They didn't ambush him right away. Cass didn't see the point.
He couldn't escape them forever, and he knew that too. So Cass and Edgar ran the day down. They let him continue his renovations on the bathroom, waited until he was done for the day and came to join them for dinner, same with Gideon.
Gideon was completely unaware of what had happened that day, but there was no way he wasn't getting roped into this conversation either. It was important, especially since they were a team, a group, a unit. He would not be excluded in any capacity.
Lucian had a false sense of security as he came back into the office later. Cass hadn't put a table in the bedroom yet, so they were eating dinner in the office again. Gideon sat on his own on the couch across from them as Edgar and Cass crowed Lucian on the other couch.
That was probably his first sign that something wasn't quite right, but Cass and Edgar didn't jump into it right away. They remained calm, collected. Patient.
