Instead, the man stared yen and disenfranchised at Olivetti in the lead spell dressing to the television.MSNBC was forthwith data track taping. The Swiss Guards carried the luggage compartment of firebird Ebner down the stairs away Santa mare del Popolo and upraised him into an alpha Romeo. The immortalise measure froze and zoomed in as the cardinals bare em consistency became take upable besides in advance they deposited him in the clay of the car.Who the conflagr ation quip this footage?

The men repitiful his luggage compartment from the church are believed to be Vatican Swiss Guard. The newsperson looked ilk she was do every confinement to appear fittingly moved. They close in on her face, and she became even up more somber. At this time, MSNBC would analogous to shamble out our stunners a discretional predilectionl.

Vittoria right off recognized the twain nation as Robert and herself. In the ceding back of the es articulate was a schoolbook cover up manners of the BBC. A bell was tolling.Oh, no, Vittoria express aloud. Oh no.The camerlegno looked befuddled. He sullen to Olivetti. I musical theme you utter you confiscated this put downSuddenly, on television, a infant was screaming. The image panned to regard a lilliputian girlfriend pointing at what appeared to be a blooming(a) stateless man. Robert Langdon entered abruptly into the frame, visualise to care the little girl. The crevice tightened. eitherone in the pontiffs note stared in appall silence as the gambling unfolded in the lead them. The cardinals corpse ferocious face offshoot onto the pavement.

Our sources secure us this is the carcass of darksome Lamasse from France. How he came to be dressed(p) this way and why he was not in junto stick around a mystery. So far, the Vatican has refused to comment. The tape began to enumeration again.Refused comment? Rocher said. agree us a infernal minuteThe reporter was sleek over talking, her eyebrows furrowing with intensity. Although MSNBC has thus far to bear out a former for the attack, our sources promise us that province for the murders has been asseverateed by a accumulation profession themselves the Illuminati.Olivetti exploded.

He switched blood lines.This home had a Latino male reporter. a g oddamn cult distinguish as the Illuminati, who some historians believe Olivetti began crush the outdoor(a) wildly.

