Only Jughead, Betty and Jade went to where Joaquin said the duffle bag should be. They looked around the place until Jughead spotted it in a pile of tree limbs.
"Hey, I found it." The boy said, digging it out of the mess.
He carefully unzipped it before taking out a Riverdale High varsity football jacket. Jason's jacket.

"This is meant to help FP?" Archie said.
They were all sitting in Archie's garage, trying to figure out why FP would send them after.. that.
"I don't know, it looks more like incriminating evidence to me." Kevin said.
"Yeah.. this just confirms that he torched Jason's getaway car." Jughead said, beginning to lose hope.
"And, that his confession was true." Kevin added.
"Why would Joaquin say that Jason's varsity jacket is dangerous?" Betty said, scratching her head, "What could that mean?"
"I can ask my father." Veronica said entering the garage. The raven haired girl was still dead set on her father paying FP to kill Jason Blossom, "He would know, considering we found concrete proof that he hired the serpents to kill Jason.. Which probably means FP did pull the trigger.. I'm sorry, Jughead, Jade."
"No. No. No, I'm not giving up yet." Jade said grabbing the jacket off the floor. She sighed and looked at Archie, an idea forming. "Put this on." She swung the jacket over the boy's figure.
"What?" The boy asked, dumbfounded.
"Put it on."
"This is weird."
The brunette put her hand in the jacket pockets and spoke, "There's a hole in the pocket."
"Okay, now we're just grasping at straws." Kevin retorted.
"Okay, no. I don't know about you guys but, whenever I have a hole in my jacket pocket I always lose coins in the lining."
"Or my Montblanc." Veronica commented.
"Hold on." Jade said before pulling a flash drive out of the jacket pocket.
"What the hell?" Veronica said.
"Nancy Drew who?" Kevin said and Betty rolled her eyes, luckily without anyone seeing, because she liked being the detective.
☆
Betty plugged the flash drive into Jughead's computer as they all sat around.
"Oh, my god." Veronica said.
A tear rolled down Betty's face, right before everyone gasped. Having just seen the video of Jason Blossom's murder.
"Oh, my god." Veronica repeated, tears in her eyes as well.
The blonde girl holding the computer closed it before getting up and calling someone on her phone.
"Betty." Jughead said but she didn't look back.
"Betty, who are you calling?" Archie asked.
"You have to get out of that house. Listen to me.." Betty spoke to the person on the other end of the call.

They group followed Jughead into the Sheriff's station as he ran in there.
He argued with the sheriff until he was shouting, and that's when Jade grabbed him by his jacket.
"I'm sorry, Sheriff. He's had a bad night.." She said quickly before dragging Jughead out of the Sheriff's station.
"You know I'm all for yelling at people. But, not people that can put you in jail, Jug. I've been doing this a whole lot longer than you, you can't just go around yelling at the authorities. The last thing I need is you in jail too."
