Betty, Jughead, and Veronica were speechless while they watched Archie being led out in handcuffs. Out of everyone in the school, they were the only 3 who knew Archie didn't kill Cassidy that night at Shadow Lake. The issue was, only Archie and Hiram knew who really killed Cassidy...and the real killer, was dead.
Betty looked back and forth from her best friend and boyfriend who had both frozen from shock. "V, Jug...what do we do?" Betty managed to gasp out.
"I'm sure I can talk to my dad and he can figure out a way to get Archie out of this." Veronica replied.
"Uhh Veronica...is that your dad over there in the hallway?" Jughead said, confused.
Veronica and Betty looked over to the dark hallway where Hiram was standing looking up at them, looking quite content. He then turned around and started to walk away.
"V, did your dad just get Arch arrested??" Betty asked.
"Guys, I swear I didn't know about this! Why would I want my boyfriend arrested?" Veronica quickly replied.
"Hmmm I don't know...Maybe because you wanted to always be 'daddys little girl' so you helped your dad frame Archie!" Jughead exclaimed.
"Jug, the last thing we need right now is to turn on eachother. Also, V would never do that to Arch, she loves him. What I think we need to do is go down to the Sherrif's station and talk to Arch." Betty said.
Jughead and Veronica agreed. When they arrived at the station, they found Sherrif Minetta drinking scotch with his feet up on his desk.
"We are here to see Archie." Jughead said, obviously annoyed by Minetta doing absolutely nothing.
"Sorry, visiting hours are over." Minetta replied staring at the drink in his hand.
"No. We are going to see Archie right now even if that means we have to go through you first." Betty said, digging her nails into tha palm of her hand, drawing blood. Jughead saw this and grabbed her hand to prevent her from hurting herself any more.
Minetta eventually agreed and led them back to Archie. He was sitting on the hard bed staring at the wall.
"Oh Archiekins!" Veronica exclaimed.
"Ronnie, Jug, Betty! I didn't shoot Cassidy! You have to believe me!" Archie said, getting up and grabbing onto the bars of his cell.
"We believe you, Arch. We need to find out who did shoot him!" Betty said, trying to hide her excitement for yet another mystery.
"Betty, the problem is that I know who killed him. Andre did. When Cassidy was running away from me, Andre found us and told me to go back and when I was walking away I heard him shoot Cassidy." Archie said.
"WHAT?!?" Jughead, Betty, and Veronica yelled in unison.
