Chapter 5: The cipher
Once Riley was out of the water and dry, the trio started looking at the gold artifact. This was a medallion with strange writing on the front:
DQGP AR MPILUP
"So uh, what does it mean?" Riley asked.
"We most likely will need a cipher" Abigail replied
"Ugh here we go again…" Riley mumbled pulling his laptop from his backpack. "I don't think it's located at Easter Island you know,"
"Why not?"
"Well, isn't there already a rumored spot for Atlantis?
"I hope to prove it, and you wrong"
"Whatever." He said and continued working.

3 hours later the three still had nothing.
"Look, I need to take a break, so if you get any wonderful Ideas… go for it. Just don't break my computer!" Riley said leaving the room.
"Ok" she said
She looked at his computer when she started trying whatever popped into her head. Then she realized something very important…

"Riley!" she called
"What! Did you get it?"
"Almost, did you try 'pillars'?"
"Yeah it didn't work though"
"how did you spell it?"
"P-I-L-L-A-R-S, why"
"That's your problem," she said typing P-I-L-A-R-S on Riley's computer.
"Wha- how did you do that?"
"I just know, go get Ben"
"Ok." Riley said quickly hurrying off to find his friend, while Abigail finished figuring out the code:
Isla de Pascua
When the boys came back, she had her arms crossed across her chest smiling.
"What's wrong with you?" Riley asked
"Ha!" she said holding up the piece of paper that said the translation
"Oh so you're proud of yourself that you figured it out?"
"Do you know what Isla de Pascua is Spanish for Riley?"
"Uh nope"
"Easter Island."
"Oh, uh, well it's a good thing we weren't betting money, right? Damn!"
"Language, Riley"
"Sorry."
"Easter Island huh?" Ben said speaking for the first time.
"Yep." Abigail said.
