Wax is perched on an electrical pole outside the governor's mansion. He hears Bleeder's voice in his head again, indicating that she is close. She threatens to kill the governor again and calls Wax a pawn. Wax walks about, trying to get closer, or at worst far enough away that she can't talk to him so he'll know where to look. He notices some movement in a window of a nearby office building, and Paalm starts speaking aloud in her raspy voice. She tries to turn him against Harmony for not intervening with Lessie and Bloody Tan. Bleeder exits the building and runs toward the mansion at Feruchemical-enhanced speed. Wax gives chase. She shoots guards as she makes her way to the saferoom, which she unlocks. She's shocked when Wax moves the same speed as her -- Wayne is there and has thrown up a speed bubble including Wax. Wax fires everything he's got and also sends a syringe out with the bullets. The bullets scatter as they pass through the bubble, but many hit Paalm and blood is spurting everywhere. The syringe misses. Wax runs into the saferoom and hears a single gunshot. The governor is there trying to save Drim, with his blood all over him. The escape tunnel door is open. Wax goes up and finds her bloody cloak, discarded in the tunnel. Wax can't figure out why she didn't kill the governor. The governor insists on staying to try to save the city.▼
