Rendezvous in Rome
“Brown bones scattered everywhere, producing a light cloud of dust.
In panic Nancy struggled to get away from the bones, yelling for help. She was dimly aware of the sound of a door slamming behind her.
Dizzy from her fall, Nancy scrambled toward the doorway, taking a mental inventory of her body as she went. She had smashed her elbow against the wall, but otherwise she felt all right. A heavy wooden door barred the exit from the chapel, though. The thief had slammed the door shut behind him, an...d now she found that it was stuck. She began shouting and pounding on the door.
“Nancy, are you in there?” Claudia shouted through the door a few minutes later.
“Yes, I’m here,” she called back.

“This was jammed against the door,” she said, her horrified gaze sweeping the tumble of bones around her. “What happened?”
Nancy described the attack as best she could.MoreLess
