Chapter 11
When I awoke the next morning, I realized we were already in the van heading towards Bunker Hill.
"Well, Sleeping Beauty is finally awake," Ian smiled.
"Ha ha. Is that your way of trying to get my affection?" I asked sarcastically.
"Very cute. I think you've been around Riley too much," Ian stated.
"Bite me," I grumbled.
The rest of the ride was silent.

Ben, Abigail, and Riley were waiting at Bunker Hill.
"He should have been here by now," Riley mumbled.
"Riley he'll be here," Ben reassured.
"If he doesn't get here soon, I will personally hunt him down," Riley stated.
As if on cue, Ian's van pulled up. Ian got out and pulled me out.
"Good morning Ben," Ian greeted.
"Ian cut the crap and hand Becca over," Riley demanded.
"Oh very forceful Riley," Ian smiled sarcastically.
Ian let go of my arm and I ran over into Riley's waiting arms.
"Are you okay?" Riley asked.
"Yes," I told him.
"Alright now if were done with the little chick flick moments, lets go find the treasure," Ian stated.
We all went up Bunkers Hill.
"How do we find it?" Riley asked.
"I don't know," Ben sighed, "I think there is an opening, we just have to find it."
That is when I noticed a hole about a few feet to the right of me.
"I think that is our opening," I pointed out.
They all turned to where I was pointing. We walked over to it.
"It looks big enough," Ben stated.
"Who wants to go down the creepy tunnel inside the tomb first?" I asked.
"That's my line," Riley retorted.
"I know," I smiled.
They all started arguing about who would go first. I finally got fed up.
"For Petes sake. I will go!" I shouted over them.
I grabbed a flashlight and dropped down before anyone could stop me. I turned on the flashlight and looked around. My Tomb Raider/ National Treasure instincts kicked in. I scanned the area for any potential dangers and if there was another way to continue.
"Becca, are you okay?" Riley shouted.
"Yeah! You guys can drop down!" I yelled back up.
They all dropped down. Ian's men all drew flashlights. So did Ben.
"Where do we go?" Riley asked.
"I think we only have on option. Straight," I pointed out.
Ben led us down, with Ian behind him, Abigail next, Derek, Tim, Greg, David, and me and Riley bringing up the rear. I wasn't really paying attention to anything. I was more concerned about the necklace poking out of Riley's pocket.
"What's that in your pocket?" I asked Riley in a whisper.
"Ben and Abigail found it in Boston's Harbor. They think it has something to do with the treasure," Riley explained in a whisper, "you wear it."
He quickly took it out and I put it on. I hid it in my shirt so Ian wouldn't see it. If this was away to get the treasure Ian was not getting it. I'd make sure of it. We continued on for awhile. We finally came upon a door that had some inscription in it. It was the same shape as the necklace.
"How do we get in?" Derek asked.
"I don't know," Ben lied knowing exactly how to get in.
Ian caught on.
"I know you're lying Ben," Ian made known.
"I swear Ian I have no idea how to get in," Ben swore.
Ian nodded to Greg and Greg grabbed Riley and put a gun to his temple.
"Tell me how to get in, or watch Riley die," Ian warned.
"Ian I really don't know," Ben tried to reason.
"Wrong answer," Ian replied.
Greg pressed the gun harder against Riley's temple. Riley grunted in pain and tried to get away, but Greg held on tightly.
"Ben don't tell him anything," Riley told Ben.
"Ben tell me or he dies," Ian reminded.
"Ben if you love me you will tell this crazy bastard to go to hell," Riley stated.
"How can I not tell him?" Ben asked Riley.
Greg pulled the safety back. Riley closed his eyes tightly waiting for pain.
"I know how to get in," I finally spoke.
