Queen of the Serpents- [Sweet Pea] // Riverdale

7

*Natalie's POV

It was the next day and everyone in Riverdale had now heard the news. That Mr. Blossom had been shipping in heroin and using his business as a simple cover up, and that he possibly had something to do with the murder of his own son.

"So Blossom was the kingpin." Sheriff Keller spoke. Jughead and I were currently visiting FP in jail. "What the Mayor and I care about is the local component of his business." Sheriff Keller told FP as he sat on the edge of the desk. "Someone is selling his drugs here in Riverdale, mostly on the Southside." I began to laugh. "You think this is funny." Sheriff Keller looked at me getting up from the desk.

"Yeah I do, I think it's funny that you think it's the serpents that deal that shit," I argued back making FP chuckle in amusement.

"Here's the deal FP, the drugs had started to cross the tracks, so you give us some names and maybe your sentence would be lighter." He said turning his attention to FP.

"You should listen to Natalie," I smirked as the sheriff turned to look at me. "Serpents don't get into the hard stuff, it's just dime bags of weed." FP said sounding truthful. "And I'm no snitch." He spat sitting back against the wall.

"FP if you don't help us, you go to trial, and you're looking at 20 years for the cover up of Jason Blossom's murder." Sheriff Keller got close to FP's cell. I looked at Jughead who sat there watching his dad closely.

"So, have you visited FP lately," Fangs asked me as he bent down to take his turn. Fangs and I were currently playing pool as Toni was just finishing up her shift.

"Yeah, he's hanging in there," I told him nonchalantly. Fangs ended up missing and it was now my turn. "Eight ball corner pocket," I said pointing to where it was gonna go in. I bent down while breathing in slowly and exhaled. I hit the eight ball and it went in. "Ha, pay up Fogarty," I smirked sticking my hand out. Fangs groaned pulling out his wallet.

"What's up Fangs," a voice spoke up from behind me. "Nat." Sweet Pea greeted me. I ignored him as Fangs placed a twenty in my palm.

"Thank you," I said waving his money in his face and stuffing it in my jacket. "Wanna lose some money, Sweets," I turned to Sweet Pea.

"Please," he rolled his eyes at me. "I could beat you with my eyes closed."

"Is that a bet I hear," I raised cocking an eyebrow.

"Fine," he pulled his wallet out looking through it. "A hundred bucks," he said smacking two fifty dollar bills on the pool table.

"You versus Sweet Pea," Toni asked in disbelief.

"Guess so," I shrugged my shoulders. Word on the Southside was that I never lost at a game of pool, and it was true, especially when it came down to a bet. No one could beat me, but I've been hearing that Sweet Pea was actually pretty good at pool too, and he's never lost a game either.

"You guys are both gonna kill each other by the end of it," Toni joked.

"Are we gonna do this or not," Sweet Pea yelled grabbing the pool stick from Fangs. I noticed that a small crowd began to gather around, ready to watch the game. A few older and younger serpents in the mix. As I was about to answer him, my phone rang. I held a finger up to Sweet Pea, telling him to give me a sec. I pulled out my phone and saw...

Red

It was Archie...

"What do you want red," I asked Archie as I looked at an impatient Sweet Pea. "I'm kinda busy."

"I need you to come with me to go see FP," he demanded.

"What, why, is everything okay," I placed the pool stick on the table. "Is Jughead okay," I asked concerned.
