Chapter two is now up! Yay! Now I'm not sure how to post a chapter two, because on my first story, I wrote the whole thing up thinking it'd let me seprate the chapters later. Well, I was wrong and I think I know how to post these things now, but I'm not 100% sure, so forgive me if I post the second chapter along with the first on accident! READ ON! AND REVIEW! Sorry, I couldn't update faster…I was tired, lazy and busy…here's chapter two!

Chapter two: The states Maddie's POV

How the hell did we get sucked into the movie? I don't know, don't ask me questions! Well, we had been sucked in and now we were going to have to live through this somehow. How we're we going to get out? I don't know. What's our story? I barley know. I guess we'd have to fake amniesia or something. Whatever, this sucks either way. So we paced around the FBI building waiting for Ben, and Riley to come back out. "What are we going to say when they come out?" I demanded. "I'm working on it! You're lucky I made up that story out in the arctic!" She hissed. "Yes, that oh, so believable story!" I quietly shrieked. She pulled her eyebrows together, ignoring me, like she was thinking. Yes! She's got her idea face on! "What if we said that we we're…no, no. That'd never work." She muttered. All enthusiasim in me drained out. "Anything's good Lexi! I won't judge you unless it's we got abducted by aliens!" I cried. People gave us some strange looks. She snapped her fingers staring at the ground. "Got it." She said. "What?" I asked as they came out. "How'd it go?" Lexi asked casually. "Is it really so hard to believe someone's going to steal the Declaration of Independence?" Riley answered. I frowned and pretended to think for a minute. "Yes." I stated, my eyes narrowing my hand out as in a what motion. Ben ignored us. "The FBI gets 10,000 tips a week. They're not going to worry about something they're sure is safe." He said distracted. He's got like ADD or something 'cause he's distracted a lot. "What if…we went one step short of crazy?" Lexi suggested. "Huh?" I asked. "Yeah…that'd be good." Ben mused as though he knew what in the world she was talking about. "What do you mean?" Riley asked. "What do you get when you step back once from crazy?" Lexi quizzed cockily. "Obsessed!" Riley said with a hint of hysteria in his voice. "Passionate." Ben corrected. I frowned, "Huh."

So we were sitting in the waiting room of the archives. Okay, then. Works, I guess. I saw something out of the corner of my eye. A brochure for some gala thing this weekend. "Hmm…" Ben mused apparently he had been reading over my shoulder. I slowly handed him one, eyeing him carefully. Riley was once again trying to flirt with Lexi. I rolled my eyes, and kept reading. She was so blind sometimes! Clearly he has a crush on her, which was cute, and annoying. It felt unfair. Guys always seemed to like her, it wasn't that bad though. I mean some guys are really creepy with how flirty they've been getting with her, so I mean I know I wouldn't want that. You know even her math teacher eyed her one time! We were laughing at her for weeks! I mean she was my sister, practically so she of course was always trying to set me up with guys. But then I got my boyfriend. His name is Jake. He's awesome, funny and nice. But I might break up with him because it sounds like his collage plans we're half way across the country where as mine were with Lexi, in Minnesota, well that's the plan, but we haven't gotten many acceptance letters yet. Well I haven't, I've only gotten two to be accepted into Eau Claire college, and at University of Illinois. She's gotten into Florida, and West Virginia, and been rejected at Washington State. She still has three letters coming, and is still filling out applications. She's planning on being a child physiatrist, I'm going to be an English teacher. Her sister was working to be a doctor at the University of Wisconsin, with her boyfriend who was working on becoming a professor at UW, the other professors were excited to have him on they're team they claim. He's going to be teaching English to Chinese students. Our friend was excepted into a University near the twin cities (and was planning on being a pediatrician) so we were hoping to be able to visit her a lot. She's decided to go into a sorority, she thinks it sounds fun. Me and Lexi want be in dorms. I was interrupted from my thoughts when someone said, "Dr. Chase can see you now Mr. Brown." My head snapped up, and we walked into the office Ben and Riley exchanged a few words, and we saw Dr. Chase was a girl. Haha, cool, burn on Riley! "Abigail Chase." SHe said extending her hand towards Ben. I smiled, while Lexi introduced herself and I. "Alice, and Bella, Sheller…son." She said. I choked back laughter. Wow, only we would take names from twilight! Wait a minute. Uh, she is so not Alice! I'm Alice! Whatever. "Uh, Bill." Riley stuttered. I rolled my eyes when Abigail wasn't looking. Really? Bill? Seriously? I mean Alice and Bella are way better than that! I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation at hand. I was…bored. Aw, man this sucks! THIS MOVIE IS TOO MUCH TALKING NOT ENOUGH ACTION! (Lexi: Wait and see Maddie…wait and see…) I snapped my senses back to the conversation at hand now, I couldn't wait for action. That'd be fun! Maybe this lady would like grow talons! And be like a fury or something! (Lexi: DUDE IT"S NOT A HORROR MOVIE!) Dang it! Oh, well…I still paid attention. "-Items of…" Ben cleared his throat, and paused while Lexi interrupted. "Historic and intrinsic value." Lexi finished. I nodded, and nudged 'Bill'. "Ah, yes. Very historical…"he cheered. I bit my tongue from laughing. We were making this movie interesting, ha-ha burn on the director! "Yes…" Ben said. Sending Lexi a grateful look. "You treasure hunters, aren't you?" Abigail inquired. I scoffed, "More like treasure protectors." I scoffed. She raised her eyebrows, smiling quite small at me. I sent her a smirk. "Mr. Brown, I have personally seen the back of the declaration of independence, and all there is, is a notation that reads 'original' declaration of independence dated-" She began.

"Four of July 1776, yes ma'm." Ben finished quoting with her. "But no map." She cleared up. I glared at my folded hands in my lap, stupid unbelieving mean declaration lady. Ben, looked over to me. I nodded, I didn't care we don't have anything to loose, might as well tell her It's invisible. "It's invisible." He whispered softly, Riley kicked me, "Mm." I growled. I'd get him back outside. He shot me a look that said way to make us sound like idiots! I rolled my eyes. He was such a wimp. Lex, could do better, than that. "Oh right…" She whispered, trying not to laugh at us. "It's true." I said. "And what led you to assume this?" She asked. "An engraving on the stem of a two-hundered year old pipe." Riley put in. "May I see the pipe?" She asked. It was my turn to kick Riley. Way to make us sound stupid! "We…don't have…it." Ben said. She leaned in and whispered, "Did Bigfoot take it?"

We stood. "It was nice meeting you." I said. "You too." She muttered sarcastically. "I was thinking we could go public." Riley suggested. "Plast the story all over the internet…it's not like…we have our reputations to worry about." He said. "I don't think that'll exactly scare Ian away." I pointed out. Ben ignored us. "One hundred and eighty years of searching, and I'm three feet away." Ben said. "Out of all the lines here there's one at the heart of the document." He said and quoted reading the line. "Huh?" I asked during the dramatic pause after he quoted hit. Lexi smiled and hit me. "Nice." She muttered. "It means, if something's wrong those who have the ability to take action, have the responsibility to take action." He said. "Duh Riley." I said. "What? Hey, you were the-"

"It's okay to be slow Riley." I said, smirking, as he glared at me. ONCE AGAIN Ben chose wisely to ignore us. "I'm gonna steal it. I'm gonna steal the declaration of independence." He said.
