Chapter Two: Join'n the Party
Ana spaces out at the wall thinking her thoughts, which she has been doing a lot lately. Abi looks over at her friend with a little worry.
She sure has been daydreaming a lot. Maybe something's wrong. She thinks.
Abi goes and sits on the couch next to Ana.
"Ana are you okay?" she asks putting a hand on her shoulder.
And shakes her head and looks at Abi a little confused. "Huh, what?"
Abi rolls her eyes, "Are you okay? You've been in dream land a lot lately."
Ana thinks for a second before answering her.
"Well, I was just thinking about that Bill guy we met a couple days ago and I just want to see him again." she says and puts her head down.
Abi smiles at Ana. This is the first time in a while that she wanted to get to know a guy ever since her last boyfriend.
"Well, maybe you will." she says and gets up to go into the other room. "Oh, were you going to come to the Gala tonight?" Abi turns around and waits for an answer.
Ana thinks for a moment. "Na. But drop off over there so I can take a walk. Ya know, to clear my mind of some stuff." Abi nods and heads into her bed room and Ana just lays down on the couch going back to her thought.
I just want to see him again. God, why am I thinking all this? I just met the guy for like 15 minutes and it's like I like him or something. Oh my God. What if I do? Aaaagh! She tries to get rid of him in her thoughts, but no good has come. So, yes, she hasn't seen him in two days and she only knew him for about fifteen minutes, but she still likes him and she doesn't know why.
"Okay, well the Gala ends at ten so, be here by then if you wanna ride home. Otherwise, you're walkin' hun." Abi says as they both get out of the car.
She's dressed in a beautiful blue dress while Ana is in jeans, a green shirt that says "Irish+beerFUN" and a blue zip up hoodie. Though she completes that outfit with a pair of black converse.
"I know the drill Abi. Don't worry, I'll be on time. Now, you go in and have fun while I just walk around DC doing...well nothing." she says as they walk towards the building.
"Well, I'll see you at 10 I suppose. Go, on and have fun." Ana departs her friend and goes to walk around. It was a clear night and for a city, too. The stars were out and it is just beautiful as Ana walks across the street, she sees a familiar face. Mr. Brown. She got a suspicious feeling and approached him.
"Hello, Mr. Brown." she says.
He looks at her with astonishment.
"Hi there, Ms. Pontius. I'm just going to the party, you?" he asks with a small smile.
Ana raises an eyebrow, "You're going to a party with a janitor's uniform on?"
He shifts his eyes from her. "Uh..."
"Mr. Brown, tell me what is going on." she commands just as Bill came up next to him.
"Oh." Bill says and looks from Ana to Mr. Brown.
"Um, my friend, Riley here, will explain things to you. But I got to get going." he says in a rush and leaves.
Ana looks at Riley and crosses her arms. He looks away and then back at her with a sigh.
"Follow
me." he says and leads to her to the other side of a van that is parked near. He opens the door and sits on the edge. Ana sits next to him.
"So, you're not Bill?" she asks him with a nicer tone then what she used with Mr. Brown.
"No, I'm Riley Poole and that was Ben Gates and-" she cuts him off.
"Gates? The family with the consiracy thing on the Temblor's Treasure?" she asks.
"Yeah, why?" he asks back.
"Well, in that case what are you guys up to?" she says eager to hear what is going on.
Riley sighs but begins to explain things to her, "Okay, well it started with the pipe and it led us to the Declaration. That when we met you and Dr. Chase. So, when she wouldn't believe us, Ben made up some crazy idea to steal the Declaration to protect it from Ian Howe so he can't get to it and now, here we are." Ana took his words in. She believes that the treasure is treasure is real and she wants to help.
"I'm in." she says looking back up at him.
"What?" he just frowns at her.
"I'm helping you guys. I believe you, so I am helping." she repeats herself and smiles.
"Alright." he says he goes into the van and puts a headset on.
"I'm guessing you are going to tell Ben that I'm part of your little plan." she says sitting next to him.
"Yup." he answers and tells Ben what is going on.
Ana leans against the passenger's seat and thinks. Riley looks over at her and takes in her features.
Wow, she's absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if she has a boyfriend. What am I thinking? Someone who looks like her has to have a boyfriend. Riley thinks looking at her.
"So, what is it you do?" he asks her.
She snaps out of her thoughts and looks at Riley, "I'm a model for skate clothing."
"Really? So, why are you in DC?"
"I don't have anything going on for a couple months, so I'm just visiting Abi. And what is you do?" she asks back.
"Uh, I'm a computer programmer." he replies in a slightly embarrassed tone.
Ana's shocked. Him? A computer programmer? Oh, you have to be shitting me. She thinks.
"You are waaaaay to cute to be a comp. programmer." she says.
Riley smiles, "And you're way to hot to be a skate model."
"Thanks. I've never gotten that from anyone before." she says.
"Really? That's a shocker." Riley replies surprised.
"It's working." came Ben's voice from the headset.
"Oh, shit. I wasn't paying attention to Ben. Amazing." Riley puts the headset back on and gets serious.
Ana smiles and shakes her head and looks up at the car ceiling.
