Chapter 9
Two Days Later…
Agent Greenway and Sheriff Keller were in Keller's office. Keller was sitting at his desk while Greenway sitting on the desk turned so that she could look at him.
"I had a good time last night," Greenway told Keller with a smile.
"Me too, and the night before as well," Keller responded.
"Well then perhaps tonight we can…" Greenway said before she was interrupted by somebody knocking on the door.
Keller and Greenway both looked to the door to see a blonde busty police officer standing there.
"What is it Officer Lovett?" Keller asked somewhat annoyed.
"Well there's a call for Agent Greenway, um do you want me to have it forwarded to your phone?" Officer Lovett asked nervously.
"Yeah, send it through," Keller replied.
"Wonder why they didn't call my cell?" Greenway pondered as Officer Lovett left.
Greenway then took her phone out of her pocket and realized that the battery was dead.
"Oh shit, I forgot to charge it," Greenway cursed.
Just then the phone on Keller's desk rang. Greenway picked it up.
"Agent Greenway," she answered it.
"Elle, it's Kate," the voice on the other end said.
"Kate? Oh are you calling about Jason Blossom?" Greenway asked. "Did you find him."
"Yeah I found him," Agent Callahan replied. "He was living by himself in a teepee in the middle of the New Mexican dessert."
"Great! Is he coming here with you? Did he tell you anything about his sister?" Greenway asked excitedly.
"Well you were right, his sister did attack him, took out his eye," Callahan replied. "But he's not coming back with me."
"What do you mean?" Greenway asked.
"That little shit left me abandoned in the desert Elle; I almost died of dehydration." Callahan stated angrily.
"Why would he do that?" Greenway questioned.
"Because he's heading back to Riverdale so he can kill his sister," Callahan answered. "Apparently he's been 'preparing' for this for the past two years, whatever the hell that means. And he's got a two day head start."
"Alright thanks for the heads up, Kate," Greenway said. "I owe you one."
"You owe me like ten for this," Callahan retorted.
"Let's call it two then," Greenway said. "Talk to you later."
Greenway hung up the phone and looked at Keller still in some disbelief.
"Well?" Keller prompted.
"Well turns out I was right Cheryl did attack her brother and gouged out his eye," Greenway told him. "But apparently Jason ditched Kate in the dessert and is coming here to kill his sister and it's been two days since Kate saw him."
"If he was flying he would have been here by now," Keller said. "So he must be taking buses, trains or driving."
"Well even so he could be here today," Greenway said.
"You know what this works," Keller said. "We can place Cheryl in protective custody, and you can question her while she's in custody."
"That's genius!" Greenway said.
Then out of nowhere she kissed Keller, but then quickly pulled away.
"Probably shouldn't do that here where people can see," Greenway mumbled.
"Yeah, you're probably right," Keller agreed.
"I'll arrange a safehouse where we can keep her," Greenway said. "If you want to go take her into custody."
"How long will that take?" Keller asked.
"I'll have a safehouse location in fifteen minutes," Greenway replied.
"Okay it will probably take me that long to get her, text me the address once you've got it," Keller said.
Greenway nodded and then pulled out her cell phone again then let out a grunt of frustration as she remembered that it wasn't charge.
"Do you have a charger I can use?" Greenway asked.
"Top right drawer of my desk," Keller replied.
"Thanks," Greenway said.
Keller her left her in his office and went out to find an officer to bring with him. Unfortunately the Riverdale Police were short staffed after the deaths of Jenko and Schmidt, which didn't leave him with many options.
"Lovett," Keller called out. "You're coming with me."
Lovett wouldn't have been Keller's first choice. The big boobed blonde was a diversity hire to ensure women were represented on the police force.
"Where are we going Sheriff?" Officer Lovett inquired as she followed after her boss.
"We're putting Cheryl Blossom into protective custody," Keller replied.
"Oh, that sounds neat," Lovett said.
Keller just rolled his eyes as they made their way out to the squad cars in the parking lot.
The cheerleaders of Riverdale High were gathered on the field for practice. All of them were dressed in their new cheerleading uniforms. The blue and gold uniforms were much more revealing than the old uniforms. As the girls went through their dance motions in almost perfect unison a bystander might have thought that they must have practiced a great deal, having no idea that the co-ordination was the result of their pack instincts.
Cheryl then called an end to the dance routine and ordered the girls to gather round. They formed a semi-circle in front of Cheryl.
"Good practice girls, you're all looking fantastic in the new uniforms," Cheryl said. "Ginger, Betty, do you have any updates on the car wash?"
"Well we're looking at setting up in two spots," Ginger said. "One here in the school parking lot and the other over at the Chock'lit Shoppe."
"We'd like it if we could go to your house after this Cheryl and we'll take some pictures using yours and your parents cars," Betty stated.
"Still in uniform of course," Ginger added.
