Riverdale High Class

E°L°E°V°E°N

Mercy POV

When I walk out of my room I see my mom sitting on the couch a small smile on her face. I don't really feel like talking but I guess.

Me:Hey mom.

She looks at me and smiles getting up and grabbing my shoulders.

Mom:Hiram may be getting out some time soon!

Me:*fake laughs* that's great! Yeah we totally need three big headed rich men running Riverdale. Two being in the mob perfect! I'm assuming the lodges are moving to New York again?

She sighs and drops her hands and put them on her hips.

Mom:Mercy, stop being like that, your dad is coming home!

Me:I'd hope I mean we're here... Anyway are you coming to the dance?

Mom:I wouldn't miss it. You going to school?

Me:Of course, see you later mom.

Mom:Love you baby.

Me:Love you too.

I grab my keys from the bowl and leave out, I get on my bike and head to drama central aka, school. When I make it inside I run into Veronica who grabs me and pulls me into the media room, I see Alice and Betty inside the room, oh boy.

Me:Morning Ladies.

Mrs. Cooper:Ladies, I need you to look around the room. Whoever is not in this room is on the table as a possible murder suspect... Including those pussycats.

Betty:Oh my God, mom...

Mrs. Cooper:Now, let's talk about your father.

Veronica:He has an epic grudge against the Blossoms, so yes. It's totally within the realm of possibility. That he hired someone from jail to kill Jason. Maybe Jughead's dad.

You can tell she never been around her parents when dealing with things. Doesn't she know hatred brings in more money than love? And why FP? I roll my eyes and sit on the desk.

Betty:You really believe that?

Veronica:My dad paid Jughead's dad to trash the drive-in. Maybe he paid him to--

Alice:-Commit murder. And for all we know that gay greaser serpent is an accomplice.

Betty:And what are you basing that off of? That you saw FP and Joaquin talking?

Alice:It didn't look like they were talking. It looked like they were conspiring.

Me:So they were hunched over arms over shoulders grinning evilly while talking in whispers at a party upstairs? Nice.

Mrs. Cooper looks at me and I just shrug, I'm just saying.

Betty:Conspiring about what?

Alice:That's what I need you to find out. But Mercy what about your dad? Is he have any bad blood with the Blossoms?

Me:Everyone has bad blood with the Blossoms, but my dad doesn't believe in spilling blood on business documents especially a child's. He has no reason to suddenly off a kid running away.

Alice:Alright so either through Jughead or FP directly, without raising suspicion of course. Which is why I have prepared a seemingly innocuous list of questions.

Betty:I already asked Jughead, point blank, if he thought his father had anything to do with Jason's death, and he said no.

Me:That and Jughead doesn't even talk to his dad, well he didn't used to. He didn't even live with him. So the odds of FP telling or showing Jug anything is a dead end.
