FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 21, "Gordiaanse Knoop," dives into a distressed Greg Owen tackling a challenging physiology exam while preoccupied with an anonymous threat. He contemplates on alerting his family about the menacing message, though worries about inducing panic or he himself doesn't know how to reach his father—who is in prison. Greg is constantly being watched and followed by an unknown man in a black car, driving him to increase his speed and finally take refuge at a nearby police station. Finding a brief respite, Greg diverts to his friend Lisa's house, where he has a deep discussion with her father, Dirk, an ex-policeman. In an intense exchange, Greg shares his pursuit of 'the Baker'—a mystery man linked to his father's crimes, the threats received from inmates, and hiring Xander Gericke who sent another hacker, Tom—the recently murdered character in the story. Dirk advices Greg to inform his mother to contact him in case of any trouble and promises to alert Greg's father about the potential danger in prison. He compares Greg's escalating situation to the ancient Greek legend of the Gordian Knot—a complex problem needing an innovative solution. With this meeting, Greg Owen, despite his troubles, rejects the idea of quitting, understanding that his actions might be against a wall of complications, like the Gordian Knot.
