Part 6 of the The Gambit/Anole Collection
He was exhausted.
Training had been harder than usual and now all the green skinned teen wanted to do was sleep.
Tossing his shirt onto his desk chair, Vic flipped on his lamp as he slumped onto the edge of his bed. As he was about to slump onto his pillow, he noticed an envelope resting there.
His eyes widened just a tad as he realized what was scrawled on the smooth white surface.
Mon Petit Vert.
With shaky hands, Victor slowly picked the envelope up and opened it.
Inside was a playing card.
A Jack of Hearts.
Victor wasn’t sure why but his heart skipped a bit and he fell backwards onto his bed, the card clutched to his chest.
