Betty pov

It turns out that Sebastian was not the TBK. He was being used by him though. Sebastian was being threaten to act like he was the one I was after. The TBK kidnapped his 17 year old daughter and poor Sebastian just wanted her back.

I also discovered that his name was actually David and not Sebastian. What breaks my heart the most is knowing that his poor daughter is certainly dead and David is still hopeful that he will find her alive.

Now, what scares me is that the real TBK has been following me and knows every single person close to me. I'm having my mom and the twins leave my house indefinitely and be relocated somewhere else until I catch the TBK. I'm not even gonna know where the FBI refugee program will move them.

But until I know that I am not a liability to their safety, I will not risk any other member of my family to die because of me. I already lost Polly. I will not let anything happen to them.

I also convinced Cheryl to take in Kevin at her place. If something does happen, I don't want to put Kevin in harms way. I didn't want to tell Kevin too much other than just 'having to deal with some undercover FBI thing'. But I did tell Cheryl what is going so she can stay alert and keep the bow and arrow in hand.

Naturally, Archie is keeping an eye on Veronica and Jughead.

Now that I've caught you up on what's been happening these past couple of months, let me tell you what's going now.

Kevin is moving out today. My mom and the twins left last week. Mom calls me everyday through a burner phone to avoid any sort of tracking but it does give a peace of mind knowing that she is safe even when I don't where she and the twins are.

"Alright mom. I love you. Stay safe. Say hi to the twins for me" I say walking over to the last couple of boxes that Kevin needed help loading.

"I love you too Betty. I'll call you tomorrow" She bids goodbye as the line goes dead. I take a heavy sigh before picking up a box.

As I walk out of my front door, I crash into something firm. "Sorry Kev" I apologize lifting my head to the side and I hear a deep chuckle.

Definitely not Kevin.

"Its alright Betty" Archie replies as I feel the box being lifted off my arms. "Thank you" I smiled as he takes the box from me.

"Kev moving out today?" Archie asks as we walked towards Kev's truck. "Yeah. He just needs a couple more boxes" I replied as Archie nodded.

"And then you're gonna be on your own?" He asked raising his eyebrows in return.

"That's the plan" I smiled at him as he frowned obviously apprehensive.

"Is that really a good idea?" He asked in concern as I sighed tirelessly. "It's the safest option" I explained as Archie leaned against my front door.

"For who?" He challenged crossing his arms. "For everyone Arch. I don't want Kevin being in cross hairs with the Trash Bag Killer" I emphasized as he left out a frustrated sigh.

"You're too vulnerable Betty. You're an open target" He explains taking a step closer to me.

"The sooner the TBK comes to me, the sooner its all over" I frowned looking up at him as he shook his head in disapproval.

"Are you listening to yourself Betty? It's too reckless" He reasoned as I rolled my eyes.

"Archie how many times do I have to go over this with you?" I exclaimed glaring at him irritably.
