----------------------------------------------------
background info:
Monia Parks found herself having to move to Washington, D.C. to get away from the fighting in her family and the abuse of her boyfriend, Brian Fitzgerald. She was born in New Mexico and lived there until she was 8. Then her family moved to Alabama. Since then, things got worse. Her parents starting fighting over the smallest things, which lead to a divorce when she was 16. Then when she was 19 she met and started dating Brian. After a month or so he started getting more agresive with Monica. When she turned 21 she was hospitalized due to the beatings she got. The doctors said there was only one way to stop the beatings before they got worse. Moving away.

Chapter 1: The Bracelet
Monica Parks was now 23 and sitting in Dr. Abigail Chase's office appiling for a job to become her new secretary, since her old one had a family death and moved to Montana. The tall black haired female was a shoe-in to be Dr. Chase's new secretary. Her majors were american history and archeology. When she wasn't fighting or being beaten, she would read, research, and learn everything she could about American history. Monica nerviously looked around at the items in the office. She noticed George Washington's compain buttons. Dr. Chase had every one. Monica looked at them from her seat in amazement; she had never seen all of them together before.
"I can honestly say that you are the most quilified applicant I have." Abby said, looking over Monica's application, pulling Monica out of her observations, "You get the job. When can you start?"
"As soon as you want me to!" Monica beamed, excited she got the job.
"Well, can you come in this afternoon?" Abby asked.
"Absolutly!" Monica's off-blue eyes lit up.
"Well, I will have to get you a pass to enter the building. Then I will get you a name plate for your desk, located outside my door. Welcome to the National Reserve!" Abby stood up and took Monica to get a badge and pass.
------------------------(Later that afternoon)------------------------
Monica had come back to Abby's office but when she got there, two males where there that she recognized as Ben Gates and Riley Poole. She recognized them from news channels and specials about the Knights Templar Treasure. As she knocked on the door, the three had noticed Monica.
"Ms. Parks! You're early. I wasn't expecting you for another 10 minutes." Abby said, "This is my fience, Ben Gates, & our friend, Riley Poole. Boys, this is my new secretary, Monica Parks."
"Nice to meet you." Ben said, shaking her hand.
"Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Parks." Riley shook her hand.
"Wow, that bracelet! It has the All Seeing Eye on it!" Ben said as she was shaking Riley's hand.
"Yes. It was my aunt's. She gave it to me when she passed away when I was 12, because she had no children of her own." Monica said, looking at the bracelet, remembering.
"Wow. Do you know where she got it?" Riley asked, studying the bracelet closely, as he still had her hand.
"Hmmm... I believe she got it from one of the dig sites she worked at. She was an archologist. This came from..." Monica paused to think, "Montana if I'm not mistaken. She found other items there but she only kept this and a brotch."
"Do you mind if I could take a look at it?" Ben motioned at the bracelet.
"Sure." Monica unclasped the bracelet and handed it to Ben.
"Did she give you the brotch as well?" Abby asked as she looked at the bracelet in Ben's hands.
"No. She kept that, I don't believe she gave it to anyone." Monica said.
"Look at this! There is an ingraving on the inside... It says:'From Sand to Brick as far as the Eye can sea, With mummy you will plea. Benith the treasure, not yet silver and gold, there is another tail yet to be told.'" Ben read.
"Does that mean there is another treausre?" Riley spoke up.
"Possibly. Monica, do you know where the brotch you were talking about before is?" Ben questioned.
"Hmm... If it was with all the items she collected from different digsites, then it would be at the museum down the street from her house. The Malibu Museum." Monica answered.
"What if it wasn't with the items?" Riley curiously asked.
"Then, ...My father would have taken it..." Monica sighed, "He would have sold it to the highest bidder. But I don't recall my family ever selling anything of hers, really."
"Monica what else can you tell us about what you know about your aunt's work, the brotch, or bracelet?" Abby asked.
"Well, my aunt was fasinated with the pyraimds, and those type of things. She told me that the bracelet would always protect me. But that's all i know." Monica said.
"I say we try to find out as much as we can about this bracelet and find that brotch." Abby said as Ben handed the bracelet to her.
"I can do that. Give me five minutes on a computer and I can find out as much information as you need." Riley said, sitting down at Monica's new desk with her computer.
"Let me help you with that." Monica said, pulling up a chair next to Riley as Abby handed the bracelet to her.
"Well, i have to go. Have fun you guys. I'll see you at home, dear." Ben gave Abby a quick kiss, "Bye Monica, nice meeting you."
"You too." Monica said as Ben left.
"He's something isn't he?" Abby said, walking into her office.
"Yeah. Really something." Monica said, folowing Abby.
"Hey, don't get any ideas. He's my fience." Abby joked.
"Naw, I meant Riley." Monica whispered, out of ear range of Riley.
Abby chuckled, "Well, Riley is refreshingly original."
"Not to mention he's kind of cute, too. In that goofy type of geeky way" Monica laughed as they walked back to where Riley was seaching on the computer.
"What are you guys laughing about?" Riley looked up from the computer screen.
"Oh, nothing." Monica giggled. Then Abby whispered in her ear, "And clueless."
"I want to know! Tell me the joke!" Riley whined, which caused the two girls to continue giggling.
"It's a... uh... girl thing." Abby stopped giggling.
"Yea, let's get back to the research." Monica said, a little red from the giggle fit.
"OK... but I still want to know..." Riley said under his breath.
