Because if she was dead, if The Covenant killed her, then she was gone forever. And Dante would never have the satisfaction of seeing Dimitri suffer because of the pain he had personally infilted on him. He'd never have the victory of proving his superiority. He'd never have the moment where Dimitri understood that he was the stronger man.

She'd just be dead.

And he would be left holding nothing but the knowledge that he'd been used. That he was a tool. That his personal vendetta had been hijac

    "No.""Are you going to tell him?""Not yet."Eve was quiet for a long moment. When she spoke, her voice was very soft."Why did he do it?""I don't know. I'm going to ask him.""When?""When she's stable. Not before." He rubbed his face with one hand. "If I go to him now, he'll tell me whatever he needs me to hear. I want to go in with the facts."Eve nodded slowly. She looked at his hand where it rested on the railing, at the white edges of his knuckles. He was holding on very tightly."Does anyone else know?" she asked. "That it's him?""Marco. Armani. Now you.""And Mike?""Mike knows I'm helping Dante. He built a false trail for me this morning, so that Dante's man would stop looking." Dimitri's mouth twisted. "He asked if you knew. I told him I'd tell you tonight.""So Mike knew before I did.""Yes.""Everyone knew before I did.""Eve....""I'm not angry about the secret," Eve said. She turned to face him fully. "I understand why you didn't tell me at dawn. I understand that you

    "Yes, Signore."He set the phone down and stood for a long time with his hand on the receiver.Someone had got to Armani. Not Dante, because Dante would have gone for the doctor himself, and Dante did not know where the doctor was. Someone quieter. Someone who had known where to look and what to take and how to leave very little behind.It was a short list. He did not care for the name at the top of it....The aide came back at nine that night.Antonio was at his desk with the lamp finally lit. He had not eaten."It's done," the aide said. "The courier is closed. Every registration was withdrawn by six. Armani's file has been removed from three registries, and the fourth is in progress. The Naples depot has been emptied. The stock is in the cold room at Frascati.""Good.""The safe log, Signore." He laid a second sheet on the desk. "There have been no unusual openings in the past year. The only entry outside the first of the month is this morning's. The code used was Armani's own.""

    "It will take a few hours.""You have a few hours." Antonio rose and went to the window. The olive grove stood very still in the late sun. "And the depot in Naples. Move what is in it. Not far. Somewhere we can reach.""Understood.""One more thing. I want to know who Luca has been speaking to. Everyone. Phones, meetings, favors he's called in.""That will be difficult.""I did not say it would be easy." Antonio turned from the window. "I said I wanted to know."The aide bowed his head slightly. "I'll begin now.""Go."When the door had closed, Antonio stayed standing at the window. His hands were clasped behind his back. His breathing was even.He allowed himself exactly one moment to think about the girl.She had been sixteen when it began. Pale and anxious, with a mother who watched her too closely and a father who had gone looking for help. Antonio had seen the opening and taken it. It had seemed, at the time, like a small and necessary thing, a thread to hold. He had never intend

    "Then who?""I don't know. Not yet. But I'm going to find out."She was quiet for a time. Her breathing slowed."You're still not telling me everything," she said."No.""Why?""Because you can't stand up yet, and I'd rather you were standing when I do." He pulled back far enough to look at her. "I will tell you. I won't keep it from you for long. I swear that."She searched his face. It was a tired face, an honest one. He hadn't tried to soften what he'd said or dress it up as anything else."Is it dangerous?" she asked. "What you're not telling me?""Not for you.""For you?"He didn't answer."That's what I thought," she said softly.She lay back against the pillow. The window had gone from gray to pale gold. Somewhere outside, a bird started up, thin and clear."The medicine you gave me," she said. "Will I need it again?""Yes. For a while. A doctor will bring you down slowly. Weeks, maybe. Until it's out of you.""And then?""And then you're free of it."She nodded slowly. She was

    Dante carried her to the bedroom. He laid her on the bed with her head turned to the side and pulled the blanket up over her shoulders. Then he pulled a chair up beside the bed and sat in it, and put his hand over hers.He did not look away from her face for the next two hours....Luca arrived at one thirty-four.Dante heard the car on the gravel and was at the door before the engine cut. Luca came up the steps fast, a plain black bag in one hand. He stopped when he saw Dante's face."She seized," Dante said.Luca closed his eyes briefly. "How long?""Under two minutes. It's over.""Is she....""She's breathing. She hasn't woken." Dante held out his hand. "Give it to me."Luca gave him the bag. "The drop was clean. A locker at a rail station. Nobody followed me. Nobody saw me.""Did you see who left it?" Dante asked. "No. It was already there." Luca hesitated. "Boss, the bottles. Nothing on them. No label, no seal, no lot number. Whoever packed these knew how to leave nothing.""Yes

    "Weight?""I don't know. Light.""Is she able to swallow?""She drinks a little.""Pulse?"Dante crossed the room and knelt beside the couch. He took her wrist and counted against the clock on his phone. "Fast. A hundred and twenty. More.""Her breathing?""Shallow.""Listen to me carefully," the doctor said. "The medicine won't reach her for some hours. Between now and then, there is a real chance she'll have a seizure. If she does, this is what you do. You move anything hard away from her. You put something soft under her head. You turn her onto her side. You put nothing in her mouth. You do not hold her down. And you time it.""Understood." Dante said. "If it runs past five minutes, or comes back, you call an ambulance. I don't care who you are or who is looking for you. Do you understand that?"Dante looked at Isabella's face, gray against the cushion."Yes," he said."Good. I'll stay on the line.""She hasn't had one yet.""I know," the doctor said. "Stay on the line anyway."..
