The hearse is really going much too fast for roads this narrow and crowded, but the locals are sort of used to it by now. The blaring siren and the flashing blue lights are a dead giveaway, anyway, and so cars are shuttling madly to the side of the road. Those that aren't, well, Ray manages to navigate around them anyway.
"There we go," he says, pointing with one hand as he pulls around a curve in the road at last. "Battery Park. And on the other side of it, right at the very tip of Manhattan? The ferry terminal, and the door."
The car jolts to a halt and Ray silences the noise and lights. "ready?"
