"So, all of this... Winona, Cass, even me-this is all part of their plan to get to you?"

"Yes," Gus says quietly. "They're using you to get to me because they know you're my heir. They think if they can take you, I'll do whatever they want to keep you alive. They are right.".

"And you let it get this far," I snap, anger boiling up inside me. "You let them put my family in danger because of your goddamn secrets."

Gus doesn't flinch. "I've been trying to contain it. To keep them away from you. But now... things are moving faster than I anticipated. They're getting desperate, and that's why they took Cass."

I stare at him, my mind racing. "What about Greg? Was he involved in any of this?"

Gus hesitates, and for a moment, I think he's not going to answer. But then he nods. "Greg knew about some of it. Not everything, but enough. Let's just say, he was never savvy enough to do what I do." Gus taps into this message screen again before he continues.

"He knocked up Maria on his very first operation in Cuba. Her father was livid. He had no choice but to marry her. But he truly did love her, I never involved him again."

"But Maria never knew anything about Nexus Global? Did she know about her father's corruption?"

"Yes. Maria denied him as her father. She wanted to keep her kids out of that life. It works through the

children, you see."

"What do you mean?"

"They get people into the USA and other countries. Promise them a better life. Put them through horrendous conditions moving drugs for them and then they offer more 'support' later." Things are starting to become clearer now.

Gus continues, "Jobs in businesses they've established for minimum wage. They brainwash the offspring. They have a whole army of sleepers ready to act on their command." "Are you for real?"

Gus nods. "Unfortunately, yes. It is all too real. But most people have no idea this all goes on. Kids groomed from a young age. Given an education. Paid well to do what's asked. To turn a blind eye to afford a better life for their kids." "Fucking monsters."
