I find her on her laptop.

"How are you really feeling?" I ask, standing by the edge of the bed.

She looks up, her eyes softening. "Tired, but okay. It's good to be home. That makes me feel one thousand percent better. You've got that look." "What look?" I ask, kicking off my shoes and stripping down to my boxers.

"The one that says you've got something weighing on you," she replies, her tone softer now.

I sigh, running a hand through my hair and sit on the edge of the bed. "It's Cass. She's in danger, Winona. Real danger."

Winona shifts, her eyes narrowing with concern. "What kind of danger? How?"

"Don Alejandro, he hasn't been arrested. He's gone underground and he's still calling the shots," I say, my voice low.

"But Cass has nothing to do with him, or Mia anymore. Gus cleared her of anything drug-related. How can she be in danger?"

"Cass went to her old apartment. To clear it up. Trying to make a clean slate, I think. While she was there, they turned up." "Who?"

"Mia first. Then him. Cass hid, so they never knew she was there."

"Oh shit. Jayden, what does this mean?"

"If he finds out she overheard them, he'll come after her. She hasn't told anyone. Luckily, she went straight to Viktor. But no one, I mean no one, can utter a word of this ever. Gus is still worried Don Alejandro may find out if he had eyes in the area." "What are the chances of that?"

"Every chance. You know how Gus is with security and finding information, Don Alejandro is on the same level."

"Oh my God, Jayden. What will we do?"
