After we found the listening device, everything about Camilla's moves finally made sense.
The room felt tighter, heavier, like the air itself was warning us not to relax. From that moment on, it didn't matter whether Julain was involved or not. Anyone could be used. Any loose end could turn into a blade aimed at my back.
We couldn't afford mistakes.
Lewis gave Theo a quiet nod, the kind that carried authority without a single raised word.
"Handle it," he said.
"I will," Theo replied, already moving.
Less than ten minutes later, Julain was escorted into the room.
Just as we suspected, Camilla hadn't stopped with me. A device had been hidden inside his coat as well, tucked so neatly it would've escaped anyone who wasn't looking for it.
I felt a chill crawl up my spine. Thankfully, Julain and I hadn't spoken at all on the way here. If we had, everything would have unraveled long before now.
