"Don't shoot, don't…don't shoot, guys." Spider-Man said calmly.

"Yeah…what he said…" Venom nodded.

The Vault guys groaned. "Spider-Man…you're telling me you're friends with this guy?"

With his hands up and feeling totally stupid, he nodded.

"Venom's working with me to catch Carnage. He helped with the capture of Electro. It's true!"

"Which was a disaster." The guard said.

Venom, starting to feel nervous, jumped out of the window. The guns started firing. Spider-Man used his spider sense to leap out of the way of one, but then ducked in mid air to avoid another. He shot weblines in a zillion directions to clog the gun barrels.

The guards were dumb-struck. Stunned. They had thought Spider-Man was an okay guy, but to help Venom?

Once he landed, one guard informed him, "Spider-Man. You are under arrest for suspicious activity involving the wanted criminal known as Venom. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will…"

"Are you crazy? Can you even arrest for that?" Spider-Man said, cutting the guy off.

" I SAID You have the right to remain silent. That means shut the hell up!" He snapped.

"We're not like a regular police force, Spider-Man. We can arrest any super-perosn for any reason that we seem appropriate. We need to bring you in for questioning."

"What, should I tell my family at home that I was take to a secret prison for superpowered people?"

Just then, feeling nervous and extremely scared, Spider-Man started to dive out the window like Venom had. But in doing so he was momentarily helpless in midair, as he diving out the window. And the guns took full advantage of it.

As Spider-Man shot a webline to break his fall, he felt a hard, sharp pain through his shoulder. He let go of the web and somersaulted in the air, his arms and legs just flopping around, and landed with a hard smash! onto a low rooftop.

Oh my god…Spider-Man thought, desperately grabbing his shoulder and trying to stop the bleeding. I've…I've been shot! I've been shot in the shoulder! Oh my god…

It was almost unreal…like he was in a bad dream. He was shot…actually shot. He couldn't believe it! He was never shot before! He was…he never thought…

I think I'm gonna puke...everything's spinning...so dizzy...so...pain...pain...help...God, help...

He heard people screaming, and it came clear it were those assholes from The Vault.What, did they have the perimeter surrounded? They were coming up the stairs...

They didn't give him any warning. No chance to surrender or come out with his hands up, they just started shooting. Spider-Man ran, grabbing his bleeding shoulder, and leaped off the rooftop. He was in so much pain he couldn't see clearly, couldn't think straight. All he knew was that he had to move, run, get away...

...Get Away...
