Truth [Riverdale Season 1]

The Story Unfolds

**POV Julio**

FP refused to talk at the Wyrm so we headed back to his trailer to talk in private. We had our chat and then we had a drink and watched a game on the TV. That was until the door of the trailer began to open. I turned to look as FP stood up and seen his son Jughead at the door. A blonde girl entered after him. "Jughead." FP greeted setting down the cup he had been drinking out of. 

"Dad, Betty Cooper. Betty, this is my dad." Jughead introduced and I raised my eyebrows and took a sip from my beer. "Hi, Mr. Jones, nice to meet you officially." Betty stepped forward and shook his hand. "And you, and you. Um.." FP turned and hit my legs gesturing for me to sit up to make room on the couch. "This is Julio DeSantos. Julio, you know my son." FP stated as he fixed up the couch a bit as I sat up and waved over to the two teens. "Why don't you guys sit down?" FP was trying to be hospitable but I don't think it was working well. "This isn't really a social call." Jughead stated and I just shook my head. He probably already heard about what happened with Archie. "No. I didn't expect it would be after Archie showed up at the bar." FP agreed and turned to face his son.

"We know the Serpents had some kind of drug thing going on with Jason Blossom." I downed the rest of my beer at that moment and almost wanted to spit it back out at the direct statement from Jughead. "What?" FP asked as if he was confused by the statement. "Where'd you hear that?" Jughead was still looking at his father when he answered, "Jason's girlfriend." "My sister," Betty quickly added taking a small glance at me. So they knew about Yasmine and Jason, huh? FP sighs and rubs his face. "Should I go?" I asked. "Nah you can stay your sister's apart of this too right now and its better you know." FP said as he sat down in his chair. "The kid needed some money to get away. A clean-cut kid like that, no ones gonna suspect him of running, so we helped him, he helped us." FP explained something that I already partly knew of. "Jeez dad. Did you tell the cops that?"Jughead commented and got a snarky response. "What do you think?" Most the attention was on FP as Jughead informed him, "Well they know now. Polly told them. So if they haven't been by yet, they will be."

I huffed and slap my leg, "Wonderful another way they can turn this around on Yas." FP looked over at me and I sat forward running a hand through my hair. Betty stepped forward to ask the next question. "Did you ever talk to Jason? Personally?" FP's eyes were on me as he answered her question, "My guys gave him some product. When it wasn't delivered, we figured he'd took off with our stash, until..." "Until Jason's body was found at Sweetwater River," I finished for him remembering the day so clearly because my sister was so hurt by the news. It was quiet for a few seconds before FP asked if they had any more questions. Jughead looked right into his father's eyes and asked, "Did you have anything to do with Jason Blossom's death?" FP shook his head slightly, "You really think I could do that?" "It's the dark ages Dad. I don't really know what to think anymore." FP looked away as he spoke. "I'm not a perfect father, Jughead, no getting around that, but... I'm no killer." FP looked back at his son locking eyes. 

It was shortly after that that they left and I sat around for a little bit longer to talk with FP about what just happened before. It was a very tense topic. One that my sister was way too close to. One that I really just wanted to end so I could bring Yasmine home and get her as far away from this hell as I possibly could. This was one of those moments I was glad FP was around to help. Juaquin was called and in a few moments he arrived. 

"The heat is on. If the cops come around...this is our insurance in case everything goes to hell." FP stated tossing the bag he just stuffed Jason's jacket into to Juaquin. "Here, stash it somewhere safe." Juaquin stood and walked over as he looked right passed me feeling guilty that Yasmine was sitting in jail still. "How's it going with the Keller kid?" FP asked. "It's good he thinks we're legit." Joaquin answers. "Right on." Fp comments and I scoff from the couch where I haven't moved yet. "You know if Yasmine was here right now she would kick your ass for doing this to that boy." I stated glaring at my cousin's back. "We're going to need that inside line Julio so back off." Joaquin seemed to hesitate for a moment. "He likes me you know...for real." FP chuckles softly. "We all got a part to play. Including me." FP states as he opens a beer and I knew he wasn't lying because I already knew mine.
