Story[]

Jenkins is a longtime friend of Japanese journalist Shunichi Ibe and invites him to New York City to interview local gang leaders. Jenkins and his subordinate, Charlie Dickinson, keep an eye on Ibe and his assistant Eiji Okumura while they interview Ash Lynx, only entering the underground bar as a police force when Frederick Arthur's followers attack Ash's gang. When Eiji, Skip, and Ash are abducted by Arthur's thugs, Jenkins tries to reassure Ibe that they will find Eiji, and they invade the group's hideout after Eiji escapes and informs them of the location. In the commotion, however, Ash runs away in pursuit of Marvin Crosby, entering Willard Evanstine's district, where he is framed for murder.

Evanstine quickly takes over the case from Jenkins, only allowing the detective to watch Ash's police interrogation from behind a one-way mirror as a professional courtesy. Jenkins is deeply sympathetic toward Ash after learning of the boy's history of abuse, and he asks his friend and colleague Max Lobo to keep an eye on Ash in prison and protect him from the other inmates. Jenkins and Charlie visit Max and Ash in prison several times.
