Chapter 16: In the beginning of chapter 16 Max’s dad tells Max to put on his clothes, and to not make a sound. Max feels like he is being hypnotized; however; his father says they poisoned his mind to turn Max against him. When they get outside there is snow not a lot, but just enough to cover the ground. Max isn't cold even though he didn't bring a jacket, he didn't have time for it, but his body is chattering and his head doesn't even know it yet. When they reach a stoplight his father says come here, and tells him he’s an old chip off the block. Max follows his dad even though he knows where he is going, to the testaments. When they get there Max hears Loretta yell “Hey Iggy look what the cat dragged in”. They go in there and have a burger that Max can hardly manage to swallow, and Iggy says that he can show Max’s father that one place anytime, so his father responds with how about now.
