I am trying to get these in quicker. Like many of you, I LOVE RILEY! So that motivates me to write more for this story. The story isn't just about him; it's about the treasure, and Ben and Abby and of course, Miss Ivy. Thanks to all the generous and fantastic reviews! (sarahofearth, the constant quoting makes me laugh. It's great!)

They were headed for Philadelphia. Patrick Gates did say that he donated them to the Franklin Institution, so naturally, that was where they went.

Ben and Abby immediately went to go get some new clothes, as they were still in eveningwear. Riley was stuck with Ivy, and they both went to the Franklin Institution.

"I still can't believe Ben let you come along," Riley complained as they crossed the street, "It's just more trouble for the police."

"Whose side are you on, Einstein?" Ivy snapped, "You should consider my joining of your Founding Fathers Conspiracy Theory Posse to your advantage."

Riley frowned, "In what way?"

Ivy rolled her eyes, "Seriously, would anyone suspect ME to be interested in American History? Come on, you have to admit it. I could go inside and check out the letters, and then we're good to go. Brilliant, is it not?"

"No, it's not," Riley replied as they walked over to the park, "People will definitely suspect something."

"You always gotta make things harder for everyone, don't you?" Ivy retorted.

"If you haven't noticed, I can't stand you. Therefore, you're the only one I make things difficult for."

"Well, I am honored."

"Freak."

"Geek."

The two of them sat down on a bench and took out the pad of paper Ben had used earlier to write out the code. Riley unfolded it and frowned.

"I can't go in there, and you can't go in there. What are we going to do?" Riley bit his lip and put on his glasses.

Ivy took the time to look around the park. She saw a little boy sitting on a bench not too far away from them.

Riley glanced at her, "What are you looking at?"

Ivy stood up, "Opportunity."

Riley was about to grab her, but Ivy was well on her way over to the boy. He was listening to a CD-player. Ivy casually glanced at the CD, and smiled when she recognized the band.

"Simple Plan, huh?" Ivy asked him, "They're pretty good. I like, "Addicted."

The boy looked at Ivy, "I'm Just a Kid is my favorite song."

Ivy smiled, "That's a good one. Hey, listen, my friend and I need your help. Could you do us a favor?"

"I can't believe we're paying this kid to check out the Silence Dogood letters." Riley said in disbelief.

"I know. You must admit that it was a smart move. Who would suspect a KID?" Ivy said with a flashy smile. Besides annoying him, being smarter than Riley was now one of her favorite things to do.

Riley tapped his pencil on the newspaper while they waited, "Hey, if it was your idea, how come I'm the one paying him?"

Ivy cocked an eyebrow, "Obviously, because you're the only one out of the two of us that has money."

Riley was about to have a witty remark when the boy came running across the street.

"S, S, A, N, D." The boy said

"Ok," Riley jotted it down, "You sure this is right?"

The boy shot Riley a look. Ivy laughed. Riley ignored them both and wrote out the letters on the side of the newspaper.

"No, N." The kid said, pointed to the scribbly lettering otherwise known as Riley's printing.

"That is an N." Riley replied.

"It doesn't look like an N." The kid said earnestly.

"He's right, it looks like an R." Ivy said.

Riley was now irritated by them both, "You know what, here. Last one. One more dollar."

"Thank you!" The kid snipped the bill from Riley's fingers and ran off.

"It doesn't really look like an N." Ivy said to Riley when the kid went inside.

Riley was getting sick of her already, "Hey, shut up. This was your plan."

Ivy grinned evilly, "Ah, yes. My intelligent plan."

"Geez, don't give yourself so much credit." Riley murmured. He had, after all, agreed to it.

Ivy shook her head and laughed. She looked around the block once more, and suddenly, her cheerfulness was sucked right out of her. If she wasn't mistaken, Ivy saw a man with blonde hair wearing a blue suit walking up the stairs of the Franklin Institution. A man she knew very well, and had hoped she would never see again.

"Maybe I'm just being paranoid." Ivy mumbled through gritted teeth.

"What?" Riley asked.

"Nothing." Ivy said to him. She watched the man go inside the Franklin Institute.

Fear. Paranoia. Insecurity. All things Ivy hated. There had to be some way to escape.

"Hey, Riley, what does the message say so far?" Ivy asked, peering over his shoulder at the newspaper.

