Max woke up early the next day but did not get out of bed, instead choosing to sit and think. 'I need to find a way to make myself "useful" to Pete before I find out what he meant by "useful". What would Pete find "useful" that's not worse than or just as bad as whatever he actually has planned? Simple chores are out of the question. They'll either take too long, be too hard, or not be "useful" enough. I could get him to try again with the rv but I'm pretty sure Peg'd lose her mind if we tried that again after last times failed attempt. Wait I've got just the idea.'
Max waited sometime fleshing out his plan until he felt it was laking any major holes. Shortly thereafter Max and PJ were called down to breakfast.
"Hey Mr. P could I come help you out at the car lot today?" Max asked Pete during breakfast.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea kid. It'll be mighty boring and hot out there."
"I'll be sure to be good. I just want to help you since you've taken me in and all."
"I suppose you could tag along... but this is very serious business so I need you to promise to do exactly what I say."
"I promise I promise."said Max before finishing his breakfast.
