==== Captain Cash and the Bunker ====
Another problem soon emerged in Paleto Bay: the arrival of [[Gerwin Cash|Captain Cash]]. A former navy captain with an unbreakable will and a stare like steel, Cash joined Damian as both protector and advisor. His military discipline and unwavering moral stance clashed immediately with Edward’s ruthless style. Edward didn’t fear many, but Cash was an outlier—resilient, unreadable, and unmoved by intimidation.

After a short confrontation in Paleto Bay, where Billy had taken a sniper position overlooking the meeting, Edward stepped forward and attempted to pressure the Paletan duo. He barked threats and laid down ultimatums. But none of it landed. Cash’s presence dominated the encounter, silencing Edward with sheer composure. Frustrated and unsatisfied, Billy and Edward left, retreating back to the city with more questions than answers.

But Edward wasn’t done. He and Billy decided to spy on Cash, needing to understand who exactly had entered the playing field. They tracked him back to a hidden bunker deep in [[Raton Canyon]] and installed a series of discreet microphones along the perimeter. While tailing him to the site, something unexpected happened.

A luxury helicopter descended onto the bunker. From it stepped Alexa. Edward and Billy, watching from a hidden vantage point, listened as Alexa confronted Cash. She demanded repayment of a $15 million loan that she had “granted” to Damian. The conversation made one thing clear: Alexa had never been neutral. She was deeply involved, and the loan was never a business transaction—it was protection disguised as debt. What Edward had suspected was now confirmed.
