The Lost Symbol ( Part - I) 🔱

Chapter-7

Pointing toward the gate of Custody room Jeremy Said ," Open them".

Shutter was lifting up and the sound was  loud enough to irritate everyone.

It was nothing but a room full of smell of shit as it has toilet in the same room and no such thing as water. In the very heinous crimes just custody jails were given during war to the prisoners of war. 

A men lying with his knees close to his face , trembling with cold .

" Is that Steve ?" asked professor Langdon. 

" Yes it's him " replied Jeremy.

As the Professor tried to get closer to the Jail room he couldn't even breathe because of the smell inside. 

"I need to talk to him officer, but this is not helping at all. Can you please bring him out? " Prof

" I am afraid , I can't sir " Jeremy replied.

Prof turned to Sophie and tried to be as slow as possible and said " Looks like he doesn't want this conversation to happen."

"If you excused us officers can we talk to him in private ?" Prof.

Jeremy left the room but he stood up near where he could see what they are talking. 

" Mr. Steve can we talk ?" prof

Steve looked at him and tried to recognise him. But when he couldn't , he refused. 

"Mr. Steve we can be helpful , can you please trust us ?" again Prof.

This time Steve replied as he was interested himself.

"What you want and who are you ?" "Are you another cop?" Steve asked.

" Sir my name is Professor Langdon and I am a symbologist and along with me my good friend Madam Neveu. " Replied Professor.

"Symbologist ?" " So do you know about the Symbol James was talking?" Steve asked with eyes wide open because this conversation was only within him and James.

Now the professor was even more surprised as he had no clue that he was gonna hearing about some symbol.

"What symbol are we talking here ?" "I was here to know that why they arrested you and who were those persons who attacked you and where is your brother James" Professor was asking questions on questions.

"Prof everyday he used to tell me that he had saw a dream and this dream gave him a reaction code which when looked with not scientific angle , it looks like a word or a shape or let's call a symbol", replied Steve.

"Do you have this Symbol ?" . " Can I see it ?" Professor was curious. 

"Actually that day he was showing me his reaction results which according to him looks like a word or kinda symbol but then that incident took place and now I don't remember it ," Steve.

"But I remember he also wrote it down in his work diary which is at our home. So if you want it then you can get into our house and then try to find my brother . I Know  he is in trouble. You are the last hope as i can only trust you ," Steve.

"I will try my best to help finding your brother ," professor said by tapping his shoulder.

They came out as Jeremy looked at them as they have found something.

" So miss Sophie, was that helpful ?" asked Jeremy.

"Yes, thank you without your help it wouldn't be possible " replied Sophie. 

"You are always welcome to ask for any help again madam," Jeremy was trying to be extra polite.

Sophie and Professor left the custody room. They  headed toward taxi as  they were in very hurry.
