=== Chapter 3 ===
The trio head further into the slums. Wayne lags behind, and finds an older man sitting next to a doorway, coughing. Wayne mimics the man, learning the accent, as he talks to him, having a mouthful of whisky before trading the flask for the man's hat. He then joins a group of men, fitting right in with his accent and his new hat. He comments about Wax and Marasi, who are trying (in vain) to get information from people around the place. Wayne mentions that there's a thousand notes on Marks' head. The men tell him off, warning him not to be a rat. Eventually the group dissipates, and Wayne trails the man who had lectured him. Eventually the man enters a building, and Wayne overhears him talking to Marks. Slipping on his sets of wooden knuckle-bones, Wayne charges into the building, throwing up a speed bubble and knocking out Marks. Looking around, he sees he place the bubble perfectly, with the other half dozen individuals in the room outside of the bubble. Wayne throws Marks out the window, and then follows him. The speed bubble collapsing after Wayne leaves it, he throws Marks over his shoulder and strolls away, eating an apple.
