With the huge success of Riley's Declaration of Independence, I knew I'd have to at least write one sequel! I hope I can match my first one, but with a completely new treasure, a new villain, and a more complex storyline, I'm not sure I can! So, here's my attempt at a completely new idea for National Treasure!
A/N: Contains spoilers for National Treasure II : Riley's Declaration of Independence!. Don't read this until you've read Riley's Declaration!
Disclaimer: How many times doI have to go through this! If I owned these characters, would I be posting here? Alexis is mine, Chloe is mine, Ryan is mine. Sandecker is not mine. I borrowed him from the Dirk Pitt book series by Clive Cussler.

Okay, I'm sitting in an airplane, bored out of my mind! What is there for me to do? I finished the book I brought and the in-flight movie is some Tom Cruise film with way too many explosions in it. I was so excited about going back to Texas and introducing my parents to Riley, Abigail, and Ben, but I forgot how long the flight is! Flying from D.C. to DFW is like flying from Boston to London. (Okay, it's not that far, but it seems like it.) The world we are entering is a far cry from the world of politics and history we're leaving behind. (Plus it's hot in mid-August!) My life has changed so much in the last three months that it will take two days to fill my parents in on what all has happened. (Something tells me they won't be too pleased if some photographers start hanging around their house.) Riley's new job as the head of the Security Technologies Development Department at the Archives nearly kept us from coming. Luckily, he was able to clear up the problem in less than an hour. (Don't ask. Even I had to ask for a translation!) Oh, another car exploded. I wish Tom Cruise would have gone with it. Riley's not making things any better. What is it with guys and music anyway? Maybe if I steal that IPod, he'll talk to me…
