Riverdale is like Bizarrotown, where murder, mystery, and candy drugs aren't the exception, they're the norm. You forget sometimes that people are still just living their lives. Doing things as ordinary as getting married. *** "We're dead. We're officially dead. That, or we're about to have our kneecaps broken, courtesy of whoever this mystery buyer is." Veronica tells me as I walk up to her in La Bonne Nuit.
"You should've called me." I tell her.
"I combined both our liquid funds from Pops and La Bonne Nuit. We're not even a quarter the way there." Veronica tells me.
"You and Reggie shouldn't have burned them." I tell her.
"I know. I know." Veronica tells me.
"What about Reggie's dad's dealership? Probably enough to make up the cash." I tell her.
"I'm not gonna ask Reggie to steal from his own family." Veronica tells me.
"It's not stealing if it's his it's more like borrowing money from himself in the future. Think about it V. Because I'm now in this mess you two made." I tell her.
"This is lunacy. But it might be inspired lunacy. How would we get it out at all done?" Veronica asks.
"Looks like you need to give Reggie a call. Just remember you both dragged my name into it, so I'm now in this mess with you." I tell her. *** Me and Veronica are sitting in Reggie's car when guns suddenly fire and I turn to look out of the mirror to see Reggie wearing a gargoyle mask running towards the car and Veronica starts the engine.
"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!" Reggie exclaims as he hops into the car, and we see his arms covered in red as he tosses the mask in the back next to me.
"Oh, my god, Reggie, were you shot?" Veronica asks him.
"Yeah. I got the money but turns out there was security after all." Reggie tells her.
"Well, are you okay--" Veroncia goes to ask and I groan.
"For god's sake women! Drive the damn car!" I exclaim to her, and she drives us away. *** "I can't believe I was shot." Reggie tells us as I help Veronica patch him up in La Bonne Nuit.
"You sure you don't wanna go to a doctor, Reggie?" Veronica asks.
"Nah, it's just a graze. Besides, now I can say I've been shot." Reggie tells her.
"Except that you can't, if we want everyone to believe that the gargoyle gang robbed your father's dealership." I tell him.
"Right. Right. Okay. Let's see how much money we just comped." Reggie tells us as he stands up.
"And pray it's enough." Veronica tells us and Reggie opens the bag, and a dye pack explodes and covers him.
"You've got to be kidding me. A dye pack?" I ask.
"Oh, hell. We're screwed." Reggie tells us.
"You can say that again." I tell him. *** "Whoever you are, please be chill." Reggie tells us as the three of us stand outside his car at the meeting spot as a car drives up to us and then Reggie tosses down the duffle with the money.
"Veronica and Quinn Lodge, I presume? I can't believe your mom sent you out here to sort out her mess. Hey, I know she's cutthroat but, man, that's cold as ice. And Quinn I've heard things about you, and I must say I'm impressed. Being a Lodge and the Serpent Queen. Wow, just wow." the woman tells us.
"Sorry, are we supposed to know you?" Reggie asks.
"I'm Gladys Jones. You may know my kid--" Gladys tells us before I cut her off.
"Jughead." I tell her.
"Yes!" Gladys exclaims as she points at me.
"What?" Veronica asks.
"Seriously?" Reggie asks.
"You're Jughead's mom?" Veronica asks.
"That's how you knew about me being the Serpent queen, Jughead told you." I tell Gladys.
"Mrs. Jones, if you could give us a little more time, I know we can get you the rest of the money. Just don't break our kneecaps." Reggie tells her.
"I gotta say, I do admire the fact that you three came out here knowing you were short. Shows you know how to take responsibility." Gladys tells us.
"Actually, it's just them my name was dragged into this. Which is why I'm here." I tell her as I point at Veronica and Reggie.
"I see. Look at the two of you. You kind of remind me a little bit of me and FP back in the day. So, I'll tell you what, I'm gonna be sticking around for a while. So, I will take your money, but I'm gonna have to charge you a fee, because I'm gonna need to get it laundered. Every which way." Gladys tells us.
"Understood." Veronica tells her.
"And then, we'll figure out a payment plan for the rest. But in exchange, you're gonna lend me those sweet wheels. Oh, and Quinn you're off the hook." Gladys tells us.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jones." I tell her.
"Not Bella." Reggie tells Gladys.
"Please, Mrs. Jones, Reggie loves that car." Veronica tells her.
"Then I'll make sure I take real good care of her. Oh, wait, one more thing. Just as a favor, don't tell Jughead about our business. I mean, if you do, I'm gonna have to tell Hiram about his missus going behind his back for a cut, and that'd be bad for all of us." Gladys tells us.
