To sarahofearth, sorry about the swear word mistakes. I had s, but when I uploaded the document, for some reason in the actual story they didn't appear. My apologies. I myself don't swear, and Ivy is a punk, so she kinda has to.

I can't beleive how many reviews I've got. This is...a dream come true. wipes eyes thank you...

Ivy, Abigail and Riley tried to walk inconspicuously out of Independence Hall. Abigail's eyes were darting everywhere, Riley was trying to follow her without getting lost, and Ivy was looking for any sign of Ian.

"This reminds me of when I busted out of Prep School." Ivy said without thinking.

"You went to Prep School?" Riley said, cocking an eyebrow.

"And then broke out of it?" Abigail asked, looking back at her.

"Yeah, I went against my will," Ivy replied non-chalantly, "I told you that, didn't I?"

"Let me think…hmm…NO." Riley said, pretending to think hard.

"Oh, well, you never gave me the chance," Ivy said, "Hey Abby, what are we supposed to-"

Abigail made a sudden turn and whipped to the left. Riley and Ivy almost ran into each other.

"Walk much?" Ivy snarled as they caught up with her.

"You were supposed to be watching where she was going." Riley shot back.

"Well, Nerdpants, you failed to mention that." Ivy said with a wave of her hand.

Riley looked enraged, "Nerdpants?!"

Ivy nodded and smiled, "Well, you are a nerd, and your pants are, like, super-sized over your toothpick body."

Riley looked like he wanted to slug her. Abigail stopped him when she stopped unexpectedly. And she had good reason. Two of Ian's comrades were close by and within eyesight.

"S!" Ivy screamed.

"Time to run!" Riley cried out, and the three of them took off.

Abigail was running the fastest, so naturally she took the lead. Riley and Ivy tried their best to follow her as quickly as possible.

"In here!" Abigail shouted, opening a door and darting inside.

Riley went in after her, Ivy right on his tail.

Now they were inside some sort of food market. For now they had narrowly lost Shaw and Phil. For now.

"Follow me!" Abigail said, making another miraculous quick turn.

Riley and Ivy ran right into each other and fell on the floor, taking down another person with them. Ivy landed on top of Riley, and the girl was on top of her.

"What is wrong with you?" The girl snarled, standing up and brushing herself off.

Before either of them could answer, the girl picked up her bag, which read "Jennifer" in bold letters on the side. She said just before walking away, "Get a room!"

Ivy frowned, trying to figure out what the girl meant, and then realized she was still on top of Riley.

"AAAGGHH!"

"What, you think it wasn't bad for me?" Riley said as soon as Ivy got up.

"Just don't say a word to Ben or Abigail," Ivy said with a threatening tone, "Or I'll-"

Ivy stopped. She had now just taken notice of Riley's shoes. Without evening worrying about what he would do in offense, Ivy lifted a pant leg and saw the Converse All-Stars symbol.

"You like Converse…" Ivy said, her voice trailing off.

Riley was looking at Ivy like she was insane, "Yeah…so?"

"Oh, nothing," Ivy said, sounding much unlike her usually annoying self, "I just never knew any guys who liked them. They're my favorite shoes."

Riley, surprisingly, didn't say something mean to Ivy. This wasn't like her at all. Was she actually being…normal?

He glanced at the flower section just at the nick of time.

Riley nudged Ivy in the shoulder, "Look, there's Abigail."

Ivy snapped back to reality, "Let's go."

Abigail wasn't looking their way, so Riley touched her shoulder to get her attention. It scared her and made her jump.

She put her hand over her rapidly beating heart, "Where were you!"

"Uh, hiding…come on!" Ivy urged, and they took off once more.

The trio decided to head towards City Hall. Little did they know, Shaw was following closely behind.

They ran across the busy streets, almost getting hit by cars in the process. Ivy was used to this; it was like that the night she escaped from Prep School.

