Alex woke up to the sound of loud snoring. She looked over to find that Ben and Abby were already awake, and Riley was the culprit of the snoring.

"Yea, you kind of have to deal with his snoring. How'd you sleep?" Abby had noticed Alex sitting up.

"Fine, for sleeping on the floor of a van" Alex smiled lightly, looking around at the items in the van she couldn't see last night. "What's all this stuff?"

"We're kind of- Treasure hunters" Ben said sheepishly, staring at the same document from the night before.

"All of this is Riley's- he's our little computer techie. That may be all he has going for him though" Abby laughed, looking over to a freshly woken Riley.

"I don't think so" Alex smiled, also looking over to Riley, who had sat up.

"What are you talking about?" He yawned, then grinned. "My haptic multistage polarimeter? Or maybe my blackcomb genesis multicameras?"

"Stop showing off and maybe show her around?" Ben nudged him, and something in Riley's head clicked.

"Oh!" He said, standing up slowly. "If she wants."

"Sure" I smiled appreciatively, as Ben and Abby walked outside whispering.

"You know, I used to work with computers" Alex shrugged, pointing to a machine.

"What's that?"

"Oh, it's a-" Riley started,

"Hydro-combustible version of your polarimeter" Alex finished, then blushed. "Sorry"

"Don't be sorry" Riley stared at her, mouth agape.

"What?"

"I've just never meant a girl that knew tech" He exaggerated the 'girl.'

She grinned. "Now, what did Ben mean when he said, 'Treasure hunters'?"

Riley eventually snapped out of it. "Well, how do I put this nicely....we look for clues, to eventually find a treasure. Another guy, who really isn't a nice person, was out to steal the Declaration of Independence. We just needed a clue. So before the bad guy could get it, we may have...stolen the Declaration"

Alex was in shock. "What!?" She said, shaking her head. No, you couldn't have...."

"We only did it to protect it" Riley said defensively, shushing her in the process.

"And stealing it was the best way to protect it?! What is wrong with you?" She yelled at him, when Abby came running in.

"Riley, don't harass her!" Abby said, making a disgusted face.

"You think I'm really that disgusting? No, I just told her about the Declaration."

"Riley!" Abby and Ben yelled at him, while Alex was still freaking out in the back,

He had a long night of explaining ahead.
