An Angel's Redemption

The Truth Be Told (Part 2)

~ Sophie/Pip's POV ~

My heart was pounding wildly. Onlookers casted curious glances at me as I walked towards the University. To my horror, I saw a car zooming towards me at top speed. My eyes widened as I saw who just stepped out of the car. It was Mr. Robert Langdon.
' Allison, come with me. '
' Why did you have to make a fiasco here? '
' It wasn't me. It was the Vatican. '
' Oh. Where are you gonna take me then, Robert? '
' To the Vatican. They request your presence. '
' Okay. '
Without hesitation, I boarded the car to go to the Vatican. I stuck my face on the car window longingly. As the car drove pass the dark alley, I eyed Thomas and Pat-Car. Patrick spotted me and ran towards the car. I put my hand on the window. Tears trickled down my face. Robert sat on the seat next to the driver's seat. It was so quiet inside the car that the sound of my tears trickling down my face and then hit the window could be heard. I pushed a button that lowered the car window.
' PATRICK, I'LL BE BACK I PROMISE! ' I shouted from the car.
Robert looked at me, confused.

~ Pat-Car/Patrick's POV ~

After what seemed like eternity, I stopped praying. As I looked towards the road, a car drove pass. I eyed the person that sat on the back seat. Pip. Thats Pip! I ran towards the street, not bothering to tell Thomas.
' PATRICK, I'LL BE BACK! I PROMISE! ' She screamed.
' PIP! ' I screamed back.
Just hearing her voice made me smile. Be safe, Pip.
Thomas ran up behind me.

' Was that Sophie? IN THE CAR?! '
' Yeah. '
' Why is she in there? '
' I have no idea. I think she's heading to where I think she is. The Vatican... '
    ' Should we follow her, Patrick? '
    ' We should, Thomas. '

~ Sophie/Pip's POV ~

  Robert's eyes widened as he saw tears trickling down my face. I eyed him and a smile momentarily appeared on my face.
   ' This Patrick guy is your boyfriend? '
   ' No, he isn't. '
   ' Sure about that? '
   ' Definitely. '

    Robert changed the subject.
   ' The Vatican finds you suspicious, Allison. Tell me, do you know where the Camerlengo is hiding? '
   ' We've already talked about this, Robert. I don't- '
   ' I know you do. ' He cut me off.
   ' Can we not talk about it right now? I wanna rest for awhile. '
   ' Okay, then. '
  I rest my head on the window. Thoughts and questions clouded my mind. Am I doing the right thing? Is it the right time to tell the truth? Father, help me...please. I sighed.

  ~ Thomas's POV ~

   I have nothing to say about this situation. I owe Sophie a lot for helping me when I was in need. Especially when my father died, she cheered me up. She was the closest thing I have to a sister. Patrick seemed very worried. He'd be walking back and forth with his hands on his forehead. We decided to go to the Vatican but before that, we went back to see how was Nicole.

~ Pat-Car/Patrick's POV ~

We rode a taxi back to Thomas' house. He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard spontaneous laughter from the inside. He opened the door and it revealed Obi licking licking Nicole on the face.
' Obi, stop it girl. Haha. ' I said.
Obi stopped and ran towards me. I patted her head and carried her. She was growing bigger and bigger.
' By the way, I just fed him so he's very full. Hahaha. ' Nicole added.
' Thank you, Nicole. '
Thomas cut in.
' Nicole, what did they say? '
' They asked me about Allison; her whereabouts and who she lived with. I mentioned Patrick and of course I didn't say that he was the Camerlengo. Heh. '
    ' Nice job. We'll leave you here with Obi for now. We have to go to the Vatican because, ' Thomas looked at me. ' Allison is there...and she's gonna tell the truth. Patrick wants to be there when she does. '
     ' Okay. You guys stay safe. I think you should go now. She's probably near the Vatican already. Good luck guys. '
     ' Thank you, Nicole. ' I thanked her.

    We boarded Thomas' car. He pushed on the accelerator and drove at the speed of light. He drove recklessly but none of us cared. No policemen were around so, why not? We'll be there for you, Pip. Just wait. I took out my phone and messaged Pip.

