c/w police, between 55\'33 and 59\'57: family conflict/threats and discussion of disfigurement

\\n

\\u201cDrawing connection between the revolution\\u2019s many parts was its own challenge. Both because we were a house built with uncommon brick and because of the families desire to keep us disparate. Ezra and Oken wouldn\\u2019t be the only ones to find trouble.

\\n

As our messengers worked their way across rooftop, through the cut, down the canals, the Swifts swarmed like their namesakes, looking to pick us off. Over on Lastreach, the cells filled up.\\u201d

\\n

Ezra staggers through the dark ginnels of Calvary, the explosion not long behind them. The whistles of the Swifts echo down close alleyways. The night has turned familiar streets into something like a maze.

\\n

No. Labyrinth. 

\\n

Ezra knows their destination. They know every brick and cobble, every turn that\\u2019ll lead them there. Nilkat. He\\u2019s the only person who can get them out of this.

\\n

Ivar appoints a deputy, Neah goes fabric shopping, Ash has family problems and Oken contacts an old friend.

\\n
