Gordon was helped to his feet, but the shock on his face remained.
Before he could deal with one problem, another one surfaced. He hadn’t even wrapped his head around the SAMsituation when Wesley showed up, alive and well.
All of Gordon’s plans had gone up in smoke, leaving him feeling like a pawn in Wesley’s game. He felt shock, anger, and frustration overwhelming him,
Gordon refused to accept his defeat, so he stormed up to Wesley and demanded, “Cronus, what have you done?”
How did he secure SAM? How did he get out of the ambush unscathed? How was he well and alive after the car accident?
Jodie warned. “Mr. Gordon, is that how you speak to the head of the family?”
