So I WAS going to work on a new Hellboy 2 fanfiction, but your wonderful reviews encouraged me to write the next chapter instead. Once again, thanks!

Valerie, Ian, and the others had gone back to the hotel to see if they could figure out where to go based on the clue they found on The Charlotte. Ian had written the riddle on a notepad and was trying to find some kind of answer in it. Valerie was sitting next to him and looking over his shoulder at the riddle. Everyone else was either sitting on the couch across from them or standing around.

"Why is Silence capitalized?" Valerie said, pointing to the word.

"Because it's important?" Viktor guessed.

A look of realization swept across Ian's face as he said, "Because it's a name." He looked up at Powell. "Get the laptop. Look up anyone named Silence around 1776."

Powell did as he was told and discovered Silence Dogood aka Benjamin Franklin and the Silence Dogood letters.

"Where are the letters now?" Ian asked.

"At the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia." Powell answered.

"Should we leave now?" Valerie asked.

Ian looked around at his friends/partners in crime and saw their tired faces.

"No. We'll rest then leave early in the morning. We have to get there before Ben." He decided.

Everyone agreed and went into their hotel bedrooms.

"Did you see a woman with them? Long dark hair? Beautiful brown eyes? About mid-thirties?" Riley questioned the newly saved Abigail.

"I . . . I don't know. I don't think so." She answered.

"Riley." Ben warned. He was getting annoyed of Riley's constant Valerie questions. "Relax, Ian will not hurt her." Then he went back to calm the panicking Abigail.

"So why do you keep worrying about Riley?" Ian asked.

"I thought you wanted us to rest for tomorrow." Valerie responded. They were in their hotel bed with the lights out, ready to sleep.

"I do. It's just been bothering me." He answered.

"Jealous?" She teased. "Relax, Riley's just a friend. He doesn't know the illegal-stuff-stealing me, or he didn't. He treated me like I was innocent, like I could do no wrong. It just felt nice to feel like the police wasn't after us." She explained.

Ian seemed to like this answer and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Just remember who your boyfriend is." He told her.

She giggled. "I will." They kissed then went to sleep.

Riley couldn't stop worrying about Valerie, he wouldn't. He loved her still. Darn his heart. Why did it have to love the girlfriend of the guy they were currently trying to outrun for the treasure? He had to make sure she was okay. The second he saw her. It didn't matter where or when, he just had to make sure.

Ben and Abigail were talking about something in the front of Ben's father's car driving to Philadelphia for the Silence Dogood letters. Riley was trying to fall asleep in the backseat, imagining him and Valerie living the good life after finding the treasure and Ian going to jail. He smiled.

Sorry about the jumping around, I don't like repeating scenes that haven't changed from the movie since you already know them. This chapter was mostly filler. The big chase scene is next chapter.
