Venom looked around the office, staring at the mess he had created. He gave a slight laugh.

"You should seriously consider about redecorating."

"Venom? Oh my god! I'm too important to die!" Jameson squealed, rolling into a far corner, away from the big monster.

"What do you want, Eddie? Where's Carnage?" Spidey snapped.

"Please. The fools don't know we're here."

"What? A solo mission? What's your angle?"

Venom laughed.

"We knew you'd come here to warn Jameson once you figured it out! Man...we hate that guy."

"I'm right here, you know!" Jameson shouted from his corner.

"So?" Venom said, walking over to him and staring him in the eye.

"I don't get it." The webspinner said.

"God. Are you that slow? Do you honestly think we'd team up with Carnage? And Electro?Wehate Carnage, and Electro's an idiot."

"Go on." Spider-Man said, actually listening.

"We teamed up with Carnage only sowe could use it to my advantage to kill him. We mean, Spidey., We an Carnage? Giveus some credit.We and you have even partnered up on a few occasions.We may hate you, butwe hate Carnage a tiny pinch more."

"I'm not following."

Venom rolled his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

"We tried to tip you off about the FF. We winked. Didn't you seeus wink?"

"I saw you wink." Spider-Man responded, arms crossed.

"Look. we can't stand working with these two idiots another second. And we know there's not much for you to trust, but trust us, okay?"

"Trust you? Even Jonah's not that stupid!"

"Hey!" Jameson shrieked.

Venom walked over to the door.They could all hear policemen coming up the stairwells.

"Webhead, we saw how serious this got when Electro almost killed you. The guy's a moron. He should've done it! Of course,we wanted to do it personally, but it just showedus how stupid he really is."

"Gee. Thanks. It's good to know the dude who wants to team up with me also wants me dead."

"'You're not miserable enough'. What a loser." Mocked Venom.

"Get to the point." Spider-Man said, losing interest.

"Okay, okay, before the cops get here. Here's the idea: We'll plan an attack on Jameson, like we planned, but you have the advantage because you'll know about it. We'll help you take them down."

"And in return?" Spider-Man asked, aware there was no way Venom would do this just to earn his good-deed badge.

"We want immunity for being in this stupid group. It was a big mistake. We want to be left alone. Got it? Left alone until I do something else. Something else illegal." Venom said.

"Okay...I..."

"DoWe have your word?"

"Yeah, you do." Spider-Man nodded.

"Spider-Man's word is worth less than Doctor Doom's!" Jameson grunted. Spider-Man zipped his mouth shut with a wad of webbing.

"You have my word." Spider-Man repeated.

"Good. Now, the cops are just waiting to come in, so We're gonna jet!" He walked over to the hole he had made in the wall. "And, J.J., consider 'Extreme Make Over: Office Edition'.We bet Ty and his gang would do this place wonders. Maybe even get rid of the cigar smoke in the air, and the annoying publisher.

Even though Jonah's mouth was sealed shut, he was still ranting on and on about nothing anyone could understand.