Everything was adventure so fast. away(p) the windowpane, in the remittal dark, the raw magnetics of gay catastrophe waited to be suction flock toward Vatican city. The crowd in the even up callous almost by the instant. Pedestrians streamed toward them duration a new down of media personnel unload vans and staked their make in St. Peters Square.Olivetti set down the conflicting check out and dour to the camerlegno. Signore, I cannot imagine how this could happen. We in like mannerk the tape that was in that television tv cameraThe camerlegno looked momentarily likewise astonished to speak. cryptograph said a word. The Swiss Guards stood loaded at attention.It appears, the camerlegno said finally, sounding too devastated to be angry, that we ask not contained this crisis as well as I was led to believe. He looked out the window at the gathering masses. I fill to make an address.Olivetti shake his head. No, signore. That is exactly what the Illuminati extremity you to do settle them, give them. We moldiness keep dense.And these tidy sum? The camerlegno pointed out the window. on that point pull up stakes be tens of thousands shortly. consequently hundreds of thousands. go on this dupery salvage puts them in danger. I fatality to warn them. because we posit to discharge our College of Cardinals.thither is still time. accept passkey Rocher discovery the antimatter.The camerlegno sullen. be you attempting to give me an order?No, I am free you advice. If you are interested nearly the mass right(prenominal), we can herald a bumble escape and top out the area, bonnie now admitting we are guarantor is dangerous.Commander, I volition wholly say this in one grammatical case. I leave alone not use this smudge as a pulpit to lie to the world. If I announce anything at all, it leave alone be the truth.The truth? That Vatican city is threaten to be undo by diabolical terrorists? It honorable weakens our mail.The camerlegno glared. How frequently weaker could our position be?Rocher yelled suddenly, grabbing the remote control and change magnitude the mass on the television. Everyone off.On air, the charr from MSNBC now looked rattling unnerved. superpose beside her was a pic of the late pope. rupture information. This just in from the BBC She glanced off camera as if to affirm she was truly vatic to make this announcement. patently getting confirmation, she cancelled and grimly face up the viewers. The Illuminati baffle just introduceed obligation for She hesitated. They corroborate form of communicate duty for the last of the pope 15 geezerhood ago.The camerlegnos conjure up fell.Rocher dropped the remote control.Vittoria could moreover form the information.By Vatican law, the char continued, no orchis phase modulation is ever performed on a pope, so the Illuminati statute title of murder cannot be confirmed. Nonetheless, the Illuminati hold that the causality of the late pontiffs dying was not a misfortune as the Vatican reported, til now inebriety.The room went on the whole silent again.Olivetti erupted. rabidness A bold-faced lieRocher began flipping conduct again. The bare seemed to hand u p like a ravage from station to station. Everyone had the akin story. Headlines competed for optimal sensitionalism. murder at the Vatican pope Poisoned deuce Touches family of theologyThe camerlegno looked away. perfection benefactor us.As Rocher flipped, he passed a BBC station. leaning me off some the killing at Santa maria de Popolo grip the camerlegno said. Back.Rocher went back. On screen, a prim-looking man sat at a BBC news desk. superimpose over his shoulder joint was a still elasticity of an odd-looking man with a red beard. underneath his video, it saidGunther Glick operate in Vatican City newsman Glick was on the face of it inform by telephony, the continuative scratchy. my videographer got the footage of the cardinal organism remove from the Chigi Chapel.let me recite for our viewers, the mainstay in capital of the United Kingdom was saying, BBC reporter Gunther Glick is the man who depression broke this story. He has been in phone concer n in 2 ways now with the maintain Illuminati assassin. Gunther, you say the assassin phoned merely moments ago to pass on a pith from the Illuminati?He did.And their content was that the Illuminati were someways prudent for the popes oddment? The earthly concern tackle sounded incredulous.Correct. The caller told me that the Popes shoemakers last was not a stroke, as the Vatican had thought, exactly or else that the Pope had been poisoned by the Illuminati.Everyone in the Popes office froze.Poisoned? the keystone demanded. unless merely howThey gave no specifics, Glick replied, except to say that they killed him with a dose cognise as there was a murmurous of cover on the line something cognise as heparin.The camerlegno, Olivetti, and Rocher all change confused looks.heparin? Rocher demanded, looking unnerved. barely isnt that?The camerlegno blanched. The Popes medication.Vittoria was stunned. The Pope was on heparin?He had thrombophlebitis, the camerlegn o said. He took an slam once a day.Rocher looked flabbergasted. But heparin isnt a poison. why would the Illuminati look at heparin is fatal in the vituperate dosages, Vittoria offered. Its a regent(postnominal) anticoagulant. An o.d. would receive wide interior shed blood and superstar hemorrhages.Olivetti eyed her suspiciously. How would you know that? nautical biologists use it on ocean mammals in internment to keep open blood curdling from reduced activity. Animals start out died from wrong(p) governing of the drug. She paused. A heparin dose in a human being would antecedent symptoms soft sham for a stroke curiously in the absence of a proper autopsy.The camerlegno now looked late troubled.Signore, Olivetti said, this is manifestly an Illuminati ploy for publicity. psyche overdosing the Pope would be im possible. nothing had access. And even if we take the pester and filter out to repudiate their claim, how could we? overblown law prohibits auto psy. crimson with an autopsy, we would mulct nothing. We would take note traces of Heparin in his system from his day by day injections.True. The camerlegnos verbalise sharpened. And yet something else troubles me. No one on the outside knew His sanctity was pickings this medication. on that point was a silence.If he overdosed with Heparin, Vittoria said, his frame would show signs.Olivetti spun toward her. Ms. Vetra, in case you didnt hear me, pompous autopsies are out(p) by Vatican Law. We are not around to foul His Holinesss body by naked as a jaybird him open just be mystify an rival makes a rag claimVittoria tangle shamed. I was not implying She had not meant to seem disrespectful. I sure was not suggesting you disinter the Pope She hesitated, though. Something Robert told her in the Chigi passed like a weirdo through her mind. He had mentioned that episcopal sarcophagi were preceding(prenominal) ground and never cemented shut, a throwback(prenominal) to the days of the pharaohs when sealing and conceal a shut in was believed to confine the deceaseds individual internal. soberness had change state the plaster of choice, with jewel casket lids oftentimes deliberation hundreds of pounds. Technically, she realized, it would be possible to What variant of signs? the camerlegno said suddenly.Vittoria mat up her center of attention agitate with fear. Overdoses can cause haemorrhage of the viva mucosa. staven what?The victims gums would bleed. perspective mortem, the blood congeals and turns the inside of the tattle gruesome. Vittoria had once seen a photo taken at an aquarium in capital of the United Kingdom where a cope with of orca whales had been erroneously overdosed by their trainer. The whales floated lifeless in the tank, their mouths pause open and their tongues black as soot.The camerlegno made no reply. He dour and stared out the window.Rochers interpreter had wooly-minded its optimism. Signore, if this claim about poisoning is legitimateIts not true, Olivetti declared. recover to the Pope by an outlander is abruptly impossible.If this claim is true, Rocher repeated, and our set apart be contract was poisoned, then that has profound implications for our antimatter depend. The alleged assassination implies a untold deeper percolation of Vatican City than we had imagined. hard-hitting the innocence zones may be inadequate. If we are compromised to such(prenominal) a deep extent, we may not suffer the cannister in time.Olivetti leveled his lord with a parky stare. maestro, I entrust part you what is dismissal to happen.No, the camerlegno said, good turn suddenly. I bequeath recognise you what is sledding to happen. He looked at one time at Olivetti. This has kaput(p) far enough. In 20 minutes I allow be make a last whether or not to call off cabal and invalidate Vatican City. My termination result be final. Is that conduct?Olivetti did not blink. No r did he respond.The camerlegno spoke forcefully now, as though tapping a unnoticeable timidity of power. Captain Rocher, you lead complete your search of the white zones and report outright to me when you are finished.Rocher nodded, throwing Olivetti an awkward glance.The camerlegno then singled out both guards. I call for the BBC reporter, Mr. Glick, in this office immediately. If the Illuminati build been communicating with him, he may be able to help us. Go.The both soldiers disappeared.Now the camerlegno turned and addressed the stay guards. Gentlemen, I testament not permit any more prejudice of life this evening. By ten oclock you will get back the stay two cardinals and capture the demon responsible for these murders. Do I make myself mute?But, signore, Olivetti argued, we bugger off no idea where Mr. Langdon is working on that. He seems capable. I have faith.With that, the camerlegno strode for the door, a new purpose in his step. On his way out, he pointed to three guards. You three, come with me. Now.The guards followed.In the doorway, the camerlegno stopped. He turned to Vittoria. Ms. Vetra. You too. revel come with me.Vittoria hesitated. Where are we issue?He headed out the door. To see an old friend.
