Alex felt a slight punch and she opened her eyes. She began to sit up and she saw Adrian staring at her, she began to scream when he slammed his fist across her face.

How did he get in the car? Alexandria thought nervously, she forced herself toward the door and groped for the handle, but Adrian easily gripped her around the waist and began to pull her out of the car. She began to fight him, her legs kicking him as fast and hard as she could.

"Don't worry," Adrian sneered, twisting her arm too far back, threatening to crush her as if she was an insect. "Daddy's here."

He immensely enjoyed the horrified expression the spread across her face.

Alexandria shivered as Adrian had told her what to do. He pressed the gun into her hip as he guided her forward.

She kept her breathing steady. Keep calm. Make sure Robert and Sophie are safe. Tears slid down her face. Why was she into this? And this man…he claimed… she couldn't even go on with her thoughts, it was so horrifying.

Step by step, they approached Robert and Sophie. Each time they got closer, Alex just wanted to die. She didn't want to have to do this to the people who helped her.

Sophie heard a soft sound and whirled around. "What was that?" she whispered.

Robert turned around. "What was what—" he never got to finish his sentence. Alex was thrust into the light of the pyramid, Adrian grasping her hair with one dirty hand and a gun in the other.

Robert immediately stood in front of Sophie, while Adrian carefully aimed the gun. "Tell where the Grail is," he said softly, eerily calm.

"Tell me now," he spoke again. "Or she dies." He dug the gun deeper into Alex's skin. Alex fearfully looked over at Robert, who seemed furious at her.

"It was YOU, wasn't it?" he roared. "YOU are with him! There are too many coincidences, there's no other explanation for it…you must be collaborating together!"

"Robert no!" Alex cried out, tears sliding down her face.

"The chalice? A ploy to get us to follow this business. You must have somehow planted the car bomb, told us so we could trust you. And you've told Adrian every step we took." Robert was furious, Sophie looked shocked.

"How could you, Alex?" those words slipped out of Sophie's mouth before she could stop them.

"I won't tell you where the Grail is," Robert said forcefully to Adrian. "This is between you and me, not anyone else."

Barely moving, Sophie felt around her pant pocket for her phone. Finding it, she pressed her speed dial, which was the DCJP, alerting them that they were in trouble.

Adrian saw this and his eyes bulged as he launched himself at Sophie. He hit her, sending her down to the ground. He towered over Robert, who had been pushed out of the way by Sophie, and had a fiendish look in his eye.

"Goodbye, Mr. Langdon."

The gunshot seemed so loud that it could've been heard all around the world.

Sophie shouted. She threw herself toward Robert, ignoring the fact that Adrian was above them.

"Robert! Oh God Robert no!" She began to cry hysterically. "Robert! Where…oh no…" she said as blood formed on Robert's chest and soaking his shirt.

Robert slowly propped himself up on his forearms, looking dazed. "Sophie… what…"

"No Robert don't," she pushed him back down. "Your hurt," tears fell off her cheeks and onto him.

"Sophie," Robert repeated, taking her hand, looking confused. "No I'm not. Princess, I wasn't hit."

At the same time, the couple looked up at Adrian, who had a shocked expression planted on his face. His hands groped right above his heart as he stumbled and fell. He was dead.

Just to reveal Alex, trembling, holding Adrian's gun.

Hours later…

It was early morning. Robert stifled a yawn as he looked over at Sophie who looked equally tired. They were at the hospital, where Fache had insisted they get a check-over.

They were waiting for Fache, who was in a room discussing things with Alex. Robert was confused. He had thought Alexandria was with Adrian…but when she shot him…he had different thoughts.

A nurse walked out of the room Alex was in. "Do you know Alexandria? I just might thought you might want to know that she's fine, but the strange-looking cut on her hand is infected."

The nurse looked up at Robert and Sophie. "No wonder it was infected too. This was wedged in between the cut of her hand."

Sophie looked in awe. It was a tracking chip. Adrian must have slipped it in when he had attacked her the first time…
