When Crossing The Tracks-Sweet Pea

"Jug!" Toni yelled as we rushed towards him "What's wrong?" Jughead asked confused "Did you see the video?" Toni said and showed him the leaked video of Fangs and Midge on the night of the murder "Somebody leaked it on the register's website" I said "It makes Fangs look guilty as sin" Toni said. The principle's voice boomed through the halls, calling Fangs to the office "We have to find Fangs before the black circle does" Jughead said and rushed ahead "Woah, what the hell" Fangs said when him and Jug collided "We gotta get you out of here" Jugead said "You're dead, Vixen killer!" Reggie yelled, running down the stairs with the rest of the black circle "Mr. Fogarty, you need to come with us" the new Sheriff said as he stepped in front of us "I didn't do anything" Fangs said but when he tried to push through them, they caught him and pinned him to the wall. His pocket knife slipped and the Sheriff tackled him to the ground, cuffing him. Jughead and Toni rushed after him but I turned around to look at Reggie "What the hell" I said, shoving him and making him stumble back a little "The fuck, Lila!" Reggie said "You're gonna regret this, Reggie" I said "You can't be serious, you're protecting a murderer?" Reggie asked "He didn't kill Midge!" I said "How do you know? Those South Siders are criminals" he said "You don't know anything about them, they're not criminals" I said "You know what? You'll realize it too once your little boyfriend turns out to be part of the murders, I mean his buddy was already caught so where is he now" Reggie said "You want to start a war, Reggie? Fine, bring it. But just know one thing. You and your little black circle bullshit, your hero wannabe complex are all gonna come crashing down" I said "Why are you so sure?" he laughed "Because I'll do everything, everything I can to prove everybody in this shit town that the South Side doesn't have anything to do with the murders. That the Serpents don't have anything to do with the murder" I said "You? Yeah right. We'll see about that" he smirked "Believe me, you will. And mark my words cause when I do, it's gonna be you and your little entourage that the whole town of Riverdale will hate. You're not gonna win, not Hiram, not the Black Hood because you know what you all have in common? Me" I said "Don't think so highly of yourself, you're just a little girl with issues" he chuckled "You'd be surprised" I said and looked at Kevin, standing behind Reggie "I see you picked a side already" I said and left to find Sweet Pea.

"Jug!" I said as me and Attorney McCoy rushed up to him "Oh thank God, c'mon" Jughead said and we walked into the station, right to the interrogation room where Fangs was held and being questioned "Don't say another word. I'll be legally representing Mr. Fogarty" McCoy said and Fangs sighed in relief as he saw us. They moved him to a cell while McCoy talked to the Sheriff "Thanks guy, I thought I was gonna die in there" Fangs sighed "We got you, Fogarty" I smiled and held his hand "How the hell did you convince McCoy to help us?" Jug asked "That doesn't matter. But Fangs I promise, you'll be out of here" I said and he nodded "I have to go tho, the debate is gonna start soon and Betty texted me to be there. But I'll come right back after, okay?" I said and Fangs nodded "Alright, I'll see you guys later" I said and left.

"Jug!" I yelled out as I ran into the station "Lila!" Sweet Pea said, wrapping his arms around me "Lila, what happened at the town hall?" Jughead asked "T-The Black Hood was there. But it doesn't make sense" I said "Did anyone get hurt?" Toni asked "No, nobody got hurt" I said, trying to catch my breath "Guys, we have to find another way to get Fangs out of here, no way we can push through that crowd" I said "What do we do, man?" Sweet Pea asked, clutching onto my hand "I don't want to die" Fangs cried "You're not gonna die, okay? I promise" Jughead said. The Serpents gathered around Fangs, making sure to do their best to shield him from the mob "What the hell is Reggie doing here?" I yelled over the people's screaming "What?" Sweet Pea said as he whipped his head around. Reggie was tackled to the ground by Archie. A gun was fired and Fangs stumbled backwards "No!" I yelled out and looked at the 2 boys on the ground, just as shocked as everybody else.
