just flown to the U.S. to check these two stones when Dr. Cherrigan was murdered in Costa Rica. Then I was on my way to the airport after his funeral to go examine the stone in Washington when I was driven off the road and nearly killed.
“Now that the killers, these ‘True Sons of Light,’ have Dr. Cherrigan’s notes, they’ll surely go after the stone. Once they discover that the last two spheres are in the United States and get to the correct one, Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb, an archaeological treasure, may be lost to these renegades,” Jade pleaded. She unexpectedly felt a surge of emotions which threatened to bring tears. She valiantly fought them off.
Tolen spoke in his normal nonplussed cadence. “I don’t see the relevance. Proof of Joseph of Arimathea’s existence does not prove the physical existence of Jesus Christ. It’s not a threat to the ‘True Sons of Light.’ There is no reason to think they will abandon their mantra to take time for an archaeological quest which does not satisfy their directive. While I appreciate the magnitude of the discovery, first and foremost, we need to find Boyd Ramsey. We will proceed to Costa Rica as planned.”
Diaz nodded in agreement, obviously content with Tolen’s declaration.
It was not what Jade wanted to hear.
The plane leveled off and reduced airspeed. The noise in the cabin likewise diminished. With each passing minute, they were moving further and further away from where she desperately needed to go.
Jade looked at the bright PC screen still displaying the plotted points in Costa Rica. She had withheld the full message from the Copper Scroll, wary of sharing the information with them. With the theft of Phillip’s notes, she was now forced into a position she had hoped to avoid.
Jade turned to Tolen. The agent was staring out the side window. Diaz had propped his head on the seat rest and closed his eyes.
“Okay, there’s more,” Jade said in resignation, breaking the silence. She dragged the back of her hand over her forehead, temporarily pushing aside her short dark bangs.
Tolen slowly turned toward her. Diaz brought his head forward and opened his eyes.
“Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb wasn’t the only thing mentioned in the coded message.”
Tolen coaxed her to continue with a subtle nod.
Jade looked down at the PC keyboard and opened a Word document. “Here’s the translation Dr. Cherrigan and I discovered in the Copper Scroll.” She read aloud:
I will be entombed far across the waters where I have helped to instill Christianity. Once I told the native people of Christ, they took it upon themselves to create countless numbers of perfectly round stones, as a sign of reverence to the one stone that covered Jesus’ tomb after the crucifixion. These hewn stones are spread in and around their village. The stone sphere with the creature of anonymity will lead to my tomb.
Jade exhaled, looking up. “What I didn’t tell you is that there was more,” she looked back at the text and continued reading:
The stone sphere with the creature of anonymity will lead to my tomb...and will start you on your journey of enlightenment. From my tomb, follow the path to the message on the wall. In turn, the message on the wall will lead the righteous man to the earthly objects of Jesus Christ. Only the man who has patience, is meager, and holds faith will arrive safely.
“Dr. Cherrigan and I believe the earthly objects of Jesus Christ to be a fabled cache of Jesus’ possessions: personal belongings, robes, sashes, sandals, and quite probably objects mentioned in the Bible. The right stone sphere will not only lead us to Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb but ultimately to a trove of artifacts which can be directly tied to Jesus of Nazareth. The value of such a collection would be incalculable, not to mention the single greatest archaeological discovery of all time.”
“And the ultimate target for the ‘True Sons of Light,’ ” Tolen said. His blue
