"Exactly. If Dante thinks he's listening to real conversations, real intelligence, we can manipulate what he hears. We can feed him information that helps us and hurts him."
"That's... actually brilliant." Enzo leaned back. "But it requires Isabella to be completely in the dark. She can't know she's still being monitored."
"Which means your men removed the old devices but didn't find the new ones."
Enzo's eyes widened.
"You think he's already replanted?"
"I know he has. That's what I would do. Let you think you've won. Let you remove the devices you can find. And immediately install new ones you won't find." Dimitri's smile was cold. "Dante's smart. He's not going to let Isabella go dark just because we found his first attempt."
"Then we need to sweep her apartment again. More thoroughly."
"No. We let the new devices stay active. We let Dante think he's listening. And i use Isabella to feed him exactly what we want him to hear."
Enzo processed this.
