AN: Here ya'll go! I know it's short, but it needed to be. Enjoy!
Chapter Seven:
For a bit after Sophie's realization, she and Kyla talked. That was after she made Langdon switch her seats, she that she wasn't leaning over him.
They mainly talked about what happened to their grandfathers. Sophie simply said that hers died naturally and that was the same story that Kyla said. Each of them were weary about telling people that their grandfathers had been murdered.
But what they did find out about each of their grandfathers, was that Nathan McDonald died about six months after Jacques Saunière did.
"Kyla! You're coloring out of the lines!" Sarah squealed slightly at Kyla once they began coloring again after a while.
Kyla looked down at her picture of the bear and a bouquet of flowers. A line of red crayon was drawn way out from the outlined picture.
"Oops. Sorry," she said smiling as she fixed the flower to extend to the red line.
Both girls laughed slightly.
The more that Sophie and Langdon watched their daughter and Kyla interact. Both were amazed. Something about Kyla had sparked something in Sarah.
Yet there was something that Sophie wasn't telling her husband. She too had a feeling of comfort and protection simply talking to Kyla. The last time she had this feeling was when she had been around Nathan McDonald when she was a little girl…
"Here you go," Kyla said kneeling in front of Sarah. "Keep my picture and show Kiki."
Sarah took the picture and smiled brightly at the older girl. "Ok!" she happily said.
Kyla stood back up, said goodbye to the Langdon family and walked in the opposite direction, back towards to the ticket counters of Heathrow Airport.
Then the Langdon family turned and walked towards where their car was parked.
He watched her every move. London wasn't as big as New York City, but still if he didn't keep up with her then there will be hell to pay.
The only good thing was that his informant from NYC had told him where Kyla Watkins would be staying and most all the vital details about her. But not much else.
As he watched her get into the car that was waiting for her, he knew that it wouldn't be long until he pleased his master…
Meanwhile in NYC:
He stood looking out across the skyline of the city.
A sly smile spread across his face.
He knew that soon Lief would accomplish his task and retrieve the Spear of Destiny from its guardian.
Then when the spear was in his control, he could fulfill his family's task that had been set before them in 1307.
