Betty and Polly found Archie on the shore of Sweetwater river. As they approached him, they noticed he was staring at the river. Staring at blood.
"Archie." Betty said softly. He didn't even think before hugging them.
"I'm so sorry." Polly whispered, still not able to muster the strength to talk.
"He loved you so much Polly." Archie said before turning back towards the blood.
"What happened to him?" Betty asked.
A cold, broken laugh escaped Archie's lips.
"They found a bullet in his temple. And you know what, that's good enough for them." Archie shook with rage.
"That's impossible." Polly growled.
"I know! They don't care that he was happy. That he was in love. That he never would have left me and Cheryl to face life without him." Archie cried.
"I swear to you Archie, I will find who did this, and they will be punished." Betty pulled Archie onto the rocks to sit and Polly joined them. There they sat, watching the blood wash away in silence.
