Chapter 29

"Why are they still here?" FP asked his son. "They got expelled" Toni replied walking away from him. "For what?" FP asked looking at Toni. "Reasons" she shrugged walking away. "Boy" FP snapped his fingers at Jughead "Topaz just said Sweet Pea and Fogarty were expelled. Why? And don't lie to me" FP pointed his finger at Jughead.

"Serpents stick together" Jughead replied looking passed his dad at Sweet Pea and Fangs. "And we don't share secrets" with a sigh Jughead walked away. "What did they do Jughead!" FP shouted after his son.

"We didn't do anything" Sweet Pea replied walking over "just because we are in a gang shouldn't mean anything" Sweet Pea argued standing in front of FP. 

"I wasn't implying that Sweet Pea" FP twisted his face in confusion. "But what are you talking about?" He asked tilting his head slightly. "Like I'd tell you" Sweet Pea scoffed "there was a drug search and Fogarty was hauling pounds of fizzle rocks? Why is that Sweet Pea?" FP asked crossing his arms.

"You searched him?" Sweet Pea asked he shook his head. "And best friends don't share their secrets" Sweet Pea smirked.

"Why did he have them Sweet Pea?" FP pressed to the taller boy. "And why would I tell you? Weren't you the key criminal in Jason Blossom's murder? How could I possibly trust you to keep your snout shut?" Sweet Pea raised an eyebrow.

"To clean up his blood-" said FP, Sweet Pea laughed "you hid his body while Joaquin had cleaned up his blood because you were too afraid to get caught so you had Joaquin go after Keller's kid and use him for evidence."

"How do you know that?" FP asked "so it's true you did use the closest person you had that had contact with a cop." Sweet Pea nodded "if only Joaquin were here to explain to Kevin that he wasn't using him for anything and that he was set up in a murder just because he has- he had a past he didn't want to remember." Sweet Pea smiled "luckily for you he's gone. The gargoyle king killed him." And with that Sweet Pea pushed passed FP. "Come on Fangs, let's go" Sweet Pea called. "Fangs" Sweet Pea repeated looking back.

"Go Sweet Pea I'm fine- I'll be fine, I'll be back before you know it" Fangs frowned looking at the grass as FP out hand cuffs on him "I'll be okay, I promise, tarta dulce" Fangs looked up to see Sweet Pea looking at him. His eyes empty as he looked at the shorter boy. His smile faded and his eyes dulled.

FP grabbed Fangs' arm and led the shorter boy away to the police car. With one last glance Fangs smiled sadly at Sweet Pea before FP pushed him into the back. Getting in the drivers seat FP started the car and drove away with the shorter boy.
