Bronx, the northernmost borough of New York.
Joe Ga got out of the car, bid farewell to 'Jackal,' and located the inconspicuous black Chevrolet Malibu Thompson had prepared for him by pressing the car keys in his hand...
After checking the condition of the vehicle, Joe Ga, now in common jeans and a jacket and wearing a baseball cap, turned around and walked to the entrance of the apartment, pulling out his keys to unlock the front door.
After entering, he abandoned the cramped elevator and made his way up to the third floor through a staircase filled with bizarre odors.
Most of the Bronx's residents were new immigrants or their descendants, including African Americans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, South Americans, and some Asians from Southeast Asia.
Reaching the third floor, Joe Ga found the apartment arranged by Thompson just as he was about to enter, when he heard the noisy door of a nearby apartment being opened.
