What happens in chapter 5 of everlost

In chapter five, the reader learns that Mary Hightower is not Mary's real name. She no longer remembers her real name. Mary was chosen because she wanted a motherly name and Hightower came because of her position. She has hundreds of children living with her in the Twin Towers and knows that number will continue to grow. Places and things sometimes cross over into the land of the dead if they are beloved. Mary enjoys the respect but has no desire to be considered a god. She has been writing for more than a hundred years. At fifteen, she is one of the oldest in Everlost.

On a particular day, Mary is watching the busy people of New York but knows the living world is not her business. Just then, a boy with curly blond hair, Stradivarius, walks in with news a Finder has arrived. The Finder's name is Speedo. He is wearing a wet bathing suit and has a birthday cake with butter cream icing and the words "Happy 5th Birthday Suzie" written on top. Mary often trades for items Finders bring her and she gives Speedo the keys to a Jaguar. He accepts the trade.
