First Step
A. Kite (Jan 2008)

Ray looked around his empty apartment. His bags were packed, his furniture sold or given away. The GTO, he'd taken back to his dad. His turtle, Speedy, lived with Frannie now. He didn't need any of that stuff where he was going.

It'd been a long process even with sponsorship and enough money coming from his pension not to be a drain on society, but step-by-step he'd gotten through it all. Now he was on his way to becoming a citizen of Canada. No more visits, no more being lonely down here in Chicago until he put his time in.

There was one last thing to do. Actually, it'd been the first step he'd taken when he knew he had to do this. Ray went to the closet and reached up on the shelf and took it down. Step one: Buy a big hat. The Stetson fit his head perfectly.

Ray picked up his bags and shut the door on his old life forever. Fraser was waiting for him in Canada.
