280 Facing the Danger (Winona)

The helicopter blades beat above me as I jump out of the chopper. My heart pounds in sync with the relentless thrum. Gus is standing there, waiting for me, his face stone cold.

The same damn unreadable expression he always wears.

My mind is a mess. I keep thinking about Jayden. I've walked out on him on our wedding day. But this? Gus has a lot to answer for and I don't care what he says.

He will help me get Cass out and then he can go back to wherever he came from and leave us alone.

"Gus," I start, stepping up to him, my voice sharp, cutting through the noise of the blades. "You knew this was about Jayden from the start, didn't you?"

He doesn't even flinch. "No. But now I know they are after Jayden to get to me."

"Goddamn it." I throw my hands up. "So, Cass was taken just to get to me, and I was supposed to lure Jayden right into a trap, is that it? This whole thing is because of you and whatever it is you're involved in!" His eyes flicker with darkness, but he doesn't say a word.

"You left Jayden with Judy, you let him grow up thinking he wasn't worth shit, and now you've dragged him into some other nightmare." I'm yelling now, the anger bubbling over.

"I didn't want this to happen." His voice is steady, but I can see his fists clenching at his sides.

"Didn't want this to happen?!" I spit, stepping closer to him, my chest heaving. "All Jayden and I ever wanted was a normal life-a chance to raise our family in peace."

"I want that too, Winona. Truly."
