Karla had done what she could in order to make her arrival in Seattle and the timing of Eddie's little plan seem as much like a coincidence as possible. She'd made plans with at least two different parties, and even agreed to meet Spider-Man for trick or treating later this evening. Of course, they'd just have to deal when she didn't show, but it wasn't like she really intended to attend any of them anyway ( ... )

It was a dreary way to spend Halloween, locked and confined in a small, cold holding cell. Darcy flipped her coin, not for answers but for something to focus her mind on. Her resources here were still lacking, she had no one here to bust her out of here. (Not that she was privy to.)

So her October 31st thus far involved staring ahead, eyes dark, awaiting a trial date.

The sound of commotion from outside broke her concentration. She cocked her head to one side, listening to what sounded like shouts -- gunfire -- even an explosion. She stood up, walking over to the bars of her cell and trying to get a look out the front door. When that was met with failure, she made for the small window.

Eddie observed the orderly chaos, amidst a gathering crowd. Police on scene were pushing at the crowd, trying to protect them with distance. The thug who dented a cop car was strapped away by on-site paramedics, and soon hauled away before rolling cameras and recording mobile phones. The whistle of a fired missile seared upwards, the bazooka's mouth aimed at Karla.

Screaming soured the air. People started to panic, and run. Another missile was loaded, pale and shaking hands fumbling with the weapon. Eddie moved back against his crowd, melding away.

It was a good thing that the thugs that Eddie had hired were at least somewhat competent and didn't waste any time shooting at her again. If the man with the bazooka had stalled, she couldn't have looked as caught off guard as she did at that moment.

She really hoped Darcy knew what was happening, or at least caught on quickly enough to stay away from the wall, and would get away as soon as it came down, because she wasn't going to be responsible for the woman's safety once after this. She would focus on the other thugs and hopefully the chaos would distract the cops, but if she couldn't escape when the opportunity arose, then this entire plan was a waste, save for the free publicity.

She turned "just in time" to see the missile coming, raising her hand up defensively as if in a reflex, but when the missile should have connected with her, instead it passed through harmlessly and, just as planned, took out the wall behind her, releasing the prisoners in the holding cells ( ... )
