Riverdale | He Has Her Now | Edited

Chapter 7 | Jughead | The Wittness

I looked her dead in the eyes.

"How do you know Jellybean?"

"Was she brunette?"

"Yeah."

"I was a victim. Let's just say he was capable of killing if he wanted. He almost killed me."

We just sat there in dead silence.

"How old is he?"

I said breaking the silence.

"Around 30. Why?"

"Thought I saw him, must've been a witness."

"How did you get out?"

"She locked the door and put a book shelf in front of it. She took a chair and chucked it at the window, I was to weak to do any of that. But the window broke shattering and she helped me out the window, but she didn't get out and I just ran. I wanted to get the cops."

"Are they down there right now?"

"Yeah. They told me to get something to eat then some questioning will happen."

"Well let's just say your food is on the house."

I didn't want her to move away from the table, needing her for questioning. Pop walked over.

Handing her a menu.

"The ultra bacon cheese burger will fill you up the most."

"I'm fine with just some fries."

"Get anything. Really."

I said looking her dead in the eyes.

"Okay. I'll get the B.L.T. With water."

"You could've got more food then that. I don't mind."

"Sorry, its just last time I listened to someone, I regretted it."

"That's fine take your time. The world is a scary place. Just one question, what did he look like?"

"Jug. What if she's not okay yet thinking about him?"

Veronica said to me.

"It's okay. He let's just say has been by me my whole life."

Pops sat down her food and she just sat with us. I looked down at my phone. It was freezing up, until the a letter w popped up. I took a screen shot.

"Jug what's going on?"

Betty said curiously.

I told her nothing and hid my phone away. Not being sure I could trust the lonely girl with a rats nest. The girl pulled out a folded up piece of thick paper. She handed me it.

I unfolded the photo revealing something huge. Multiple men with their backs to the photo.

"Is it multiple men?"

"Yes. There's a problem. I only know one."

"Then how do you know there's multiple?"

"Because you see how there's ten?"

"Yeah?"

"He yelled one night, "You should've gotten the other girls!" But they all failed accept for four of them. He killed the other five leaving him and the ones who succeeded."

"How do you know he killed them?"

"Because their blood splattered on my face."

All of our eyes went wide. I looked over at her face seeing blood splatters all down the side of it.

"Did you try to look away?"

"Yeah."

"Which are killed?"

She circled the five with her hand.

"James, South, Sid, Journey, and Zion. Their triplets, South, Sid, and Sake."

"Sakes alive?"

"Yeah. He's the leader. He's the one who kidnapped and killed Jellybean. He kidnapped me."

"Why you guys?"

She stopped for a split second bitting her sandwich.

"Because we're on his bad side. Well she was."

"Okay. After the cops are done questioning you, were buying you some necessities. Betty could you do that? I don't know what to use to get her back to her original state."

"No problem Jug, Veronica and I will be right on it."

They both nodded. I looked over at Archie. Then the cops grabbed her by the arm pulling her away. Not before she took her arm back as self defense.

"Guys what do we do?"

"Help her." Veronica said.

"How do we know we can trust her?"

I said with wide eyes.

"Jug, she's hurt right now. We can keep an eye on her though. But no hurting her feelings. Right now she is on all defense mode she barely trusts the cops."

Betty said quietly.

"You have a point."

Few hours later.

The sun was half way in the sky when she finished her questioning. I looked up at the cop as he approached us.

"Jughead can you take care of her for a while? She has no family in the area, she said all of her family was killed. We still need to check in on that but for right now she needs someone."

All the sudden his walkie-talkie started to go off like crazy.

"We found someone! He defines the description!"

It screamed.

"I got to head out."

All the sudden I saw bright lights, lights that could blind you. We rushed outside making eye contact with him. His eyes were blood shot. Not who I thought it was. I looked at the photo realizing I may know who else was in it. That's when I kissed Betty's cheek and jumped on my motorcycle and pulled away on the shiny black paint. I heard their voices as I sped off. Trees started to pass me and raggedy old buildings. That's when I approached the school. South Side High.
