The
news
had
spread
like
Nero
s
fire
.
Rome
sat
riveted
,
as
did
the
rest
of
the
world
.
Langdon
wondered
if
they
would
really
be
able
to
stop
this
runaway
train
.
As
he
scanned
the
piazza
and
waited
,
Langdon
realized
that
despite
the
encroachment
of
modern
buildings
,
the
piazza
still
looked
remarkably
elliptical
.
High
above
,
like
some
sort
of
modern
shrine
to
a
bygone
hero
,
an
enormous
neon
sign
blinked
on
the
roof
of
a
luxurious
hotel
.
Vittoria
had
already
pointed
it
out
to
Langdon
.
The
sign
seemed
eerily
befitting
.
HOTEL
BERNINI
"
Five
of
ten
,
"
Vittoria
said
,
cat
eyes
darting
around
the
square
.
No
sooner
had
she
spoken
the
words
than
she
grabbed
Langdon
s
arm
and
pulled
him
back
into
the
shadows
.
She
motioned
into
the
center
of
the
square
.

Langdon
followed
her
gaze
.
When
he
saw
it
,
he
stiffened
.
Crossing
in
front
of
them
,
beneath
a
street
lamp
,
two
dark
figures
appeared
.
Both
were
cloaked
,
their
heads
covered
with
dark
mantles
,
the
traditional
black
covering
of
Catholic
widows
.
Langdon
would
have
guessed
they
were
women
,
but
he
couldn
t
be
sure
in
the
dark
.
One
looked
elderly
and
moved
as
if
in
pain
,
hunched
over
.
The
other
,
larger
and
stronger
,
was
helping
.
"
Give
me
the
gun
,
"
Vittoria
said
.

Fluid
as
a
cat
,
Vittoria
was
in
and
out
of
his
pocket
once
again
.
The
gun
glinted
in
her
hand
.
Then
,
in
absolute
silence
,
as
if
her
feet
never
touched
the
cobblestone
,
she
was
circling
left
in
the
shadows
,
arching
across
the
square
to
approach
the
couple
from
the
rear
.
Langdon
stood
transfixed
as
Vittoria
disappeared
.
Then
,
swearing
to
himself
,
he
hurried
after
her
.
The
couple
was
moving
slowly
,
and
it
was
only
a
matter
of
half
a
minute
before
Langdon
and
Vittoria
were
positioned
behind
them
,
closing
in
from
the
rear
.
Vittoria
concealed
the
gun
beneath
casually
crossed
arms
in
front
of
her
,
out
of
sight
but
accessible
in
a
flash
.
She
seemed
to
float
faster
and
faster
as
the
gap
lessened
,
and
Langdon
battled
to
keep
up
.
When
his
shoes
scuffed
a
stone
and
sent
it
skittering
,
Vittoria
shot
him
a
sideways
glare
.
But
the
couple
did
not
seem
to
hear
.
They
were
talking
.
