What is the whiskey running process in place in the area and what is Sylder's role in it?

Bootlegging operations, a response to Prohibition, which at this time was still in effect, had been changed by some recent arrests. Garland Hobie and his mother used to be at the center of the operations, but the mother was arrested when Jack the Runner was caught. As a result, Garland now carried the whiskey halfway, up to the orchard keeper's property, and hid it in some honeysuckles. There, Sylder would pick it up and take it the rest of the way.
