AN: sighs I've had one hell of a weekend……and writing has been the only way to keep my sanity. So here ya'll go! And be happy that my case of Mono isn't as bad as my boyfriends! He ended up in the hospital. Oh and if ya'll want to (which would make me happy) check out my other stories, mainly Star Wars and my new one that is an X-Men and Harry Potter crossover called A Sinister Plan. Thanks!

Chapter Four:

"Where are we going today?" Sarah asked, looking up at her parents who were each holding her hand as they walked down 40th Street in NYC.

The Langdon family has been in NYC for three days now. This day was their last full day before leaving the next day.

So far they had seen and done most all of the touristy things to do in NYC. And the one thing that Sarah had loved the most was the Central Park Zoo. She loved monkeys and Langdon sometimes said to Sophie that Sarah climbed the most random objects, much like a monkey did sometimes.

"We're going to a museum, today," Sophie said. "Papa is speaking there."

Sarah scrunched up her nose. "Do I have to listen to another of papa's speeches?" she asked.

Sophie and Langdon laughed.

"No princess. You and mommy can look around the museum." Langdon said as they stopped and waited for the crosswalk to change so they could cross in front of the NYC Public Library.

As they walked across the street, a young woman brushed past Sophie quickly, bumping her somewhat.

"Oh I'm sorry," the young woman quickly said before continuing on.

"That's alright," Sophie said, suddenly feeling very odd.

Once they were across the street, Sophie stopped. Something about that young woman made Sophie feel a bit odd, if not more reassured. She watched the young woman head into the library.

"Sophie?" Langdon asked.

"Hun?" she asked coming out her state of thinking.

"Are you alright?" he asked, rubbing her shoulder gently.

She nodded yes, as the family kept on walking.


Kyla quickly ran up the steps to the NYC Public Library. There was one thing that she hated about NYC and it was all the tourists. They could never seem to walk as fast or get out of her way fast enough when she was in a hurry.

But there was something odd about that woman she had just bumped into.

She quickly put it in the back of her mind, as she sat down in the library lobby. She knew that her laptop could pick up a wireless connection here. She kicked herself all the way to the library because she could had done this at home, but she had cut off her internet too early.

She pulled out her laptop and turned it on. Once it was powered up and ready to go, she opened up a search page and typed in 'Spear of Destiny'.

And the caption for the first result told it all:

The Spear of Destiny (also known as the Holy Lance, Holy Spear, Lance of Longinus, or Spear of Longinus) is an historical artifact which, since the Middle Ages, has been identified with the spear that is reported in the Gospel of John (19:31-37) as having pierced the side of Jesus during his crucifixion.

She quickly sat back and wondered why she would be having a dream about it and the Knights Templar.

Then it dawned on her.

The Knights Templar was said to have found many treasures in the Holy Land, including the Holy Grail. That could be an connection.

Kyla sighed.

This was all going to drive her insane. Perhaps her grandpa's documents would help her some. But reading them took hours. She had skimmed them once before, but it was way too much for her to understand at the time.

But it was all going to have to wait until tomorrow during her flight to London. She had too much to do that day before leaving in the morning.


"Master, the guardian is leaving tomorrow." a deep male voice said in a hushed whisper.

"Does she have it?" an older voice asked.

"I'm not sure."

"Follow her then. And do not get caught again. There is only so much I can do for you."

"Yes master."
