2. Why does Roy have to come up with a plan for the construction?

Explanation:

Roy decides that the mission to Mother Paula’s is just too risky: someone or something will be waiting. He also has fears about trying something that is illegal. This is a problem for him, because he feels that just because something is legal doesn’t make it right. He feels like he needs to come up with a plan to protect Mullet Fingers. So he rides to Dana’s house again and taps on the window until Dana comes to see who’s there. When the bully looks out, Roy does something that’s totally atypical for him: he “moons” the bigger boy. Then, when Dana begins to run after him, Roy takes off, staying just enough ahead of the fatter boy. Eventually, he allows Dana to catch him, but the bully is so tired, he can’t really hurt Roy. Roy pretends, however, that he feels threatened and tells Dana that if he doesn’t hurt him, he’ll tell where he can find a whole case of really expensive cigarettes. He makes the bully promise that he won’t ever hurt him again and then directs the boy to the trailer at the construction site.
