My CEO 277

277 What's really Going On? (Winona)

The hum of the helicopter blades above is relentless. I look out the window at the views beneath me, but I can't enjoy any of it. My mind spins, from everything Gus said. Jayden might be the real target.

The first stop is coming up soon. I have to change helicopters, according to the pilot, something Gus arranged. But the stops, the precautions, only makes me more anxious.

What's really going on here?

My mind drifts back to what Gus told me. Jayden might be the real target. Cass is just bait. I'm bait. Maybe part of a bigger plan to lure Jayden.

But why?

I try to make sense of it, piecing together the scattered puzzle Gus has laid out in front of me. If Cass was taken to lure me and then me to lure Jayden, then her being in Cancun at all can't be a coincidence.

And if Jayden is their real target, why go through so much trouble to get him to South America? Just get him to go there and grab him. Grab him from anywhere

It doesn't make sense. Maybe Cass is really just a victim of an opportunistic kidnapping, and they are only after money.

I mean, if Cass was taken to Cancun for the sole purpose of kidnapping her, that means Gabriel had to know something, surely. And where is Gabriel?

Why wasn't he with Cass when they took her? Or was he with Cass and the reason she is now captive.