    Me: Pip, don't tell the truth yet. I'm coming.
    Pip: WHAT?!?! LIKE RIGHT NOW?!
    Me: Yes. I'm not gonna let you say it alone. We're gonna say it together, okay? Where are you now?
    Pip:  Okay. I won't argue. We're near like a few minutes away from the Vatican.
    Me: Remember what I said, okay Pip?
    Pip: Okay, boss. :)
  
    ' Thomas, I just messaged Pip. They're near the Vatican. '
    ' That means I should go faster, right? Challenge accepted. '
    ' Hahaha. Okay, lets go!! ' I beamed.
    Thomas drove as fast as an F1 driver. My heart pounded wildly as he drove.
I hope we won't die from this...

~ Pip/Sophie's POV ~

    I kept my mouth shut for the rest of the journey. I really had nothing to say. I was so worried about Patrick that my mind was clouded with questions about what might happen and what I could to help the both of us in this situation. Help me, Father.
     The driver swerve from left to right, recklessly. My heart pounded wildly.
     ' Allison, calm down. We won't die. '
     ' Okay. '
    I was still robbed for words. As we drew near the Vatican, I looked around me. The whole place was swarmed with policemen. Do they really have to have a lot of policemen around? Just to look for one person?
     ' We're here. Get down. '
    My lips parted but no words came out. I exited the car. Onlookers cast curious glances at me as I walked towards the entrance to the Vatican. Patrick...where are you? Come here...now...please.

  ~ Patrick/Pat-Car's POV ~

  ' ARE WE THERE YET?! '
  ' WE'RE HERE. CALM DOWN, PATRICK. '
  ' Sorry. I'm just worried. '
  ' I understand. Put on this jacket so no one would recognize you. '
  ' The whole place...is swarmed with policemen. Where could Pip be..? '
' THERE SHE IS! '
I eyed the entrance of the Vatican. Pip...THATS HER! I ran towards the entrance. A few guards came up to me and stopped me.
  ' Where do you think you're going? '
  ' My friend is there. I'm with her. '
  ' Oh...okay. You may go. '

  Thank goodness. Thomas ran up behind me, catching up with my pace. Wait for me, Pip. I ran through the crowd. As I came closer, I stopped. I did not want to reveal myself...not now.

  ~ Pip/Sophie's POV ~

  Patrick...where are you?
   I looked behind me. My eyes widened. I burst into tears of joy and relief as I saw his face. Thank goodness, you're here. I smiled and waved and he did the same. I slowly backed away from Robert, heading for Patrick. As I drew near him, he opened his arms, asking for a hug. I ran to him and hugged him tight. Robert turned around to face us and onlookers casted curious glances at us.
   ' I'm here...for you. '
   ' Thank you...Patrick. ' I replied, wiping my tears away.
  I let go of Patrick and turned to face Thomas. ' Thank you very much...Thomas. '

Robert came up behind me and held my arm. ' Let's go. '
He pulled me towards the entrance. Thomas and Patrick followed behind us. 
  ' I can walk. Stop pulling me. '
  Robert did not stop.
  ' Stop pulling her. You're hurting her, Robert. ' Patrick insisted. I looked at him and smiled and he smiled back. I mouthed the words ' thank you '.
   Robert turned around and faced me.
   ' Okay. Don't run from me. '
   I rolled my eyes.
 
   When Robert and I entered the old office of the former chamberlain, the guards immediately closed the door, not letting Patrick and Thomas enter. Plan is not going well...shit.
  
~ Pat-Car/Patrick's POV ~

Shit.
I turned to face Thomas who laid his head against the wall.
   ' What are we going to do? ' I whispered, not letting the guards hear.
   ' When you hear them talking about you, enter the room and help...Allison tell the truth. '
   ' Okay. '
    I could hear voices from the inside of the office. It has been a week since I have set my foot in it. I wonder how they'll react when they find out that the former chamberlain is waiting outside his old office. I sighed.
     The time has come.
