When Marcellus thought of this whole kidnapping, he expected that Winter would at least be fazed.
Sure, it was not a full-blown one, and it was a last-minute plan. His timing may not even good for the kind of scenario he wanted to make here, considering that she would definitely have an idea who was behind it. He might even appear petty for conducting such an underhanded scheme to a highschooler who had nothing she could use against him.
There was that video that she took back in the haunted house, which she used to blackmail him. However, he realized that such a threat would not be enough to force him to dance on the palm of her hand. Then again, he had all the power to do some damage control and manage the aftermath if it were to get released in public.
Therefore, Winter is nothing at all.
To Marcellus, she is only a mere source of information and an extraneous variable in his plan.
