It's not like Nikko isn't used to sudden, radical changes in her life. Her mother was taken by some strange white light before Nikko had even hit puperty, for Pete's sake. It couldn't get much weirder than that, right?
Wrong. Because one minute she's being kicked out of yet anther boarding school, her bitchin' tricked out Blair Waldorf-ish uniform sadly left behind as her father totes her off to his, gah Taurus station wagon and the next thing she knows, her dad is a weird mix of uber-Dad, the Transporter and Batman.
Talk about disconcerting.
She spends the plane ride to Paris alternately sneaking glances at her father (too busy with his Top Secret file folders to even pay attention to the fact that his teenage daughter is distraught, in denail, and currently getting her ass beaten soundly by Vincent in chess), that Calvin guy (who's cute in a way she can't describe, and the waves of geekery and immediate jealousy and exasperation toward Nikko just make her all the mor inquisitive), and Vincent (who oddly feels like an uncle she never had, and isn't letting her cheat one bit).
