The day after Sam's funeral, Sunday, Max realized he needed to start preparing for the worst when school started again.
He had given in to his anger and attacked Mo earlier than he had planned. There was a decent chance he'd done enough to keep Mo from telling anyone else, but there was still a possibility that word had spread. If the entire school knew what happened, that would be a serious problem, for a lot of reasons.
Originally, his goal had been simple: to figure out why the real Max Stern never touched the money. With that kind of wealth, he could've easily put a stop to the bullying, hired someone, paid the others off, maybe even transferred to a new school altogether. But he hadn't done any of those things.
And Max was still nowhere closer to figuring out why.
