Chapter 5: Matching Glasses

"Wake up Jennifer" Riley says, gently poking her shoulder.

"Five more minutes." She whines, burying her face in the car's leather seats.

"But we're here." Riley said. Jennifer looked up at him through bleary eyes and yawned.

"Good morning." She says tiredly.

"Not yet." Riley laughed. Riley helped Jennifer up and out of the car, and walked with her towards the room.

The group ended up at a hotel for the night. Unfortunately, Ben's dad didn't hide that much money in Common Sense, so they had to split a two-bed room. The original plan was to have Jennifer and Abigail share a bed, but the guys complained and Abigail offered to sleep next to Ben as long as he gave her his shirt to sleep in. Of course he agreed and that left Jennifer awkwardly sleeping with Riley.

Her poofy princess dress was not very comfortable to lay down in and Riley, being a gentleman, offered his shirt to her. She accepted and ran into the bathroom to change. Needless to say, she found it hard to come back out. Ben's shirt was very long on Abigail and went all the way down, almost to her knees. But Riley was smaller, so the shirt just draped slightly past Jennifer's hips. Luckily, she had been prepared and wore some shorts under her dress. But they were tiny. She yawned and decided getting sleep was more important than pride at this point, and walked out of the bathroom and towards the bed.

"Night Riley." She said as she climbed beside him. She suddenly realized that since she was wearing his shirt, he was sleeping in only his pants. She blushed, but buried her head in the pillow.

"Good night Jennifer." He replied quietly. The lights flickered off and she felt Riley shift on the bed behind her.

Don't think about him behind you…. Shirtless. Oh man. She rolled onto her back and looked up at the slightly cracking ceiling. A few minutes later she hears Riley snoring quietly next to her, and she rolled her eyes. He can fall asleep just fine next to me. But I'm too nervous to even try. This sucks. She pouts. All of a sudden she feels the bed sink in closer to her and Riley's arm wraps around her waist.

She rolls over, so that her back is next to his chest, and sighs. Her eyes slide shut.

"Morning you two." Abigail says, smiling at the two snuggling on the bed. Riley opens his eyes and is about to sit up when he realizes that Jennifer is snuggled into his chest."What time is it?" He whispers, trying not to wake Jennifer.

"It's already eleven, we have to go." She says and Riley starts to wake Jennifer. "Jennifer, time to wake up." Riley says sweetly in an effort to wake her up. She just snuggles into his chest, making him blush. "Jennifer?"

"Five more minutes."

"Get your lazy butt out of bed right now!" Abigail yells making Jennifer jump up.

"I'm up." Jennifer says, rubbing her eyes tiredly. "How'd you sleep?" Jennifer asked Riley innocently, remembering him hugging her the previous night. Luckily for her she didn't realize what position they were in not even a minute before.

"Fine." He smiled. "And you?"

"Pretty well."

"Anyways, we have to go get clothes so if you wouldn't mind giving Riley his shirt back." Abigail says. Riley pulls the blanket up over his chest self-consciously causing Jennifer to giggle. She runs to the bathroom to change back into her dress and comes back yawning.

"I look a mess." Jennifer says, trying to flatten her messy hair.

"You look fine. We have to go." Abigail complains.

"All right, gosh." Jennifer complains.

They pile back in the car and head out to go clothes shopping. Riley goes on his own, as he is the only one with normal people clothes on, to find out the next clue. Jennifer is stuck with the love birds. She quickly purchases a cute shirt, some bright pink converse, and some flare jeans, in an effort to avoid their flirting. She waits at the door for Riley.

He comes running up, looking very cheerful. "Where's Ben?" Riley asks Jennifer.

"Inside with Abigail." Jennifer sighs. "So what did you find out?" She asks happily.

"Come on, let's go." Riley pulls Jennifer up the stairs with him.

Riley excitedly reads the clue to the three of them.

"The vision to see the treasured past comes as the timely shadow crosses in front of the house of pass and stow."

"Pass and Stow refers, of course, to the.."

"Liberty Bell." Ben and Abigail cut him off.

"Why do you have to do that?" He pouts making Jennifer giggle.

"It's OK Riley, maybe next time." Jennifer hits him lightly on the back. He rolls his eyes at her.

Meanwhile, Ben and Abigail have figured the clue out. "So the way to see the map is found when the timely shadow crosses Independence Hall."

"What time?" Abigail asks. Ben smiles. He grabs the $100 bill he gave to the cashier and used a water bottle to see the time on the clock tower.

"2:22" He said. "What time is it?"

"It's almost three." The cashier says dully.

"We're too late." Abigail says.

"No we're not." Riley says. After receiving odd looks from everyone he continues. "We're not because… wait, you don't know this?" He asks Ben. Ben shakes his head.

"I would like to Riley."

"Ok, so day light savings didn't start until WWI, so 3 o'clock now would be 2 o'clock then."

"You're a genius Riley." Ben says Riley shrugs in false modesty. Jennifer rolls her eyes at him but smiles nonetheless.

So the group hurry over to Independence Hall and sneak in the tower.

