Chapter Seven

"Ben!" Riley shouts.

"Ben, don't," says Kyle in a warning tone.

"What happens when the flare burn down? Tell me what I need to know, Ben," says Ian in a warning tone.

Ben thinks for a moment and then comes up with a quick idea.

"You need to know…if Shaw can catch." Ben states, throwing the flare towards Shaw.

Kyle closes her eyes waiting for the big explosion. But Ian catches the flare.

"Nice try though, Ben," he says pointing the flare at Ben.

The flare then decided to burst, catching Ian's hand on fire. He drops the flare into the gunpowder. Some of the gunpowder catches alight and starts burning. Riley jumps back falling on the ground. Ian and Shaw run to the door while Kyle helps Riley back up. Ben looks around and spots a door on the floor.

"Riley! Kyle!" he yells at them.

They both hurry over there just as Ben opens the little door.

"Get in!" he yells over the roar of the flames.

"What's this?" Riley asks.

"A smugglers hold now get in." Ben says.

All three of them get in and run down to another door. Ben closes it and the three of them all jump and cover their heads as the boat explodes and a huge roar is heard.

After a few moments, Kyle sits up and takes in a deep breath. Riley and Ben both get up and look around. Kyle lets out her breath and gets up herself.

"That was fun. Let's never do that again." she says sarcastically.

"Yes, let's." Riley agrees.

"There's and Inuit village about 9 miles east of here. It's popular with bush pilots," states Ben.

"Alright...then what are we going to do?" asks Riley.

"Start making our way back home," replies Ben.

"No, I meant about Ian. He's going to steal the Declaration of Independence, Ben," says Riley.

"Really?" Kyle looks at him.

Riley glares at him and looks back at Ben.

"Just so you two know…we stop him." Ben says and they start walking.

Kyle, Ben and Riley walk out of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building. Riley dressed up on a grey suit with him black converse topped off with his glasses. Kyle had on blue jeans, a black sweater that shows her shoulders and her very red heals. She too had on her black rimmed glasses. Ben was dressed a bit casual.

"Is it really that hard to believe someone is going to steal the Declaration of Independence?" asks Riley.

"The FBI gets 10,000 tips a week. They aren't going to worry about something they know is well protected," Kyle informs him.

"But anyone that can do anything is going to think we're crazy. And anyone crazy enough to believe us isn't going to want to help us," Riley goes on.

"Well, Ben, he's got a point there." she adds on, looking at Ben.

"We don't need someone who's crazy. But one step short of crazy and what do you get?" asks Ben.

"Obsessed," Kyle and Ryle both say.

"Passionate." Ben says simply, walking away, towards the National Archives.

Riley looks at Kyle confused and then follows Ben. Kyle sighs and follows too.What did I get myself into? she thinks a bit annoyed.

Yeah, she's on a great adventure with her best friend and Ben, but stuff could possibly get out of control.

Kyle spaced out while they waited to speak to Dr. Chase.

"Kyle? Anyone home?" came Riley's voice.

"Huh? What?" she looks at him a bit confused.

"We're going into the office, now. Are you okay, by the way?" he asks as they both stood up.

"Yeah, I'm fine." she replies with a smile.

"So, Mr. Brown?" Riley asks Ben.

"Family name doesn't get a lot of respect in the academic community." Bam answers as they walk over to office door.

"So, being kept down my the man." Riley adds as they walk into the room.

There stood a pretty blonde behind the desk, talking on her phone. She smiles and holds a finger up telling then one moment.

"A very cute man." Riley mumbles.

Kyle elbows him in the side and Riley just glares at her. The woman got off her phone and walks over to the three.

"Good afternoon." she says walking over to them.

"Hi." Riley says with a smile.

"Abigail Chase." she says, shaking Ben's hand.

"Paul Brown." he says and lies.

"Nice to meet you." Dr. Chase says with a smile.

She shakes Kyle's hand.

"Samantha Adams." Kyle lies.

Dr. Chase smiles and looks at Riley. "Uh…Bill." Riley spits out.

"Nice to meet you, Bill." she says a bit skeptically.

