"You want what?" Jacob asked surprised. "Pose as Gomons." Maxwell showed a feral gerbil Animal Costume that looked exactly like the deceased gerbil. "You can't be serious." Jacob replied. "Please do this. He'd be heartbroken to discover Gomons is dead. I just need you to stand in as the gerbil intill I can find a proper replacement." Maxwell pretty much begged. Jacob sighed defeated "How long?" Maxwell delighted answered "Should be only a month or so." Jacob sighed "I will change in private." Maxwell replied "Right here. I'll leave the room." Maxwell tossed the feral gerbil Animal Costume to Jacob & then left the room. Jacob got totally undressed & put the feral gerbil Animal Costume on. He almost instantly transformed into a flesh & blood feral gerbil. Maxwell soon returned with a small cage & instructed Jacob to get in it; which he did. Maxwell grabbed Jacob's housekeys & left with Jacob in cage. Maxwell soon locked up Jacob's house & they were off.
Much later at Maxwell & his brother Alex's house....
The 6 years old Alex came into his bedroom to see the gerbil in his cage. "Hello Gomons." Alex said to the gerbil he thinks is Gomons. It's actually Jacob of course. Alex then went about his normal after school stuff. [You owe me big time for this Maxwell.] the gerbil thought.
