After their meeting in the bar. Woodbudy told Jim to pursue Lisey to give up the papers. Jim Dooley then called Lisey Landon and threatened to hurt her if she wouldn't give up the papers. Lisey wasn't scared of him. To scare her, Jim got to her house and killed a cat and left it in her mail box.
After the cat incident, police guarded the house. However, Jim somehow got passed them and attacked Lisey in Scott's study. He tortured her and sexually harrassed her. Before leaving, he told her if the papers wouldn't be ready by night he'd kill her.
At night, he came to Lisey's home to find her sister with Lisey. Lisey attacked him and lured him into the magical dimension called Boo'ya Moon. In there, Jim got eaten by a monster called the Long Boy.
