain added to the pile of people he massacred. I request NYPD to use this chance and take down Spiderman once and for all or how else we good tax-paying citizens can sleep soundly? That bug must be stopped at any cost..."
I closed the TV. I think I should pay this bastard a nice little visit at night.
"Ah, he's at it again," Gwen facepalmed and let out a deep sigh.
"Without Spiderman, all those people would have been suffering a fate worse than death. Why can't he understand?" May commented in frustration, "My God, he is incorrigible."
"Yup." Gwen looked at me as she stood up, "I guess, I should go now. It's getting late. I don't want Dad to worry about me."
"I'll give you a lift," I stood up too.
"You two be careful out there," May advised.

[3rd person POV]
[Next day]
[Location: Interrogation room]
Yuri Watanabe was interrogating a man with a series of questions, "Let's talk again, shall we, Mr. David Steckler?"
"I've already told you everything," The man in the white suit nervously replied.
"I don't believe you," Yuri leaned back in her chair and looked at the man closely, "Tell me, what is Sable Industries really trying to do?"
"I swear, Captain, I don't have the faintest idea!" He stuttered in his speech.
Yuri tapped the folder, containing a lot of evidence that Spiderman left at NYPD last night. She stared intently at him, "Mr. Steckler, Sable has a few billion dollars at their disposal, a few thousand SABs (Smart Assault Bots) at command. Now, with OsCorp and Sable agents working together, uumm... Let's say, your boss declares the agents as rogues who stole techs and money and discards them, but... The big but..." She opened a file and turned it toward him.
Steckler looked at a list of 150 individuals. He flipped over page after page, reading the contracts that Sable signed with OsCorp two years before this fiasco, "These contracts aren't real! They can easily be faked." He denied the accusation.
Yuri closed the file, "I think you are going to need a good lawyer. Because..." She nodded at her assistant.
The burly guy placed the laptop he was carrying on the table. Yuri opened the latest statement issued by Sable and turned it toward Steckler. They discarded the agents and called them rogue and former agents and they have got nothing to do with them. They are even fully cooperating with the cops to catch them.
"So, how about we begin from the start?" Yuri closed the laptop. "Confess and we will make sure you get to serve the minimum of the sentence."
David Steckler remained silent.
"Well, as you know, life in prison among all those criminals... Say, Bret..." She casually turned toward the burly man, "What are the rates of prison rapes nowadays?"
"Not great." Bret grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, "What they won't do for just a piece of fresh flesh."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Mr. Steckler, no matter how strong you feel now, once you step foot inside that hellhole, you'll be asking the guard if your friend could also help. And the guards, well... Mr. Bret is one of them. So," Yuri stood up and took the file from the table, "Bret, I'm going to switch off the camera for... Mumm, let's say ten minutes, yeah?"
"Yeah, should be enough," Bret smiled with his yellow teeth while looking at David's face.
"Wait! What ten minutes? Hey!" Steckler panicked as Yuri prepared to leave the room. "Hey, don't... What ten minutes?"
Yuri didn't reply as she turned toward the door and Bret opened his jacket while licking his lips and walking toward David. David started hyperventilating.
"Noo-no-no wait, you can't! Please! Please don't! Okay, wait, wait!... Just wait, okay, okay, okay..." Steckler cried out, his voice cracking, and sweating profusely. He continued, "Okay, I'll tell you anything... Anything! Wait! Okay... I'll tell you whatever you want."
Yuri returned to her chair and dropped a small recorder on the table, "From the beginning. Don't you dare try to lie," her stern voice echoed as she began to record the statement.
