"So how's your boxing career going y/n?" Veronica asks. "I don't want to make it a career. Besides, I can't box by hitting people in the head with crutches." You reply. "Archie?" She asks. "Elio is organizing a boxing club downtown." Archie states. "Brawny young men, shirtless and I'm shorts, go on." Veronica says. "I was thinking your could help me get the Boxing Brats crew a spot in the tournament." Archie suggests. "What?" You ask. "The guys could use a win, or at least a boost after what happened to Baby Teeth." Archie replies. "Let me see what I can do." Veronica replies. "Anyways, Jughead, y/n, how's the sex?" Betty asks. "Really?" You ask as Jughead says, "Great!" You look at him. "What?" He asks. Cheryl, fangs, Evelyn, and Kevin walk past the door in white clothing. They had all joined the farm. "Invasion of The Body Snatchers continues." You say. "So, let me get this straight. The reason Cheryl is all-in on the Farm is that she gets to talk to Jason?" Veronica asks. "Her dead brother?" You butt in. "Yeah. My moms entirely convinced that she's seeing and talking to Charles, her dead long-lost son." Betty states. You scoff. "What if you proved that Charles was dead? I mean your mom has lost touch in reality, so maybe the best way to snap her out of her delusions is with a harsh dose of the truth." Jughead suggests. "like, prove that Charles is dead, or basically anything that will refuse these fantasies that Edgar Evernever is spinning." You state.

You, Jughead, and F.p go to the Coroner's office to see Baby Teeth's body. "our friend here died from loss of blood. From the pulling of his teeth, which occurred pre-mortem." Dr. Curdle says. "wow." You say. "There's one more ghoulish detail I discovered during the autopsy. There was something lodged in his throat." Dr. Curdle states holding something up with tweezers. "Is that a matchbook from the Maple Club?" You ask looking closely at it. "What the hell?" F.p asks. "I thought I'd seen the true face of evil. But this, whoever did this isn't even human." Dr. Curdle says.

"Any idea how one of your matchbooks ended up in Baby Teeth's throat?" F.p asks as you and jughead surround Penelope at the maple club. "Well, they are complementary to all of our guests. We don't recommend you ingest them." Penelope says holding up a matchbook. You take it from her and out it in your pocket. "You don't remember anyone who gave you shivers up your spine?" You ask. "I do recall this young man being here a few nights ago. He was here with some friends. Ex-cons but charming. Anyway, this Baby Teeth left the Maple Club with a grin on his face, and alive. My girl Rosemary fulfilled his fantasy." Penelope says. Jughead writes that all in his notebook. You hear crashing and a woman scream in the other room. "What on Eve's Earth?" You ask opening the curtains. There is glass and roses all over the floor. You hear growling and that's when you see him. A man foaming from his mouth, on his hands and knees, holding a shard of glass. He jumps at F.p and tries to cut him. F.p ducks but he tries again. You drop your crutches and tackle the guy. When he's on the floor you hit him and he goes unconscious. "Jug, can you uh- can you help me up?" You ask. He does an you get back on the crutches. "I feel like I just took a drive down the 'im gonna die' road." You state. "thanks." F.p says. You nod and he gets the man cuffed. He brings him out and comes back a few minutes later. "I got him in the back of my cruiser. He ain't going anywhere." F.p says. "Is there anything else you guys can tell us about him?" Jughead asks the ladies who screamed. "Like, I don't know, his name, or where he's from?" You ask. "Martin. But they all us an alias." Penelope replies. "Did anything seem different about him? Like was his fantasy different?" You ask. "He likes to take Fizzle Rocks to enhance the experience, but this was different. The high hit him like a truck. He started foaming at the mouth, freaking out, and breaking things." A lady says. "This was helpful. If anything comes to mind give us a call." F.p says handing her a business card.

"What the hell are those last brain cells of your thinking, huh?" You tell running into the gym. "What's wrong?" Veronica. "You two! Archie, this is my gym. Not yours. And your on tv promoting it, saying you'll give free boxing lessons, without me?" You ask. "Y/n, calm down." Archie says."no! I'm not gonna fucking calm down. Red, you are a selfish, fucked up guy you know that? And V, all we asked was that you get MY fighters into the boxing match Elio is hosting, not scream it into a camera, live infront of millions of people, saying Archie owns this gym. I'm paying for it, red! You may be aloud in MY gym, but you are no longer the co-owner. Trust me red, you pull something like this you won't have legs to walk into my gym." You say walking away. "Y/n! Wait!" Archie yells. "KISS MY ASS!" You yell walking out.
