The
cardinals
would
not
be
released
until
they
decided
who
among
them
would
be
the
next
Pope
.
Conclave
.
Even
the
name
was
secretive
.
"
Con
clave
"
literally
meant
"
locked
with
a
key
.
"
The
cardinals
were
permitted
no
contact
whatsoever
with
the
outside
world
.
No
phone
calls
.
No
messages
.
No
whispers
through
doorways
.
Conclave
was
a
vacuum
,
not
to
be
influenced
by
anything
in
the
outside
world
.
This
would
ensure
that
the
cardinals
kept
Solum
Dum
prae
oculis
…
only
God
before
their
eyes
.
Outside
the
walls
of
the
chapel
,
of
course
,
the
media
watched
and
waited
,
speculating
as
to
which
of
the
cardinals
would
become
the
ruler
of
one
billion
Catholics
worldwide
.
Conclaves
created
an
intense
,
politically
charged
atmosphere
,
and
over
the
centuries
they
had
turned
deadly
:
poisonings
,
fist
fights
,
and
even
murder
had
erupted
within
the
sacred
walls
.
Ancient
history
,
Mortati
thought
.
Tonight
’
s
conclave
will
be
unified
,
blissful
,
and
above
all
…
brief
.
Or
at
least
that
had
been
his
speculation
.
Now
,
however
,
an
unexpected
development
had
emerged
.
Mystifyingly
,
four
cardinals
were
absent
from
the
chapel
.
Mortati
knew
that
all
the
exits
to
Vatican
City
were
guarded
,
and
the
missing
cardinals
could
not
have
gone
far
,
but
still
,
with
less
than
an
hour
before
opening
prayer
,
he
was
feeling
disconcerted
.
After
all
,
the
four
missing
men
were
no
ordinary
cardinals
.
They
were
the
cardinals
.
The
chosen
four
.
As
overseer
of
the
conclave
,
Mortati
had
already
sent
word
through
the
proper
channels
to
the
Swiss
Guard
alerting
them
to
the
cardinals
’
absence
.
He
had
yet
to
hear
back
.
Other
cardinals
had
now
noticed
the
puzzling
absence
The
anxious
whispers
had
begun
.
Of
all
cardinals
,
these
four
should
be
on
time
!
Cardinal
Mortati
was
starting
to
fear
it
might
be
a
long
evening
after
all
.
He
had
no
idea
.
The
Vatican
’
s
helipad
,
for
reasons
of
safety
and
noise
control
,
is
located
in
the
northwest
tip
of
Vatican
City
,
as
far
from
St
.
Peter
’
s
Basilica
as
possible
.
