National Treasure

II :

Riley 's Declaration of Independence

Prologue

I still can't believe the attention our story got! Even now, the media blitz continues. You wouldn't believe how many celebrities I've met! I've been on too many shows to count. (Not that I actually enjoy having a camera suck my soul. According to Ben, it comes with the deal, though. So apparently, I can't escape it.) Tomorrow, Ben, Abigail, and I are going to be interviewed by Brian Williams. He's the next in line to feed on my thoughts. Ben and Abigail are basking in the spotlight, but I hate it! All I wanted was a cool house and a nice car. I could really do without those nosey reporters. For the most part, they give me my space, but every now and then they just swarm me! Ben says that the story will go away soon, and I can go back to being Riley Poole, the new guy in the windowless cubicle with the funny glasses. (But I'm not going back there. Computer programing is fun, but the Archives offered me a job. I'll never work for another internet company again! NEVER!) But I do have my secret retreat, a coffee house called Bean Me. I go there to feed my caffeine addiction (COFFEE!), or to just relax. It's a hole-in-the-wall place not to far from the Archives. I also relax by taking a spin in my car. There's nothing like cruising down a D.C. highway doing 75 and cranking Smashing Pumpkins! In fact, that sounds like fun now. Ben isn't here so there's no one to stop me!(Usually, he finds some chore for me to do. I've got to show him that I am twenty-three and don't need controlling. I'm not his son!) Coffee sounds good too...
