{UNFINISHED}We Won't Give Up//J.J.||Riverdale[sequel to The Diner]

Chapter 34

*Your POV*
Archie closes the case and picks it up. We walk back downstairs and to my car. I drive to the school. I go up to the door to open it but it's locked. I sigh. "Wait," Veronica pulls out a bobby pin from her hair, letting a piece of it fall freely. I take a step to the right and let her through. She messes with the lock a little bit and it budges. She looks up at me and smiles, like a genius.

I chuckle, "Well done, Nancy Drew." (Ya I know that's Betty's thing but I don't know haha)

"Gracias." We walk into the school and to the Blue and Gold office. I look around to see if anyone's here and then walk in.

"Okay so," I start pacing, "basically, it was a family of five."

"But why would they think that it was four?" Archie asks, leaning against the desk.

"Maybe one of them survived," Veronica says.

I look up at her, "Maybe he escaped."

Her eyes widen, as if she's getting more ideas, "He could be alive right now. We just have to find out who he is."

Archie looks down and starts flipping through some pages. "Mary Conway, Jim Conway, Susan Conway, Tommy Conway, and...Joseph Conway."

"Joseph Conway," I mutter. Veronica and I walk closer to the desk.

Archie keeps reading through the files, "Apparently he attended a local high school?"

"We have to match his names up to one of the yearbooks from Riverdale High."

"How many years would that have been?" Veronica asks.

Archie sighs and thinks, "I'm not sure. It happened 40 years ago so.."

"1977," I say. They both look up at me. I nod, "40 years ago. 1977. I mean, we could look maybe through 1978 and 1976 too."

"Good idea." Veronica says, "Do you think that they'd just be in the library?"

I shrug, "We can check."

"You guys go do that, I'm going to look more into this," Archie says, sitting down.

"Okay. We'll be back." Veronica says. We both walk out of the room and start walking towards the library. She sighs, "All of this stuff is crazy."

"I know. But hey at least you're getting to know more about it. Heck even me."

She looks at me, "What do you mean? I thought you were all over this stuff."

I shrug, "I don't know. Betty and Jughead did most of it." We reach the library. I open the door and walk in. She's right behind me. "Okay yearbooks, yearbooks, yearbooks," I mutter.

"Over here?" She asks, motioning to a shelf. We both walk over and start looking through them. They're all in chronological order.

"So many.." I say.

She chuckles, "Yeah I guess." We both keep looking. I think she might be closer because I'm just running into the 1940s. "1977," she says. I look up and walk over to her. She gets four yearbooks, 1976, 77, 78, and 79. "We're probably not even gonna need all of these but," she shrugs.

I nod, "Yeah." We walk out of the library and back to the Blue and Gold. Archie's looking through some papers. Veronica puts the books on the desk.

He looks up, "Damn." I chuckle. I grab the first book and start flipping through the pages. I reach the page with all of the students' pictures on them. I go to the 'C' section, but don't find any Conways.

"You don't think he could've changed his last name, do you?"

Veronica shrugs, "I don't think so."
