That same day, Wayne, an old partner from his time in the Roughs, re-enters Wax’s life carrying with him an [[aluminum]] bullet and a tantalizing mystery surrounding a gang of train robbers known as the [[Vanishers]], which threatens to draw Wax away from his house responsibilities and right back into the life of a lawman.
== The Vanishers ==
Against his better judgement, and under the disapproving eye of his butler, Tillaume, Wax begins to piece together the history of the Vanishers, hoping to discover the reason for their unorthodox targets as well as the secret behind the way they commit their crimes. Realizing the distraction this has created for his house duties, Waxillium endeavors to put away this new obsession and attend the Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner with Sterris, marking their public debut as a couple.
After the wedding is interrupted by the arrival of bandits from the Vanishers gang, who proceed to rob the lords and ladies in attendance at gunpoint, Wax initially refuses Wayne’s insistence that he take up a pistol, convincing himself that the Elendel constabulary will be able to handle the disturbance with far less bloodshed. When the gang goes too far, killing a man and taking Sterris as a hostage, Wax admits that he cannot stand idly by, and attacks the gang with his backup pistols and the full fury of his steel-pushing.
