Peter Parker, as Spider-Man, clung to the roof of the house of Mac Gargan. He had done his research on this man on the internet, which he accessed from the computer at the house he purchased a couple months prior. According to a few sources, Mac Gargan was a private investigator, meaning that he normally did not ask questions about the investigations that his employers want him to conduct. He had followed a few people to monitor their activities. He had also solved a few missing person cases.
Peter believed that it was the latter that Gargan was working on currently. After all, J. Jonah Jameson had what appeared to be a lengthy discussion with Gargan. It would make sense for Jameson to hire someone like this to search for his missing son, no questions asked. Peter wondered how Gargan would know where to find him. Whatever his method, Peter believed that he could potentially locate John Jameson, making Peter's job just a little easier. He would have to make sure that John would not harm Gargan.
In the middle of the night, Mac Gargan exited his home. He looked around to see if anyone was watching him. Spider-Man hid behind the chimney. Once he was certain that he was alone, Gargan got into his car and drove off. Spider-Man followed. He passed through backyards and clung to the sides of buildings. He stayed wherever he could find a shadowy place to conceal his presence. He swung above Gargan's car during the drive. When it was over, Gargan arrived at the gate of a mansion.
"What the heck is this scary-looking place?" Spider-Man said to himself, quietly so that Gargan could not hear him behind the car.
Gargan walked up to the gate doors and examined them.
"I see that he hasn't done much decorating," Gargan said to himself.
Who? Spider-Man wondered.
Before Gargan could knock on the gate doors, they opened for him.
"From this, I can deduce that I am being watched," Gargan said to himself.
At least he doesn't know that I am also watching him.
Spider-Man looked at the mansion and spotted a few cameras. He watched Gargan go through the gate. He walked towards the door of the mansion. He knocked on it. It opened, revealing a cloaked figure.
This is my chance, Spider-Man thought. Whoever that is is not monitoring the camera footage.
Gargan entered, and the door closed. Spider-Man climbed over the gate and ran to the side of the mansion. He checked the windows. They were all locked. He did not want to break any windows. That would draw attention to himself. He climbed to the roof of the mansion and spotted a chimney. He looked inside. There was no fire.
"Seems safe enough," he said to himself.
Spider-Man went inside and clung to the walls on the inside of the chimney. He could hear voices.
"It has been years since I've seen you, Mr. Gargan," the owner of the mansion said. "What are you here for?"
"I am here to ask you if you know anything about Man-Wolf," Gargan said.
"Man-Wolf? You must be reading works of fiction."
"Don't play dumb, Morbius. I know how smart you are. I know that you watch the news to see what's going on in the outside world. There is no way that you would be completely unaware of Man-Wolf."
"Perhaps I am unaware, or perhaps not. In either case, what interests you about it?"
"I was hired to find the astronaut John Jameson, and I suspect that he may have turned into that thing."
"So you have come to me?"
"Yes. I know that you do a lot of research. Something like this wolf creature from space would have some scientific explanation. You have to know something about it."
"Maybe I do... Why don't we move this discussion to my laboratory?"
Spider-Man heard them walk through a door. Morbius locked it. Spider-Man came out of the fireplace and brushed himself off. He shot webs at the cameras that were inside of the mansion. He walked over to the door to the laboratory and tried listening.
