National Treasure: My Story

by avij14

This is just a story I wrote about how the story would be if I added myself and my best friend in it. The prologue and epilogue are dialogue between my fictional daughter, Chloe and a few other characters, including me. This is supposed to be me telling the story to her, although I call the characters in the story part as I would actually call them. Hope you like it! My first story

13. The Plan

Chapter 12: The Plan

About thirty minutes after the phone call, Ian and his men pulled up in their cars. Ian walked up to us and said, "I believe introductions are in order here."

"I'm Abigail. I'm the one who almost fell out of your van after Ben stole the Declaration."

"Oh yes," Ian said shaking Abigail's hand, "I remember you." He turned to Hannah and me and said, "And you two are the ones I saw in the van with Ben and Riley. What are your names?"

"I'm Aviana," I said shaking his hand, "and this is my best friend, Hannah."

"Nice to meet you," Ian said shaking Hannah's hand. "So let's get to planning."

"Do you have any ideas as to what to do?" Hannah asked.

"Well," Ian began, "believe it or not, I actually have been involved in some plans to get my men out of FBI custody. So I have some experience in this area."

"What is the best way to go about this?" Abigail asked.

"Well, before I would just go a more direct route by breaking them out of prison or something like that. However this time, I have a safer approach. Since I have the Declaration and the pipe from the Charlotte, I can call Ben, and have him meet me at the USS Intrepid in New York. We'll have Ben somehow get to a place where he can jump off of the ship, and I'll have one of my men meet him underwater with an air tank. He has a diving degree, so that shouldn't be a problem for him. Then we will bring him back to someplace in New York."

"How will we relay this plan to Ben?" Abigail asked, "We couldn't tell him over the phone since the FBI would be listening in, and I'm sure they'd have a mike on him when he meets you."

"We have a device that can temporarily interfere with Ben's mike. We'll tell him what to do, then we'll disable the device."

"That sounds like it should work," Abigail said.

"Now, where does that clue you found at Independence Hall lead us?"

"Actually, it does lead us to New York," Abigail said.

"Where exactly in New York?"

"At the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway."

"Alright. I'll drop you two off there, go get Ben, and come back over there. Ok?"

"Deal," we all said.

"Well, the four of you hop in Phil's car. Viktor and McGregor have to head back to D.C. to pick up something for me, but will be back in time to meet Ben with me. And Shaw and I will ride together and call Ben on the ride to New York."

"Okie dokie," I replied while piling into the car. Abigail sat upfront, while I was in between Riley and Hannah in the back. I talked to Riley some more on the ride to New York. Occasionally, Abigail would turn around and talk to us too. It was late by the time we got to New York, so Phil drove the car to a secure location, and parked it and we slept in the car that night. I enjoyed the opportunity to catch up on some much needed rest. That is, when I wasn't awakened by Riley or Hannah's head falling onto my shoulder. I'm sure I looked like a sleep deprived cartoon with out of control hair and blood shot eyes by the time morning came. At around seven, Phil dropped us off at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway. We found an internet café with a view of the intersection, and Riley went in and got some things set up so we could make sure Ian didn't try to go against his word. Then we just sat and waited for the time Ben was expected to be on his way.
