The next day at school everyone was watching the leaked video of Fangs and Midge. It got leaked from the Register. Sweet Pea and Callie were watching it from Callie's phone.

" How could Ms. Cooper do this?" Sweet Pea asked angrily.

" She didn't," Callie answered.

"She owns the register," Sweet Pea reminded her. " Well, the Coopers do."

" Not anymore," Callie informed. " Hiram Lodge bought it a while ago. This makes Fangs look really guilty," Callie stated.

" Attention, Students. This is Principal Weatherbee," Principal Weatherbee announced over the PA system. " I need Fangs Fogarty to come to my office immediately."

" We have to find Fogarty," Sweet Pea stated, they started to make their way down the hallways looking for the boy. They soon saw him talking to Jughead and Toni.

" Fangs," Callie breathed as they walked over to him, he looked terrified.

" You're dead, Vixen killer!" Reggie shouted in anger as he came down the stairs. 

" This way..." Jughead said as the four tried to lead him away.

" Mr. Fogarty!" Sheriff Minetta said they turned to see the cops. " We need you to come with us."

" I didn't do anything," Fangs stated. He turned to Reggie, then tried to make a break for it through the police.

" Okay, okay. Come on, come. hey, hey!" Sheriff Minetta rambled. He slammed against a wall, Fang's knife slipped out of a pocket and fell onto the floor. Sheriff Minetta then forced Fangs on the ground and handcuffed him.

Callie was now at Josie's house, she needed to talk to her mom.

"Mrs. McCoy," Callie greeted shaking her hand.

" What can I do for you Ms. Amdrews?" Mrs. McCoy asked. 

" A student was taken into custody," Callie began. " Can you possibly be his attorney?"

" I can see what I can do," Mrs. McCoy stated. " Why don't you fight him yourself?"

" I am not qualified to do so," Callie answered. " And I need a well-respected adult like you to do it. He is being wrongly accused. He liked Midge like he would date her. He wouldn't have killed her. Or anyone."

" Tell me more," Mrs. McCoy instructed.

********

The next morning Callie was waiting for Mayor McCoy outside the police department with Jughead. He called Archie on his phone, he put it on speaker.

" Jug, what's up?" Archie answered the phone.

" You and your Dark Circle went wilding on the Southside last night that's what's up!" Jughead answered. 

" That's impossible," Callie answered. " Archie was there when I got home, asleep in a chair."

" Unless it was some other vigilante group in letterman jackets who set a dumpster on fire and slashed our tires!" Jughead ranted. " Archie, Hog-eye saw you guys!"

" Jug, I swear, I don't know anything about this," Archie insisted. " I wasn't there."

" Jughead? Callie?" Sierra McCoy greeted walking up to the two. " Where is he?" The two led attorney McCoy inside to stop the investigation.

" Don't say another word," Mrs. McCoy ordered Fangs as she walked in with Jughead and Callie. " I'll be representing Mr. Forgarty from here on out and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop harassing my client."

*******

Later Fangs stood in a cell, while attorney McCoy talked him. Jughead and Callie sat on the desk.

" You're being held because you were in possession of a weapon on school property," Mrs. McCoy explained. 

" My switch-blades for protection," Fangs explained.

" Yes," Mrs. McCoy breathed.

" Well, they have 24 hours to make something stick. In the meantime, you exercise your right to remain the hell silent," Callie explained.

" Couldn't say it better myself," Mrs. McCoy said. Fangs looked at the other two and they nodded their heads. She then left.

" How did you get her as my attorney?" Fangs asked.

" Callie is a very persuasive person," Jughead answered.

" You did this for me?" Fangs asked. 

" Yeah," Callie answered, her phone started to ring. " I gotta take this." She walked away answering her phone." Hello?"

" Where are you?" Cheryl asked.

" The police station," Callie answered.

" Be ready to leave in five minutes," Cheryl told her. " We are meeting Betty up at the Share BNB." Cheryl then hung up.

" I will be back," Callie told them before leaving the building. Minutes later Callie and Cheryl stood lookout ads Betty picked her way into the room her dad stayed at the BnB. They walk in to see that place was a complete mess, Cheryl closed the door behind them.

" What are we looking for, exactly?" Callie asked as they looked around the place. " Trophies from his victims?"

" Or just anything unusual or incriminating," Betty replied. 

" Betty?" Cheryl asked. " Does your father have an affinity for kiddie lit, or would this be considered unusual?" Cheryl walked over to Betty to show her a Nancy Drew book, Callie walked over to see what it was.

