As we walked through the documents that were on display Riley said "If there's any comfort you had me convinced."

"You sounded pretty believable to me, so I agree with Riley" I said following them.

Ben looked at me and said "Thanks, but its not."

"Well I was going to suggest that what if we go global and post it all over the Internet. Although, I'm pretty sure that's not going to scare Ian away" Riley suggested.

We all stopped in front of the Declaration of Independence and I stood next to Ben staring at it while Riley stood behind us.

"A thousand years worth of history and I'm standing three feet away."

Ben then started resiting something from the Declaration before saying "Nobody talks like that anymore."

Riley gave a sigh and said "Beautiful. No idea what you said."

"It means that those who are able to take action, also have the responsibility to take action."

"What are you saying Ben" I asked him, seeing him thinking deeply.

"I'm gonna steal it. I'm going to steal the Declaration of Independence" he said before walking out.

Riley gave a small laugh before saying "What?"

We found Ben sitting on the steps outside the memorial of President Lincoln sitting on the chair (think back of the penny).

"Ben what gave you this insane idea to think this" Riley asked.

"Look, Ian is going to try to steal the Declaration, and if he succeeds he'll burn it. The only way to protect the document is to steal it, its upside down" Ben said frustrated.

"Ben, for goodness sakes, stealing the Declaration is like stealing him, it can't be done, not that it shouldn't be done, it can't be! Let me proof it to you" Riley said.

As we followed Riley to the red van I turned to Ben and said "Ben you do realize how dangerous this is, and not to mention how much jail time we're probably going to have to spend."

"Yeah, but I'm still going through with it, do you realize what would happen if Ian managed to burn it" he asked as we crossed the parking lot.

"Yes I do, and I was just going to say is that I'm in."

"Ben we'll talk about this later" I said as we reached the van, where my brother was in the drivers seat impatiently.

"Yes we will" he said as he walked around to the passengers side.

I got into the back and as we drove I noticed that we were heading toward the Library of Congress. My guess was right when we pulled into the biggest library in the world. We got out and sat waiting for Riley as he got some books. I brushed a piece of my black hair out of my face. Not too soon after Riley left he came back with four huge books.

"Ben I have brought you here to the Library of Congress, why? Because it is the largest library in the world, filled with millions of books. There's plumber manuals, phone records, and missing blue print layers, and they are all saying the same thing: Listen to Riley. Alright what I have here is the layout of the Declaration when it's on display. Now when it is on display it is surrounded by guards, video monitors which are filled with many access and denial codes, families, little children from Iowa, eighth graders on field trips, and inside the case are heat sensors that will go off if anyone gets too close with a high fever" Riley said.

Ben looked at him and said "You know Thomas Edison tried and failed over 2,000 times on trying to conduct the light bulb."

"Edison?"

"He said I didn't fail. He only needed one idea to make it work. The Preservation Room go ahead enjoy."

"Preservation room" I asked looking at the layouts.

"Do either of you know what the preservation room is for?"

"Delicious jams and jellies" Riley asked.

"Isn't the preservation room used for keeping important documents preserved" I asked.

Ben smiled at me and I felt myself blush and he said "That's right. When the document is not on display it is lowered down into a steel vault. The best time for us, or Ian, to steal it would be during the Gala which is taking place this Saturday, because the guards would be distracted by the party upstairs, we would make our way down to the preservation room where there is much less security."

"Well...Ian...preservation? You know this just might work" Riley said after looking through things.

"It might."