"That sounds excellent," Cheryl agreed. "Okay unless anyone else has something…"
Cheryl trailed off as she saw Sheriff Keller walking across the field towards them with a blonde female officer walking close behind him. The other cheerleaders all turned to see what Cheryl was looking at.
"What do we do?" Midge asked.
"Let's see what he wants first," Cheryl replied.
Cheryl walked towards Sheriff Keller, the cheerleaders parting to let her through.
"Sheriff Keller, if you're here to watch out practice I'm afraid we just finished," Cheryl said.
"Well that's disappointing," Keller retorted sarcastically. "But that's not the reason I'm here."
"Oh, then why are you here Sheriff?" Cheryl asked curiously as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"An FBI agent spoke with your brother, apparently he has been living in the desert in New Mexico but not he is on his way here to kill you," Keller replied.
"My brother is coming back to Riverdale to kill me?" Cheryl inquired completely unconcerned. "So what? You want me to tell you why he wants to kill me?"
"That would be nice, but I don't think you'll cooperate," Keller said. "No why I'm here is to put you into protective custody."
"Say what?" Cheryl asked surprised.
"I'm putting you in protective custody," Keller replied. "Now if you would please come with me."
"Um, I'm pretty sure you can't do that," Cheryl said.
"Actually you're a minor still, if only for a couple more months, so that is not your call; and since your parents are out of town and can't be contacted at the moment as the sheriff it's my call," Keller replied with a smirk.
Keller looked over at the blonde officer with him.
"If you would please come with us," the officer said as she reached out and grabbed Cheryl's arm.
Cheryl reacted by biting the woman's hand, hard enough to draw a bit of blood.
"Oh, damn it!" The woman exclaimed pulling her hand away.
"Do you want me to charge you with assaulting an officer?" Keller asked angrily.
"No, I'll come with you," Cheryl said raising her hands in surrender
"Cuff her," Keller instructed the officer.
Cheryl held out her wrists and the female officer handcuffed them. They then led Cheryl away as the other cheerleaders watched.
"What should we do? Should we follow them?" Nancy asked.
"No, Cheryl will be fine," Ginger replied. "She's got a plan of her own. We just keep doing what we're doing."
"We don't want to attract attention to ourselves," Sheila added.
Sheriff Keller pulled the squad car to a stop outside of small house on the south side of town. He peered out the window at the number on the house and then checked the message on his phone from Agent Greenway, it was the that address she had sent him. He turned off the car and got out along with Officer Lovett. The two of them then got Cheryl, who was still handcuffed, out of the backseat and took her up to the house.
"Oh this place is cute," Cheryl said sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah keep walking," Keller grumbled. "Frankly you're lucky we're even providing you protection."
"I'm not worried about Jason," Cheryl said.
Before Keller could respond the front door opened and Agent Greenway stepped out.
"Ah so you must be Cheryl Blossom," Greenway said sizing Cheryl up. "I'm Special Agent Elle Greenway and you'll be staying with me until U.S. Marshalls arrive to take you to a more secure location."
Cheryl didn't immediately reply; instead she just looked Greenway up and down and sniffed. She then glanced her eyes sideways towards Keller momentarily.
"You two are sleeping together," Cheryl said.
Both Keller and Greenway were caught off guard by Cheryl's remark.
"What… that's…" Keller stammered.
"What we do in our own time is our business," Greenway said as she composed herself.
"Yeah sure whatever," Cheryl said. "Whatever makes you old people happy I guess right?"
"Take her inside," Keller instructed Officer Lovett, who was amused but also trying not to embarrass her boss.
Lovett lead Cheryl inside.
"Take her to the back bedroom," Greenway said.
"So I'm going to head back to the station," Keller said.
"Okay, I've got to stay here till the Marshalls arrive," Greenway told him. "They're sending a team up from Boston so I've probably got about four hours with her."
"Good luck, she a crafty little bitch," Keller said.
Keller then headed back to his squad car while Greenway went inside. She made her way to the back of the house where Lovett had taken Cheryl. The house had actually been up for sale so it was unfurnished. The only thing in the bedroom were a pair of folding chairs and a folding table. Cheryl was sitting on the chair that was facing towards the door while Lovett was standing next to the door. Greenway took a seat in the other chair on the other side of the table facing Cheryl.
"You know this is feeling more like an interrogation than a protective custody," Cheryl commented.
"You catch on quick," Greenway said.
"Well I can't say I'm inclined to co-operate," Cheryl stated. "But if you remove these…"
Cheryl put her still handcuffed hands up on the table and raised an eyebrow as she looked at Greenway.
"No, I think those can stay on," Greenway responded.
Greenway didn't know for certain if Cheryl was involved in all these murders, but if she was she was far more formidable than she appeared and keeping her handcuffed seemed safest.
"So you didn't want to tell us why you're brother wants to kill you, but that's fine, we've got a pretty good idea as to why that might be," Greenway said. "About two years ago your brother was seriously injured in an attack and ended up losing an eye."
"And you think he's coming here for revenge because I'm responsible?" Cheryl interrupted her.
