Is a fellow treasure hunter
|
|
|
Is Ben's parole officer
|
|
|
Is pregnant
|
|

|

|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
Baltimore
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
A line of text from the letters
|
|
|
A $100 bill
|
|
|
An old lithograph of a lighthouse
|
|
|

|
|
|

Using the spectacles, Ben divines that his group needs to travel to this city:
|
|
|
New York
|
|
|
Richmond
|
|
|
Trenton
|
|
|
Charlottesville
|
|
21.
|
With the villainous Ian hounding them at every step, Ben says that his group has to split up, so that Ian doesn't get both the Declaration and the spectacles. How the the heroes divide?
|
|
|
Abigail takes the Declaration; Ben and Riley take the spectacles
|
|
|
Ben and Abigail take the Declaration; Riley takes the spectacles
|
|
|
Riley and Abigail takes the Declaration; Ben takes the spectacles
|

Ben knows to go to Wall Street and Broadway, because of this apparently misspelled word in a clue:
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
Townsend Way
|
|
|
Anthony Route
|
|
|
Dresden Court
|
|
|
Parkington Lane
|

Descending into the catacombs beneath the church, one of Ian's crew plunged to his apparent demise when:

|
|
The rope on a dumbwaiter snapped
|
|
|
He was tripped by Ben's father
|
|
|
A stair collapsed
|
|
|
A wooden railing gave way
|

|
"Do you trust me?" Ben asked Abigail when they found themselves in peril. When she answered yes,
|
|
|
Ben dropped her
|
|
|
The room went dark
|
|
|
Ben fired a gun
|
|
|
Ben kissed her
|
|

With the treasure apparently no where to be found beneath the church, Ben's dad bluffed and sent Ian and his gang to this city to search further:
|
|
|
Annapolis
|
|
|
Hartford
|
|
|
Boston
|
|
|
Montpelier

Ben ultimately unlocked the entrance to the room that held the treasure by using pieces of this object:
|
|
|
A torch
|
|
|
A pipe
|
|
|
A pen
|
|
|
A cross
|
|

Riley bitched that Ben only accepted this percentage of the treasure as a reward:
|
|
|
10%
|
|
|
1%
|
|
|
5%
|
|
|
16%
