It's a classic trope of mob movies. Rich, high-rolling gangster takes small town kid under his wing. Small town kid is ushered into an intoxicating but dangerous life of crime.

Mercy POV
I sit with FP and Jughead when Someone knocks at the door, Jughead goes to answer it.
Jughead:Sheriff Keller, what a surprise.
Keller:Jughead. FP... Mercy. Sorry to bother you. It's...
Jughead:We do not have General Pickens' head. And we do not know who stole it.
Me:I wish we did.
FP sends me a look and I roll my eyes shutting my mouth.
FP:Same as the last four times you came by to ask us and our neighbors.
Jughead:You know, sheriff these visits are starting to feel like harassment. There's absolutely no evidence.
Me:It's almost like you guys want a mass murderer to be proud in Riverdale. Hey what's the news on the black hood. You know the one who shot me and left me for death?
Sheriff Keller:We don't have anything else on him.
Me:Un uh, yeah seems like you guys love to honor mass killers. Sounds about-- let me shut up.
He raises an eyebrow at me and I buck mine at him. The only reason I didn't say it is because Jughead and FP are right here.
Jughead:Zero proof what so ever, pointing to any particular group of suspects.
Sheriff:Well you did write a rather scathing article about the general's legacy, which prompted the Southside serpents to stop by Pickens day with an ax to grind.
Jughead:Everyone has access to that paper, not just south siders, maybe a Northsider agreed and decided to push the letter. Everyone there heard Topaz's argument are you questioning all of them?
Sheriff:They have no reason.
Me:So that means I have no reason right?
Sheriff:You added to the uproar.
Me:And I have yet to see you at my house, I marched with them which means I'm guilty by association along with every student that attends Riverdale who are friends with a Southsider and every person who works with a Southsider so are they getting questioned?
He stares at me and I smirk.
Me:If you come back around here without any evidence of conviction I'll have no choice but to raise a loud complaint against you and your men for Discriminatory harassment.
Jughead:And I'm also writing a new article on how you guys seem to be more concerned with catching a vandal rather than the black hood, got a quote for me?
FP snickers and Mr. Keller shakes his head and leaves. FP just holds out a hand to both of us we high five him. He shakes his head.
FP:You two are good at that shake down thing.
Jughead:It's what we do.
I pop my collar and we laugh. I take a sip of my coffee and Jughead looks at me.
Jughead:Where's Jenson?
Me:I don't know, why?
Jughead:Just asking you know because you've been attached by the lips since he came to Riverdale.
