;Prologue
Wax is an inexperienced and naïve bounty hunter determined to make a difference in the [[Roughs]]. He is hunting [[Granite Joe]], with a teenage [[Wayne]] tagging along as his assistant.
;Part 1
A year after the capture and execution of [[Miles Dagouter|Miles Hundredlives]], Wax and Steris plan for their wedding. Wax works as a special constable.

Wax figures that this was all a distraction and hurries back to try to protect the governor.
