Chapter 4: What is that?
Abigail saw Riley and Ben talking. Riley had a deck of cards in his hand.
"Ben I could SO beat you!" Riley said challenging his friend.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"At what?" Abi asked confused
"3 13," Riley answered
"Oh I am so in!" she said
"Ok here's the deal, you and Ben play to six the whoever has the least points, plays me to six, and the winner cleans up the cards."
"Ok." Ben and Abi said and began their game.

"Hey you cheated!" Abigail said when she lost to Ben.
"I did not!"
"Just move over!" Riley said
The two guys started their game and Abi watched the first part.
"You guys are incredibly boring; I'm going to get some fresh air."
"Whatever."

After Riley lost his game, he went on deck to see what Abigail was doing. She was bent over the side of the railing, almost as if she was going to be sick, but when Riley got closer, she looked up.
"Hi, Riley." She said looking up
"Hi… um what are you doing?" he asked
"Trying to figure out what that is," she replied pointing down.
"That would be the ocean."
"No you idiot, in the water."
"Where?"
"Stand where I'm standing," she said moving out of the way, and it's about 1 or 2 feet away from our yacht."
"Ok."
He bent over the railing like she did, and she stood next to him waiting for a reply.
"Do you see it?" she asked. He stood up,
"Is it shiny?"
"Yes"
"Then I see it."
He bent back over to look again, but did it very quickly and almost fell of the edge. Abigail quickly grabbed him, with one hand on his shoulder and one hand on his back.
"Riley don't do that it's freaking me out!" Abi said removing her hand from his shoulder.
"I'm fine." He said without looking up.
"Riley, I thought you said you weren't going to get sick on this trip." Ben said coming up on deck.
"I'm not." He said standing up.
"He was looking at something in the water and he almost fell in." Abi added dropping her hand.
"What was he looking at?"
"Oh, about that…" she began .and walked over somewhere were they could talk alone.
Riley looked down at the water then at Abi and Ben then back down at the water. I bet I could make that jump… he thought, then climbed over the railing and into the water.
Abigail was caught in mid-sentence when she heard a splash. She looked over at where Riley was and saw only his sunglasses, shoes and the contents of his pockets.
"Oh God," she said, walking over to the railing. Ben followed her. They didn't say anything for awhile.
"Do you think-"
"he'll be fine."
Riley came back up to the surface, then he smiled he lifted his hand to reveal something gold and shiny.
"That's what he was looking at" Abigail said.