Riley turned the newspaper as he read it aloud, "The vision to see the treasure past, comes as the timely shadow, crosses in front of the house of pass and…pass and what?"

Ivy sighed. This was harder than she thought. Then, as fate would have it, Ivy looked up at the right time. A bus was just about to move when she saw a picture of the Liberty Bell. She nudged Riley and pointed at it.

"Pass and Stow." Riley mouthed.

"Quick, write it down. We've gotta show Ben and Abigail." Ivy said, standing up.

"What's with the sudden rush?" Riley asked suspiciously.

"That doesn't matter. Come on!" Ivy grabbed Riley's arm and pulled him away.

The boy came out of the Franklin Institute and came running across the street. Ian was following him, but keeping his distance. The bus pulled out of the way, and Ian saw the boy was alone.

"What's up?" Shaw asked Ian.

Ian looked at the empty bench, "I'm not sure."

"Hey!" Riley called to Ben and Abigail.

"Riley, Ivy! Did you get it?" Ben asked curiously.

"Oh, I got it." Riley said excitedly. Ivy punched him angrily.

"Ok, we got it, whatever, it doesn't matter," Riley continued, "The vision to see the treasure past comes as the timely shadow the passes in front of the house of Pass and Stow. Now Pass and Stow, of course, referring to-"

"The Liberty Bell." Ben and Abigail said unison.

Riley was a bit angry, "Why do you have to do that?"

"Well John Pass and John Stow cast the bell." Abigail said, as though it was a bit of information everyone in the world knew.

"Ok…then what does the rest of it mean?" Ivy asked. She looked expectantly at Ben.

"The vision to see the treasure past must refer to a way to read the map." Ben said, pacing back and forth in his thoughts.

"Wait, I thought the cipher was the map." Riley said, confused.

"No, the cipher was the way to find the way to read the map." Ben explained.

"And the way to read the map can be found when the timely shadow crosses in front of the Liberty Bell." Abigail said, growing more excited.

"Crosses over in front of the house of the Liberty Bell. Independence Hall." Ben said, nodding.

"So, timely shadow…it's a specific time." Abigail said.

"Right." Ben said, staring right at Abigail in admiration.

"Uh, what time?" Riley asked.

"What time…what time?" Ben thought harder, "Oh wait…you're gonna love this!"

Ben walked over to the woman working at the cashier. Riley and Ivy wondered what in the world he was thinking of doing.

"Excuse me, can I see one of those hundred dollar bills I paid you with?" Ben asked politely.

"No." The woman said, trying to sound sorry, though it was clear she didn't care.

"Give him the hundred dollar bill so one of the greatest treasures in history can be found." Ivy said, a hint of irritation in her voice.

Ben, Abigail and Riley looked at Ivy in shock. To their surprise, the woman casually gave the bill to Ben, looking at Ivy like she was crazy.

Ben held up his water bottle and looked at the bill through it, "I think, if we look at this clock tower, we may find the specific time."

After a few minutes, Ben could see it clearly, "2:22."

"What time is it now?" Abigail asked Ivy.

"Almost three." Ivy replied.

Abigail sighed, "We missed it."

"No we didn't." Riley said.

Everyone looked at Riley.

"What…you don't know this? I know something about history that you don't know." Riley seemed very pleased with this.

"I'd be very excited to learn about it Riley." Ben said impatiently.

"Wait, hold on one second, let me just take in this moment. This is, this is cool…is this how you feel all the time? I mean except for now, of course-"

"RILEY!" Ivy shouted.

"Oh, right," Riley said, enjoying the fact that Ivy was jealous, "What I know, is that Daylight Savings, wasn't established until World War 1. If it's 3pm now, in 1776 it would be, 2pm!"

"Riley, you're a genius." Ben said, heading out the door.

"Did you hear that? Ben said I'm a genius." Riley said triumphantly at Ivy, "Do you know who the first person to suggest Daylight Savings-"

"Benjamin Franklin." Ivy said quickly.

Riley clenched his fists. He had hoped Ivy would know that.

"I can be a genius too, you know." Ivy said with an evil grin.

"I'll believe it when I see it." Riley muttered.

Even though they fought with each other, they still figured out Pass and Stow! Ah yes, and Riley had his moment. I can't leave that out. And how does Ivy know Ian? You'll just have to wait and see. That's going to be VERY interesting. Muahaha.
