A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed.I really appreciate it. Love ya! Anyway. I was going to post this chapter up yesterday, but I didn't have the time.So I want you all to enjoy the Chapter!
We had everything ready and we were at the National Archives building, waiting across the street. Ben opened the door and Riley tried to protest before he left. "Ben, are you sure that we should do th…" Ben shut the door in Riley's face. I giggled at his face. "You think that's funny, Caylen?" I nodded, still laughing. Riley opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Ben coming in on our headsets.
"Guys, can you hear me?" He asked.
"Unfortunately yes. We're all set then." Riley told Ben. We waited patiently waiting for Ben to talk again.
"Ben, where are you?" I asked him after a few minutes of silence.
"I'm in the bathroom."
"How do you look?" Riley inquired. I shook my head, laughing a little. Riley looked at me, smiling and looking proud of himself.
"Not bad." Ben answered Riley's question.
"Mozeltov." Riley said. Ben had started talking to someone but I tuned him out, leaning my head on Riley's shoulder. "Is it that hot girl? How does she look?" Riley asked Ben. I took my head off his shoulder, hitting the back of his head. He yelped, glaring at me. I just put my head back on his shoulder, yawning. I hardly slept last night. I was so excited about tonight.
"Come on Romeo, get out of there." Riley told Ben, trying to get this over with.
Ben kept talking to Abigail, until we heard another man's voice. "Who's the stiff?"
I felt Riley start playing with my red hair. Ian takes after our dad, and I take after our mom. I look up at Riley and stare into his deep blue eyes. He looks into my eyes with confusion. "Weren't your eyes blue yesterday?" he asked me. I smiled looking down at my clothes. I was wearing a dark green shirt, with a black jacket over it and a pair of black jeans.
"My eyes change from blue to green. It depends on what I'm wearing on different days." He nods, leaning closer to me. I bit my lip as he keeps getting closer, my heart racing.
"It's working. It's working!" Ben brings us out of our trance. Riley clears his throat before talking to Ben.
"Good job, Ben."
"Okay, we're in the elevator." Ben tells us.
"Alright, I'm going to turn off the surveillance cameras. Ready? In 5, 4, 3, now. Ben Gates, you are now the invisible man. Give me the letter to her password. Hit me… and Caylen." Riley smiles at me, and I smile back.
Ben gives us the letters. "A… e… f… g… l… o… r… v… y."
"Anagrams being listed. Top results are a glove fry, a very golf, fargo levy, gravy flow, valey frog…" That last one brought a thought into my mind.
"Ben, did she press any keys twice?" I asked him. "I think the password may be Valley Forge."
Riley looked at me strangely. "I don't have that one." He started scrolling through the anagrams again.
"Caylen's right, Riley. She pressed 'e' and 'l' twice. We're in." I could hear the smile in Ben's voice.
"Ben, you're doing great. Just pick it up, Ben. Just one more…" Suddenly the screen goes blank. Riley's eyes go wide and I gasp. Riley frantically tries to get the screen back up but nothing happens. "I lost my feed. I lost my feed, Ben! I don't know where anyone is! I have noth… Ben, I have nothing. Get out of there. Get out of there now!" Riley says frantically.
"Ben, I think it's Ian. He's going to do anything to stop you. Get out of there now!" I told him, getting worried.
"I'll take the whole thing. I'll get it out in the elevator." Ben told us calmly.
"What are you talking…? Is it heavy?" I looked at Riley and shake my head, still worried. Suddenly we hear loud short explosions.
"Ben!" I yell into the headset. I look at Riley who looked as concerned as me.
"What was that? Who was shooting?" Riley asked. We waited for an answer to come, but none came. "Ben, you still there? Ben?"
"I'm in the elevator. Ian's here. He was shooting." Ben answers. I stomp my foot, take off the headset, and climb into the passenger seat. There I take off my jacket and step out of the van. I had to calm down. Ian still is my brother. No matter how much I don't like him. I make a silent vow that I would never let Ian get the document that we had worked so hard to get. I sit on the curb and wipe my eyes. Riley pops his head out the window, the headset still on his head.
"Caylen, come on in. I don't want you to catch a cold. We have a long way to go, and Ben should be back any minute." I nod and get into the passenger seat. I put my jacket on, and than putting my seatbelt on. Riley started the car, waiting for Ben to come into the van. Ben was walking towards the van, with Abigail Chase not to far behind him. "Uh, Ben, the mean declaration lady is behind you." Riley tells him, since I don't have my headset on.
Ben opens the back of the van and Abigail comes up behind him. "Hey!" She pulls his shoulder to turn him to her. She looks angry.
Ben keeps his calm. "Oh, it's you." He greets her as if everything is perfectly fine.
