Deep in the caverns underneath Gotham City, Jonah Hex wrestles with a massive prehistoric bat. Finally, he manages to stun the creature long enough to bring his pickax down hard on it, killing it, and ripping off its head. This act seems to have impressed the previously hostile underdwelling Miagami people. Hex shows them the bat's head, and in exchange, the Miagamis direct them to climb up a certain crevice. Mrs. Moody is horrified by her husband's activities, and informs the pair that he has likely gone to New Orleans, where he has several property holdings and investments.
