"It's the third murder this week!"
"I know."
"We're outnumbered!"
"I know."
"We have to-"
"Okay, that's enough."- Betty stopped the agent who's been yelling at her for 10 minutes.
"You have to call them, Betts"- Jughead finally told her
"I can't Jug"
"I'm okay with it, Betts."
"Well, I'm not"

3 days later...

"The fourth murder, Agent Cooper. And it's on you."
"How the hell is it on me?"
"Call the BAU, Betts. Now."
"Fine, but when he messes everything up again, it's on you guys."

"Hi, this is agent Elizabeth Cooper from the Riverdale FBI Department. I would like to contact the Behavioral Analysis Unit from the New York FBI please."
"This is Doctor Spencer Reid from the BAU. How can I help?"
"Spence-"
"Betty."
"How have you been?"
"What can I do for you Betty?"
"We need help. Four murders in less than a month and it's getting worse."
"We'll be there in 2 hours."
"Thank you, I will send you the files."

"How did it go?"- Jughead asked her.
"He picked up."
"Oh"
"Yeah."
"Are they coming?"
"Yeah, in 2 hours."
"Okay."


2 hours later...

"Agent Cooper, it's good to see you back on your feet."
"Thank you, Agent Hotch. Thank you all for coming."
"Let's get to work shall we?"- Reid asked.

"So what did we get, Betty?"
"4 murders, all women between the ages 16-24. All blondes. Shot 3 times."
"Any sign of sexual assault?"
"No."
"Jesus Christ."- Hotch whispered
"What's wrong?"
"I think you got more than one murderer on your hands."


"Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We need to set a trap. We need one of the agents to go undercover. All these victims have been taken from the Pop's parking lot. Alone."
"Betty, you're the closest version of a potential next victim."
"No"
"What?"
"I'm not playing victim again."- she said and left.
"Betty!"- Jughead got up to go after her.
"I think I got this one, Jughead"- Spencer told him
"Fuck."

When Spencer left the bulding the found Betty crying on the steps.
"What was that about?"
"Leave me alone."
"Betty."
"I won't do it okay?"
"We're gonna be there the whole time."
"Just like tou were there last time? Just like you protected me when he shot me FOUR TIMES, right?"- she was screaming at this point and it was breaking Spencer's heart.
"You know, I only did that for you. I trusted that you cared. I trusted that you cared that I was pregnant with your child. But you didn't. You stood there with THEM, and you watched as I was bleeding out and he was laughing. You stood and didn't even attempted to help. And then I lost the baby and you didn't even flinch. All you said was "sorry" and you left. I had to come back here because I was so terrified all the time I couldn't stand that apartment in NY. And I cried because of you. Because you weren't here, Spence."
"Betty-"
"Let me finish. And you didn't call. You didn't text. You didn't come to check on me. You knew how much I wanted to have that baby with you. And you didn't even send a text. Not once. But Jughead was here the whole time. I left him for you and he was always here. And he loves me, he aleays has even though he knows I'm still in love with you."

"I'm sorry, Betty."
"Yeah, I'm sure you are."
"I am."
"If you were, you would have cought him. But you didn't."
"I-"
"Please leave me alone for a minute."

"Where is she?"
"She wanted to be alone."
"Yeah, we can tell from the screaming."
"Just drop it."

*gunshot*
*Betty screams*

"What the hell?"- Jughead yelled.
When they went outside, a puddle of blood was waiting for them, and a note.

"You have until 2pm tomorrow to find me or the blondie dies."

"Why the fuck did you leave her out here?"
"I-"
Spencer didn't get to say another word because Jughead punched him so hard he had to cough some blood before getting up.
"I deserved that."
"You think?"
"Enough!"- Hotch yelled.
"We gotta find her."



"This is the profile, JJ go tell the journalists."
"Wait."
"What?"
"This is the exact same profile the guy who shot Betty had."
"What?"
"The sun killer, that was his nickname at the time. He's the one who shot Betty that night."
"You mean the night you stood and watched how she was dying?"- Jughead yelled again.
"I-"
He didn't get the chance to say anything else because Jug punched him. Again."
"Stop. All of you!"

_
"What do you want?"
"Isn't it clear? I want you and your friends dead."
"Not really."

-

"Okay, where did he shoot Betty last time?"
"It was the parking lot of a restaurant."
"Just like Pop's"
"Where were the other bodies found?"
"One in Sweetwater River, another one in Fox Forest. The last 2 were on the bridge."
Okay, so it must be somewhere around."
"Didn't you say you had a bunker?"
"Yeah but we haven't been there in years. And the police checked it a few days ago and it was clear"
"Let's go there. Now."

-
"It's 1.30pm, where are those bitches of yours?"
"..."
"What, are you deaf now?"
"..."
"You know what, I'm not waiting that long, it's over."
He pulled out his gun and was ready to shoot her when Jughead stormed in and punched him so hard he dropped the gun and fell to the floor.
"Charles Grundy, you're arrested for multiple murder, murder attempt and kidnapping."
Spencer rushed to Betty and picked her up.
"Are you okay?"
"Let me down, I can walk."
He did as she asked but as soon as her feet were on the floor, she got lightheaded and almost fell, if he didn't catch her.
"It's okay, I got you. I'm not letting you fall."

-
When she woke up, she was in a hospital bed.
Spencer was the first one she saw when her eyes opened."
"Hey, Betts."
"What happened? Where are we?"
"You fainted so we brought you here."
"Where's Jug? He's outside, talking to your doctor. I asked him to let me come talk to you."
"And he agreed?"
"Kind of."
He laughed but her face remained still.
"I'm sorry for leaving you alone, Betty. I cared about you and I wanted that baby. And- when it- the baby- when it died I just lost it. I fell into the addiction. You were hurt and I couldn't comfort you. So I gave up. The Dilaudid took over and I just went numb. In the end when I got sober again, it was too late. But I wanted you to know that I cared and I still care. Which is why I have to give you this."
He took out a little beanie, a baby beanie, a red one and gave it to her.
"I was going to give you this for our little one. But I think and I would love it if you could give it to your and Jughead's little one."
"What do you mean?"
He just smiled.
"I love you Betty. I always have and I always will. But Jughead is the better man. And you and your baby deserve him, you deserve to feel safe and treated in the best way a man ever could, a way only he can give you."
"Spencer-"
"Goodbye, Betty."

-

7 months later...
"One more push, Betts, you got this."
And then a little baby's cries filled the room.
"There is your little boy.
"Hi there little one"
"What's his name?"
"Henry Spencer Jones."
"He looks so cute with his little red beanie."
"He really does"
