=== Chapter 14 ===
Wax arrives at a Pathian church with a mob outside. He shows himself with Vindication drawn, and the group scatters, although one person stays hidden nearby. He tells the Pathian missionary what happened to Father Bin. He suggests she flee to the Village and get her colleagues to go with her. He then seeks out person hiding. He reveals that the trouble started when two people dressed in Pathian robes came into a pub and started cursing the Survivor. It was either Bleeder and someone else, or maybe two confederates, or maybe the Set? Wax next goes to Ashweather Carriage and Coach. Some silver paint scraped off on the bricks in the alleyway behind the Survivorist church looks like it came from one of their carriages. He asks the proprietor for who has retained a carriage that night, and he seems to eager to please, raising Wax's suspicions. He narrows it down to coach sixteen as the one Bleeder might have used to make her getaway. Cett's Coinshot employee shows up to report on the drivers, and she lets slip that they also employ a [[zinc|Rioter]] to drum up business, a serious crime.
Marasi and MeLaan arrive at the precinct where rifles are laid out. Extra constables are being called in. MeLaan notices all the women in the station, and they start to discuss religion. MeLaan thinks it's silly to worship the Survivor instead of Harmony because he's dead, but Marasi explains that he '''did''' survive and even held Preservation before Vin took it up.{{msh ref|6|4}} Marasi gets the file on the dam, and MeLaan notices a lot of hostility toward her from her colleagues. The file explains that a farmer had blown up the dam to ruin a neighbor's harvest, but he put too much dynamite in. He was acting insane and couldn't remember his children's names, and the grave was "desecrated" two days after his execution. All clues that the farmer was actually Bleeder.
