Renowned curator JA CQUES SAUNEI ERE (1) staggered through the vaulted archway
of the museum's Grand Gallery. He LUNGED (2) for the nearest painting he could see, a
Carravagio. Grabbing the gilded frame, the seventy-three-year-old man heaved the
masterpiece toward himself until it tore from the wall and Saunière collapsed backward I N
(3) a heap beneath the canvas.
As HE (4) anticipated, a thundering iron gate fell nearby, barricading the entrance to the
suite. THE (5) parquet floor shook. Far off, an alarm began to ring.
The curator lay a moment, gasping for breath, taking stock. I am still alive. He crawled
out from under the canvas AND (6) scanned the cavernous space for someplace to hide.
A voice spoke, CHI LLI NGLY (7) close. "Do not move."
On his hands and knees, the curator froze, turning his head slowly.
Only fifteen feet away, outside the sealed gate, the MOUNTAI NOUS (8) si lhouette of
his attacker stared through the iron bars. He was broad and tall, with ghost-pale skin and
thinning white hair. His irises were pink with DARK RED (9) pupils. The albino drew a pistol
from his coat and aimed the long silencer through the bars, directly at the curator. "Yo u
should not have run." HIS (10) accent was not easy to place. "Now tell me where it is."
"I told you ALREADY (11)," th e curator stammered, kneeling defenseless on the floor of
the gallery. "I have no idea what you are talking about!"
"You are lying." The man stared at him, perfectly immobile except for the glint in his
GHOSTLY (12) eyes. "Yo u and your brethren possess something that is not yours."
The curator FELT (13) a surge of adrenalin. How COULD (1 4) he possibly know this?
"Tonight the rightful guardians will be restored. Tell me where it is hidden, and you will
live." The man leveled his gun AT (15) the curator's head. "Is it a secret you will die f or?"
Saunière could not breathe.
The man tilted his head and closed one eye, peering down the barrel of his gun.
Saunière held up his hands in defense. "Wait," he said slowly. "I wil l tell you what you
need to know." The curator spoke his next words carefully. The lie he told was one he had
rehearsed many times… each time praying he would never have to use it.
When the curator HAD (16) finished speaking, his assailant smiled SMUGLY (17).
"Yes. This is exactly what the others told me. "
Saunière recoiled. The others?
"I found them, too," the huge man taunted. "All three of them. They confirmed what you
have just said."
It cannot be! The curator's true identity, along with the identities of his three sénéchaux,
was almost as sacred as the ancient secret they protected.
Saunière now realized his sénéchaux, following STRICT (18) procedure, had told the same lie
before their own deaths. It w as part of the protocol.
The attacker aimed his gun again. "When you are gone, I wil l be the only one who knows
the truth."
The truth. I n an instant, the curator grasped the true horror of the situation. I f I die, the
truth will be lost forever. Instinctively, HE (19 ) tried to scramble for cover.
THE (20) sil encer spat, and the curator felt a searing heat as the bullet lodged in his
stomach. He fell forward…struggling against the pain. Slowly, Saunière rolled over and stared
back through the bars at his attacker.
The man was NOW (21) taking dead aim at Saunière's HEAD (22).
Saunière closed his eyes, his thoughts a swirling tempest of fear and regret.
The click of an empty chamber ECHOED (23) t hrough the corridor.
The curator's eyes flew open.
The man glanced down at h is weapon, looking almost amused. He re ached for a second
clip, BUT (24) then seemed to r econsider, smirking calmly at Saunière's gut. "My wo rk here
is done."
The curator looked down and saw the bullet hole in his white linen shirt. I t was framed
by a small circle of blood a few inches below his breastbone. My stomach. Almost cruelly, the
bullet had missed his heart. As a veteran of La Guerre d'Algérie, the curator HAD (25)
witnessed this HORRI BLY (26) drawn out death before. For fifteen minutes, he would
survive as his stomach acids SEEPED (27) IN TO (28) his chest cavity, slowly poisoning him
from within.
"Pain IS (29) good, monsieur," the man said.
Then he was gone.
Alone now, J acques Saunière turned his gaze again to the iron gate. He was trapped,
and the doors could not be reopened for at least twenty minutes. By the time anyone got to
him, he would BE (30) dead. Even so, the fear that now gripped him was a FEAR (31) far
greater than that of his own death.
