Chapter 2

"What's the treasure this time?" Riley Poole asked through the phone.

-----

Once Ben explained every last detail he told Riley to come over.

With in 10 minutes Riley was over in a flash. Riley entered the house. He wore dark jeans and a brown sweatshirt jacket and a green T-shirt underneath.

"Okay just let me ask, when we find this treasure can we settle on more than 1?" Riley asked.

Ben sighed and Abigail glared at him. "Okay…moving on." Riley said. He cleared his throat. "So what are we dealing with again?" he asked.

"Follow me." Ben said.

They came into that room in Abigail and Ben's house with all the computers and such for treasure findings and clues and such. Ben walked over to one of the large tables at the far end of the room. The table had a large object on it, with a white cloth covering it.

"Say hello to the first clue." Ben said. He lifted the white cloth slowly off the table and there laid the large silver saber, it shined In the reflection of the light.

Abigail admired it. "It's beautiful." She said.

Ben nodded in agreement.

Riley slowly picked it up and to look at it more closely. Ben turned to Abigail, "Do-" Ben was cut short by a cling-clank noise. Abigail and Ben both snapped their heads at Riley who had dropped the sword. Riley quickly bent down to check for damages. "No harm done."

Abigail rolled her eyes.

Riley picked it up and placed it back onto the table.

Riley cleared his throat "Yeah, it is amazing…but how is this a clue?" he asked.

"Look." Ben pointed his finger down towards the first inscription. Riley and Abigail quietly read it to themselves.

"Treasure Island" the two said at the same time.

"Exactly." Ben grinned and slapped his knee.

"So what about Treasure Island?" Abigail asked.

"There's another inscription on the back." Ben stated. He carefully flipped it over.

Abigail and Riley read the second part slowly.

"3 capital letters." Abigail said.

"Yea. But Guys you can't make a word with L, E, and R." Riley pointed out.

"Yea, that's the problem." Ben stated.

"Yes, but maybe the letters stand for something." Abigail pointed out.

"Like what?" Riley asked.

"Like we need more information to find out what." Ben answered.

"Okay, Okay REL. REL, the bloodiest battle. Treasure Island, Silver Saber, inscription" Ben was mumbling to himself while Abigail and Riley were thinking and waiting.

"Ben?" Riley asked. "Anything coming to you?"

Ben began to pace back and force as he scratched his chin. Riley and Abigail followed him with their eyes as he muttered under his breath. "LER...LER... What if it's not in that order..."

"Like a name?" Abigail spoke up. Ben nodded his head but continued to pace back and forth.

"What if it's out of order?...ERL...LRE...REL...REL...It's backwards. R...Rodger...Robert...Robert...Abigail!"

"R-Abigail?" Riley laughed.

Ben spun around towards Abigail. "Robert!"

"Robert E. Lee?!" She gapped. "It fits...Robert E. Lee lead several bloody battles of the civil war."

"But which one had a river made of blood?" Riley spoke up. Abigail sent him the glare of death and he smirked in her direction.

"Antietam." Ben said as if it was the easiest thing ever.

"Ant---tan?" Riley repeated.

"Antietam. Antietam was one of the bloodiest battle of the civil war." Abigail quickly said as she ran over to the computer.

"Literally the only thing in between the Union and Confederate soldiers was a small river." Ben moved over to Riley who didn't share his excitement about hearing such a bloody and gruesome battle.

"Which means..." Abigail spoke as she brought up a picture of the small site.

"The bullet is in the river somewhere."

"WHICH MEANS that we're to go to Maryland." Ben exclaimed.
