Jughead could barely eat. He had been absently pushing the food around his plate for a very long time, not thinking to take a single bite. They hadn't found a single clue telling them where Betty was or how to even begin looking for her, and he was getting more worried by the second. Getting food at Pop's wasn't even granting him the usual reprieve from the struggles of daily life that he cherished. His stomach spent most of its time in knots, increasing his fear about what had become of his girlfriend, and the Serpent Queen.

"Jones I swear if you don't put that fork down I just might stab you with it." Veronica said, with a serious look on her face.

Jughead made a show of placing his fork down with a look of mock fear on his face, and she looked back at him with an apologetic smile. It had been a long few days and there were both at their wits end with the search for Betty. Veronica had been diligently doing research on her laptop in the booth across from him. They were trying to get more information about the Farm, but there was strangely little to find.

"Don't cults usually advertise their rules and regulations? Like their doctrine or something?" Jughead asked.

"Apparently not this one. I haven't found anything else online about the farm or its location." She said, shutting her laptop in frustration. "All of the articles that even mention it are about Edgar Evernever and his so called life changing wisdom. There's nothing that mentions him in relation to the farm or anything about it. And, I have learned far too much about farming digging through all of these irrelevant results. My head will explode if I see one more picture of a cow in a field."

"There's something so off about Evernever and the Farm, I just haven't been able to put my finger on their particular brand of evil just yet. I still have a nagging feeling that Betty isn't there. If she is, I am sure she's not still there willingly. My gut tells me she's somewhere else."

Jughead glanced out the window, as if maybe the missing Betty Cooper herself would show up, coming to Pop's for a milkshake, like they always do.

He shook his head. "All of this is crazy. Betty wouldn't just disappear like this and not try to tell one of us. I've had some of the Serpents scouting the area looking for her since I got back but there's been no sign of her anywhere. Not a single clue to tell me where to look next."

The tension Jughead was feeling was evident in his posture. He was stiff as a board, mouth contorted into a tight frown and eyebrows knit closely together. It was as if he somehow managed to think just hard enough, Betty's location would become clear to him. This could not be the investigation that he couldn't solve. He had to find her. Jughead wasn't sure he could live with the consequences if he didn't, and something terrible happened to the woman he loved.

"I know this doesn't make any sense. I'm worried about B too. I just don't know where else we could possibly look. We have no leads, and this town is turning into a warzone faster than the Gucci store in New York on Black Friday." Veronica said, pulling her glasses off her face and placing her head in her hands.

"I can't just give up." Jughead said sternly.

"Nobody is telling you to. I, for one, could never forgive myself if I gave up on this particular mystery. This is B we are talking about, your girlfriend, and my best friend, and queen of the Serpents. We have to find her. We are not giving up because Betty Cooper would never give up on either of us in a million years." Veronica said with as much confidence as she could muster in the face of their current challenge.

Veronica's phone lit up on the table in front of her, saying she had a new message and a string of other notifications. This time she saw it since she did not have her face buried in a laptop doing research. She picked up the device, noticing that Kevin had sent her a photo and several texts. He had also called several times and left a few voicemails.

"How did I miss all of this?" Veronica mumbled to herself.

"Not Betty with a location to come pick her up is it?" Jughead asked, somewhat sarcastically as Veronica typed her passcode into her phone.

"Chill it's just Kevin. He is probably still pissed at me for missing out latte day on Monday."

She downloaded the image and her blood ran cold. Veronica started furiously typing a reply into the phone. This was a conversation she wanted to have entirely in person. She sent the message telling Kevin to come to Pop's ASAP and explain exactly what he had seen.

"What's that look about?" Jughead asked, seeing the look of wide eyed horror and confusion on Veronica's face as she stared at her phone screen.

She opened up just the picture again and zoomed in so there was no mistake about what, or rather who, it was. Veronica slid the phone over to Jughead. "I think we may finally have a lead."

She watched as he stared down at the somewhat blurry image on the screen, taken through the fence at the Sister of Quiet Mercy, there was his Serpent Queen. Jughead's face went white and if it weren't for the lack of food in his stomach he thought he might have thrown up. She didn't look good from what he could tell from the image. Her cheeks looked sunken in and her expression was downcast and defeated. This was not a look that the Betty Cooper he knew usually wore. But, at least Kevin had found Betty. The only problem was that she was in the worst possible place enduring lord knows what kind of treatment at the hands of those corrupt and barbaric nuns.

"What the hell would she be doing at the Sister's?" Veronica said, outraged.

"I'm not sure but we need to get her out of there quickly. There's no telling what's going on behind the walls of that sadistic torture chamber and we have no idea how long she has already been at their mercy." Jughead's eyes widened as that realization struck him. How long has she been there? How much time have the nuns had to 'rehabilitate' her? He hoped Betty was okay, and laying low.

"I just don't understand why she hasn't escaped. There's a door marked with an X that we used before to get Cheryl out. Betty knew about it, why hasn't she left?" Veronica questioned.

"Joaquin told me a little while ago that they had that exit walled off after Cheryl escaped. Maybe she can't get out. Do you think maybe her mom put her in there Veronica?"

"I wouldn't put it passed Mrs. Cooper. She is very controlling. Remember what Betty's parents did to Polly when they found out she was pregnant? Wait Betty's not pregnant is she?"

Jughead nearly choked. He cleared his throat and said, "Not that I know of, I think that's something she probably would have mentioned. And we use protection."

"Okay, so not likely that Mrs. Cooper had another pregnant daughter hidden away with the sisters. But why else would she be there? This doesn't make any sense." Veronica pushed her hair back behind her ear as she leaned back into the booth.

At that moment the door to Pop's burst open with a sharp ding of the bell to reveal a very sweaty and very red faced Kevin Keller. He spotted Veronica and Jughead and sped over to them, dropping down in the booth next to Veronica.

Veronica spoke first, "Kev, I need you to tell me and Jughead exactly what you saw."

Kevin wasted no time, sensing the lack of patience for any preamble to this vital discovery he launched right into the story, still breathless from the sprint there.

Kevin looked at Veronica and Jughead seriously and said, "Brace yourself guys, because what I saw was not pretty and we have a lot of work to do."
