The last of my money from my Nova Scotia spree was used to buy wood to make beds

for the kids and me. Sitting in Logan's wheelchair, I built them myself on our first day

there. With the extra wood, I went out in the backyard and built a small sandbox. I

planned on getting some sand from the beach to fill it with after dark. There was little

food left in the cupboard, and we needed furniture. I knew I couldn't steal from these

people if I wanted to stay here for any period of time, so I had to get a job. That night, I

went back into Saint John and made my last break in. The next day, I bought what I

needed to turn Logan's car into the beauty it once was. A car that was over twenty years

old, looked like it just came off the showroom floor. That's how I managed to get my job

as a mechanic and auto body repairer in one of the two Bay-West garages.
