I hated lying to sweet pea he was mourning our friend yet he was in the bunker. I hope he would forgive me.
Me Cheryl and v watched and Archie and Betty walked down the halls hand in hand together.
We brought FP, Charles, jellybean, Alice, our sister, Archie's mom into our plan. Because Archie went rouge jellybean is super smart and our sister snoops to much.
We needed to find evidence to pin on them fast. I needed to tell sweet pea but I promised I wouldn't. I couldn't sleep at night anymore knowing I was keeping this big lie from him.
Jug was going to reveal himself to the stonies.
How everyone who received a contract for a book had to kill someone. Moose was supposed to be the next victim but mr chipping couldn't deal with the guilt and pushed him out on Halloween when he was supposed to be murdered as jug was locked away in a coffin. Mr chippings couldn't deal with the guilt so he killed himself. Which his wife told us how he could sleep anymore and how he has been drinking a lot more. But jug was circling the truth so he got the contract to put a target on his back. Donna led Betty away, Bret led jug into the woods where Joan hit him with a rock which his beanie kept him alive. Jonathan was supposed to check jugs pulse. He failed. After Betty was drugged and led to jug. They went back to the party where they ran into us.
They told us where to go. Archie gave jug cpr and he came back to life that's where we developed our plan.
He didn't wake up for 36 hours which is why we actually thought Betty did it until Betty called Charles and Charles helped us and met us with a fbi med van where they took him. Charles made us burn our clothes and clean up the scene. So we did that. Betty called Charles to hypnotized her and that's how we found out she had just been drugged. Once jug awoke he filled us in on the rest.
Dr curdle jr fake I'd a body as jug because he was also in on it.
Dupont killed his original secret society members.
Because they all knew he stole the Baxter book from Jughead grandpa and after building a multi million dollar Empire off of them. He got scared that someone would talk. So he killed them making them all look like accidental deaths.
Cut brakes
Tampered with fuselages
Compromised oxygen tanks
Until there was one person left. Jugheads grandpa who disappeared into the wind.
One of the people he killed went to see jugheads grandpa before he died and told him how dupont killed the other two.
Weird how just two days after him who was an expert diver drowned in shallow water.
So that's why he took off on FP collecting evidence on dupont for killing his friends.
The question is if moose was to be the next victim why was Jughead also invited.
Jughead was the bait to lure his grandpa out of hiding so dupont could end it once and for all.
After finding out what they did to Jughead his grandpa was more than happy to help take dupont and his evil stonies down for good.
After finding evidence at duponts house connecting him to the murders of his friends. Jugheads grandpa got the satisfaction of arresting him.
He threw himself out the same window chippings did like a coward.
And after that it was easy to get the rest besides Joan who had diplomat immunity and left the country.
Donna tried to pin everything on Bret but Charles wasn't falling for it.
Bret tried to challenge Charles and blackmail him into reducing his sentence a lot to just community service or Jughead and Betty's sex tape would be released.
FP and Jughead handed it and Bret's beaten face told him where the tapes were.
We watched Alice's documentary we all clapped as it finished
"Thank you thank you very much" Alice says
"Your report came out really good mom" Betty says
"Oh that's js honey I had a lot of help from an inside source" Alice says and kisses FP
"I'm gonna head out" Betty says
"Wait where are you going we're about to have cake" Alice says stopping Betty
"Um I will be back soon I just have one last T to cross" Betty says I go with her.
