Chapter One Hundred Forty-Three

After Ruben had left, Sarah continued to question her motives for being where she was, for doing what she was doing. But, as always, the same questions remained: Where am I going? What am I doing? What is my purpose?

You’re looking for a new Sanctuary, she told herself, the Source of Egypt. At least, that’s what the Golden Scroll, shown her by Avery in the Vatican vault, had intimated. She still couldn’t believe the prophet spoken of was Adam, the Adam. It was hard to believe, impossible even, but it begged the question: if the Adam the scroll referred to was the same as the one mentioned in the Bible, then did Eve exist, too? It was a tantalising and fantastical prospect, although the more she thought about it, the more questions it raised.

A sharp pain lanced through Sarah’s chest and she gasped.

She held out a trembling hand and then rummaged in her clothing in search of her drugs. Where are they?! she thought, her anxiety spiking. She felt in another pocket. They aren’t there! Did I drop them on the climb? Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, her throat tightened and her movements became frantic until her hand closed on the pouch she’d been seeking. With shaky hands, she unfurled the roll and withdrew the needle. Moments later the syringe’s plunger depressed and Sarah felt the same relief as before. Her tremors lessened and a flood of pleasurable sensations swept through her body.

As she relaxed back onto a boulder, her thoughts returned to Ruben’s warning. Had the monk threatened her?

Or is he referring to Zinetti and the Swiss Guard? She tried to shake off a sense of dread, but the feeling persisted until the infusion of drugs relaxed her mind, as it had her body.

Invigorated after the climb and her little pick-me-up, Sarah gathered herself and set off in pursuit of everyone else, leaving the mournful cries of the eagles behind her. There was no more time for musings, she had places to be, things to do, and most importantly, people to see.
