"Simon, it's done," Owen said as soon as his friend answered. "I managed to plant the bug in my uncle's mansion and his car. We should be able to listen in on his conversations now."

Simon's voice crackled with excitement. "That's incredible, Owen! We might finally get to the bottom of this."

Owen nodded, his mind racing with possibilities. "I'm counting on it. Let's just hope we find something worthwhile."
