Disclaimer- I don't own National Treasure. I own the plot, and I own Deborah Martin who will appear in later chapters. I don't own Coral Thrift Shop either, I just like to work there.
Anyway, on with the story!
National Treasure: The Boston Tea Party
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
"Do we have to go into that Thrift Shop?" Riley whined.
"You never know what you're going to find in a thrift shop." Abigail said.
"Oh, come on." Riley said.
"You're worse than Abi." Ben said.
"Yeah, and I'm pregnant." Abigail said. "Plus, I feel like crap. We're going into the thrift shop!" She marched straight into the shop.
Riley gave Ben a look, and they both trudged into Coral Thrift.
Abigail spent at least a half hour looking at the shop, until she came up with a stack of jewelry.
"That will be five dollars." The clerk said.
"Wow!" Abigail said.
Riley rolled his eyes. Once they left, he said, "We discover a treasure, and inherit millions of dollars, but we all still have to shop at THRIFT STORES-"
"Riley, shut up!" Ben said, as Abigail's eyes watered.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
"Ben, I want take out!" Abi shouted.
"I'm gonna get take out!" Ben shout back.
"Then I'm staying!" Riley called.
Abigail was sitting on the couch, in a pair of sweats, looking at the jewelry. "Wow." She said. "Riley, look at this locket."
"Fascinating." Riley said, not lifting his head from the computer. "Is there anything inside it?"
Abigail spent twenty minutes trying to get the locket open. Finally she got a butter knife, and it snapped open. "Ahhhh!" She yelled. "I got it!"
"That's amazing." Riley said, still not looking up from his laptop.
"Its not!" Abigail said indignantly. "Its all rusty. Will you clean it with off for me?"
"Uh, no." Riley said. "I'm busy." He still hasn't looked up.
"Please?" Abigail said. "I can't get near the jewelry polisher stuff."
"Why?" Riley asked.
"Uhhhh," Abigail pointed to her belly. She was seven and a half months pregnant. "Ben will get mad at me if I go near it."
"FINE!" Riley cleaned it off, and threw it back to Abigail. Once he had sat back down at his computer, she screamed.
"WHAT!" Riley yelled. He ran back to Abigail, expecting to see her in premature labor. She was just sitting and gaping at the locket.
"Look at what this says." Abigail said.
"Abi, I cannot see a thing." Riley said.
"It says, The Secret lies with the tea." Abigail said.
Ben walked in the door, and saw Riley and Abigail hunched over the locket. "Okay, what'd I miss?"
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
"Ben, I finally figured it out!" Riley said. "The tea of course meaning the tea that was dumped at the tea party-"
"The Boston Harbor." Ben and Abigail said at the same time.
"And the lying part, meaning, that the clue is at the bottom-"
"The Boston Tea party." Ben and Abigail said.
"Would you let me finish?" Riley asked. "We have to go to the Boston Harbor!"
"Yeah, we thought so too." Abigail said.
