Ben pulled an old piece of paper out of the black tube.
"Sooooooo, what does it say?" Deb asked.
"Stop, the paper's like, two hundred years old." Abigail said.
"Well," Deb said in snobbish tone.
"It says," Ben said. "The liberty held, the items sunk, the history made, with one single trunk. Dignity it showed, Majesty it presented, and Sublimity it bestowed "
"Okay." Deb said. "It means-"
"Okay, the liberty held." Ben said.
"The sons of liberty." Abigail said.
"The items sunk." Ben said. "They sunk the ships."
"Yeah, and the single trunk in the clue." Riley said. "There's a trunk on it, that has the stuff in it."
"Dignity, Majesty and Sublimity…" Ben murmured. "John Adams!"
"What?" Deb asked. "I don't get it. And I usually get everything. Do you get it?" She asked Riley. He rolled his eyes.
"Well, John Adams had a diary and he wrote that it showed Dignity, Majesty and Sublimity as a last effort of the Patriots." Ben told her.
"So, the secret is in the entry." Abigail said.
"Where?" Riley said.
"Where?" Ben repeated.
"See, if you gave the note to start with, we'd all know where." Deb said. She snatched the paper and turned it over. It had a code of numbers like it had on the back of the Declaration of Independence. "See?" She tiled her head. "What do you say?"
"Thank you." Riley, Abigail and Ben droned.
They all got in the car, and Riley pulled out his laptop. He pulled up the passage on the internet.
"Okay." Abigail said. "3-3."
"E."
"15-4."
"L."
After a few minutes, they got the message.
"Eleanor." Riley said.
"Oh, I know this!" Deb said. "See, I know something! They sunk the ships after they got the tea off of them, and then they had the clue in it, so they sunk the clue!" She paused. "That's so retarded."
"Well, know we have to go down there, AGAIN, and find the ship." Riley said.
"Okay," Deb said. She was about ready to jump, but Riley wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her back.
"If you do that again, I will be very VERY pissed off." Riley told her.
"I wouldn't do it." Ben said.
"So what do we have to do now?" Deb said.
"Well, I have to sit down," Abigail said, and stretched out in the back of the car.
"Get a submarine." Ben said.
"Or a glass bottom boat." Abigail called.
"Do we have to steal it?" Deb asked, wide eyed.
"Probably not." Ben said.
Once they all got in the car, Deb said. "My jeans are really heavy all wet."
"DEBORAH, KEEP YOUR JEANS ON!" The three of then shouted.
"Well!" Deb said, in the same snobbish tone.
(A/N: Sorry. I wish it were better. I've been getting over a breakup and writers block at the same time. Which is bad. Review, and tell me if you want Riley and Deb to get together, I can't decide. Anybody know anything about Miss Jenny? I can't find very much about her, but I want to include her for some weird reason.
