Fangs Fogarty | Riverdale

4 | Black Hood

Everyone talked about this shooting that happened last night in the woods. But I hadn't been told who the victim was.

"Midge covered in Moose's blood, screaming like a banshee. It was insane" Kevin told us. The colour in my face drained and my hands shook at what Kevin told. That's some serious shit going on in this town.

"Kev, What were you even doing there? You could've been shot too" Archie said as he walked in.

"Hey, are you okay? You look very pale?" Betty asked me and took my shaking hand.

"I'm just—it's just awful, all of this. I mean who would do this kind of thing. It is insane" I say and scoff.

"I was just doing night-jogging, you know, as one does, and suddenly, I hear gunshots" Kevin said and Betty and I scrunched our faces.

"Can we agree there's a killer on the loose?" Archie said and sat down.

"With terrible aim" Jug scoffed.

"Jughead, he murdered Ms. Grundy" Archie said and I raised an eyebrow before raising a hand.

Veronica nodded at me questioningly.

"Who's miss Grundy?" I ask and look around to see everyone look down.

"Never mind. I wasn't that curious" I say and shrug.

"Arch, we don't know these these crimes are related" Betty said after my last comment.

"Guys, can we focus on what matters here?" Veronica said.

"Midge and Moose are alive. Archie's dad survived. The Matchelrette starts tonight. You're all coming over to watch" Veronica said and I raised an eyebrow before nodding.

Better staying anywhere else than my own house, it's so boring. And I can't go to the Southside, not after how pissed Fangs got at me.

"There's a shooter terrorising the town. You really want us to watch a gross dating show?" Jughead said.

"What I really want is for you guys to meet my dad officially. Back in New York, my dad was always in his study, doing bad things, as it turns out" Veronica said and paused.

"I'm tired of closed doors. I need to know my dads life and he needs to know mine" Veronica finished and I put my hand on her shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze.

She looked up and smiled at me.

"Well, we'll be there, V. Can't wait" Betty spoke for us and I nodded.

"Than you" Veronica said happily and relieved.

"Hey Andrews, we're going to the hospital to see Moose. You coming?" Reggie came in and asked.

"Yeah, for sure. I'll see you tonight, Ronnie" Archie said and went with the bulldogs.

"I better go. Was supposed to meet my peer mentor at Southside High half an hour ago" Jughead said and I coughed on air. Southside?

"Wait—are?" Betty started and walked after Jughead.

"Damn. Is everything always so....dramatic and hectic?" I ask wide eyed.

"Yeah, pretty much. But it helps when your friends comforts you. And thank you for that" Veronica said to me and I smiled.

"Anytime, you were so great when I started here, I like it here, and that's all thanks to you and Betty" I say and smile as Veronica cheers.

I started thinking as Veronica and I left for the next class.

What if—the black hood guy went after people who was doing something...bad?
