AMELIA HASN'T slept in so long and it was all Archie's fault. He placed his punchbag right next to the wall where her bed was. He punched the wall and the bag would slam against the wall. It was currently two in the morning. Her pillow was against her ear and she tried to ignore the noise but it was too loud. She slammed her hand against the door and the sound stopped.

Amelia yelled. "It's two in the God damn morning Archie shut up!"

The sound stopped and she smiled.

"Thank you!" Her dad yelled.

Finally. Maybe she could sleep now.

Kevin put the finally pin in his new found murder board. "This is how dad had his Jason Blossom murder board before it was trashed."

"Any leads on who did that? Or what they were looking for?" Jughead asked.

"Nope. No fingerprints. But they stole a bunch of files, background checks, and all the video and audiotapes of police interviews."

Amelia didn't ask why Sheriff Keller would bring this home instead of keeping this at the station. She felt as if she would get an unsatisfying answer.

"Maybe it was a ghost?" Amelia commented. The door to the Blue and Gold opened.

Amelia looked up to see Trev. Every Time her and Valerie hug out at her house he was always there. He was sweet, cute, she used to tutor him in algebra.

"Hey Betty..."

"Trev, hi!" Betty said happily.

"Sorry to interrupt," Trev said apologetically.

"Oh, no... Uh it's okay. We're just, uh working on..."

"Our murder board," Jughead said finishing Betty's sentence.

"Nothing weird. Don't worry you're not on it," Amelia said.

"Well, I just wanted to make sure we're still on for tomorrow," Amelia coughed loudly. Betty had a date? Betty had a date with Valerie's brother?

"Absolutely it's a date," Betty said. Amelia and Kevin gave each other a knowing glance.

"I mean, I'll... I'll see you there. Bye."

"Smooth," Amelia commented.

Trev bid them goodbye and walked out.
