Chapter 1

( Just so you know, this is my first National Treasure fanfic. I would be following the second movie, not scene by scene, I am sorry if I get something from the movie wrong, there would be some new scenes especially Father and son moments. Hope you like it, please don't review if you don't like my story I don't want any problem with anyone, but if you do like it REVIEW. I saw that I had some problem with the way I formatted the intro, I wrote that way so it didn't take up so much room since it is a intro I hate reading stories that are jumbled that way, I am sorry. But all my stories are writen in a very easy follow and very manageable)

Warning: Spanking in later Chapters.

Couple: Ben/Abigail and Ben/Riley (strictly father and son, NO slash)

Italics: Means Flashbacks or emphasizing

Oh crap, I'm screwed. Dad's going to kill me, I don't remember how many times has Ben, told me to get a new accountant for my payments on my Ferrari, and I ignored him and technically disobeyed and he has some strict rules on disobeying. I'm walking from the library where I was selling my books from the first treasure hunting me and dad did with the help of Abigail, oh and did I say I'm walking, well because of my freaking accountant, which by the way never existed was lying about the payments, he was taking money from my account and keeping it, thankfully I didn't put my half of the 1% we got in the bank other than that I would be screwed, well more than I am now. Anyway, my dealer ship stop being patient about my late fees, and pounded my car, I could have gotten it back since I only had to pay 1,353 with the late fee, but the manager saw that I was young said I should have a co-owner sign, the only person I could trust is Ben my father, and there's no way I'm going to ask him. Not until he calms down about this.

So he said I cant get my car before Ben sighed, I'm going to wait a little while, so during the time, I'm going to stay in my apartment, I'll just tell Dad that I'm doing a project and I want to be alone, I cringed when I realized that was a lie and I would be in more trouble. Well lets just hope, Ben is at home with Abi learning about history, or he hasn't returned back from his speech on the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. I kept on walking with the real life cut out of my self which is pretty hard to walk with when your real life cutout is technically taller then you, I round my corner and reached my house, I stopped in my stepped when I saw some one on my steps. Ben Gates, the treasure hunter and unfortunately at this moment my father! I took in a deep breath, and tried to walk backwards. Just when I was half way back, Ben looked up and narrowed his eyes.

"Riley!" he warned.

I sighed and walked over to him. I put my stuff down, and looked at him. He looked at me then at the street then back at me.

"where's your Ferrari?" he asked.

I sighed.

"atthepound" I said quickly.

He looked at me confused, and took off his reading glasses.

"say that again Ri I couldn't catch it" he said.

I sighed and my stomached flipped. "its at the pound dad" I said looking away from his face.

I heard him sigh,

"you didn't listen to me when I told you to get another accountant" he said upset.

I sighed and looked at him, he was staring at me disappointment in his eyes.

"I'm really sorry dad, it just passed my mind, and I didn't really think I needed another one"

Ben glared at me.

"Riley, I told you I didn't trust him, and I told you to get a new one, I meant it" he said getting mad.

I sighed and looked at him sadly.

"I know dad and I'm really sorry, please I didn't mean for it to happen." I said giving him puppy dog eyes.

He sighed and pain crossed his features.

"I don't like punishing you Ri, I do it so you would learn. Right now I should take you over my knee for this" he said.

I cringed at that.

"I know dad, and I'm extremely sorry"

He took a deep breath.

"lets not think about it now, I need your help"

I nodded. "wait before I ask, what happened with you and grandpa in the speech." I asked

He sighed.

"apparently my descendent was part of the Assassination of President Lincoln" he said agitated.

I covered my mouth so I wont chuckle.

He looked at me and glared "you thinks its funny Riley" he said menacing.

I looked down smiling.

"no dad not at all" I lied.

He hit my thigh playfully I laughed. "ok now why are you here?" I asked.

He sighed and passed his hand through his brown hair."Abigail and split, she's taking the house, I am stay with my father." I nodded, he looked at me "and so are you" he said in a tone that said 'no arguments' but I still had to try.

"dad really, please I could stay in my apartment" I said.

He shook his head. "no Riley, plus your grounded" he said.

I gasped "grounded, Dad that's not fair I'm 22" I complain.

He eyed me sternly. "either that or your over my lap, choose wisely Ri" he said.

A shiver went up my spine. I rather be grounded then go through the pain of having to sit down uncomfortably, for the next days, I sighed.

"how long am I grounded dad?" I asked sadly.

He smiled at my choice, I knew it was hard for him to punish me, but it didn't stop him from doing so.

"2 weeks" he answered.

I sighed. Wait why was he here, and how did he know I would be here?

"dad, why are you, no I know why but why here?" I asked.

He looked at me serious.

"I knew about the car, before you even told me Riley" he said.

I gasped.

"how!" I asked.

He sighed "the pound called me after they figured out I was your father, your car is with Abigail, you would not be receiving it back until your 2 weeks are over"

I gasped then pouted.

He looked at me and looked away. "that's not going to help Ri, I might love you to death. But you have learn when I tell you to do something, you obey, understood" he said.

I nodded reluctantly "yes dad, but I still don't understand how you knew I would be here" I said.

He laughed. "I know my son, I knew you wouldn't come to the house if there was the possibility I would be there, and if you did and Abigail told you I was with my father, you wouldn't go there either, so I knew you would come here." he said

I scowled at him, his face became serious, I swear there was some hurt in his eyes.

"why did you come here Ri, did you not trust me?" he asked.

My eyes grew wide, I hurt him, and I didn't mean too.

"no dad that's not it" I said quickly.

He looked at me like he didn't believe me. "then why didn't you call me right after it happened?"

I sighed.

"I didn't want you to be disappointed in me dad, I was going to tell you later but I was just…." I let my voice trail off looking at a bird that was cleaning him self.

Ben stood up and grabbed my chin to so I could look into his eyes.

"Just what?" he asked.

I sighed and looked down avoiding his gaze "I was scared"

I heard him take in a deep breath, and I looked at him and I saw his eyes had watered. I sighed.

"scared of what exactly Riley?" he asked his voice thick.

"I was afraid that you were going to be angry with me. About the consequences" I said in a small voice, he knew where I was going at.

"you thought I was going to beat you" he sneered.

I sighed. "not beat me per say but I don't know punish me a little harder then necessary." I said.

I didn't know what happened but all of the sudden I was in dads arms him was hugging me tightly. I hugged him back, wondering what I did to grow up not wanting this, the warmth, love and safety of my fathers arms.

"I would never punish you harder then you deserve Riley, I love you too much to see you in pain. Please if anything bothers you, talk to me I would always be there no matter what. You can rely on me for anything anytime."

I smiled into his neck.

"thank you dad, and I am sorry I didn't call you" I told him, parting from the hug.

He smiled at me and tasseled my hair.

"its fine buddy, next time there wont only be a grounding." he said sadly.

I grimaced but nodded.

"now why do you need my help?" I asked.

He looked at me sheepishly.

"just so we have this understood, what I'm going to ask you to do, you better not do again understand?" he said.

I nodded "of course" I said with a smirk "what is it?"

He sighed. "I need you too break into our house, she changed the alarm code" he said.

"why exactly?" I asked.

He sighed. "I have to see that paper which makes our last name Mudd" he said angrily "there's something on that paper that makes me believe it's a map" he said.

Of course, no adventure with Benjamin Gate, isn't a treasure hunt, ok goody! Lets just hope it isn't as bad as stealing the Declaration of Independence.