"Mr. Brown, what's going on? What's that?" She asked, curious and angry at the same time.
Ben looks at the cylinder container that he was holding. "It's a souvenir." He told her.
"Really?" She stomped her foot, glaring at him.
I rolled my eyes. "Stop talking and get in the gosh darn van!" I yelled at them, wanting to get out of here and away from Ian. Ben gave me a look that said 'one minute'.
"Did you enjoy the party?" He asked Abigail. She looked at me and then at him, nodding slowly.
"Yeah…" Suddenly the alarms went off. I put my head in my hands and shake my head slowly.
"Oh my god." I hear Riley say softly.
"Oh my god, you did not…" She pauses before reaching for the tube Ben was holding. "Give me that!" She harshly takes it out of his hands and marches off to the National Archives building.
"Take it, it's yours" Ben yells after her jumping into the van. I hear Abigail yell for security. "Go!" Ben tells Riley, shutting the van door.
"What? We just can't let her go!" Riley shakes his head, looking at me. I shrug, just wanting to get out of here.
"We can, so go." Ben told us. Riley was about to go when Ben stopped him. "Wait, hold it. Hold it. Bad, bad, bad." He opened the van door and tried to get out. I looked out Riley's window, seeing Abigail being taken into a van. I glared at it knowing it was Ian's.
Ben shut the van door and got in the back, telling Riley to go. Riley did, gasping when Shaw starting at us. I held onto the seat as the windshield got blasted. I screamed as some of the glass cut Riley and me.
"Once we catch them, what are we going to do?" Riley asked Ben, chasing after Ian's van. I brushed some glass from my hair, and then turning to Riley, bushing the glass from his hair.
"I'm working on it." Ben told us.
Riley started talking to himself. "Turn right, turn right." He did so, turning the wheel sharply. "Skidding, skidding, skidding." He muttered as we drove next to Ian's van. The back door of Ian's van opened and Abigail was hanging from the back of it. I gasped, opening the window, putting my head out.
"Hang on, Dr. Chase!" I yelled to her. Ian grabbed the tube from Abigail, glaring at me and our van pulled up next to their van. Ben opened the side door of the van and grabbed Abigail. He grabbed her and pulled her into the van, shutting the side door quickly.
"You alright?" Ben asked her. She was breathing quickly, a wild look in her eyes.
"No those lunatics… they stole…" she trailed off, running her fingers through her hair.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Ben questioned, trying to look over her. She pushed him off her.
"You're all lunatics!" She looked at Riley and me. I just shrugged, turning to look at Riley who was driving us somewhere. He apparently felt my eyes on him, because he shot a quick glance at me, winking. I smiled back, happy that he was alright.
"You hungry?" Ben asked out of the blue.
Abigail looks confused now, calming down from her craziness.
"Ben changed the question. "Are you all right?" he asked her.
Riley piped up. "Still a little on edge from being shot at, but I'll be okay. Thanks for asking." He said sarcastically. I smiled at him, watching him turn a corner.
"Well I'm not alright! Those men have the Declaration of Independence!" She yelled. My eyes widened.
"She lost it?" Riley asked.
"You let Ian get it?!" I yelled. I was not about to break the vow I just made. I looked at Ben for some confirmation.
"They don't have it." He slid out the document for Abigail and me to see. "See? Okay? Now would you please stop shouting?" He asked her, annoyed. I breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Ian didn't have the document.
"Give me that!" Abigail yelled, reaching forward to get the Declaration.
Ben shook his head, pulling the document out of her reach. "You're still shouting, and it's really starting to annoy. You'd do well, Dr. Chase, to be a bit more civilized in this instance." Ben pointed out. Riley smiled while I laughed lightly.
"If this is the real one, then what did those men get?" She asked, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Souvenir. I thought it might be a good idea to have a duplicate. Turned out I was right. I had to pay for both the souvenir and the real one, so you owe 35 dollars, plus tax." Ben smiled.
"Genius." Riley laughed with me. I was really happy now that Ian had been tricked.
"Who were those men? And who is the man that Miss Owens called Ian?" I groaned, not wanting to explain it.
"Those people were the ones that were going to steal the document Ben now holds." I told her, not telling her about Ian.
Riley nods. "And you didn't believe us." He put his hand on my knee, shook it a bit, and then put it back on the steering wheel. I blushed, feeling butterflies in my stomach.
"We did what we could to keep it safe." Ben told her calmly.
"Verdammt… Give me that!" Abigail yelled, reaching once again for the Declaration that Ben was holding. Ben pulled it back, annoyed.
"You know what, you're shouting again." Ben told her.
"Pretty sure she was swearing too." Riley added in.
"I think she was too, Ben." I turned to look at him, smiling. He smiled back, and then turned back to Abigail.
"We probably deserve it."