"How may I help you?" Abigail asks, standing behind her desk.

"You're accent. Pennsylvanian-Dutch?" Ben asks sitting down in a chair in front of Abigail's desk. Riley sits in the other chair, while Kyle stands behind Riley.
"Saxony-German." Abigail corrects looking at him with a small smirk.
"You're not American?" Riley asks confused.
Kyle slaps Riley's arm, trying to hold in her laughter. He always says stupid stuff like that.
"Oh, I'm American, I just wasn't born here. Please don't touch that." Abigail says a little harshly to Ben.

Ben is looking at her Washington collection.
"Sorry. Neat collection. George Washington's campaign buttons. You're missing the inaugural, though," he takes a breath, "I found one once.
"That's very fortunate of you, "Abigail says a little uninterested, "Now, you told my assistant that this is an urgent matter?"
Kyle can tell that this woman just wants to get to the damn point.

"Someone needs happy pills." Kyle whispers in Riley's ear.

Riley smiles and tries not to crack up.
"Yes, ma'am. Well, I'm going to get straight to the point." Ban starts.
"Someone's going to steal the Declaration of Independence." he says.

Kyle looks down and sighs. Abigail looks shocked and looks at Riley.
"Its true." he says in a simple tone.
She reaches for her phone. "I think I better put you touch with the FBI."
"We've already been to the FBI." Kyle says trying to convince her.
"And?" Abigail asks.
"They assured is that the Declaration cannot possibly be stolen." Ben says in a mono-tone.
Abigail sits down and leans back "They're right."
"But, my friends and I are less certain, "Ben says, "However, if we were given the privilege of examining this document, we would be able to tell if it were actually in any danger."

They wait for a reply.
"What do you think you're going to find?" she asks looking Ben suspiciously.
"We believe that there's eh, an encryption on the back." he replies uncertain of what to say.
"An encryption of what?" Abigail interrogates.
"A...cartograph." he says still a little uncertain.
"A map?" Abigail questions.
"Yes, ma'am." Ben says.
Kyle rolls her eyes. This woman has too many questions and it's annoying her.
"A map of what?" Abigail asks.

Jesus! Kyle thinks.
"The location of...of hidden items of historic and intrinsic value." Ben explains.
"A treasure map?" Abigail asks, not believing this.

Oh my GOD! Kyle is really getting irritated with questions.
She mutters, "That's where we lost the FBI."
You're treasure hunters, aren't you?" Abigail asks.
"More like treasure protectors." Ben replies, trying to sound certain of him self.
"Mr. Brown, I have personally seen the back of the Declaration of Independence, and I promise you, the only thing there is a notation that reads, Original Declaration of Independence,
dated...
" Ben finishes her sentence, "dates the fourth of July" yes, ma'am."
Kyle sits on the arm chair. Riley glares at her since he had to move his arm.
"But no map." Abigail says thinking she has proved her point.
A tense silence has entered the room. Ben opens and closes his mouth not sure how to tell her. Riley shakes his head and looks down. Kyle pats his back.
"It's...invisible." Ben finally says.
"That's where we lost the Department of Homeland security." Riley mumbles.
"What led you to assume there's this invisible map?" Abigail interrogates not believing what she's hearing at all.

"Shut up." Kyle whispers so no one could hear, but Riley heard her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"We found an engraving on the stem of a 200 year-old pipe." Kyle tries to explain.
"Owned by Freemasons." Riley adds in slightly smiling.
"May I see the pipe?" Abigail asks.
"We don't have it." Riley says slowly and admits.
Abigail leans forward in her chair, "Did Bigfoot take it?"

"Yeah, went to get stoned off his ass." Kyle retorts sarcastically.
"It was nice meeting you." Ben says getting up.

Kyle gets up and leaves the room, leaning against the wall. She really did not like the woman.

Riley and Ben walk out of the room.

"If it's any consolation, you had me convinced." Riley says to Ben.

"It's not." Ben replies as the three of them walk out to the main room and stand in from of the 200 year old document.

PLEASE review! I'll update ASAP!!!
