Do you seriously believe that Harry is the saint that he wants everyone to see him as? We’ve had dealings before. An agreement, you could say. He gives me money, and I keep my product off the streets. But he approached me earlier this week telling me to ruin your friend’s life and knock him off the proverbial wagon. It may have been my men who burned down his house and drugged his food… But it was Harry Osborn who killed Lt. Keith Ryder.

I’m not so sure. Presumably, someone powerful. Someone who would want to drive a wedge between you and the Spider. Someone like… Harry Osborn, perchance?

And you’re right about that. But how do you know no one gave me an order beforehand?
