The group travels to the Juju House in Harlem. The place contains some traditional components of African tribal magic among the useless knickknacks on display. By distracting the shopkeeper, Silas N'Kwané, they discover a trap door hidden under a rug behind the counter, with the distinct odor of rotted meat around it. The trap door is locked, so they leave it for now and head out.

Reconvening at the New York City Public Library, Curtis makes an appointment to visit Dr. Mordecai Lemming at 4 pm on Monday, 1/19. Victor finds some references to Dr. Lemming in the society pages.
