=== Chapter 1 ===
17 years later, the chapter opens with Winsting Innate preparing to open an auction of his services to the biggest criminals in Elendel. After an introductory speech, he begins to mingle. He is approached first by a smuggler named Dowser, who is accompanied by a tall, slender woman with short golden hair. After the conversation, Winsting identifies the woman as a spy, possibly a constabularly plant, to his bodyguard Flog, and orders her watched. He continues to mingle for the next hour, but then a gunshot rings out, with more quickly following. Flog drags him out and takes him to his saferoom. No one is certain who started the gunfight, but Flog decides to go back up the the room to investigate after locking Winsting in. Eventually Flog returns, and Winsting lets him in. He tells them that everyone upstairs was dead. As Winsting considers what to do, someone grabs his hair and slits his throat.

=== Chapter 2 ===
Sterris and Wax discuss wedding invitations, with Sterris trying to work out which of Wax's enemies to invite so that she can properly plan for the wedding to be interrupted. In response to Sterris wanting Wax to invite more of his family, he suggests inviting the leaders among the seamstresses and forgeworkers of his house, and the constable-general of each of the city octants. Their discussions are interrupted by Wayne bursting in to tell Wax that the Marksman has made his move. With some hurried apologies, he races out, but is surprised by the sight of a motorcar, with Marasi at the wheel. After protesting that a carriage with horses would be better, he gets in and they drive off, Marasi and Wayne filling Wax in on the details. They quickly find Marks, who is bounding through the streets using Steelpushes. Wax jumps out of the car and propels himself onto the roof of Marasi's car, before pushing off and chasing the man. He eventually catches up to him, and engages him in conversation, but is distracted by one of the bystanders, bearing the facy of Bloody Tan. Marks momentarily forgotten, he pushes through the crowd, trying to find the man he had seen, calling out to see if anyone had seen him. Wayne and Marasi catch up, and ask him what happened, if Marks got away. Wax points out that Marks is bleeding so will have left a trail.
