Just then, Ben's cell phone starts ringing. Sadusky picks it up off of the desk. The other agents get signals for their tracking devices. When everything is ready, Sadusky gives the phone to Ben.

"Yes?" says Ben answering the phone and looking at Sadusky.

Sadusky picks up a headset to listen in.

"Hello, Ben. How are you?" Ian says from the other end.

"I'm chained to a desk," Ben replies.

"Sorry to hear that. I want you to meet me on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid. You know where that is?" says Ian.

"New York."

"Meet me there at 10:00 tomorrow morning. And bring those glasses you found at Independence Hall. Yeah, I know about the glasses. Bianca told me about them. We can take a look at the Declaration and then you can be on your way," states Ian.

Ben gives a dry laugh.

"Yeah, like I'm supposed to believe that," he says.

"I told you from the start. I only wanted to borrow it. You can have it, and the glasses. I'll even throw in the pipe from the Charlotte," says Ian.

Ben looks back up at Sadusky and he nods.

"I'll be there," says Ben.

"And tell the FBI agents listening in on this call, if they want the Declaration back, and not just in a box of confetti, then you come alone," says Ian and hangs up the phone.

Ben hangs up his phone and looks at Sadusky.

"Believe me now?" Ben asks him.

"Yes, I do," says Sadusky.

They police put Ben in a holding cell for the night. Riley and Abigail take a bus to New York and stay somewhere for the night. Bianca gets to sit in the back seat of the car (that's parked somewhere in New York) with Ian and Shaw.

She tries desperately not to fall asleep.

The next morning, the agents take the handcuffs off of Ben and give him a secret microphone and earpiece. They head up to New York in about 3 different vans.

Sadusky and Agent Michaels sit in an unmarked van near the USS Intrepid and look at Ben through monitors. There's a helicopter hovering around the ship to keep cameras on Ben. There are also 3 agents on the deck of the ship to keep an eye on Ben.

"Gates is on the flight deck," says one of the agents on deck, looking through some binoculars.

Ben walks around the ship and starts looking around. In his earpiece, he hears Sadusky instructing his men.

"Eyes on Gates. Do not loose sight of primary mark," says Sadusky.

There's some more talking between agents.

"Gates. Stay with the program," says Sadusky to Ben.

"I hope all your agents are all under 4 feet tall and wearing little scarves," says Ben referring to the pack of Boy Scouts that just passed him, "otherwise Ian's gonna know they're here."

"As soon as he shows you the Declaration, we'll move in. Don't try anything. Just let us handle it," says Sadusky.

"You know, Agent Sadusky, something I've noticed about fishing: it never works out so well for the bait," says Ben looking around.

An unauthorized helicopter starts flying into the area. The agents try to figure out what's going on.

"Gates, are you with me?" Sadusky asks Ben.

"Well, I'm sure not against you, if that's what you're asking," says Ben walking towards the bow.

Ben's mike then gets some interference and Shaw walks up next to Ben.

"Hello, Ben," says Shaw holding a video camera and looking like a tourist, "Thomas Edison only needed one way to make a light bulb. Sound familiar?"

Ben looks at him out of the corner of his eye.

Just then the unauthorized helicopter flies really close to the deck.

"Go to the starboard observation point behind the F-16 and here's what you do. Jump overboard and a diver will be there to get you away," explains Shaw, yelling over the helicopter.

Shaw quickly gets away from Ben, signaling to the helicopter to vacate the area.

Sadusky keeps trying to get a hold of Ben through the earpiece. Ben starts walking to the F-16, which is located at the stern of the ship.

"Gates? Gates? Who's got Gates? All agents report in," Sadusky asks everyone through their earpieces, "Did Gates speak to anybody?"

"Target is moving," says the agent in the helicopter.

"He's heading towards the stern," says one of the other agents on the deck.

"I've got him. He's coming this way," says another.

"Anyone got a view of our friend Ian Howe?" asks Sadusky.

"No, Ian Howe is not at the stern, sir," an agent states.

"Then why is he heading there?" Sadusky asks.

Ben ducks underneath the tip of the F-16 and stands at the observation area.

"Sadusky. I'm still not against you. But I found door number 3 and I'm taking it," says Ben leaning on the railing.

"Move in! Move in on Gates!" instructs Sadusky.

Ben hears this and jumps over the side of the Intrepid and into the Hudson River. Ben looks around in the murky water until someone grabs his leg. The diver gives him air supply and they grab onto a rocket looking thing and zoom through the water. Ben and the diver reach the surface far away from the Intrepid. They swim over to a ladder and Ben climbs it.

