chapter 7: the plan

Betty and Jughead had taken their food and went to the Riverdale Choice, previously known as the Blue and Gold, to work on this case.

As they finished eating, the two sat there laughing as they talked about old memories.

"Remember when we went to the swimming hole and you gave me your beanie?" Betty smiled.

"Yeah, you were pretty special. That beanie was very important to me."

"I knew," She smiled.

"Hey, what about that time you threw the baby shower for your sister and made me go?" 

"I did not make you go. You voluntarily went," Betty insisted.

"Okay, I did. And I enjoyed it overall, especially all the Cooper-Blossom drama."

"That was before Cheryl and I knew we were related too.. That still haunts me."

"What? You being related to Cheryl or Polly having kids with her cousin?"

"Jughead, you know what I mean," She laughed.

"Yeah.. anyways, uh, did you feel like working on this case today? If not, we don't have too," Jughead asked her.

"The sooner we get this solved, the better," She said, opening her laptop and taking out her notepad.

"So, we know that he is keeping tabs on you." Jughead said, going over his notes.

"And he's calling me.. And threatening my family." 

"Betty, don't let him get in your head. Okay?" Jughead reassured her things would be okay.

She nodded, smiling. She wanted to believe him, but she couldn't.

"So, uh, we know that he's going after people in our town and the police aren't able to do anything. Now, I think our best bet is to lure him somewhere."

Betty paused for a minute. "Jughead, I have a plan."

"What is it?" He asked, wondering.

"We have to lure him somewhere, right? What about I lure him to the Whyte Wyrm?"

"Betty, what do you mean?"

"Next time he calls me, I'll tell him I'll turn myself in if he promises to leave my family alone. Then I can tell him to meet me at the Whyte Wyrm once they close for the night."

"That's not safe.. You can't-"

"Jughead, I don't care if it's safe. I can, and I have to."
