Chapter 9 - THE CRASH WAS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHTThomas had more evidence.
The original plane crash was real.
The pilot and another passenger died.
Thomas was supposed to be aboard.
He switched to a commercial flight after receiving a warning.
Who sent it?
Anonymous at the time.
Later, he learned it was Grant.
That surprised me.
“Grant saved you?”
“Yes.”
“Then why betray you later?”
Thomas looked tired.
“Because he didn’t want me dead.”
Just powerless.
That distinction mattered.
Grant knew people around Harold’s old network might target Thomas.
He warned him.
Then after Thomas disappeared, Grant saw opportunity.
He became gatekeeper.
Controlled information.
Told Claire communications were too dangerous.
Told Thomas Claire was being watched constantly.
Exaggerated threats.
Then eventually intercepted contact.
He did not create the original danger.
He exploited it.
That was more believable.

And somehow uglier.
He turned protection into control.
