I was still in shock when Alice asked a few moments later whether I would like to come back with her to their place or go stay with my Dad and brother. I considered each option for a moment and decided to go to Dad's trailer a few minutes away in another trailer park. I could've gone back to the Cooper's and been able to talk to Betty and Mercy, but I didn't really want to talk right now. I wanted peace and quiet to contemplate what just happened, without everyone asking questioning about it.

Soon we pulled up to Dad's trailer and I waved goodbye to Alice and walk in. I didn't bother knocking, just walked in and saw Jughead and Dad sitting on the couch watching the Footy game. They both looked up when I came in, both with confused looks.

"I didn't know you were staying here tonight, j," Dad stood up from the couch. "Where's your stuff?"

"I didn't bring anything," I told them. "It was a kinda last minute decision."

"What happened?" Jughead asked, cocking his head. "Call it sibling intuition, but you don't look very good."

"Just what a girl wants to hear," I scoffed. I let out a breath. "I just came from Ryder's. He's been acting weird all day so I went to check up on him. But when I got there, there was this other guy that I had never seen before. Ryder kept telling me it wasn't safe to be there and then he..he ended it. Just then."

Both Dad and Jug had been listening closely to her story, and then Dad got up and grabbed his ever-ready Serpent jacket.

"Where are you going?" I asked him, also standing up.

"To see Ryder," he said.

"Why?"

"Well, first to honor my promise that I will hurt him if he ever harmed my daughter…"

"Dad!" I exclaimed.

He continued with a slight smile. "I'm kidding. But I'm mainly going to see if he's alright. You said there was a stranger with him and he said it wasn't safe for you to be there?"

"Yeah," I confirmed.

"I'm going too," Jug grabbed his jacket as well. "You alright here on your own?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine."

Jug and Dad left and went to have a shower then cry myself to sleep. Somehow I had managed to keep the tears in all this time, but now that I was alone and there was no one to see me crying, the tears came pouring out.

...oOo…

"So that girl," Flynn asked Ryder gently when he came back inside. "She your girlfriend?"

"Well, she was," Ryder let out a breath. "If the Jaguares are coming just like you said, then it's not safe, and I won't put Jb in danger."

"Understandable," Flynn looked towards his brother. "You mentioned a little girl, Kattie."

"Caddy," Ryder corrected. "Short for Cadence."

"Is she...yours?"

"What?" Ryder turned to his brother. "No, no! She's Jb's baby sister."

"Oh, sorry," Flynn looked sheepish.

"You think if you became an uncle I wouldn't tell you?"

"I don't know. We haven't got in contact since we were separated."

"Yeah, well only because Aunty Jo and everyone else said it wasn't safe," Ryder said bitterly. "You don't know how much I hate that phrase now."

"You just said that to your girl, you know."

"Yeah, I know."

Just then there was another knock on the door.

...oOo...

Fp led the way up the stairs on Ryder's porch and knocked on his door. Jughead followed on his heels. Ryder opened the door and sighed when he saw who it was.

"I should have known you two would come," Ryder motioned for them to come inside. "How's J?"

"Like you care!" Jughead said to him. "You just broke her heart you know."

Ryder's expression turned painful. "It was for her own protection," he said cryptically.

"What do you mean?" Fp asked him. Just then Ryder's brother came into view from the living room. "Who's this? Is he hurting you?"

"No, no!" Ryder told them. He let out a deep breath. "This is Flynn, my brother. Flynn, this is Jughead and Fp. Friends of mine."

"I don't get it," Jug spoke up. "If this is your brother, then why did you send Jb away?"

Ryder sighed and motioned for them to sit down in the living room. He told Jug and Fp everything about his past, about the Jaguars, and about them knowing where he lived. When he finished, he looked up and saw Fp running his hand down his face.

"Well, Ryder," he breathed, "let's just say that wasn't what I was expecting."

"That's why I told Jb to get somewhere safe," Ryder told them. "If the Jaguars found me and she was here, they would show no mercy."

"What's your plan?" Fp suddenly asked. "I assume you would have a plan at this point."

"I was just telling Ry that I have a friend that lives in Toledo," Flynn spoke up. They all grew solem at the mention of the city where Jb lived for a few years.

"Let's get the Serpents involved," Fp said to everyone. "All of 'em are just waiting for a fight."

"Serpents?" Flynn questioned, not knowing about the happenings of the Riverdale.

"Biker gang on the Southside," Ryder explained to him. He motioned to Fp. "Fps' their leader."

As Jughead and Fp chatted for a moment, Flynn leant over and whispered to Ryder. "How do they know Jb exactly?"

"Jughead is her brother and Fp's her Dad," Ryder told him in a whisper.

"So you dated a girl whose Dad is the leader of a biker gang?"

"Pretty much," Ryder clarified. "And that's only a bit of it." He thought of everything that had happened in Ryder life since he said goodbye to Flynn and everything his brother didn't know about Riverdale and it's happenings.

"Okay, listen up" Fp spoke up, turning to face the Kaiden brothers, "here's the plan."

Author's note: Hi Y'all! So, here is another chapter for you, hope you like it :). I'm trying to make Flynn look like a good guy- because he is in case you thought he might be a good guy in disguise, he's not - so I hope I'm portraying his character well. I can not at this stage confirm or deny what will happen between Jb and Ryder, but I do know the storyline and what happens ;)

I've been looking through my story and trying to find loose ends I need to tye up before this story ends- like Jb and Cheryl becoming Serpents- but if you and think of any more please let me know!

Thank you all who have reviewed and Favourited and Followed this story, and thank you to those who just read and enjoy this Fanfic.
