There is a skylight on the roof of the warehouse. You enter the building through it and drop down. It is pretty dark, and the interior is run down.
You: I feel like I'm in a horror movie...
You jog to the front doors which Officer Davis is on the other side of.
You: You there, Alvin? I'm doing my best to refrain from knock-knock jokes.
Officer Davis speaks from the other side.
Officer Davis: Appreciated. You see a junction box powering the door?
You look around, and see the electrical mechanism powering it.
You: Yeah, got it.
Officer Davis: If we can overload it, that should force the door open.
You: I have just the tool for the job.
You toggle your electric webs and shoot the junction box. It sparks, and the metal doors open. Officer Davis walks through.
Officer Davis: Gadget man, huh? You remind me of my son. Started taking apart the TV when he was five. Now he's unlocking his friends' phones.
You: He sounds like a really smart kid. Maybe he can teach me a few things.
Alvin chuckles.
Officer Davis: I think you've met him before. I don't know if you remember, but you saved him a few years ago on Christmas. He barely told me a few months ago.
You do remember. The kid you saved from being run over by a truck. The kid you helped pay for his mother's gift.
You: AJ? He's your son?
Officer Davis: Alvin Morales. We call him AJ, though, despite him having his mother's last name. It's a tradition.
You: How is he?
Officer Davis: He's in his last year of middle school. Smartest kid in his class.
You: He's one of a kind.
Officer Davis nods and puts a hand on your shoulder. It's his gesture of thanks for saving his son years ago, and you take it. It is then time to continue the search.

Upon investigating the Fisk shipment crates in the warehouse, you found a mechanism that opens a trapdoor. Officer Davis calls you over to help him lift the door.
Officer Davis: One...two...three.
You both lift the door, and see a staircase leading down to a passageway.
You: Well, that isn't spooky at all...
Officer Davis: Probably an old bootlegger's tunnel.
You both begin walking down.
You: And it looks like no one's cleaned it since Al Capone.
You both walk through the corridor. The two of you feel shaking, and dust drops down from the ceiling.
You: What's that?
Officer Davis: Subway maybe?
You: Not much of a sandwich guy...
Officer Davis: Haha.
There is another rumbling, and more rubble falls.
You: Okay, that definitely wasn't a subway.
Officer Davis: That sounded like explosives.
You: Probably the Demons.
Officer Davis: The vault! Hurry!
You both run down the corridor, then make it into a room. It's one of Fisk's armories, but it's picked clean.
You: Damn it! Demons got here before us.
Officer Davis: This is one hell of an armory...or was.
You go over to a blown up door, and look out of it. You see Demons loading up weapons into a cube van. You alert Alvin.
You: Stay here.
Officer Davis: No, it'll take both of us to stop them.
He grabs a flashbang from the shelf. You notice the Demons starting to leave. Alvin noticed as wel.
Officer Davis: They're moving. Let's go!
You run out and shoot two web-lines at the two trucks. You pull them back, keeping them from driving any further.
Officer Davis: Freeze! Stop the trucks!
A Demon opens the back door of one of the trucks and uses a negative energy sword to cut the web. The Demon gets out and commands other Demons to join him in fighting you and Alvin. One of the trucks leave the area.
You turn to Alvin.
You: Get to cover!
A Demon swipes his sword down towards you, but you dodge and slide under his legs. You grab him from behind and launch him to the truck where he hits the side of it.
Alvin throws a flashbang at a trio of Demons. It explodes and disorients them, giving you the chance to take them down as well.
One Demon grabs Alvin from behind, but he elbows his assailant, cracking his clay mask. Alvin then grabs his arm and flips him over, pinning him to the ground.
Other Demons go back into one of the trucks and begin to flee. Alvin continues to pin one of the Demons down.
You: You okay?
Officer Davis: Go! I'll catch up!
You give a nod, and leap towards the moving truck.
THWIP!
You begin swinging and chase after the truck.
You: If I lose two trucks full of gunmen in one day, it'd be time for me to retire.
You keep web-slinging. Demons open the back of the truck and try shooting at you. You dodge the bullets, and run along the side a building and leap off, continuing your swing.
Officer Davis calls you.
Officer Davis: Spider-Man! I'm still dealing with some stragglers back at the yard. How are you doing?
You: They're speeding down the street. If I don't stop them, they'll end up killing somebody.
Officer Davis: Doing my best to catch up, but you might be on your own!
You: Stay safe, Alvin. Don't do anything crazy.
You hang up and continue the chase. Finally, you get close enough to web-zip onto the truck.
You: Hey, guys. Room for one more?
One Demon leans out to shoot at you, but you grab his arm and pull him out. You web him to the sidewalk. The other Demon tries to shoot too but you grab him by the collar and throw him out, webbing him to safety as well.
It was time to deal with the driver. You stick to the side of the truck near the driver's seat. The Demon fires at you, but you web his handgun and pull it away. He panics, and makes a hard right down another street.
You hang on, but your spider sense goes off. You look ahead, and see another truck speeding towards you.
You: Oh shit!
The Demon crashes head on with the other truck, the inertia causing you to fly off the side. You quickly shoot a web at the other truck and zip towards it.
The truck crashes through a barrier, about to fall into a subway rail below. You use your web and try to pull the truck back up. Your spider sense goes off again, and you see the subway train about to pass by.
You: Great. Now the 3 decides to run on time.
You continue pulling, grunting each time you take a step back. You pull the truck back up enough where the train narrowly misses the truck.
You keep holding on the web, keeping the truck from falling onto the rail. Your spider sense goes off once again, and you look to your left. You see the Demon from before speeding towards you with his truck, wanting to run you over.
Not wanting to let go of the truck and put its driver in danger, you close your eyes and brace for the impact.
Suddenly, a police cruiser t-bones the side of the Demon's truck, causing both vehicles to topple over. You open your eyes and look on, seeing Officer Davis exiting the wrecked car.
You continue pulling the truck back up onto the street, but the Demon gets out from his wrecked vehicle and aims his rifle at you.
Alvin quickly springs into action and punches the weakened Demon square in the face, knocking him out. Alvin falls to the ground, exhausted.
You finish pulling the truck up and saving the driver. You quickly run up to Alvin on the ground and help bring him to his feet. Bystanders begin applauding and snapping pictures with their phones.
You and Alvin notice this, which gets a smile out of you. He saved you, and deserves this recognition.

