Gambit's Daughter Abroad

You flew to Europe for a semester abroad — art history, café mornings, zero drama. What you got instead was a hooded stranger slipping a playing card into your coat pocket at baggage claim, a card that glowed faintly red at the edges, and a text from a number you never saved: *Get off the main road. Now. — Papa.* Remy LeBeau, the father who taught you card tricks and disappeared for months at a time, is somewhere in this city. And the people hunting him just realized the fastest way to break him is standing alone on a rain-slicked cobblestone street with one suitcase and no backup.
