Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-One

"They're all dead!" Sister Sandrine stammered into the answering machine in her room at St. Sulpice. "Please answer the phone! They're all dead!" Sister Sandrine called the first three numbers and got horrific results - the first answered by a hysterical widow, the second by a detective working overtime at the murder scene, and the third by a A priest comforting the family of the deceased.All three contacts are dead.Now, she dialed the fourth—and final—number.That number should only be called if she can't find the other three contacts.The call was connected to the answering machine of the other party. The answering machine did not say the name of the owner, but only asked the other party to leave a message.

"The floor tiles have been smashed!" she added, "The other three are dead!" Sister Sandrine didn't know who the four people she was protecting were, but she knew there was only one way to open the envelope hidden under the bed. The person who did not show up sent her a message that the breaking of the floor tiles meant the destruction of the upper echelons.One of us was threatened with his life and forced to tell a lie.You just make those calls and alert others.Do help us do it. At first, she was surprised to hear such an arrangement, but later realized that it couldn't be simpler.If a parishioner's identity is discovered, he can tell a lie, which sets off the alarm mechanism.But tonight, more than one church member was found.

"Please answer," she asked in horror, "where are you?" "Hang up the phone," a deep voice came from the door. Sister Sandrine turned her head in horror, and saw the burly monk standing at the door with a candlestick in his hand.Trembling, she hung up the phone. "They are dead," said the monk. "All four of them are dead. They play me for a fool. Tell me where the keystone is hidden." "I don't know." Sister Sandrine said frankly, "They kept that secret. They died!" The man stepped forward, holding the iron candlestick tightly in his hand. "You are a nun in this church, why should you serve them?"

"Jesus had only one message," said Sister Sandrine boldly, "and Opus Dei did not. Suddenly the monk's eyes lit up with rage, and he rushed forward, using the candlestick as a club, and lashed out." Sister Sandrine. Sister Sandrine fell, and the last thing that crossed her mind was a foreboding. All four died. That precious truth will be lost forever.
