Chapter #11 (The Damsel of Distress): Throughout Chapter 11, Freak and Max find out that “Loretta Lee” lives on the other
side of the millpond in the New Testaments. Then, max remembers that he
promised Gram that he would never go over there even with Grim or Freak. That
is when Freak tells Max that it is okay to break a promise when you are on a
quest. Max does break his promise and goes over there even though you do not
want to break a promise. Freak suggested that they go to the playground and cut
through the trees in case someone is watching. When they finally get to the
address on the Driver’s License they are greeted by an old woman getting the
newspaper and calls “Iggy!” and an old man that “has a beard that looks like
red barbed wire”(Philbrick #65). Max realizes that “Iggy”, is the leader of a
dangerous bike gang. The two boys are then told to come inside and that’s when
Loretta realizes that Ma is Killer Kane’s son. Before the boys left the four of them did not
have a real argument but some type of argument.
