Volume 3, Chapter 9 Summary

After Captain Raymonds expelled him from the group of thieves, Gines returned to his old job in administration as a blood-hunter (358). One day, Gines saw Caleb’s wanted notice come through the department, and he took it upon himself to track down Caleb (359). Gines followed Caleb through his travels but lost track of him when he moved into a busier part of London. Gines picked up Caleb’s trail again when he was at the inn with the officers, but it soon went cold (361).

Gines manages to pick the trail up again when an old woman says that she saw someone leave an inn at nighttime. After checking, Gines finds out that no one of that description checked in (because Caleb was still dressed in his old clothes at that time) and concludes that the man was Caleb (363). Gines follows Mrs. Marney one day, suspecting that she knows where Caleb is, but she can feel that she is being followed and, after doing her best to lose Gines, goes somewhere safe and tips Caleb off (364). Caleb creates a new disguise and then leaves again in the dark (365).