"That might be part of it, but I also think it's because your brother knows what kind of monster that you truly are," Greenway stated. "He knows you're responsible for all these deaths in Riverdale and he think that its his job to stop you."
Greenway sat back and crossed her arms and just stared at Cheryl watching for her reaction. Cheryl for her part showed nothing her face was expressionless as she just stared back at Greenway.
"That's an interesting theory there Agent," Cheryl finally said. "There's only one problem with it."
"Oh and what's that?" Greenway asked curiously.
Cheryl smiled and leaned forward.
"I'm not the only monster killing people," Cheryl said.
Suddenly a clawed hand burst out of Agent Greenway's chest. Greenway barely had time to look behind her to see that Officer Lovett had transformed in a half-wolf half-human creature, her police uniform ripped from the fact she had grown from about 5'5" to around seven feet tall. Cheryl leaned back and chuckled as she watched the werewolf police officer rip Greenway apart.
"It's always amusing how feral they are when they first turn," Cheryl chuckled to herself.
Cheryl then pulled her hands apart easily snapping the chain on the hand cuffs. She then pulled the cuffs apart easily breaking them.
"Alright you, come with me," Cheryl said to the werewolf Officer Lovett who was devouring Greenway's remains.
Lovett looked up and obediently followed Cheryl out of the bedroom. As she made her way to the front door Cheryl was trying to formulate a plan. Law enforcement didn't know everything but it seemed like they might know more than Cheryl had previous thought, and the fact that Jason was returning complicated matters. There wasn't going to be a full moon for another ten days.
Just before Cheryl got to the front door the it was kicked in. Cheryl had stopped in her tracks thinking that it might have been more police, however standing in the doorway instead was her brother Jason. He looked much different from when Cheryl had last seen him, his hair long and shaggy including the beard he had grown, his skin a dark tan, he was dressed in some sort of Native American garb and he carried several Native weapons.
"Hello brother," Cheryl said with a smirk. "I'd say you look good, but that would be a lie."
Jason didn't reply instead he just strode forward twirling a pair of tomahawks in his hands. Jason then swung them at Cheryl. Cheryl dodged the first strike, but the second caught her just below the elbow on her left arm. Cheryl found herself looking in shock at a stump where the lower portion of her arm had been. Cheryl's eyes went wide with surprise as she realized that Jason meant business.
Jason went to strike again but the werewolf Officer Lovett moved to defend Cheryl. Jason ended up burying both tomahawks into the chest of the werewolf. Clutching at the stump where her arm was Cheryl ran towards the back door. Jason meanwhile headbutted the werewolf on the underside of her jaw causing her to stagger backwards. He then pulled out one of the tomahawks leaving behind a gaping wound. Lovett swung a clawed hand at him but Jason duck under it and buried the tomahawk into the side of her head. Lovett let out a small pitiful whimper as she fell to the ground and then began changing back into a human.
Jason stood over the dead policewoman for a minute, then he heard the sound of police sirens outside. Jason looked out the busted open front door to see a squad car pulling up. Jason cursed as he realized that somebody must have seen him kick in the door. Jason pulled his tomahawks out of the policewoman's corpses and ran for the back door just as Sheriff Keller arrived.
As Sheriff Keller entered the house he saw a red-headed man in Native American garb disappear out the backdoor. Keller went and checked on Officer Lovett but found that she was deceased.
"Elle? Elle?" Keller called out worried.
With his weapon drawn Keller cautiously checked the house. He soon came across what was left of Agent Greenway in the back bedroom. Doing his best to hold back tears Keller got on the radio.
"This is Sheriff Keller, send a forensic team to my location," Keller said.
Keller then walked out of the room and wet back to Officer Lovett's corpse. As he looked closer he noticed that her uniform was all ripped, but not in a manner as if someone had been trying to sexual assault her.
"What the hell?" Keller muttered as he looked closer.
Her mouth was slightly open, and he noticed something inside. Taking out a pair of gloves her poked a finger inside and pulled it out. It was an off-white and sort of a banana shape and looked to have a bit of blood on it. It took him a moment to realize that it was a tooth, but it wasn't a human tooth so why was it in Officer Lovett's mouth? Suspicious he looked in Lovett's mouth again and his eyes went wide with surprise as he realized that Lovett was missing one of her canine teeth.
"Did you kill Elle?" Keller asked the corpse.
He then realized that Lovett's corpse was lying on top of something. He rolled her over to find an arm that had been severed just below the elbow. He though it might belong to Agent Greenway but then he recognized the green nail polish. Greenway hadn't painted her nails, but he remembered that Cheryl had green nail polish. However other than the arm there was no sign of Cheryl. She must have fled from whoever had attacked her, which was quite possibly Jason.
"Just what the fuck is going on here?" Keller muttered.
Jason has returned to Riverdale, but will he be able to stop Cheryl and her Werewolf Cheerleaders? Read on to find out! Please Review!
