			Leaving the temple, Leonardo was escorted by an assassin scout. After Ezio left, the assassin explored the catacombs and found a secluded tunnel that was blocked by thick grates and a metal door locked shut. Through the grates, he spotted several scrolls and manuscripts; but one little box caught his attention. It was a small chest that had the [[Assassin insignia\|assassin's mark]].<ref name="ACID">''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]'' - [[Niccolò Machiavelli's journal]] #4</ref>

After midnight, Machiavelli sends another assassin to find the apprentices and he returned with the news that their death.
