"Freak the Mighty Strikes Again"
In the beginning of chapter 20, Max is still trying to free Loretta from Killer Kane’s grip but fails as now he is imaging his mom as Loretta Lee, the one who was really being choking and strangled. Killer Kane now has his grip around Max’s neck instead of Loretta who is gasping for air. Max is screaming at his father that he can still remember how he choked his mother , but Killer Kane denies it and tell Max that there’s no way he can remember that event because he was only four. Squeezing tighter, Max can feel his life slipping away faster and faster when he can hear someone yell from above. Freak comes down the stairs with a squirt gun, her starts explaining to Killer Kane that he had a dangerous acid instead the gun and that he should be deathly afraid. Not believing a word Freak is saying, Killer Kane laughs while Freak squirts Kane in the eye. Killer Kane starts screaming, think his eyes are burning while Freak jumps on top of Max and tries to escape. While Killer Kane is trying to grab at Max’s feet, Max keeps going until he’s above the basement where there are a million cops who are shoving Kane into the car. At the end of this chapter, Freak and Max reunite again.(Stephanie Santillanez) |
