"Coming Coming!" he said as he ran for the door. He opened the door to find, much to his surprise, Peg standing there with a suitcase.

"I'm so sorry to come both you at such a late hour Max but everything's gone horribly wrong."

"It's no problem. Come on in." Max said before letting her in and closing the door. "What happened anyway?"

"Well first 'Scarlett Pete' and 'Pistol Packin' Pistol vanished about an hour before the cops arrived. Then I was arrested for soliciting help from a gang with sales and harboring criminals, neither of which I knew was happening until the charges were brought up. I managed to get out of jail time but the judge, who'd had it with that gang, wanted to make an example out of me and slapped the most fines possible on me. Because of that I had to sell everything but the suitcase and its contents today. The worst part is that I lost my job and can't work in that industry ever again."

"I'd heard about the disappearance since the had the nerve to empty my cash register on the way out but I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. You can crash here for the night and tomorrow we'll talk over permanent living arrangements." Max offered.