"Hello, Ben. Welcome to New Jersey," says Shaw when Ben gets to the top.

They walk into an empty parking garage and find 2 others standing by a car. Shippen goes into the trunk.

"What did you do with Abigail and Riley? And where's Bianca?" Ben asks.

"Hope these fit," says Shippen handing Ben some dry clothes and closing the trunk.

"I said what did you do with Abigail, Riley and Bianca? Bianca and Riley are the only ones who could have told you that line about Edison," says Ben getting angry.

"Did you bring the glasses?" Shaw asks.

"I don't know, tell me what's happening here," demands Ben.

"Ask your girlfriend. She's the one calling all the shots now. She won't shut up," says Shaw opening the door to the car.

Ben grins and changes into the clothes that Shippen gave him. Ben jumps into the backseat and sits in between Shaw and Shippen. Phil is driving and when everyone gets in, they drive to meet Ian.

Bianca is sitting in the car with Ian at the corner of Wall Street and Broadway. The SUV is parked across the street. Ian had sent Shaw to go somewhere to get someone or something. Bianca wasn't quite sure what. Ian gets out of the car and walks to the other side and opens Bianca's door.

"Come on. We have to move you out of this car," says Ian looking around.

Bianca slides over to the edge of the car and stands up. Her ankle cracks as soon as she stands up and almost falls over, but Ian catches her.

"Take it easy," he says, grinning.

Bianca rolls her eyes.

Ian puts a coat over Bianca's taped hands so no one sees and leads her across the street to the SUV.

Victor was sitting in the front and waiting for Ian to come over. He gets out of the car and opens the passenger's side door.

Ian takes the coat off of Bianca's hands.

"Get in," he says.

Bianca gets in, no questions asked. Victor shuts the door and Ian goes back over to the car. Bianca sighs and stares down at her hands.

"Bianca?" says a voice behind her.

She turns around in the seat.

"Mr. Gates? W-what are you doing here?" she asks.

"I've actually been kidnapped this time," he says.

"Yeah, me too," says Bianca laughing slightly and holding up her tapped hands.

"How'd he get you?" asks Patrick.

"Riley, Dr. Chase, and I were running from Shaw and Victor. I took a tumble and they went without me," She explains shrugging, "You?"

"I'm Ben's father. Need any more explained?" Patrick asks.

"No, that's enough," says Bianca, grinning slightly.

The window was opened slightly and Victor heard them talking. He turns to the window.

"Shut up," he says to Bianca.

"No," she says forcefully.

Victor pulls a gun slightly out of his pocket.

"How 'bout now?" he asks her.

"Okay," she says gulping.

She turns back in the seat and waits.

Abigail and Riley are hiding out in an internet café across from where Ian is pacing near the car. They had just arrived there so they didn't see Bianca change cars.

Abigail takes out a cell phone and calls Shaw's phone.

"Hello?" says Shaw on the other end.

"Ben please," says Abigail.

Shaw passes the phone over the Ben.

"Hi, sweetie. How's your day going?" Abigail asks Ben.

"Interesting dear. So what, you're working with Ian now?" asks Ben.

"Turns out helping someone escape from FBI custody is a criminal act. He's the only criminal we knew, so we called him and made him a deal," explains Abigail.

"You're...you're alright yeah? I mean you're safe?" Ben asks hesitantly.

"Yeah, we both are. We haven't seen Bianca yet, though, but Riley's here doing something clever with a computer," she says walking over to Riley.

"I'm tracking him through the...hey!" Riley says as Abigail puts the phone to his ear, "I'm tracking you through the GPS in Shaw's Phone. They take a turn anywhere we don't want and we'll know it," Abigail starts to take the phone away from his ear, "So don't worry," he mumbles.

"If Ian tries to double cross us, we can call the FBI and tell them right where you are. And where to find Ian," explains Abigail looking out the window towards Ian.

"And where's that?" asks Ben.

"Right across the street from where we're hiding. At the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway," says Abigail.

"Well, you figured out the clue," says Ben enthusiastically.

"Simple. 'Heere at the Wall'. Wall Street and Broadway. Bianca figured it out too, or else Ian wouldn't even be here. Ben, there is a catch. We made Ian believe that he could have the treasure. It was the only way we could get this far," says Abigail solemnly.

"He's here," says Riley.

Abigail hangs up the phone and watches from their position.

A/N: So there was some more creepy Ian in this chapter...not as much as before, but could still be classified as creepy (in my book anyway).
