"What the hell is Clements Library?" Deb asked for the tenth time that night.
"If she doesn't shut up, I swear-" Riley was saying to Abi but Deb interrupted.
"Well, if someone just answered me, I would shut up." Deb said.
"Okay!" Riley said. "Some guy named Clement started a library. Therefore he called it Clements Library. Does it get any more complicated than that?"
Deb looked at Riley. "Well, that's all you had to say."
Ben rolled his eyes. He stopped the car and got out. "Well, why don't you ask the people that work there what the hell Clements Library is?" He said. "We're here."
"Are we going to steal this too?" Deb asked.
"I don't think we need to." Ben said.
Abigail inched out of the car, and said, "You know people know exactly who WE are. WE as in ME, BEN, and RILEY."
"So." Deb said. She looked around. "Are we gonna steal it or what?"
"NO!"
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
"Lemons?" Abigail asked.
"Lemons."
"Q-tip?"
"Q-tip."
Abigail put on her gloves, and pulled her hair out of her face. She brushed the lemon juice on the letter. She cleared her throat. "Blondie! Blow drier!"
"Oh yeah." Deb plugged in the blow drier. She handed it to Abigail.
"Gee, thanks." Abigail said, snatching it out of Deb's hands.
"Geez, this much stress isn't good for a person." Deb said.
"ME? STRESSED?" Abigail said. "NEVER."
Deb got her magazine and started reading it.
The room was dark and mostly empty, except for some chairs and a big mahogany desk. Slowly, without the help of Deb of course, the message finally became visible.
"Okay." Ben said. "The wood laid, the lawn he gave, though work he did none, work done from slaves. Downstairs a ways, that is where the unacknowledged lays."
Ben sat back. "The wood and the lawn." He said. "Wow, this clue isn't that hard."
"For you." Riley said.
"Woodlawn Plantation." Ben said. "Or under it."
"Per say." Riley said.
"What was that again?" A voice said. And it happened to be a voice that none of them ever wanted to hear again.
(Ahhhh! Cliffy! Haha, now you all have to review! The more reviews I get the sooner I'll update. . And yeah, I'm over Miss Jenny, I just found out she was a Loyalist spy, not a Patriot spy. So I stuck with good old Rachel. And please, I cannot decide if it should be Riley/Deb. They're not exactly alike, but they're that different either. Except for the fact that Deb is completely annoying. So, Deb/Riley or not? Review and tell me! And no, I have never actually tried scuba diving. But I love the ocean.)