Still holding the Declaration, Abigail, Riley and Ivy ran through the historical landmark. A crowd was closely approaching, and Abigail and Riley got stuck inside. Ivy turned around just in time, as Abigail threw the Declaration to her.

Ivy, feeling her heart race in both fear and adrenalin ran for her life. A man on a bike ran into her, and she fell. The Declaration flew out of her hands.

The breath was knocked out of her. But being the strong little thing she was, Ivy recovered quickly. She saw the poster container on the road, just barely missing being run over by a taxi. There was only one thought in Ivy's mind: grab it!

Ivy pulled herself up and ran out to the middle of the road. Scooping up the Declaration, she heard the sound of a truck's horn. Riley pushed himself through the crowd just in time to grab Ivy and snatch her out of danger. They both landed on the curb.

Ivy sat up, in shock at what had just happened. Riley saved her life.

Abigail rushed over to them, but it was too late. Ivy had in the process dropped the Declaration, and it was still in the street.

Ivy, Abigail and Riley looked just in time to see Ian triumphantly pick up the Declaration of Independence. He opened the lid, looked inside and smiled.

"Good to see you again, Liberty." Ian said to Ivy.

Ivy's face turned bright red. Riley swore that he had never seen her so angry.

"What the f did you call me!" Ivy said, standing up.

They heard a shout. Riley looked back to see Shaw and Phil running towards them. He quickly helped Abigail up and urged her to run. Seeing Ivy wouldn't budge, Riley grabbed the unsuspecting rebel and threw her over his shoulder. Then Abigail and Riley ran away, Ivy kicking and screaming the whole time.

"WHAT THE H IS WRONG WITH YOU! PUT ME DOWN!" Ivy shouted at the top of her lungs, struggling.

Riley, tired of carrying an unstable load, did as he was told and put Ivy down. They were standing in a small area close to Independence Hall.

"I've gotta call Ben," Riley said, taking out his cell phone, "Hope he won't be too upset."

As Riley dialed the phone, Abigail turned to Ivy.

"How do you know Ian?" She asked out of the blue.

"I don't know him." Ivy lied.

"You can't lie, Ivy. You're avoiding eye contact." Abigail said, remembering what Ivy had said.

Ivy cursed under her breath.

"We lost it," Riley was saying to Ben, "Yeah, we're fine. (He looked at Ivy) I think we are. Ok."

Riley closed his cell.

"We need to be honest with each other, Ivy," Abigail said, "This whole treasure business is both dangerous and requires the truth to achieve."

"Ok, ok," Ivy said, sighing, "Well, I'll tell you that Uncle Ian is the reason I was in Prep School to begin with."

Abigail's mouth dropped open. Riley was almost speechless.

He gaped for a moment, "Ian's your uncle?"

Ivy nodded, "Yep. That's all I'm gonna say, because- Mother Fer!"

They rounded the corner just in time to see Ben leaned up against his car. He was surrounded by FBI agents, one of which who was putting him in handcuffs. Worse, the glasses were on top of the car, indicating the FBI would soon know about the treasure. Ben's eyes seemed to say, 'Go now, before they see you!' as they made eye contact.

Abigail, Riley and Ivy turned back and went to a grassy area with a fountain.

"This is a, you guys." Ivy said, sitting down on the bench beside Riley.

"Why do you have to swear all the time?" He said irritably.

"Why do you care?" Ivy replied.

Abigail ignored their little fight. She leaned on bench..

"Riley, do you know how to get in touch with Ian?"

Riley, who was burying his face in his hands, looked up at her. Ivy looked just as confused at Abigail's unlikely question.

Riley replied, "Excuse me?"

As I announced last time, the person who figures out how Ivy and Ian know each other shall receive a cameo. Congratulations to Jennifer, also known as GalahadsFallenKnight0! Yes, Ian is Ivy's uncle, and the reason she went to Prep School. Which explains her hatred. But wait, perhaps there is more to Ivy's family life problems. You'll just have to wait and see.
