Sophie, and Langdon make their way into the tomb, where ten knights
lie.

have not stopped Teabing.

knights; nine of the tombs are decorated with statues of knights.
One has no statue.
The altar boy who let them in comes back and asks them
questions. He hears a sound and goes to investigate. Rémy and Silas, who
have entered, threaten him. The boy wets his pants in fear, and then
he is allowed to run away.
Summary: Chapter 86
Silas holds Langdon at gunpoint and demands the cryptex,
but Langdon threatens to smash it on the floor and ruin the papyrus inside
unless Silas lets Sophie and Teabing go. Since the Teacher has had
Rémy instruct Silas not to shoot anyone, Silas doesn’t know what
to do. The Teacher has also told Rémy not to show his face, but
Rémy takes Teabing at gunpoint and makes Langdon give Silas the
cryptex. Rémy leaves with Teabing. Silas keeps Langdon and Sophie
at gunpoint.