"There" Ben says. The brick building connected to Independence Hall is covered in shade. He starts climbing back down and Jennifer follows. They both climb through a window and on the roof. The building is only a few feet away, and both rush over. Ben finds a brick with a Templar symbol on it. He pulls out a knife.

"Why do you carry around a Bowie knife?" Jennifer asks, taking a cautious step back.

"Have to be prepared." Ben said, cutting around the edge of the brick.

"How boy scout of you." Jennifer says smiling. Ben rolls his eyes but has a very different reaction when he takes out the brick.

"Look at this." Ben says smiling.

"Are these old timey 3-D glasses?" Jennifer asked excited, putting them on her face. Ben shakes his head but runs with her into the building where Riley and Abigail stand waiting.

"Nice glasses." Riley says with a smirk.

"Yeah, I match you now." Jennifer smirks. She turns to Ben and Abigail who have the Declaration flipped over and gasps. "You have to see this Ben!" She hands him the glasses.

"Wow, this is really something ." He hands them to Abigail, Riley reaching for them, but being beaten by Abigail.

"It says Heere at the Wall. With two E's." He says to a pouting Riley.

"Uh, Ben." Jennifer says hurriedly. "The evil British mafia are here." She says pushing everyone out of view of the window, and Ian's lackey.

"Okay, we have to spilt up." He divvies up everything. He gives the Declaration to Riley and keeps the glasses along with the container he carried the Declaration in. "You three go that way, and I'll lead this guy off your tail."

"Ben, that's a horrible plan." Jennifer says pointedly.

"Good luck." He smiles and runs out of the building. Jennifer rolls her eyes.

"Great, now what are we…" She turns to see Abby and Riley have disappeared. "Thanks guys." She says sarcastically to herself. She runs off to try and find them but almost immediately sees Ian turning the corner. She dashes into the nearest building which turns out to be a quaint little Italian restaurant. She hides under the nearest table.

"What are you doing?" One of the people sitting at the table says. Jennifer comes up with a quick plan.

"I'm hiding from my ex-fiancée. Please don't tell him I'm here." She whispered.

"Have any of you seen a blonde girl, about this tall running through here?" Jennifer hears Ian ask in his now creepy British accent.

"No, sorry." The man says and Jennifer bites back a sigh of relief. She hears his footsteps as he leaves and Jennifer peeks out.

"Thank you so much." She says, running out of the building.

"Ah, ah, ah. Not so fast." Ian says and Jennifer almost screams in surprise.

"I don't have anything." Jennifer says quickly, holding her hands up.

"Yeah, but we could always use another hostage." He says, roughly grabbing her wrist and pulling her with him towards his gang. Another? She tried to pull her wrist free but his grip was too strong. He looked back at her questioningly.

"It was worth a try." She said shrugging pitifully.

"Oh, it won't be so bad. We may even have some fun together." Ian said creepily, his arm wrapping around her shoulder. Him dragging her around by the wrist probably didn't look normal to the people around them but she didn't like this sudden closeness.

"How about you let go now and I won't scream for help from that nice looking man over there." She smiled evilly, gesturing to a very tall, buff looking man by the ice cream parlor.

"How about you don't scream and Shaw won't shoot you." He said smirking back just as cruelly. She feels Shaw poke her in the back with the gun. She resigned to her fate.

"Let's go look over there, honey." Ian said loudly, playing up the couple act. She gritted her teeth, biting back the vulgarities she would like to shout at him. She eventually gets shoved into the back seat of a jeep and sees someone she wasn't expecting.

"Mr. Gates?" She asked in surprise. He was gagged and Jennifer reached over and took it off. "Are you all right?" She asks worriedly.

"As well as can be expected." He says.

"Sorry." She mutters, trying to reach over and untie his wrists. She barely loosens them when Ian returns.

He pulls her roughly from her seating position and pushes her, face first, against the jeep. "Why are you trying to untie my hostage."

"Sorry." She gasped, trying to shift her body so that her ribs weren't pressed so harshly against the rough metal. He pulls her wrists behind her back and ties them together tightly. He pulls some long, thin piece fabric out of his pocket and gags her with it. He shoves her in the back seat. "No talking." He says to Patrick, instead of going back in and gagging him again. Ian climbs back in the front seat and they start to drive.

Jennifer tries to loosen the knot around her wrists but its tied too tightly. After a little while she sees Patrick get his hands free from their ropes and she turns her back to him so that she can free him. He quickly unties the knot and she reaches up to untie her gag. "Thanks" she mouths to Patrick. He nods in response. They pull to a stop not long after and sit there waiting as Ian talks to some of his henchman.

It seems like hours that they just sit there, waiting. All of a sudden Jennifer hears Ben's voice and she has to stop herself from jumping out of the car.

"Ben?" Patrick asks her, reaching for the doorknob. She doesn't stop him in time and he pulls open the door. She jumps out too.

There, standing not too far away is Ben, soaking wet. Standing with Ian. Ian hasn't noticed she's left yet, and as she looks down at her blood stained wrists, she does the first thing that comes to mind. She runs.
