The room is dimly lit, the faint glow from a single lamp casting long shadows on the walls. I sit in silence, waiting.

It's been a long game, but we're finally approaching the end. Our inroads into the USA will soon be open and

operating.

Every move has been calculated, and now it's just a matter of setting the final pieces in place.

A knock at the door breaks the stillness, and a dark figure steps inside. They move with confidence, every step

deliberate, as they approach and sit across from me.

Familiar dark eyes gleam, sharp and calculating.

We talk easily in Spanish.

"We've got a problem," they say, voice calm but full of purpose.

| lean forward slightly. "What kind of problem?"

"Gus Brennan. He's about to reveal the Cuban and South American networks. He has all he needs. That fuck has

been a double agent all along. Nexus Global is a front for a worldwide spy ring." "So, we kill him. Simple."

"No. That won't work. Gus is too smart. What we need is for him to take the fall. He'll never reveal the work

Nexus Global is a front for."

"How do you know this?" | ask, keeping my tone measured.

"We've been tipped off. We have solid proof," they say, drumming their fingers lightly on the table. "He's

planning to expose the cartels, Cuban officials, all of it. But after Jayden's wedding." "Why then?"

"Gus knows this could blow up in his face and he's not drawing attention to himself. He's going to act like life is

normal. If he succeeds, it'll bring down everything we've built." "And the USA wins again."

"Exactly."

| take a deep breath, the weight of the situation sinking in. Gus Brennan is poised to destroy everything. Our

control, our influence, the entire infrastructure we've worked to infiltrate for decades. If he exposes the

networks, the USA and its allies will move in swiftly to wipe us out.

"And what are we going to do about it?" | ask, keeping my voice steady.

"We shut Gus down. We can force him to reveal himself as a traitor to the USA. Once we have him branded as a

secret agent, they'll arrest him for treason. His company, his legacy, everything will fall apart. If we can turn the

tables on him, if we can get him arrested for treason, it'll take out the entire network of

agents.

"And how do we make him take the fall as a traitor?" | ask.

"We make sure we have what he loves the most and we don't reveal what Nexus Global has actually been

doing." The figure across fromgives a small, knowing smile. "We get Jayden then we'll get Gus." Jayden. His

heir. The one thing Gus would never risk. The only piece on the board that could make him sacrifice everything

he's built-his power, his empire, his life.

"Wouldn't it be easier to take out the kids?"

"No. Gus has too much security on them. Plus, it's too risky if the killer gets caught. But Jayden, we can bring him

to us."

"Go on," | urge.

"We get Jayden to South America. Once he's there, we'll hold him. Gus won't hesitate to cafter him, and

when he does, we'll force him to trade Jayden's life for his silence. He'll be forced to choose. Expose himself as a

traitor or sacrifice his son's life." It's brilliant. Gus would never let anything happen to Jayden, and they know it. If

we get our hands on Jayden, Gus will have no choice but to bow to our demands.

"And how do you plan on getting Jayden to South America?" | ask, my curiosity piqued.

"That's a 'you' problem," they reply. "With that ridiculous family, I'm sure you'll have no trouble."

| sit back, considering a plan. If we can't use the kids against Jayden, what else would bring him to South

America? | smile. Of course. It's too easy really. Winona.

Jayden will follow. And Gus? Gus will have no choice but to act, sacrificing himself to save his son. Poor stupid

fools.

"How soon can we move?" | ask, my mind already calculating the next steps.

"As close to Jayden's wedding day as possible."

| let a slow smile spread across my face. It's perfect. Gus Brennan has fooled us for years but if we hit him where

it hurts, if we force him to choose between his son and taking us down, he'll fold. We have the upper hand now

we know he's working against us.

He'll sacrifice himself for Jayden. Family is a cancer. They make you weak and vulnerable. I'll never allow that to

happen. My cause is greater than anything else,

"And when Gus is exposed?" | ask, leaning forward. "What happens then?"

The figure's smile widens. "Once Gus exposes himself as a traitor, the USA will disown him. And without Gus,

Nexus Global will fall apart. Any double agents will scatter. We'll deal with them in time." "We've got to make

sure it works," | say firmly. "Gus can't slip through our fingers. Not this time."

The figure stands, their posture relaxed but their eyes gleaming with a dangerous edge. "It'll work. Once we have

Jayden, Gus will have no choice."

I'll set things in place."

"Timing is crucial. Gus has to think he is still in control until the very last minute. He can't suspect anything."

"I have a plan. This wedding will be the perfect cover."
