Max was yelling, “Hey, get me out of this! You have no reason to tie me up like a damned animal! Help! Help! Help!”

Jim, who had been sleeping on one of the couches close to Max, woke up, looked around and remembered finding Max, disarming him and tying him up. He walked over to Max, who had a crowd around him now of elderly people who had just woken up for the day. “What is going on?” Bruce asked.

Max said, “I was just looking for this hunting lodge so I could go hunting and I woke up all tied up! I would like to know what is going on, too!”

Jim interjected, “Yep, you were going hunting all right. But not for animals. You would’ve brought a rifle if you were hunting for animals, but you brought a pistol and revolvers. You came here to hunt for people.”

“How could you accuse me of that?” Max asked in mock innocence. “What do you think I am?

“If you were, as you say you were, coming up here to hunt animals, you wouldn’t have been walking around the lodge in the dark. You would have come to the front door.” Jim answered. “You are nothing but a troublemaker!”

Donald walked up about that time and was listening to the conversation between Jim and Max. Max said, “I have had this trip booked for three months and am a regular customer of this facility. Just wait until I tell the owner how you are treating me! You will all lose your jobs!”

Donald asked him, “What is the name of the lodge?”

Max said, “Uh, it has slipped my mind. I must have hit my head last night, or maybe one of you clobbered me! This is going to be such a big lawsuit! Hitting me over the head and then tying me up! You guys are in so much trouble!”

Donald looked him in the eyes and said, “You don’t remember the name of the lodge because you never booked a hunting trip with us. You are not a regular customer and have never been a customer here.”

Max interrupted and asked, “How would you know that?”

Donald said, “Because I am the owner! Also, you were not knocked over the head by us, you fell into a big pit and knocked yourself out with the fall. You are not being honest with us and I don’t like you!”

Max said, “Well I don’t like you either! Untie me right now! I have to go to the bathroom and I am hungry!”

Donald said, “Good luck with that. You can piss yourself and defecate all over yourself and we will call you stinky! Ok everybody, time to get to work. The show is over.” He called Jim aside and said, “Jim do you think you can get him safely to the toilet and get him back tied up here?” When Jim answered affirmatively, Donald asked him to wait until Max calmed down and was no longer trying to run the show. “Don’t let him escape and keep the bathroom door open so you can keep an eye on him. Also, could you please get someone assigned to feeding him? He needs to have his hands tied up, so whoever it is will need to actually feed him.”

Everybody got to work and Jim asked Karen if she would be so kind as to feed this contrary prisoner. Karen was happy to take care of the young man and show off her new updo that Grace Wilkens had done in her hair. Grace had been a beautician and was enjoying designing hair-dos for the women and cutting the men’s hair, as well.

Karen came in with a tray of food for Max and said, “Hello Dahling!”

Max looked over at Karen, his mouth dropped open and he said, “Eva? Eva Gabor?”

Karen looked at him, pleased and said, “I do look rather like her don’t I dahling?”

Max said, “And you sound like her too! What are you doing here?”

“Why, feeding you, of course!” Karen said and sat down to take care of him.

Meanwhile, the doctor got off of his chair, knelt down and said, “God, if there is a God, can you forgive me? I have killed people and don’t deserve your forgiveness, but if you are up there, I plead for your mercy. Amen” He stood up, climbed onto the chair, fastened the rope around his neck and stepped off of the chair. Later, when he didn’t show up for work, his assistant found him. He called their superior, who was not pleased and asked him if he felt capable of doing the doctor’s job and when he answered affirmatively, was told someone would be sent to take care of the doctor’s body and the PR necessary. This young man, Quenton Appleby, took the elevator downstairs and began taking care of the second group of elderly.
