'I was running out of time, and maybe so was Riverdale. Hiram Lodge had been making moves. Big moves, but with no proof of criminal behavior all we could do was speculate. What was Hiram's master plan for Riverdale? And what did it feel so close to fruition? '

Mila had fallen asleep at the table, dozing off while the two worked, but Jughead didn't want her to leave, and he didn't have the heart to wake her to move her, So he placed a pillow under her head and let her sleep. 
"Hey." Fp called out as he walked into his trailer. 

"Shh!" Jughead said frantically, looking over to Mila to see her turn her head, but she was still asleep. He sighed in relief realizing she didn't wake up. "Sorry, she hasn't been sleeping right for a while, she's tired, i just don't want her to wake up." Jughead explained. 
Fp smiled at how his raven haired boy cared for his girlfriend. It wasn't anything like Fp had seen before. 

"All good." Fp chuckled, looking over to the sleeping girl, then his eyes trailing up to the map of sorts above her. "But what's all this?"

"Hopefully, this is the article that saves the town from Hiram Lodge." Jughead stated. 

"Jughead..." 

"If i can fit the pieces together." 

"Boy, you need to drop this. He rescued us." Fp told his son while Jughead was pouring coffee. "He bought the trailer park, forgave our debts." 

"What? He's the reason we almost lost the trailer park." Jughead fired back.

"Hiram's slicker than a bottle of snake oil, no doubt, but this is-" 

"Dad." Jughead called but Fp was still going, "Dad, please!" Jughead whisper shouted, briefly looking over to his sleeping girlfriend. "Hiram Lodge just bought the Riverdale Register. He's trying to silence dissenting voices before he makes his big play." Fp looked back up to the teens work, and sighed. 

"He's afraid. He's afraid of this exposure." Jughead added.

Mila and Jughead had been inseparable, more so now than before since the lake house. So both serpents were sitting in the 'Serpents and Swords' meeting room, when Archie walked in. "Hey... guys. Can we talk?" Mila looked up from her homework to see the red head walking closer. She just looked back down, finishing her Chemistry homework.

"Well, that depends." Jughead sighed. "Who's asking? You? Veronica? Or the archfiend himself?" 

"Guys, there's gonna be a special election to replace Josie's mom. Hiram Lodge wants my dad to run." 

"Why?" Mila asked, still looking down at her papers. 

"Who freaking knows? Jughead, Mila, i'm with Veronica, so that means i'm with the Lodges."  Mila let out a cough, letting out the word 'bitch' in between, then clear her throat and getting back to work. "But, my dad, i can't let him get in any deeper with them." Mila looked up to see Archie was staring right at her, she placed her pen down and leaned forward to hear what Archie had to say.
