Novalie nods, coming back to her senses as she slows her breathing to calm down.

Standing, she listens to  his voice promising to take her out of this mission. As he speaks, John Wick enters the room.

The weight Novalie was experiencing blankets her. Chidi tries moving her out of there.

"Let's go." He pushes her toward the garden, taking the phone and telling Vincent not to worry.

As they reach a path, Nova orders him to find Caine, promising to make her way to the exit when he goes to protest.

Stumbling through the garden for a while, cutting down the random staff attacking her as she does so, she sees an opening.

Walking to it, she sees a man trying to catch his breath. Her father. She stops in the trees, unable to do much else.
This man. He abandoned her with The Ruska Roma, that much she could tell on her own. She thinks she knows deep down why he did it, but why didn't he take a deal then? Or did he?

He waited until he had a wife to get out, so Nova wasn't enough reason for him to leave. May be he didn't love the woman he made her with, so in turn he didn't love Nova?

Once again, she watches as he's attacked, of course beating whoever tried to get close.

Vincent's pin with their symbol catches his eye, and he takes it off of one of the bodies, putting it in his pocket.

Suddenly, a dog comes up behind one of the men from the team of assassins they hired as he runs toward John. Nova observes the man that creeps out of the bushes, he doesn't make an attempt to kill him like she had expected.

As he looks at the price of John Wick's head, Nova understands why. He wants more money for him. So he'll keep him safe until the price suits his fancy.

How odd, this man seems to have been tracking him-

"You a tracker?" Her thoughts freeze as her father asks the question aloud. Their conversation goes on until John finally stumbles his way through the garden.

Novalie presses on her comm system, signaling her location to Chidi. The man watches with a tilted head as his dog tears apart a man she attacked earlier.

Nova whistles and walks out into the open area, the guy, obviously startled, points his gun at her.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you, kid." She says as Chidi shows up with her men, guns pointed at him. He puts his gun away slowly, and Nova signals everyone else to do the same.

"Who are you?" He asks. She approaches him with her arm extended, and he takes the metal business card she offers him.

"The Marchioness Novalie Bisset De Gramont Summons you to Paris. I have a potential job for you." She says, turning and leaving the garden, finally getting out of that place.

After the night she had, she needs to go straight home.

"Get a plane ready." Chidi immediately obliges her demand.