"Hello Donna" Betty says turning the light on
"Going somewhere?" I ask
"If you must know, I'm transferring to a new school." Donna says
"We'll I'm glad we caught you then. We wanted to congratulate you personally. Jughead, Avery and I heard that you're taking over the Baxter brothers." Betty says
"The brand is relaunching. As Tracy true. Jealous?" She asks Betty
"Your plan worked Donna you managed to get everyone else to do the actual dirty work." Betty says
"Hell even duponts dead" I say
"You covered your tracks extremely well." Betty says
"Betty, Avery....are you two really so delusional you would believe I would mastermind some elaborate conspiracy that caused the deaths of multiple people just to win a YA book contract?" Donna asks
"No" we both say
"But you would do it for revenge." Betty says
"Oh really? Revenge for what?" Donna asks
"The murder of your grandmother" I say
"Jane Dallas brown. One of the classmates dupont killed to cover up the ugly truth that he didn't create the Baxter brothers. She was your grandmother" Betty says
"How could you two possibly know that?" She asks
"A friend of a friend told me, you dedicated yourself to getting into stonewall prep and getting into chippings class and each step brought you ever closer to your grandmothers killer" Betty says
"You wanted revenge" I say
"So what was the original plan Donna? Win the contract no matter how many people had to die? And then stage an accident that would take care of dupont? So you could tear down the house that he built?" Betty asks
"Fascinating theory Betty, Avery you've left out one minor detail dupont didn't merely kill my grandmother he stole from her the same way he did from forsythe" Donna says
"Tracy true" I say
"The female teen detective who was introduced in the Baxter brother books she was your grandmothers invention." Betty says
"Now I've taken Tracy back and dupont is rotting in a grave." Donna says
"Huh" Betty says
"How did you really find out about my grandmother?" Donna asks
"My half sister she's a private investigator, even though I hate her she is damn good at her job" I say smiling
"Who supplied us with the medical files that confirmed that you are the granddaughter of Jane Dallas brown" Betty says
"Which gives the police a motive and links this entire web of death back to you" I say
"It's circumstantial at best, but I'll play one last round. What do you two want Betty, Avery?" Donna asks
"I want you to walk away from the Tracy true contract" Betty says
"Why in gods name would I do that?" Donna asks
"Fictional though she may be, Tracy deserves better, as does the memory of your grandmother." Betty says
"And you certainly don't deserve to profit off the near death of her boyfriend and my best friend" I say
"Or don't walk away that's fine but I will make sure every newspaper of every major city gets a copy of that medical file" Betty says
"And between us three Donna my father is a mob boss means he could get it all over the world if I bat my eyes and asked him to" I say
"You play nice from now on Donna we'll be keeping an eye on you" Betty says before we get up
And then we walk out smirking knowing we won.
The next day at school everyone knew Jughead was back from the dead. Sweet pea was a bit mad at me but understood I couldn't tell anyone. His reaction at the funeral had to be real and believable. He just wished I could've told him.
That night I went to pops
"Maybe something good did come out of this whole stonewall mess my dad and my grandfather talking again for the first time in 30 years who would've thought of that" Jughead says
"Do you think your dad will forgive him?" Arch asks
"Oh I don't know I mean, they have a lot of bad history between each other but....I hope so" jug says
"All right guys let's make a vow" Archie says and we all groan "I know. I know the last time we made a vow to have a normal senior year, everything went to hell pretty quick but we only have two, three months left. Let's end it on a high note" Archie says
"Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Archie and I will probably not be graduating with you guys?" Jughead asks
"Jug ok do you really think v, a and I are just going to sit idly by and not help our boyfriends and best friends graduate?" Betty says
"Archie Andrews and Jughead jones you will graduate" v says
"Even if it takes a thousand tutors, you will set aside everything. No more mysteries and make graduating your sole purpose in life" I say
"Why does that sound like a threat?" Jug asks Archie
"Because it is" I say we all put our milkshakes up
"To going out on top together" v says
"Cheers" Betty says as we all clink them together
"Cheers to that" jug says and we all drink
"Guys guys" kev says coming up to us
"I'm posting the sign up sheet for the variety show tomorrow you all have to perform even you Jughead" kev says
"Count us in kev" Betty says
"Oh hell yeah we are so in" I say
"Oh no" jug mumbles He pulls kev and he sits down across from me
"Check out this list of local names" kev says
