It was the ultimate cliffhanger. Clifford Blossom had killed himself. But why? Life's not an Agatha Christie novel. It's a lot messier.

"What the hell is Cliff Blossom doing with drugs?"

Turns out, maple syrup was a front for his true business. Transporting heroin from Montreal on his trucks. A narrative quickly emerged.

That Jason Blossom learned about dear old Dad's drug running,and threatened to expose the truth. Which led to Jason's abductionat the hands of a Southside Serpent named Mustang.

And then to Jason's murder at the hands of his father.

Clifford killed Mustang to cover his tracks, making it look like he'd overdosed,and tried to implicate a rival businessman, Hiram Lodge, as having masterminded the whole thing.

And, oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Mr. Blossom threatened our lifes, so that my dad would confess to pulling the trigger,even though all he did was clean up the mess.

"Here you go, Ev and Juggy"

And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for a group of pesky kids who uncovered the truth.

Even as Clifford Blossom, consumed by guilt and shame, took the coward's way out...

Jason's murder had revealed some dark truthsnone of us were too eager to face. Especially not Mayor McCoy, who wanted every last vestige of corruption crushedlike a snake under a boot heel.

I was worried i haven't seen Heaven at all she's been distant lately and she hasn't come to school in days she must still be heartbroken for Jason i understand her and Jason were like brother and sister. I was at the station with jug as Sheriff Keller spoke to our uncle

"So, Blossom was the kingpin, he funneled drugs through Riverdale and then shipped them out. What the Mayor and I care about is the local component of Blossom's business. Someone is selling his drugs here in Riverdale. Mostly in the Southside... Hmm. But it's started to cross the tracks, recently, too."

"And you think it's the Serpents?"

"Who else? So here's the deal. You feed us names, tell me who's pushing the dope, and the Mayor, the DA have a chat, and maybe he'd be inclined to offer you a lesser sentence."

"Serpents don't get into the hard stuff. It's dime bags of weed. And I'm no snitch."

"FP, if you don't help us and your case goes to trial, there will be no leniency. You'll be looking at 20 years in a federal penitentiary for your part in the cover-up of Jason Blossom's murder." I rub the bridge of my nose annoyed why does he have to be such a hardhead.

My baby girl hasn't eaten or spoke for nothing only a short sentence to me or lavander, we would try and get her to come outside but no luck she would sit in bed staring at the ceiling either crying about Jason or sleeping. One day we walked in her room she was humming soflty moving her head writing in a note
