To his surprise, Freak is outside too. Yet, he?s standing by a tree hitting it, and then he crawls to the house, drags a red wagon out, and climbs into it and resumes hitting the tree. Max wonders what he is hitting, so he moves to get a better view. That?s when he sees an object in the tree. Therefore, he goes over to get the object out of the tree, but Freak startles him when he points his crutch at him. Those crutches really scare Max. Freak is so out of breath that he couldn?t speak nor move. So max reaches up and gets the object. It?s a mechanical bird. Max asked if Freak wanted it, and of course, he did.

The next day, Max stayed home to wait for Freak to come home from the hospital. When freak came home, his mother told Max that he couldn?t go outside until he was better, so they went to his room. The first thing Freak did was start bossing him around like he never was sick. At home, Max is in his room when he hears Grim and Gram arguing. It seems that Max?s father might be getting out of jail on parole. Grim wants to protect them by using a gun, but Gram doesn?t want him to use a gun, because she has been having dreams about Kenny using the gun against him. Later, Grim goes down into Max?s room to talk to him. He asks Max to do him a favor and stay in the house for a couple of days. During Christmas Eve, Gwen and Freak join Max and his grandparents for dinner. After supper, they sit around talking and opening one present. Everyone likes their presents, especially Max.

Then he takes a rope and ties it to him and Max, so he can make sure Max will not runaway. In the morning, Loretta coming in through the back way awakens Kenny. She said that nothing was open, so she brought some left over pizza. Kenny kept insisting to see Iggy and for her to leave. When she did leave, he told Max not to eat anything she touches.

All the found were prunes, cereal, and spoiled stuff in the refrigerator. So Max just ate some cereal with water. It didn?t bother him, because he was so hungry. When Iggy arrived, he told Kenny that the cops had came by his house looking for Max. Kenny told him that he needed a gun and transportation. Iggy left to get what he wanted.
