A/N: Hey guys chapter four is up now! Yay! Unfortunately my backspace key broke, and is unusable and my laptop is completely fried so I have been having no luck with my computers lately…I need Riley's help… speaking of riley here's the story! DISCLAIMER: As they always are and probably will be.
CHAPTER 3: LEXI'S POV:
So it was already Friday night, and we were all piled in Riley's van. This was very claustrophobic until Ben moved up front with him. I sat next to a very nervous Maddie, "It'll be alright." I assured her. "And what if it's not?" She hissed putting her mic. In her ear, and I put on my headset. "If not, good luck." I said shoving her beautiful ass out of the vehicle, along with Ben. "Are you so sure this will work?" Riley asked me setting up his laptop.
"Yes. Believe me. I've never been so sure in my life." I told him. He sighed "We'll let's get this show on the road." He said. I smiled. "That's the attitude Riles." I told him. He smiled playfully and threw a friendly punch at my arm.
Maddie managed to keep Ben in line without Riley having to interject a lot instead. This made me happy because of the following scene. "So, have you and Maddie been friends for long?" He asked. "Only for about forever. Since before we were born actually. Our mom's met in fraternity classes. Our birthdays are only one week apart." I admitted. "How about you and Ben?" I asked, though I pretty much knew the answer to that one. "Um, only a few months but we're definitely close." He said. "I feel…weird saying this, Lexi. But…" he trailed not sure how to put it. "I know we've only…known…each other for a short"
I kissed him. It just felt right. We sat cross legged on the floor of his van lip locked and started totally making out. I swung my arms up above his shoulders and he threw his around my waist until we heard Ben. "It's working…Guys…Lexi! Riley!" Ben's shouts erupted through our ear-pieces, causing us to jump back. I looked away over my left shoulder my hands dropped on the floor; Riley stared at the floor in front of him. I bit my lip. I cracked a smile and began to laugh a little. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ben. We're here. That's great." I said through laughter, soon Riley joined in and I had my arms around his waist and was leaning into him my head resting on his chest. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"No telling Ben." I whispered. "Not yet." Riley agreed. I sighed in content. "Did we just miss all that crap?" I asked. He grinned at me. "I think so. Hey, Ben where are we in the process?" Riley said. "The letters for her password. They're E, R, Y, O, A, F, G, L, V." He huffed. "Maddie?" I checked. "Still here, Lexi. Now just have Riley do his magic search thingy and we can get it and go." She snapped. "Me-ow, honey. Child; you need to get over your attitude or get a new one." I told her. When I said 'Child' it was code for don't get on my nerves I'm feeling distracted. Riley smiled at me and moved a lock of my brown-ish-blonde hair out of my face. I smiled warmly back up at him. "Searching the letters, E, R, Y, O, A, F, G, L, V." He responded lifting me off of him. I didn't want to be moved but I knew we sort of didn't get together in the best of ways really…While I was fantasizing about Riley and my own future I suddenly heard Riley's voice arise in panic. "I lost my feed. I have nothing, I don't know where anyone is, I have noth-nothing- Ben I have nothing." He panicked. I leaned back up and rested my hand on his shoulder. Next I heard Maddie's voice. "What? How are we going to-whoa. I so underestimated you." Maddie said. "What? How's the-"
"He's taking the whole thing." Maddie said less toody this time. "Well is it heavy?" Riley wondered. I smiled. "I'm guessing yes." I told him. "You don't know that." He mumbled. I grinned. "Maybe. Maybe, not." I told him. Suddenly we heard gun shots. "Maddie! Ben! Guys! Are you okay?" I shouted over the gun shots. "Who's shooting? Ian? Cops?" Riley asked. I knew it was Ian, but I had to know Maddie made sure Ben would be okay and she made herself okay so as not to screw up any of the plot. "We're fine." Ben answered. "Ian was shooting, he's here. We'll be out in a minute. Maddie stay close." He whispered.
Riley and I climbed into the front seat getting ready for Ben, when we felt like he was taking too long of a time. "Riley?" I asked. "Hmm?" He turned towards me, and I sat up and kissed him again causing us to fall into another make out scene. Life sometimes could really treat you right, sometimes it gives you money. Other times it gave you power. I got Riley's tongue in my mouth. Best one of all of them. For. Sure.
