Chapter Twelve
"I can't believe we duck taped your father to a chair and left him for the FBI to find." Kyle states still a bit surprised from their improvised plan back at the house.
The crew of four is not sitting in Patrick's car on their way Phili to find of the next crew. Ben and Abigail are sitting in the front seat while Kyle and Riley are sitting in the back. Riley is basically lying down; his feet are up on the seat and he is slightly curled up. While is sitting up right, her head tilted back and she lets out a sigh.
"You're dad has a sweet ride." Riley mumbles to Ben, his eyes closed.
Kyle raise an eyebrow and looks at Riley, "Random, much?" she asks.
Riley smiles a bit.
"I think we should change clothes. We look a bit conspicuous, don't you think?" Ben says to Abigail.
They are still in their Gala attire and yes, it looks a bit…weird. It's not everyday you see two people walking around in a tux and gown as their casual wear. Riley shifts a bit before saying, "I'd love to go shopping but we have no money."
"He's got a point." Kyle agrees with a slight frown on her lips.
"Here, I took this from his house," says Ben handing a little black book over to Abigail, "He usually tucks a few hundred dollars somewhere between those pages."
"Common Sense. How appropriate," says Abigail reading the front of the book.
Kyle lets out a snort, "Ha, it's kind of ironic really." She mumbles causing Riley to let out a laugh.
She takes her seat belt off and leans her back against Riley causing him to open his eyes and stare at her, "Hey, I object to that." He argues.
"That sucks for you because I'm quite comfortable here." She replies back with smirk before closing her eyes and crossing her hand across her stomach.
"If I get a ticket for you two not wearing your seat belts, you're paying for it." Ben says looking at the two young adults through the rear view mirror.
"Touché" Kyle replies which causes Abigail and Riley to just look at her weirdly.
"Huh, probably the wrong time to say that. For get that ever happened." She says to them and closes her eyes again.
Abigail turns back around slowly with an amused smile on her face while Riley just merely shakes his head and closes her eyes again. There's silence for a moment, but leave it to the young guy to break it that nice silence in which Kyle is trying to get some descant sleep.
"When are we gunna get there? I'm hungry. This car smells weird." Riley complains.
"You just said it was a sweet ride." Kyle retorts back at him.
"That's before I noticed the weird smell." He mutters and becomes silent once again.

While Riley and Kyle try to think and figure out the next clue, Ben and Abigail get a nice shopping trip, which still slightly annoyed Kyle, but she did drag Riley into a store anyways so she could get new clothes. She is now wearing a new red camisole with a brown leather jacket. She kept her jeans and converse, deciding not to change out of those.
"Thanks for just dragging me in there so I look stupid while you tried things on." Riley says rather annoyed.
"Hey, I've had to go plenty of places with you and sand there and look stupid." Kyle says back at they get new the Franklin Institute.
They stare at it and Riley starts to walk towards it but Kyle grabs his arm, "wait, what if Ian's in there/" she asks with worry.
"Okay, then, what do we do?" he asks crossing his arms.
Kyle thinks for a moment and an idea pops up in her head as she sees a young boy walk past them. She smiles and walks up to the boy.
"Hey, how would you like to make money?" she asks sweetly.
"Alright." The young boy answers with a goofy smile.
Riley stares in awe at his best friends plan. She always has had a unique of doing things and she has had some pretty interesting plans in the past but this one by far, for some weird reason, beats all the others. She walks back with the kid next to her.
"I need the paper with the number on it." She says.
Riley takes the paper out of his pocket and hands it too her and Kyle explains to the kids what he has to do. The kid takes off into the huge building and Kyle sits on a tone bench and smiles at Riley.
"You are amazing." He manages to get out, sitting next to her.
Kyle smiles at him, "Thanks. Now, let's watch my plan unravel into success." She beams.
So, they wait and receive the letters, writing the message along the bottom of a newspaper that Kyle had bought. The kid runs back with the next letters. He is slightly out of breath but manages to tell them what he had got.
"I got P-A-S-S and A-N-D." he says, catching his breath a little more.
Riley starts writing down on a newspaper when the kid stops him, "No, it's an 'N'" the kids says.
"That is an 'n'."He replies back with an annoyed tone.
The kid raises an eyebrow.
"It doesn't look like one." Kyle pipes up earning a glare from Riley who fixes the 'n'.
"You know what? Here. Last one. Okay? One more dollar," says Riley giving the kid a dollar.
"Thank you," says the kid taking the dollar.
"Go get the last 4 letters. Go get 'em, chief. Come on," Riley adds on before the kid leaves again to find the last letter.
Kyle takes the newspaper and starts reading the clue, well, what they have of it anyways.
"Looking to see if I have any other distorted letters?" Riley asks sarcastically.
Kyle looks at him with a 'get-over-it' look and says, "I'm reading the clue too see what the first half of it could be." She states and looks back at the paper.
"Oh." Riley lets out, feeling a bit guilty for snapping at her.
Kyle looks up just as a bus stops in front of them and sees the Liberty Bell. She sighs and looks back down at the paper, but then snaps her head up looking at the picture of the bell again.
"Got it1" C'mon." she exclaims, grabbing Riley arm to pull him up with her
He looks at her confused. Kyle looks back across the street to see Ian Howe looking around. Her eyes widen and she pulls on Riley arm to get into a run with her, "time to go." She says and they run around the corner to the store that Ben and Abigail are at.
Please review and Happy 4th of July!
