Forever And Always

Chapter 29

 The next morning, Callie was getting ready when she got a call from Jughead.

" Hey, what's up?" Callie asked.

"I need you to do some research on serial killers," Jughead said. " See if any of them is like the black hood."

"I'm on it," Callie confirmed. 

" I already got the zodiac killer, Axeman, and Phantom killer," Jughead listed.

"Wait why don't you ask Betty or Toni for help?" Callie asked.

" You figured out who killed Jason before the rest of us," Jughead reminded her.

"And that landed me in trouble," Callie reminded him. " But I will do it." She then hung up and went to school. She checked out books on Jack the Ripper, John Wayne Gacy, and Lizzie Borden. The next couple of days Callie would meet up with Jughead at his trailer and work on the serial research

Jughead was now at school he just got off the phone with Betty when he saw the Serpents at lunch. They were all gathered around Sweet Pea's laptop, watching Archie's video.

"Hey, guess we are not watching funny cat videos?" Jughead asked he approached them.

"Check this out," Sweet Pea suggested as he turned the laptop around for Jughead to see. " Some sick-in-the-head Northsider posted a crazy-ass video, and we were just talking--"

"About what?" Jughead asked.

" Fogarty wants to earn his Serpent stripes, Sweet Pea mentioned. " I say bring us the head of that Northsider, and you're in."

" I'm down with that," Fogarty agreed, Sweetpea laughed and pounded the table.

"No, guys, don't," Jughead protested.

"What Jones?" Sweet Pea asked.

"I know this guy, he's a milquetoast," Jughead stated. " He's football player. It's kind of a lame target, is all I'm saying." They all looked at him. " You wanna prove something? Why don't you go after the Black Hood?"

" And why would we do that?" Sweet Pea asked. " The Black Hood's targeting Northsiders, who do nothing but blame the Southside for everything that's wrong with this town. And we're sick of it. The Black Hood's doing our work for us. He's a hero." Soon they all started to leave, it was just Toni, Jughead, and Sweet Pea left.

"What happens if the Black Hood goes after Callie?" Jughead asked.

"Why would he do that?" Sweet Pea asked.

" You said yourself, the Black Hood is targeting Northsiders, and she is a Northsider," Jughead pointed out. " And she is not as innocent as she seems."

"How would you know?" Toni asked.

"I lived with and her family for like 3 weeks or so,"  Jughead answered.  " Look, if you go after this kid, she will never forgive any of you."

" Why is that? " Sweet Pea asked. " Does she have a thing for him?"

"He is her twin brother," Jughead answered.

At Riverdale high, Callie walked into the newspaper room with Kevin. They saw Betty at the table, with her hands folded and an envelope saying, Betty. She looked pretty terrified

" Betty, okay," Kevin began. " So, telling my dad about me cruising the woods? Not cool. He ever told my mom about it." The two took a seat. " Also, I've re-upped my online membership to redstatemeat.com, so there'll be no cruising for the foreseeable." She didn't respond.
