A/N: Okay, this chap's pretty short just to see what you guys think of it, just for an idea of what the OCs in here look like, I base Jen off of Natalia Livingston and Mike, who'll show up later as Sebastian Roché. Okay, that's it. Enjoy.

Ben looked over the map again. "I don't know… this treasure's going to be pretty hard to find since it's somewhere in the middle of Egypt"

Abigail looked from Riley to Ben, to the map again. "If we're going to go after this one, there's only one way we can find it, and as of now, that way has part one behind bars"

"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! We are NOT getting him out of jail to help us!" Ben snapped.

"The only one who knows more about Egypt than your sister is him, Ben! If we at least bargain with him we practically already have the treasure"

"But there is NO way I'm paying bail for him! I don't want my sister around him!"

"Your sister is only ten months younger than you, Ben! And who knows, maybe he changed when he was in jail. Maybe we can trust him"

"He can never be trusted" Ben replied.

"Uh" Riley pointed upward. "Question"

"What?" Ben and Abigail asked irritably.

"Who the heck is 'him'?" Riley and another woman who had just entered the house asked.

Ben turned to the woman. "Jen! You weren't supposed to get here for another hour!"

"Eh, got an early start" the woman shrugged, hugging Ben.

"Whoa! Hold on a sec! Ben and Jen? Wow, your parents were original in naming you two" Riley said sarcastically

"Oh" Jen said, turning to him. "You must be Riley, the annoying one," she said, outstretching her hand.

Riley laughed, then got up and hugged her. "Hey Jenny"

"Don't call me that, Riley, I've told you that before. I don't go by my toddler nicknames, eh, whatever, hey Rile, long time no see"

Ben rolled his eyes. It was enough that any time Riley and his sister saw each other they practically started from scratch, but it as annoying she always complained about being called Jenny or anything beginning with 'little'.

"So, any other news on the 'treasure'?" Jen asked, sitting down opposite Riley.

"Well, no, but we're trying to establish a team to go down there, problem is, even your knowledge of Egypt is limited, no offense" Ben added.

"None taken"

"Good… well, Abby and I are debating whether or not to get… Ian back in the ring"

"Whoa. Hold up. Ian as in Ian Howe? The one I had a crush on when we were in high sch- well, longer than that but haven't had it for a while?

Ben winced. "Yeah, him"

"What's the problem?"

"He's in jail"

"WHAT?"

"For kidnapping… breaking and entering… trespassing on government property… uh… put it this way, to many charges to list"

"What?" Jen repeated.

"He knows more about Egypt than all of us combined… but… we don't want to take another chance…"

"Hm" all four looked down:

The next morning:

"I can't believe we're doing this" Ben grumbled, following the guard over to a cell with none other than Ian in it.

"Mr. Howe, you're free to go thanks to these four," a guard said.

Ian looked up at the four people, and then frowned. "Oh no, no way! I'm not going anywhere with them"

"Too bad, you have to, besides, we have a deal for you" Ben said.

Ian smirked. "Which is?" he asked, and then hesitated, noticing Ben looked like he was hiding something behind him. "Ben, be a friend you were so many years ago and step aside"

Ben glared at him.

"I'm waiting"

Ben hesitantly stepped aside, revealing Jen.

Ian's jaw dropped. "Jenny? Little Jenny? Is that you? My you've grown!"

"Shut up, Ian!" Jen snapped.

Ian smiled. "I shouldn't talk, being I'm only a year older than you, should I? Forgive me, I forgot you weren't a fan of those names and people telling you you've grown…"

Jen nodded. "Well, I should say the same for you, you got more arrogant and a worse hairstyle as the years passed, hm?"

Ian smiled. "Touché"

"Ugh! Enough small talk, Ian, we're here to make a deal and nothing more!" Ben snapped.

"Relax, Ben, just catching up with your sister"

"Don't," Ben growled.

"I don't know what I ever saw in you, Ian" Jen said, shaking her head.

"I don't either" Ian smirked.

Jen glared at him as the warden unlocked the cell and led Ian out, Ian's now confident smirk not leaving his face.
