The Start
You stumble out of the Vatican Museum, you have a splitting headache. Reaching your hand out to feel the back of your head - a sticky warm sensation prompts you to look at your fingers - it is blood. A dark mysterious figure appears from behind the shadows and swings something at you. You bolt towards a nearby gate and find that it is locked. Searching around in panic, you fumble through your pockets to find a small slip of paper on which is scribbled some text referring to a secret which could bring the entire Catholic church into irreperable disrepute. The dark figure reaches into his coat and pulls out what looks like a gun. He raises it and points it at you, in the background you can hear bells tolling. You look around helpless and then you realise the horrible truth - YOU ARE STUCK IN A DAN BROWN NOVEL!
You quickly gather your wits about you and thank goodness that you aren't in a Sweet Valley High "novel" or, God forbid, R. L. Stine. How do you overcome this dark stranger?
