On
both
sides
of
him
now
,
like
a
gauntlet
of
escorts
,
a
procession
of
Bernini
angels
whipped
past
,
funneling
him
toward
his
final
destination
.
Let
angels
guide
you
on
your
lofty
quest
.
The
castle
seemed
to
rise
as
he
advanced
,
an
unscalable
peak
,
more
intimidating
to
him
even
than
St
.
Peter
’
s
.
He
sprinted
toward
the
bastion
,
running
on
fumes
,
gazing
upward
at
the
citadel
’
s
circular
core
as
it
shot
skyward
to
a
gargantuan
,
sword
-
wielding
angel
.
The
castle
appeared
deserted
.
Langdon
knew
through
the
centuries
the
building
had
been
used
by
the
Vatican
as
a
tomb
,
a
fortress
,
a
papal
hideout
,
a
prison
for
enemies
of
the
church
,
and
a
museum
.
Apparently
,
the
castle
had
other
tenants
as
well
—
the
Illuminati
.
Somehow
it
made
eerie
sense
.
Although
the
castle
was
property
of
the
Vatican
,
it
was
used
only
sporadically
,
and
Bernini
had
made
numerous
renovations
to
it
over
the
years
.
The
building
was
now
rumored
to
be
honeycombed
with
secret
entries
,
passageways
,
and
hidden
chambers
.
Langdon
had
little
doubt
that
the
angel
and
surrounding
pentagonal
park
were
Bernini
’
s
doing
as
well
.
Arriving
at
the
castle
’
s
elephantine
double
doors
,
Langdon
shoved
them
hard
.
Not
surprisingly
,
they
were
immovable
.
Two
iron
knockers
hung
at
eye
level
.
Langdon
didn
’
t
bother
.
He
stepped
back
,
his
eyes
climbing
the
sheer
outer
wall
.
These
ramparts
had
fended
off
armies
of
Berbers
,
heathens
,
and
Moors
.
Somehow
he
sensed
his
chances
of
breaking
in
were
slim
.
Vittoria
,
Langdon
thought
.
Are
you
in
there
?
Langdon
hurried
around
the
outer
wall
.
There
must
be
another
entrance
!
Rounding
the
second
bulwark
to
the
west
,
Langdon
arrived
breathless
in
a
small
parking
area
off
Lungotere
Angelo
.
On
this
wall
he
found
a
second
castle
entrance
,
a
drawbridge
-
type
ingress
,
raised
and
sealed
shut
.
Langdon
gazed
upward
again
.
The
only
lights
on
the
castle
were
exterior
floods
illuminating
the
façade
.
All
the
tiny
windows
inside
seemed
black
.
Langdon
’
s
eyes
climbed
higher
.
At
the
very
peak
of
the
central
tower
,
a
hundred
feet
above
,
directly
beneath
the
angel
’
s
sword
,
a
single
balcony
protruded
.
The
marble
parapet
seemed
to
shimmer
slightly
,
as
if
the
room
beyond
it
were
aglow
with
torchlight
.
Langdon
paused
,
his
soaked
body
shivering
suddenly
.
A
shadow
?
He
waited
,
straining
.
Then
he
saw
it
again
.
His
spine
prickled
.
Someone
is
up
there
!
"
Vittoria
!
"
he
called
out
,
unable
to
help
himself
,
but
his
voice
was
swallowed
by
the
raging
Tiber
behind
him
.
He
wheeled
in
circles
,
wondering
where
the
hell
the
Swiss
Guard
were
.
Had
they
even
heard
his
transmission
?
