Chapter 34: Jim Walks on Water

Vintner agreed to meet Jim on Wednesday night in a small all-night noodle shop in Chinatown. Vintner told Jim that he should start getting accustomed to Chinatown because they purchased a lot of the food they used to feed the animals there. Vintner knew places in Chinatown where he could get live chickens, large quantities of raw meat and a bunch of more exotic items that he needed to keep the animals in the tunnel alive without having raising any suspicions. Vintner to Jim, Chinatown never closed and no one ever asked questions. They were supposed to meet at ten o'clock. From there, Vintner was supposed to introduce Jim to one of the vendors where he bought his raw meat. They were supposed to make a purchase and, if all went well, bring the goods down into the tunnels by midnight.
