Jimmy James

Jimmy James is the local paper boy for Harvest. Along with Hank Mason and Karin Fitzpatrick, he is one of the few children NPCs in the game.

History
Jimmy would deliver papers for the Sentinel. This changed when the Sentinel building burnt down, leaving him no newspapers to deliver. He now collects recyclable paper from around the neighborhood. The route caused holes to develop on his sneakers.

Sometimes he would hide in the broom closet at Gein Memorial School, where he would watch Mr. Herrill and Miss Waley engage in an affair.

In-Game
Steve first meets Jimmy outside his home, where Jimmy introduces himself and complains that Steve hasn't been bringing the paper out in the morning. He also mentions his desire for a new pair of sneakers, for which he is willing to trade anything.

Each morning, Steve's mother will warn him to get the paper for Jimmy: "Don't forget to put the papers out for Jimmy! You know how he gets!"

Steve can get a pair of sneakers to give Jimmy by stealing the "bloodied sneakers" from the evidence room at the sheriff's office. After getting his new sneakers, Jimmy will give him the keys to the Gein Memorial broom closet, and tell him about Principal Herrill and Miss Waley sneaking in there at 3:45 PM, after everyone has gone home.

Quotes

 * "There now, see how easy it is? Things are so much better between us when you remember the paper in the morning... and let's keep 'em that way!"
 * "Sometimes I hide in there beforehand, and daddy-o, I seen some stuff that's real nasty!"

Trivia

 * If Steve attacks Jimmy, Jimmy will pull a handgun from his newspaper bag and shoot at Steve with it. If Jimmy is killed, Steve can loot the handgun, as well as the key to the Gein Memorial School broom closet.
