Chapter 3: Abby & Ben's
When they drove past a pair of large gates Monica said, "They live here? This place is enormous for two people!"
"Yea they got it for some reason about some old guy in history." Riley said dully as he parked the car.
"This place is really beautiful." she said as she got out and looked up at the large house in front of her.
"It's even better inside." he said as they walked up to the door. Riley rang the doorbell as they waited for a few moments before Ben answered the door.
"Hey Riley. Hi Ms. Parks. Abby told me you were coming." Ben said, stepping aside to let them enter.
"Hell, Mr. Gates." Monica said, entering the door.
"You can call me Ben." he chuckled as Riley stepped in the door and Abby came out from another room.
"Ms. Parks! Riley! You guys are early." Abby said as Monica nodded her hello to Abby.
"Well, let's see what we can make of the rest of this." Riley said, lifting up Monica's wrist with her bracelet.
"What did you figure out already?" Ben asked curiously as they went to a large living room with two couches.
They all sat down then Monica, Riley, and Abby told Ben about the information they looked up earlier.
"So it's the pyramids. Maybe something under it or around it." Monica finished up.
"But we can't seem to figure out the part about the 'tail' and 'mummy'." Riley said.
Ben sat and pondered for a few moments as the others watched him, "Perhaps the 'tail' refers to the Sphinx."
"Well, now that makes sense. Why didn't I think of that?" Monica said quietly to herself.
"And what about the 'mummy' part?" asked Abby.
"Maybe we need to find a mummy. It may hold the treasure or another clue." Ben thought out loud.
"Well now we know where we are going!" Abby said, enthusiastically.
"Going? Where are we going?" Monica asked, confused.
"To solve this treasure hunt!" Riley said from beside her.
"What about work?" Monica asked.
"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it" Abby said walking out.
"It'll be fun." Riley said as Monica sighed defeatedly.
"Alright. I guess I will go with you guys." Monica said to Riley.
"You guys! There is a plain to Malibu tomorrow morning. Is that good?" Abby yelled from the next room.
"Sure." Riley and Ben said back in unison.
"Uh, Dr. Chase! What about work?" Monica yelled back.
"I already took care of that! We got a week off because I told them we were going on another treasure hunt!" Abby answered her.
"Oh. OK." Monica said to no one in perticular.
"I think you guys should stay in the guest room tonight so we can all be ready in the morning." Abby said as she walked back in, "I booked us some tickets."
"Sounds good." Ben said
"Sure. I would just need to get a bag or two of clothes and things like that." Monica said.
"Why don't you two go get your things together and come back while we make sure everything is ready when you get back." Ben suggested.
"Sounds like a good plan." Monica stood up.
"Let's go back to your house then to mine." Riley said and they walked out.
Riley and Monica had gotten a couple bags of clothes and nessisary items and returned within the hour.
"OK. this is where you will both be sleeping tonight." Abby said as they showed them the guest bedroom, with two beds, a bathroom and walk in closet.
"Wow... wait. Why is there two beds in one room?" asked Monica.
"Well, believe it or not, after we put in a library, study, and all those tyoe of rooms we only had one left for guests, so we put two beds in it." Ben explained.
"Oh. OK. So which bed do you want Riley?" Monica looked over at him.
"I guess this one." he said as he sat on the bed closer to the door.
"OK. Well, we will let you guys get some rest. We will wake you in the morning." Abby said, "Good night you guys."
"Night Abby, Night Ben." Riley said as they walked out and Monica put her bags near the foot of her bed.
"Boy, I'm totally tired." Monica fell on her bed after going to change in the bathroom and brushing her teeth, "What about you Riley?" She got no responce since Riley had already fallen asleep on his bed. Monica chuckled to herself, got up, and put a blanket on top of the slumbering man, "Night Riley."she whispered and went to sleep in her bed.
