To be honest, Claude wasn't sure what he expected to find. But when their lights swept across the room and revealed the few clues that were left for them, his heart sank. Even if he didn't consider himself dumb, he had to admit that he was having a hard time understanding how these cryptic hints were supposed to help them.
Okay, Claude, he thought to himself as he read over the note beneath the painting. Think!
"The head of John the Baptist, huh," he sighed as he turned the words over in his mind. "Well, I know it's another reference to Christianity. According to the story, he was actually related to Jesus, and he was revered as a saint by some religious sects. He's called 'John the Baptist' because he baptized Jesus in a river. The Romans mentioned killing him in that movie you and I watched the other day."
Religion had little relevance in Claude's own time, but the impact it had on Earth's history was hard to dispute. Still, he never would have guessed he'd have to use what he learned in class for something serious like this.
