290 The Waiting Game

(Jayden)

I'm pacing the length of the room, my eyes flicking to Gus's laptop every few seconds. The signal from Winona's GPS tracker hasn't moved in thirty minutes. My stomach churns with anxiety.

Every second that ticks by feels like an eternity. "Are they just standing still?

"No, we've lost satellite transmission."

I had high hopes when I could see the van on the road but that froze soon after.

Gus sits at the desk, calm and focused as he types away. He's too calm. How can he be so calm?

"They should have made contact by now," I say, unable to keep the frustration out of my voice.

"The van crashed. It went off road before it got to the interception point. They've just tracked it down." Gus replies, not looking up from the screen. "Crashed?" I snap. "Are they okay?"

Gus finally looks up, his expression neutral. "They aren't there. A dead guy in the back. The driver and passenger both died too."

"Fuck! Where are Winona and Cass?"

"We assume they are alive."

"Assume?" Winona is out there, with Cass, in the middle of goddamn Mexico, and we're sitting here like everything's under control. "Fuck off, Gus. You promised. I will go there. I don't give a shit about any of your Nexus Global bullshit." "There're tracks. Jeep tracks. They are following them now, but we think we have a location. There's an abandoned airstrip."

I run a hand through my hair, pulling at the roots in frustration. "What if something's happened? What if="

"Don't," Gus cuts me off, his voice sharp. "You need to trust the process. My team is the best there is."

"Yeah, well, your best hasn't exactly inspired a lot of confidence so far." I say, pacing again.

Then there's a loud beeping alarm the same as when Winona pressed the button to signal she and Cass were together.

"Ah, that's it, Winona. Well done!" Gus practically jumps out of his seat.

"What?" I rush over to the screen. And I see the signal bleeping from a totally different place now.
