Forever And Always

Chapter 88

A few mornings later, Callie wast Pops with a marked man, and two love birds.

" Here's the deal Archie," Jughead began. " I checked with my dad, pulled all the files on Warden Noton after he committed suicide, and me and Callie cleared out his office and we found this." Jughead head showed many Kill Red Paladin quest cards in a plastic bag. " Quest card."

" Kill the Red Paladin," Archie read. " Like the one Ricky had."

" These two cards are identical," Callie informed. " That's the same design, same card stock. To me, that indicates that someone printed out multiple Kill the Red Paladin cards, put them out into the world."

" We need to find out who," Betty urged.

" I know where to start," Archie confirmed.

That night Callie was jamming out the Heathers when someone banged on her window. She jumped cautiously she walked to it, thankfully it was just Sweet Pea. She unchained the window and let him in.

" Hey," Callie said.

"Are you busy?" Sweet Pea asked.

" Yes," Callie confirmed.

" You're listening to Heathers," Sweet Pea noted.

" It's this year musical," Callie informed.

" I hate showbiz," Sweet Pea said. " Not really my style."

" It is mine," Callie informed.

" Can you to take a break?" Sweet Pea requested.

" I'm in a crunch," Callie denied. " Kevin is really on me about it."

" Well Fangs and I wanted to know if you wanted to get to Pops with us," Sweet Pea said.

" Not tonight," Callie said as she ushered him to the window. " Please leave." Sweet Pea glared at her and left.

The next day after school Callie sat in the Swords and Serpents classroom both FP and Mr. Keller was there.

" Today the Serpents start a new a chapter," Fp announced. " You're no longer outlaws, you're lawkeepers, which is why I've got Tom Keller here to help. He is the best damn Sheriff Riverdale's ever had."

" Well, thanks, FP," Mr. Keller laughed. " That's quite an introduction. Um, a lot of what we'll be doing over the next couple of months will be like basic training. Each junior deputy will be paired with an officer who will then mentor them."
" Jughead, boy, you're riding with me," FP requested. Everyone got up to leave.

" Where you going?" Jughead asked Callie.

" To work," Callie answered. " Have fun, be careful and see you all later." Callie got to work and not long after some Fizzle Rock junkier came in, spazzed out, and threw hot coffee all over Delores and they had to call it in. Not too long after Jughead and FP were walking in.

" Hey Pop," Fp greeted. " What's going on?"

" Some Fizzle Rockie spazzed out and threw hot coffee all over Delores," Callie explained. Then ran out of here."

" I thought Fizzle Rocks were gone," Jughead said. " This whole candy epidemic was over?"

" Yeah, but I've heard rumblings and rumors that someone's looking to reopen the candy store," FP said as he went to sit down and talk to Delores. Jughead then looked at Veronica suspiciously. 

" I wonder who," Jughead wondered.

" That's a good question," Veronica agreed before turning around.
