Jessika was attentive before, but once Camila began to explain, she was focused like a hound on a fox. The governor of Texas was involved in human trafficking. Until the bigger picture became clear, a knot wrenched her gut, as she had immediately pictured the trafficking of children. This it seemed involved illegal aliens. They were promised safe smuggling across the border, then caught at the last moment. The cartels made money off the poor souls they swindled and the Governor earned higher approval ratings for his tough campaign on aliens. It made Jessika sick.
The nausea subsided and she quickly slipped into gubernatorial mode herself. The implications of all this was staggering. How to use it against the governor? Exposing him may or may not be the best strategy. Then there was the motivation behind Damien sharing this information with her to consider. He wanted the current governor deposed, apparently, or else he wanted an unstable Texas if he were simultaneously working against Jessika so that neither of them won the upper hand in the race. She wouldn't put it past him. An unstable Texas made a stable Mexico look all the better. Perhaps he wanted Jessika to win and make good on her promise to leave the USA. Well, the motive didn't matter. Jessika had no skeletons in her closet to expose, except her husband's of course.
"Thank you for this information my dear. I will see that it is used in the best of capacities. Is that all? Or do we have other business to attend?"
She wasn't ignorant. She assumed Damien was not offering this information out of the kindness of her heart, but the cat was out of the bag. Who knew if Jessika would be compliant now?
