Four years later . . .

Stacy and Monique were at a café drinking coffee, catching up with one another. Stacy had cut her hair to a little bit past her shoulders.

"So how's life with Riley?" Monique said, stretching Riley's name in a teasing fashion.

"Very good, thanks for asking." Stacy retorted to her friend.

"I'm just glad you don't have any bruises on you anymore. When you were dating Ian, I was ready to call the police from all of the bruises you got." Monique said, sipping her coffee.

"They were bruises from us having hot, passionate sex. I've told you that before." Stacy told her.

"You guys must have been really creative with your lovemaking then, because those things were everywhere." Monique said, still not believing her.

"But me and Riley are doing fine. I'm doing everything that I didn't do with Ian so that our relationship doesn't crash and burn. There's no sex, no moving in together right away, and no treasure hunting." Stacy counted the things off on her fingers.

"But he was a treasure hunter."

"Was being the key word there. He's happy with the money he has now, he's not going to go after more." Stacy told her.

"Whatever. I'm sure he's just happy he's dating a supermodel."

"Yeah. Ian has no idea what he's missing out on." Stacy took a sip from her coffee.

"There you go again, talking about Ian. You broke up with him four years ago! He's in jail now with my cousin and those other guys! Why are you still talking about him?"

"Because he broke my heart. He neglected me. I just want to make my life as good as it can be without him in it. He's my motivation, making my life better by having me want to make it better to show him what he missed out on." Stacy explained.

"Just don't talk about him near Riley or else he'll get jealous." Monique said.

Riley was playing the latest computer game on his laptop when his phone rang. He quickly picked it up and put it between his ear and shoulder as he continued to play intensely.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Riley, thank god you answered. I need your help with something." Ben's voice on the other side said.

"Help with what?" An explosion was heard from the computer screen along with the words "Level up".

"Riley, what are you doing?"

"Playing one of my 'nerd games' as you call them. Why did you call?"

Ben suddenly remembered the reason he had called. "Oh yeah. There's another treasure I want to find."

"What? Atlantis? The Fountain of Youth?" Riley teased.

"No. Bonnie and Clyde were supposed to have hidden all of the money and stuff they had stolen somewhere before they died and I want to find it." Ben told him. "It's supposed to be really big and-"

"No one believes that it exists. But why do you need my help? I don't know history." Riley interrupted him.

"Well it's not the treasure I need your help with. It's getting around the law. I need Ian and his resources to find this treasure, Riley."

Riley froze and the phone slipped from it's place under his ear. His character in the game died from his lack of involvement.

"Riley? I need you to look up anyway I can legally get Ian out. Or call Sadusky. . . . Riley?" Ben's voice called from the phone.

So this chapter was just to introduce the plot. Sorry it's short. The next chapter will be up ASAP.