MADDIE'S POV:
I quickly ran out of the souvenir shop seeing Ben had left. Oops. Dr. Chase had the declaration! "Bella, move!" she shouted the next. Thing I knew Ian's men were all over me and Dr. Chase! One grabbed my waist the other grabbed Dr. Chase's. "Hey! Yo! Whoa! No!" I said beginning to struggle against his grip. I and Dr. Chase were suddenly in the van. "Hey! Let Me go!" I shrieked kicking to get out. Ian smirked at Dr. Chase, and me. "Maddie; why don't you tell your friend to pass me that document? And she can go home." Ian said. Hey! What about me? Oh no we Are NOT playing kidnap the teenager tonight we were going to get out of this. Dr. Chase gave me a pleading look. I looked back at Ian. "Nah I'll just excuse mysel-"
Ian slid his arm around my waist restraining me from the door and putting me in an awkward situation. He looked me dead in the eyes and smirked as I paled and then pinked. My expression must have been pretty good because he whispered into my ear his breath hot and deep, "I won't bite- if you're on my good side that is." I was practically shaking. He actually was sure that this would work! And I was fairly sure it'd be hard to get out of. "Victor move!" he called not taking his eyes off of me. No! I wanted to scream but I couldn't find my voice yet. He looked me up and down scrutinizing me. He smiled pleased somehow..."How's about we look at that clue together, yeah?" Ian brushed my cheek and suddenly my knees buckled. Wait! No Maddie quit it! As if she read my thoughts Dr. Chase hit me with the declaration. "Ow." I murmured. She grabbed my wrist and I read her plan through her eyes. "Me first." I mouthed she sprung into action wanting to be first. "She's got the declaration!" Ian said stopping Shaw from shooting at Dr. Chase. He grabbed the declaration as Dr. Chase had a fail as she swung on the door and Ian grabbed the Declaration just like that! He slid his arms around me to prevent me from maneuvering the same way. "No!" I shouted finally having found my voice again. "Let go!" I shouted. He was totally calm and whispered into my ear once more "You might be okay- if you stop struggling." He was evidently angry. I struggled but it was no use. He had a painful grip on me and wasn't planning on letting go any time soon. This was bad. He passed me on to Shaw, and made sure the he had a tight grip on me before letting me go to see the declaration was a fake! What? How could-
"Did you know about this?" Ian barked at me now very, very angry. "I- no! Otherwise I would have let you taken it!" I shrieked terrified now struggling more than ever against Shaw's grip. It still was no use. He slapped me across the face and I shouted in pain. Shaw's other hand clamped over my mouth. Before I knew it my hands were tied together and I nearly fell over if Ian hadn't caught me. I bit my lip. This was soooo not good. He stood me up and I slid on the floor ready to completely give up. I needed help. I knew that if I called out though I'd be gagged and that wouldn't really help me. I just sat there, frozen, and completely helpless.
Ian pov:
I stood over the petrified teen as we made our way back to the apartment. When we parked I hauled Maddie to her feet and sliced through the duct tape binding her hands. I took an iron grip around her waist jumping down from the truck. I crushed her body against mine, and put my other hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. Damn she looked hot now. She tried to struggle but I made sure she didn't move a muscle. I had thought when she had struggled in the van; we have her why not keep her? So I made sure of that. She was very attractive in that dress. As we turned up in the hall of my apartment I shoved her over to Powell so I could unlock the door. She seemed terrified and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt scaring her like this but I couldn't let her call the shots. I had to show her who was the boss. As soon as we stepped in the apartment she escaped my arm. I grabbed her arm before she could make a run, I pulled her in and she crashed into my chest. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her right near me. "Let go of me!" She shouted. I quickly threw one of my hands over her mouth; she shook her head in protest to this. I decided to take a different approach. Politely having her stop struggling. I kept my hand over her mouth and decided how to handle her. "Relax." I whispered softly in her ear. Her struggling slowed to a stop. "It's alright, dear." I whispered. She was breathing very hard and a few tears slipped out of her eyes and down her cheeks, which I felt bad about. I carried her over to an armchair in the room and set her down. I grabbed her shoulders from behind her. "Are you going to behave yourself, now?" I asked genuinely hoping the answer would be yes. I didn't want to have to tie her hands and ankles but if I had to I would. She scowled and I took it as a yes. I sat down on the coffee table, barley a foot away from her. I started to absentmindedly stroke her hair. I kept on thinking on what to do now that Gates has the Declaration, and I have Maddie. I couldn't even think about trade…she was worth more than just a piece of old paper. Her breathing got a little off beat, I could tell I surprised her by even touching her. "What's the matter?" I whispered, smiling. "N-nothing." She stuttered. I moved my hand down her cheek, tracing out her face. It took all my willpower in that moment not to kiss her. Or even touch her with my lips. I stood, and walked over to Shaw and whispered, "Watch her and make sure she doesn't move." I went to the other room and got a laptop. When I came back she was sulking in the same spot as before. "Why so down, sweetheart?" I smirked at the sulking, scowling teenager. She glanced up at me and glared at me, "Hmm, I wonder why anyone would be upset being held against their will here with you." She snapped. "What's wrong hanging with the rebels every once in a while?" I teased. "I'd hardly call it hanging with you." She retorted. "Why don't you just sit there and look pretty while I look up this clue?" I suggested smirking at her dress. When she didn't respond I could tell I hit a soft spot, which definitely kept her quiet. I opened the laptop and searched for answers to the clue. After about an hour or so of searching the internet I found something. "Look at this." I pointed out. "Letters wrote, by Benjamin Franklin, to his brother the head of the New England Current newspaper. He signed them all, 'your humble servant Silence Doogood'." I informed the guys. "And this relates…how?" Maddie asked. I rolled my eyes, at how the youth of today always seemed to miss the obvious. "The key in Silence undetected. Why would Silence be capitalized, if it wasn't a name?" I narrowed my eyes towards her. "It could be any form of proper noun." She snapped. "It's the letters." I growled impatiently. She gave up battling with me. Sooner rather than later she fell asleep in her chair. All the other men had gone to bed and I was the only one awake. I felt around in her purse and confiscated her phone, and slid off her shoes that looked hot but uncomfortable. I picked up Maddie's sleeping form and before setting she on my own bed kissed her gently on the forehead. "Good night, Maddie." I whispered before shutting the door.