Police and paramedics arrived at the scene. They begin assessing Officer Davis and are preparing to transport him to the hospital. News people and media members are at the scene too reporting on the incident.
Clementine arrives as well. She sneaks behind an ambulance. You land on top of it, and see her below.
You: Excuse me, Miss, are you supposed to be here?
Clementine scoffs.
Clementine: More than you. After the auction house thing, the Times put me on the city beat. Which means I get to focus full time on real stories like this...and the Demons.
You climb the side of the ambulance as you continue speaking.
You: You know the closer you get to them, the more you become a target, right?
Clementine: The closer I get, the better chance we have to stop them.
Clementine then walks over to Officer Davis, who is being treated.
You: "We"?
Clementine convinced Officer Davis to tell her his side of the story, and he welcomes her inside the ambulance. They then transport the both of them to the hospital.
You: Heh, she's good.

You are at your apartment. You haven't slept since the takedown of Kingpin, so it was time to get that shuteye.
You lay on your bed, and check your phone. You see a text from Aasim, which makes you smile. You haven't spoken to him in a few weeks. You know he's a Brooklyn living with Ruby.
Aasim: Hey, buddy. Surprise text. How's it going?
You: Sorry for the late reply, been busy with...you know.
Aasim: I figured. Nice new threads by the way. I've seen the pictures. Digging the white spider.
You: Good to know it's pleasant sight. How's it going for you?
Aasim: As good as you could expect. You should come visit us someday. I've learned how to bake pie.
You: Inviting me over for pie? Will I make it out alive?
Aasim: I swear it comes out good 7 out of 10 times.
You: Haha. Fine. I'll take up the offer when I can.
Aasim: Okay.
You: I'm beat. I'll talk to you later.
Aasim: Good night Y/N.
You finish texting, and put your phone down. You shut your eyes, and finally sleep.
