While the traitorous faction of the Brotherhood was embroiled in chaos at the upper levels, the Preservationists faction had also undergone some changes.

After several hours of fruitless brainstorming, Lebu finally gave up and left the Brotherhood's headquarters.
He had gone over Kenny's last words again and again, trying to squeeze meaning out of every sentence, every word, every pause, every half-finished thought the boy had shared with him before disappearing.
But there was nothing concrete to grasp onto, no clear lead, no direction he could pursue on his own. Whatever tail Kenny had been following, whatever secrets he had uncovered, it had already been buried along with his disappearance.
By the time Lebu stepped onto the streets of River Ward, the sky was starting to lighten.
Dawn was close.
