Chapter 25. Contacting Jessica
----
Nolan stood across the street, watching Jessica stagger toward her dingy little detective agency.
He needed to find the right moment to approach her. Grabbing her outright wasn't an option.
He wasn't even sure he could beat her in a fight right now. Sitting inside a coffee shop across the street, Nolan watched her office door, thinking it over. Then he got up and started walking toward it.
It hit him she's a detective. Why not just hire her? That would be the cleanest way to make contact.
He had just crossed the street when Jessica stepped out, locking the door behind her. Looked like she'd just woken up and was already calling it a day.
Seriously? Was business that good?
Nolan quickened his pace. Just as he was about to call out to her—
A massive explosion lit up the sky in the distance.
"Hahahahaha! Come on, Spider-boy! You'll never catch me!"
The skies echoed with manic laughter as a figure zipped through the air on a glider cackling like a goblin.
