No More Mr. Nice Guy

1. Family Taken: An Old Enemy Strikes

An old enemy resurfaces and wreaks havoc on White by targeting his family and friends.

Sunday morning abduction. Amanda White, driving with her young grandchildren Liam and Emma, is forced off the road by a white panel van. A woman and two bearded men emerge, using knockout gas to incapacitate Amanda and Emma. Liam, despite his fear, chooses to go with them to protect his family.

Supermarket snatch. Shortly after, Jessica White and her adoptive daughter Samantha are targeted at a supermarket. The same van appears, revealing the unconscious Amanda, Emma, and Liam inside. Threatened with harm to Emma, Jessica and Samantha are also forced into the van, incapacitated by gas.

Michael Storm vanishes. Meanwhile, Michael Storm, White's brother, is intercepted by a bearded man (Delta) while walking home. Shown a video of his family captive, Michael agrees to go with the man to protect them, sending his dog Stitches home to alert White. The enemy's reach is wide, targeting multiple family members simultaneously.

2. Billy Gant Returns: Madness and Motive

I’m Billy fucking Gant, you little shit. We Gants are harder to kill than cockroaches.

Resurrection revealed. The man behind the abductions is Billy Gant, White's father, believed dead for years after being shot by Jace. Gant survived, losing an arm but fueled by madness and a thirst for revenge against those who crossed him, particularly White and the Calibers.

Cult leader's legacy. Gant plans to resurrect his own father's cult, using White, who resembles the original cult leader, as a figurehead. He believes his family possesses superior, violent genes and sees his children and grandchildren as tools to rebuild his twisted empire and settle old scores.

Control through cruelty. Gant's primary motive is to force White into submission and obedience. He intends to use White's family as leverage, threatening to harm them to ensure White complies with his insane plan to restart the cult and exert dominance.

3. Unleashing the Monster: White's Dark Path

Father or not, the man dies.

Desperate determination. Upon learning his family is missing and likely taken by his supposedly dead father, White is consumed by a fierce resolve. The thought of his loved ones in Gant's hands ignites a primal fury, pushing him towards extreme measures he previously avoided.

Crossing the line. To find his family, White knows he must embrace the darker aspects of his nature, the "monster within" he has long suppressed. This journey will force him to abandon his moral code and engage in acts he swore he never would, forever changing him.

Personal vendetta. While the rescue is paramount, White harbors a deep-seated hatred for Billy Gant, stemming from Gant's past actions against his mother and the legacy of violence he represents. White is determined that this time, Billy Gant will not survive.

4. Allies Assemble: PREY and Lawson Mobilize

Nothing is more important than getting your family back.

Lawson's resources. Thomas Lawson, a powerful ally with government connections, immediately mobilizes his resources to aid White. He provides technical support, security teams, and intelligence gathering, despite the limitations imposed by the international border.

PREY's fierce loyalty. The women of PREY, led by Elena Colt and including White's daughter Violet and Jace's girlfriend Cassandra, are fiercely loyal to White and his family. They are skilled and dangerous, ready to fight alongside White and Lawson to rescue their friends and loved ones.

United front. The crisis unites disparate groups – government assets, private security, and the vigilante women of PREY – under a common goal: finding and rescuing White's family from Gant and Ordnance Inc. This network of support is White's best hope.

5. Wider War: Attacks on Friends and Family

Oddly enough, he’s also had the people around him attacked or their privacy violated.

Jace targeted. Jace, who shot Gant years ago, is brutally attacked and nearly killed while renovating a house with his girlfriend Cassandra. The attack is orchestrated by Gant, seeking revenge, and leaves Jace severely injured, highlighting the personal nature of Gant's vendetta.

Tanner also affected. Lawson reveals that Tanner, White's nephew (and Gant's nephew), is also being targeted by Ordnance Inc. While the connection isn't explicitly stated as Gant's doing, it suggests a broader pattern of attacks linked to the Gant bloodline and the organization Gant is now associated with.

Ordnance Inc.'s reach. The involvement of Ordnance Inc., a black ops offshoot of Hexalcorp, indicates that Gant has powerful, well-funded allies. These attacks are not random but part of a coordinated effort, suggesting a larger scheme or client is involved, although Gant appears to be the primary driver in this instance.

6. The Compound: A Mexican Ghost Town

Gant’s group slaughtered them and took over the compound.

Laguna Rey location. The GPS tracker hidden by Samantha, once activated, points to a remote, abandoned village in Mexico called Laguna Rey, just across the Texas border. This becomes the suspected location where Gant is holding the family.

Cartel takeover. Laguna Rey was previously abandoned after a cartel turf war. Gant and his men discovered the town, killed the remaining cartel members guarding it, and took it over, utilizing its existing infrastructure like a chain-link fence and generator.

Fortified base. The town serves as Gant's makeshift compound, providing a defensible location away from US authorities. It's populated by Gant's loyalists and some Ordnance Inc. personnel, making it a dangerous stronghold for White to infiltrate.

7. Inside the Cage: Hostage Dynamics and Cruelty

Every time he gets out of line I’ll take it out on one of you.

Psychological warfare. Gant immediately begins using the hostages to exert control over White, even before White arrives. He separates Liam and Michael from the women, treating them better due to his twisted view of the Gant bloodline, while threatening the females.

Tomlin's depravity. The guard Tomlin, a pedophile, is assigned to watch Jessica, Samantha, and Emma. Gant, in a horrifying display of cruelty and control, grants Tomlin permission to take Samantha for the night, explicitly stating females "don't count" and using the threat of harm to the girls to control Jessica.

Amanda and Michael's plight. Amanda, traumatized by seeing her abuser alive, and Michael, struggling with his father's madness and violence, are held captive, forced to witness Gant's cruelty and fearing for the children's safety. They represent the older generation and
