Back to
The Lost Symbol~

"Dressed in his loincloth, Mal`akh padded back and forth in front of Peter Solomon's wheelchair. "Peter," he whispered, enjoying every moment of his captive's horror, "you forgot you have a second family...your Masonic brothers. And I will destroy them, too...
unless you help me."
Solomon looked almost catatonic..."please," he finally stammered...

"If this video gets out..."

"If?"

Mal`akh laughed.

"If it gets out?"

He motioned to the small to the small cellular modem plugged into the side of his laptop.

"I'm connected to the world."

"You wouldn't..."

I will, Mal`akh thought, enjoying Solomon's horror. "You have the power to stop me," he said, "And to save your sister. But first you have to tell me what I want to know. The lost Word is hidden somewhere..."Perhaps this will help inspire you." Mal`akh reached over Peter's shoulders and hit a few keys on the laptop...The screen now displayed a video file addressed to a long list of major media networks...

Mal`akh smiled.

"I think its time we share, don't you?"

"Don't."

Mal`akh reached down and clicked the send button on the program.
Peter jerked aganist his bonds..."

"Relax Peter," Mal`akh whispered.

"Its a massive file. It will take a few minutes to go out."
He pointed to the progress bar:

SENDING MESSAGE: 2% COMPLETE

"If you tell me what I want to know, I'll stop the e-mail, and nobody will ever see this."
Peter was ashen as the task bar inched forward."

SENDIND MESSAGE: 4% COMPLETE

"The legend says the Masonic Pyramid will unveil the Lost Word.
This is the pyramids final code.

"I believe you know how to read it."

Mal`akh glanced over at the laptop."

SENDING MESSAGE: 8% COMPLETE

"Mal`akh returned his eyes to Peter...his gray eyes blazing now with hatred.
Hate me, Mal`akh thought. The greater the emotion, the more potent the energy that will be released when the ritual is completed"

"Peter Solomon was desperately trying to fiquire out what to do. All he could see in his mind were the images of Katherine bleeding in the basement...and of the video he had just witnessed...He turned his head...The progress bar was alkmost a third of the way filled."

SENDING MESSAGE: 29% COMPLETE

The tattooed man was now walking slow circles around the square alter, swinging a lit censor and chanting to himself. Thick puffs of white smoke swirled up toward the skylight...The man's eyes...seemed to be in a demonic trance.
Peter turned his gaze to the ancient knife...on the white silk cloth spread across the alter....Would he find a way to save his sister and his brotherhood...He glanced down at the grid of symbols"
(TLS 439-41).

"Peter Solomon knew exactly what he needed to do. Taking a deep breath...he began to speak.
All great truths are simple.
Mal`akh had learned that a long time ago.
The solution that Peter Solomon was now explaining was so graceful and pure that Mal`akh was sure that it could only be true...the pyramid's final code was... was far simpler than he ever imagined.
The Lost word was right before my eyes.
Soon I am complete"
(TLS 442).

Back with our hero~

"Langdon held his breath as the helicopter dropped from the sky toward Dupont Circle..."

"A handful of pedestrians scattered as the aircraft decended through an opening in the trees and landed hard on the lawn just south of the famous two-tierd fountain designed by the same two men who created the Lincoln Memorial..."

"Thirty seconds later, Langdon was riding...in a SUV, tearing up New Hampshire avenue toward the House of the Temple"
(TLS 441).
