Wab’s mother was an alcoholic. She had a rotating cast of men around and some of them tried to sexually abuse Wab. Wab was an excellent runner, and when the water and power went out and cell phone service was blocked in Toronto, Wab begun to run messages and packages in exchange for food. Business was good and she was in demand.
But after a year, a gang caught her. They wanted to make her stop working so that they could control the business of providing communications in the city. So they got a Native man who was addicted to opiates to commission Wab for a run in exchange for danishes. When Wab arrived she followed men with baseball bats to meet a man with kinky, red hair. He showed her that the envelope is empty and explained that he wanted to put her out of business. The men forcibly took Wab to a broken freezer. There the red-head slashed her eye and the men gang-raped her. The Native man who commissioned Wab for that run is the same man she saw in the woods.
