William, who was sleeping, was suddenly woken up by his phone's ringtone. He groggily picked up the phone on the bedside table. "Hello?"
"William, it's Sophie. Are you asleep? Sorry to call you so late, "Sophie said.
"What the hell? What time is it now? Why are you calling me, Sophie?" William said.
"William, I'm at Edinburgh Airport now. I have something to tell you. Can you come to Edinburgh Airport?" Sophie's voice was a little shaky. She was afraid.
William immediately sat up from the bed and said, "What? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again. Where are you?"
Sophie was frightened by William's tone and trembled. She stammered, "I just said I'm at Edinburgh Airport."
"Sophie Saunière, you're asking for trouble, you know? Didn't I tell you not to get involved in the Holy Grail anymore? You actually dared to follow me. Just you wait, "William said and hung up the phone.
Langdon saw that Sophie was so frightened by William that she was trembling. He quickly hugged her and comforted her. "It's okay, Sophie. You just stay with the airport police. William won't dare to do anything to you."
Sophie felt that what he said made sense and she was not so scared. "Well, Langdon, let's go buy a camera. When William comes, you hide."
When the two of them were ready, William had also arrived at the airport. After entering the airport, William wore a mask. He was now very famous in England. Many people knew him and many reporters were looking for him. They wanted to know if William had made any money in the stock market crash and how much he had made. However, this guy, William, had just returned to England and ran to France again. Thus, the reporters did not have the opportunity to find out.
However, William's action startled Langdon, who had been watching the airport's exit from the second floor. Why was William wearing a mask? Was he really going to kidnap Sophie out of the airport to silence her?
Langdon saw William walking towards Sophie after looking around at the airport entrance. Langdon panicked and shouted at Sophie, "Sophie, run! Run to the police!"
The passengers and policemen in the airport hall all looked at Langdon in surprise. Several patrolling policemen on the second floor ran in the direction of Langdon.
Sophie, who was on the first floor, heard Langdon's shout. She turned around and saw William, who was wearing a mask. She was also shocked. She quickly followed Langdon's order and ran to the police on the first floor, shouting "HELP!" as she ran.
William stared at Sophie, dumbfounded. He then looked at Langdon on the second floor. Langdon was talking excitedly to the police, and he was even pointing at himself.
The policeman on the first floor immediately spoke into the walkie-talkie on his shoulder. "Take control of the guy with the mask. A passenger reported that he is a dangerous person."
"Understood."
William saw a few policemen on the first floor with their hands on their holsters as they ran towards him. As they ran, they shouted at him, "Police, stand there and don't move."
Within a few seconds, William was surrounded by several policemen. At this time, William did not dare to move. These airport policemen were different from the ones outside. If he moved recklessly and they thought William was a threat, they might immediately shoot him.
William raised his hand and said, "My name is William Devonshire. Police, can I give you my ID from my pocket? Don't worry, I promise I will take it slowly. The ID is in my coat pocket."
Several policemen looked carefully at William. Seeing that he was not wearing much, they thought he had no weapons on him. One of the policemen facing William pointed his weapon at William and said, "Take it slowly. Don't make any unnecessary movements, or I will shoot. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand. Officer, be careful. Don't misfire. I'll slowly reach into my coat pocket to take out my ID. Is that okay?" William cursed in his heart. He would definitely teach Langdon and Sophie a lesson later.
Seeing that William was so cooperative, the policeman nodded and said, "Okay, you can take your ID now."
William slowly reached his hand into his coat pocket and took out his Special Security Advisor ID from the storage space. Then, he slowly raised his hand with the ID and waved it at the policeman.
"Throw it over," the policeman ordered.
William threw the ID to the policeman in front of him. Just when everyone was nervous, the policeman who picked up the ID looked at it and spoke into the walkie-talkie. After waiting for a minute and hearing a confirmation from the walkie-talkie, the policeman opposite William quickly put away his gun and saluted William. "Sorry, sir. Peter. Put down your guns. Put down your guns."
After that, he quickly walked to William and said, "Sir, you have to take off your mask so I can confirm your identity."
William took off his mask. The policeman took the ID and looked at William carefully. After that, he saluted and returned the ID to William.
William took the ID angrily and said to the policeman, "Guard the two people who shouted. I need a quiet room."
"Yes, sir," the policeman saluted William again and shouted to his companions, "Arrest the two people who made the false report and lock them up."
"What are you doing? I'm French. I'm a French police officer. What are you doing?" Sophie saw the policeman saluting William and knew something was wrong. She quickly shouted to the airport policeman that she was a French police officer.
When Sophie shouted that she was a French police officer, the airport policeman was less aggressive. However, Langdon was not so lucky. He was directly pressed to the ground and handcuffed by the policeman.
"Your ID, ma 'am. I need your ID," the airport policeman said to Sophie.
But Sophie did not have any ID now. She had just been suspended.
The airport policeman saw that Sophie did not have any ID and immediately handcuffed her. William followed the airport policeman to the detention room. After the policeman left, William teased Sophie and Langdon, who were locked in the detention room.
"Ha, look who this is. Professor Langdon, so you're here too. Don't you know that this country is my home ground? Professor, it looks like you're really not suitable to leave the United States. You're wanted by the French police as soon as you arrived in France. You haven't even cleared your name for 24 hours, and now you've been arrested by the Scottish police. Professor, you're in big trouble this time. You might be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison. You're the same, Miss Sophie. "
"No, William, I apologize. We thought you were wearing a mask because you wanted to take Sophie out to silence her. I didn't expect you to have an official status in England. If I had known, we wouldn't have gone through so much trouble," Langdon quickly explained.
William rolled his eyes speechlessly and pointed at Langdon. "Tell me, how did you know I was in Edinburgh?"
Sophie told them about how she bribed the airport manager, and also told them about Langdon's analysis.
When William heard that Langdon could analyze so much with such little clues, the way he looked at Langdon was different. He thought he had done it flawlessly, but he didn't expect Langdon to find a loophole.
In order to not let these two guys disturb his search for the Holy Grail, William said to Langdon and Sophie, "Okay, you'll stay here for 48 hours. After 48 hours, the police will let you go. I still have something to do, so I won't play with you."
When Langdon saw that William wanted to lock them up to search for the Holy Grail, he quickly said, "I know where you want to go. William, you want to go to Rosslyn."
When William heard Langdon's words, he scolded, "Damn it, shut up, Langdon. If you talk again, I'll lock you up in the dark prison so that you'll never be able to come out."
F * ck, should I get rid of these two bastards?
