3.38 Fool's Assurance

When Cass finished putting on his first look, he decided to take a peek at the guests. As he scanned the room, his gaze eventually settled on the hired gun. A sly smile crept across his face.

Cass pivoted as he heard Miles yell in frustration, "I told you I'll be right back. I just need to speak to my father quickly."

The security guard responded sternly, "And I told you that you're not going anywhere. President Atom and Sierra made it explicitly clear. You've signed a contract, and any breach of the rules could lead to your elimination. The choice is yours."

Miles glared at the guard before reluctantly taking a seat. His frustration was mounting. He desperately wanted to talk to his father to grasp the details of the plan.

All he knew was that someone intended to shoot Cass, but the timing remained a mystery. His only consolation was that his father had access to all the information, so he must be aware of how the show would unfold.
