I sat next to my brother, sipping on a cola in the Whyte Whyrm.

I glanced at him, a smile creeping up onto my face as I saw how fast he was typing, how engrossed he was.
I'm glad he's found something he's interested in, I'll admit, he's got talent, a lot more talent than me. I just hope this journalism thing stays put for him.
I don't want him getting distracted.

I then look back towards my phone and a message pops up from Betty.

Betty Boo🌸
Wanna meet at Pop's? I heard Jug has more info on who the black hood may be?????

Me
Yeh sure, we'll be there in a few🌝

"Come on, Jug" I say, putting my hand in front of his face.

He pushes my hand away.

"What?" He says. Not looking at me.

"Your girlfriend wants us to meet her." I say.

He nods and slowly shuts his laptop and I laugh.

"What?" He asks.

I shake my head, beginning to walk away, "nothing."

"What'd you find? Any truth to what that truck diver said about that murdered family?" Betty asks, leaning forward slightly.

"Yes, shockingly. Freddy Krueger didn't lie to me. A family of four was murdered by someone the press called the Riverdale Reaper. The victims were Jim and Mary Ellen Conway and their kids. Tommy was 10, Sue was 9.
The reaper was never caught or identified, so he could be our black hood." He says

I shake my head.
"He'd be in his 60s by now." I say.

Jug nods in agreement.

"Why did he do it? Kill them?" Betty asks.

I then turn my head to the side and notice someone standing, watching.

My lips part, and I stare harder.
Finley.

He starts to walk towards Pop's, and I quickly look down at the table, not wanting Jug to know he's here I quickly hop out the booth.

"Toilet." I say, simply.

Betty and Jughead nod, carrying on their convocation.
I run over to the doorway as I see Finley walking towards me.

"Stop." I say, pushing him back.

"Why?" He asks, grinning.

I push him outside, just incase Jughead or Betty sees me.

"Why the hell are you here? What is your problem?" I whisper shout.

"I've told you. I want revenge. You put me in Juvie? Don't you understand? My parents basically want me dead after they found out what I did to you.

You ruined my life. So now I'm doing the same to you." He says.

A crazed laugh escapes my lips as I run my fingers through my hair.

"I ruined your life?!! Oh my god. You really are delusional. I could go to Sheriff Keller right now, tell him that you're stalking me again.
I could land you straight back into Juvie? You do realise that?
Leave me alone. You're wasting your time." I say.

I see him get frustrated and he steps forward.
I quickly push him back with all my strength and he falls to the floor.

Then the sound of a car pulling up grabs my attention.
And I quickly run back inside.
