Read by Troy Lambert

Jack didn't expect the end of his trust to come wrapped in elegant deception, or that a golden ring might hold the key to his future. Exhausted and haunted by his own scars, Jack is led into a hotel room by the enigmatic Yuko, where a relic from his past sits waiting - Joseph, an old ally steeped in secrecy. Promises of healing and a return to normalcy dangle like a whiskey-soaked mirage, but nothing in Jack's tangled world comes without a price. As the intricate web of the Solitaire organization unfolds, every card in Jack's hand - from his father's cryptic legacy to a deadly game of hidden treasures - becomes a matter of survival. Amidst hazel-eyed deals and whispers of treacherous decks, Jack is offered a Faustian bargain: the chance to rewrite his shattered body, but at a cost that could strip him of the last ties to his storied past. In this gripping episode, loyalty blurs and shadows deepen, driving Jack to the most secretive corners of Nevada, where the stakes are not just his scars, but the very essence of who he is - or who he might become. With a crafty ally, a mysterious surgeon, and the ever-loyal Boris by his side, Jack sets out to say farewell to the man he knows in hopes of becoming something more… or risk losing everything he can't afford to bet. Listen to "The Three of Diamonds" and dive into a world where every drink is a wager, every conversation a gamble, and every choice could be your last
