My teacher, Robert Langdon, and his friend, Vittoria, was busy talking to the cardinals about the Camerlengo poisoning the Pope. No one could find him. I ran down the hallways of the Vatican, searching for the Camerlengo. Ever since he had that heroic fall, 20 minutes ago, he became missing. Did he really do it? I decided to look for him. Where could he be? I thought.
I looked everywhere. Excluding the places that were not open to public. I had no choice but to go there. I saw a staircase - lit by 99 oil lamps that had a fragrant smell but could cause fire. I suddenly heard a voice that was talking to his father...
I ran. The voice slowly became louder. I heard glass shatter onto the floor. It was an oil lamp. Fire started to go off everywhere.
' This is the end for me, Father. I shall be with you now.' The voice said.
I ran over to a fire extinguisher. Thank goodness I found one. I yanked it off the wall and ran towards the burning man.
His burning black cassock caught my eye. It was the Camerlengo. His body fell to the floor.
I was horrified.
