A/N: Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I was literally calming down from a minuatatire panic attack when I read the reviews for the last chapter. They made my day. It really shows how positive this fandom can be. On with the chapter.
That night, Jughead Jones, Veronica Lodge, and Archie Andrews burned their clothes, including Jughead's beanie. They drove home quietly, not saying a word. They would soon learn they should have been getting their stories straight.
Jughead entered his house. His father, FP Jones, was waiting for him. "Where have you been?" He asked. He then noticed a little bit of blood on him. "Is that blood on your shoulder? Why are you naked?"
"This isn't blood," Jughead said. "We got Pops on the way home and some of the ketchup feel onto my shoulder. Some of the stonewall prep students dared us to go skinny dipping and they stole our clothes."
"Have you seen Betty?" FP asked. "Alice is freaking out."
"She went to retrieve her phone from Veronica's place," Jughead said. "She should be home soon."
Jughead went upstairs to his room. He looked at the bloody rock he took from the scene. He had no memories from when he was talking to Donna and when he found Betty. It made him wonder if he actually killed Betty.
The next morning, Archie and Veronica were trying to get romantic, but they couldn't. "You can't get last night off your mind?" Archie asked.
"Yeah," Veronica said.
"You don't think he actually killed Betty, do you?" Archie asked.
"I hope not," Veronica said. "He wouldn't hurt Betty right? It has to be one of the stonies."
"Yeah, but the evidence is really against him," Archie said.
"Even if he is innocent," Veronica said. "We need to go to the police and report Betty as a missing person."
"Smart move," Archie said. "So we don't look suspicious. We won't mention Jughead's name unless it's necessary."
"Ok," Veronica said, getting up. They got changed and left Veronica's house.
Alice was cleaning the house to keep her mind off of Betty being missing in action. She was dusting Jughead's desk when she saw Betty's phone. It was almost dead and all of Alice's text weren't open.
She then noticed something she hadn't before. It was a small pile of blood on the corner of his desk. Alice whimpered as she wondered what Jughead Jones has done to her little girl.
Jughead walked to were he found Betty's body. Donna was waiting for him. "I've been expecting you to come here," she said. "The killer always returns to the scene of the crime."
"We both know I didn't kill her," Jughead said.
"I know," Donna said. "This is the perfect crime. Unless someone finds the body. You and your friends DNA will be on her body. You will be arrested as the boyfriend who is the leader of a violent gang."
"If someone finds the body," Jughead said. "I promise you this will be your reckoning. We are going to take down that evil school, and you're going down with it."
Jughead then walked off. Donna had a smirk on her face as their cat and mouse game began.