" Cheryl," Betty breathed. " The Black Hood used this book to write the cipher, the cipher that only I could solve."

" Which Callie also solved," Cheryl added.

" My dad knew we were obsessed with this book growing up," Betty informed. Her phone started ringing. " Oh, my God! It's him."

" Don't answer it!" Callie insisted. She answered the phone and told her dad that she'll meet her parents at the debate. Hours later Callie was at the debate, she stood behind the curtains on the stage with her brother.

" Welcome, one and all, to tonight's Mayoral Debate," Mrs. Cooper greeted everyone. Hermione Lodge and Fred Andrews shook hands. " Jumping right in. Fear and unrest rule the streets. Hermione Lodge, how would you restore safety to the town?"

" Well, we're already making strides, Alice," Hermione answered. " My husband and I personally recruited Sheriff Minetta from Centerville after Tom Keller resigned. Not week on the job, and he's apprehended Midge Klump's murderer." People applauded for her.

" Fred? Rebuttal?" Alice asked.

" We don't know if he's the killer," Fred answered. The crowd booed him. " All I'm saying is let's not call for blood until we've had a trial. What does that say about us, about Riverdale?"

" You talk about not calling for blood, Fred?" Hermione asked. " Are you aware of a group called the Dark Circle?"

" No, I'm not," Fred answered.

" Then let me enlighten you," Hermione stated. " The Dark Circle is a dangerous, radical group that traffic in terror, violence, and street-warfare. A group...started by your son, Archie." Their dad looked at his son, who looked at the floor. " Now I ask you, Citizens of Riverdale...How can we trust a man to run a town when he can't even keep his own house in order?"

" Oh, my God!" Callie gasped stepping out from the curtains. " It's the Black Hood!" Everyone started scrambling in fear, as Archie and his family hid the best they could behind the podium. Gunshots kept firing.

" Are you hurt son or sweetheart?" their dad asked.

" No, are you?" the two asked together. Callie then made her way out and to the police station as fast as she could. She made it inside just as Mrs. McCoy talking to Jughead.

" Are you hurt?" Fangs asked standing up when he saw her. " We heard what happened."

" I'm fine," Callie answered. " What's the update?"

" The incident at town hall and Fangs are being treated as two separate cases," Mayor McCoy answered. " They holding Mr. Fogarty for another hour."

" Jughead, go home and get some food, I'll stay here with Fangs," Callie advised.

" Are you sure?" Jughead asked.

" Go," Callie advised. " There's an angry mob outside yelling for his head, go to your dad and try finding a way to get Fangs out of here in one piece." Jughead nodded his head left the building.

" Ms. Andrews," Mrs. McCoy began. " This might be inappropriate timing, but how would you an internship with me over the summer?"

" I'd be delighted," Callie answered before turning to Fangs. " The others are on their way, we are going to get you out of safely.

" I don't want to die," Fangs stated.

" We won't let that happen," Callie assured him. Mayor McCoy then walked away to go talk to a couple of other people.

" Thank you, Callie," Fangs said. " You really have proven your loyalty to us."

 " Don't talk like that," Callie ordered as she glanced at her phone. " Sweet Pea and the others are almost here. We will get you out of here."

********

An hour later the crowd was bigger, and some of the serpents were inside. 

"You can't take Fangs out the front. We have to take the side entrance," Jughead informed Sheriff Minetta.

" Crowd's out there, too. So pick your poison, Serpent," Sheriff Minetta advised.

" What do we do, man?" Sweet Pea asked.

" I don't wanna die," Fangs cried.

" Fangs, you're not going to," Callie told him as they grouped up. " Look at me, okay?" He was whimpering. " We stand together none of us falls."

" In unity, there is strength," Jughead stated.

" In unity, there is strength," they repeated. they then opened the front and walked out, trying to shield Fangs the best that they could. All the Southside and Serpents joined them to try to help. Callie saw her brother trying to make his way to the front, she looked forward to seeing Reggie walking up to them, he looked like he was going to murder someone. It all happened so fast, Reggie started to pull out a gun, Archie tackled him to the ground, then there was a gunshot. They looked over at Fangs as they tried to keep the crowd back. He was shot right in the middle of the torso. Sweet Pea and Jughead helped him to the ground, Callie held his head on her knees. Jughead, Sweet Pea, and Toni were all trying their best to help Fangs.

" Get help!" Jughead shouted. A fight started out, Callie and Sweet Pea looked at each other, before looking forward to seeing Archie on top of Reggie, both had the gun in their hands. Callie saw that the both of them looked terrified, she never seen Reggie look so terrified in her life.
