Chapter 1

Danielle finished packed the last of her clothes into her suitcase. She didn't want to go live with her uncle. She'd never even meet him before the funeral. Her mother had just died last week. It was so sudden and unexpected. And now these people show up out of nowhere who appears to be her long lost family. Her grandma, grandpa, and uncle were at the funeral. The story she had heard was that her mother was keeping her away from her uncle and grandparents, because…they didn't really get along. Her mother ran away from home at the age of 16. When she was 17 she got pregnant with her boyfriend and had Danielle. Her mom raised her on her own and now, at the age of 29, she passed away. Danielle was left all alone. Instead of being put in an orphanage, Danielle was being forced to live with her uncle and his soon to be wife. She had learned just last night that her uncle and his girlfriend were going to get married in a few months. Great. More surprises. Danielle picked up her bag and took one more look around her bedroom. It was the last time she'd ever see it. It wasn't much. Just a small square room with her bed covered with a rainbow colored blanket, her oak wood dresser, and a blue mini coach in the corner. That's really all they could afford. She gave out one large sigh and left the room.

"Wow." Is all Danielle could say. She was standing on the front steps of the huge mansion. This is really where her uncle lived? Somehow, this made Danielle feel better. At least she'd finally be popular at school when kids got a load of this place. She'd turned at glared at the big front lawn. She saw the taxi driver headed down the mile long driveway. Danielle took a deep breath and turned back around to face the large double doors. She slowly knocked on them. She waited a few seconds before she heard footsteps echo inside the home. The door burst open and a woman stood in front of her. The woman wasn't much taller than Danielle. She had a beautiful face and a short blonde hair. Danielle recognized her from the funeral. Abigail.

"You must be Danielle." She said. She had that pretty Saxony German accent. Danielle nodded. "Well, come on in. Here I'll take your bag." Abigail took her bag and led her inside. The entrance hall was enormous! On either side were two spiral staircases leading upstairs. There was one wide staircase going down onto the main floor. Danielle could only stare at the magnificent house. "Ben, she's here!" Abigail called. Her voice bounced off the walls and sounded through the home. Not even a second later, two men emerged from one of the side hallways. The one on the right she recognized in a heartbeat. It was her uncle, Ben Gates. The other man she had never seen before. He was much shorter than Ben and wore a nice white polo with formal black pants. Fashion disaster, Danielle thought. His black hair was combed neatly and he held a pair of glasses in his hand. He had piercing blue eyes that stared curiously at her. She switched her gaze to her uncle. He stared up at her. "Danielle," He said. "Nice to see you again. Uh, welcome to our home." He said as began to climb the stairs to her. Abigail handed her bag to him once he reached the top. "Thank you," she managed to say. "Please call me Dani, though."

"Hello Dani," the blue eyed man said as he shook Danielle's hand. "I'm Riley, Bens best friend and treasure hunting sidekick." Riley put a little announce in his voice when he said the word 'sidekick'.

"Treasure hunting?" Dani questioned. Her uncle treasure hunted? That was interesting.

"Yeah, don't you know we-" Riley began, but was cut off by Ben. "Uh, Riley, will come with me for a second? Abigail will you take her bag and show her around." Ben said quickly. He handed her the suitcase. Abigail nodded as if she understood why Ben was suddenly acting nervous.

"Sure, dear. Come on Dani, I'll show you your bedroom and then I'll give you a tour of the place. Sound good?" She asked. Dani nodded as she put her arm around her shoulder and steered her into a long hallway.

"What was that all about?" Riley asked, turning to face his friend. "Wait…she doesn't know?"

Ben shook his head. "No, she doesn't know and I'm hoping to keep it that way." He stated, raising an eyebrow at Riley.

"How come? She might actually take interest in you if you just said, 'Oh hey, guess what, I'm an international treasure hunter. I've stolen the Declaration of Independence, kidnapped the President of the United States, and almost got arrested twice by the FBI'." Riley explained, sarcastically.

"Look, she already doesn't like me, why try to change her opinion?"

"Well, I don't know, what is she 13? The kids going to be living here for at least the 5 to 7 years, so you might as well become somewhat of a family."

"I'm not disusing this right now. If I decide to tell her, I'll tell her." Ben turned and began to leave.

"And what if she finds out?" Riley spoke up. Ben stopped and turned walked back to Riley.

"And just how would she find out?" He asked, questioningly.

"Let's see, you were on the cover of times magazine, the cover of journal star, and all over the internet. Teenage girls are always on the internet, Ben. She's going to find out eventually. Once she does, she's going to be asking questions and blabbing to her friends and who knows what else!" Riley ragged.

"Why are you so concerned about this?" Ben wondered. Riley hesitated for a second then spoke.

"I found something. A found something a couple nights ago…that you might be interested in." Riley spoke a little quietly. His eyes looked almost worried in a way, but excited to let his friend now this.

"Like?" Ben motioned with his hand for Riley to continue.

"Remember when you were on the page 47 case for the President?" Riley voice was a little shaky. Ben slowly nodded. "Well, it may or may not pertain to that."

Ben glanced at the floor and let out a sigh. He thought for a moment. Out of all the things he'd done, the investigating page 47 was by far the scariest. He locked eyes with Riley and could tell Riley was as frightened as he was by the news.

"Well," Ben began, trying to keep himself under control. His heart and mind were racing. His brain was cluttered with a million thoughts. "You can explain more of this to me while you help me fix dinner. I hope Danni likes spaghetti."
