A/N: First I want to thank all my wonderful readers and reviewers. Thanks so much to Phillipfan24, Crystal-Wolf-Guardian-967, and DarkFireAngel00 (I totally agree!)! Also I just want to say this was a pretty speedy update ;) haha. Now I come before you with a question an important question that will dramatically affect the next chapter. I don't know why, but I really wanted to kind of put some more legit romance between Riley and Torree. I was thinking maybe a little on the extreme side if you don't feel it's too much. I can make a sort of a oneshot that won't have any important information and you guys don't have to read or maybe not EXTREME extreme but a little (if that makes any sense) or maybe not at all. So what are your opinions drop me a line and let me know. :) Enjoy!

Ben, Riley, and Torree were in the Library of Congress, because Riley was trying to convince Ben that there was no possible way he could steal the Declaration of Independence (Torree was there because well she was just along for the ride).

"Okay Ben pay attention. I brought you to the Library of Congress. Why? Because it's the biggest library in the world. Over 20 million books. And they are all saying the same thing: Listen to Riley," Riley began pointing things out in the many books he had open, "What we have here my friend is an entire layout of the Archives. We've got builder's blue prints, we have construction orders, phone lines, water and sewage. It's all here. Now, when the declaration is on display, it is surrounded by guards and video monitors, and little families from Iowa, and little kids on their 8th grade field trip. And beneath an inch of bullet proof glass is an army of sensors and heat monitors that will go off if someone gets too close with a high fever. Now when it's not on display, it is lowered into a 4 feet thick concrete steel plated vault that happens to be equipped with an electronic combination lock and biometric access and denial systems."

Riley had made it clear, to Torree at least, that he had done some research. She was kind of impressed and from the blush on Riley's face she was sure he had noticed.

"You know Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2,000 times to develop the carbonized cotton filament for the incandescent light bulb." Ben informed him.

"Edison?" Riley obviously was not aware of where Ben was going with this.

"And when asked about it he said 'I didn't fail, I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb", but he only needed to find one way to make it work. The preservation room. Enjoy. Go ahead. Do you know what the preservation room is for?" Ben asked as he handed Riley an open book.

Torree was intrigued as well, so Torree moved closer to Riley brushing her arm against his as she tried to get a better view of the book. Riley did not mind of course.

"Delicious jams and jellies?" Riley obviously did not know the answer. Torree giggled. The melodic sound was intoxicating to Riley and he now had to struggle to keep his focus.

"That's where they clean, repair, and maintain all the documents and storage housings when they aren't on display or in the vault. Now when the case needs work, they take it out of the vault and directly across the hall into the preservation room. The best time for us or Ian to steal it would be during the Gala this weekend, when the guards are distracted by the V.I.P.s upstairs. But we'll make our way to the preservation room where there is much less security." Ben explained.

Riley began to flip through the pages in the book Ben had previously handed him, "Huh… well if Ian… preservation room… gala… This might be possible."

"It might." Ben concluded.

"Well you have me convinced." Torree smiled.

"I'm not sure if it would be the best idea for you to get involved in all of this…" Ben told her cautiously.

Torree's smile faded instantly, "Seriously?"

Her saddened gaze switched from Ben to Riley.

"I mean… I don't think you really want to be involved in this…" Riley tried to tell her.

"I'm pretty sure I'm already involved. When the Declaration is stolen you guys are probably going to be the first suspects… they took mine name too… please." Torree begged.

Ben sighed and smirked a little bit, he was a decent friend, "I think since you're staying with Riley it's his call."

Torree looked up at Riley hopefully. Riley smiled a bit, "If you want-"

Torree grabbed his face and planted a quick but hard kiss on Riley's lips, "Thank you!"

Then she quickly hugged Ben (Riley wasn't really a fan of that part, but then again it was better than her kissing Ben), "Thank you too!"

Ben laughed and shook his head slightly. He was a little shocked at the kiss she had given Riley. Riley was obviously a little surprised to, but he did not pull away and this led Ben to assume something had happened and that was the reason Riley was not THAT surprised. Ben hated to admit, but the extreme redness on Riley's face was somewhat amusing.
