Chapter Twenty-Three: America's Most Wanted
*At Stonewall Prep*
Jughead's narrator: Honor. It's a word that gets thrown around a lot of Stonewall Prep.
Mr. Dupont: Mr. Weston Wallis, you have been challenged to a duel by Mr. Jones, who has invoked arcane Stonewall Prep tradition. Do you accept?
Bret: That'd be a yes.
Mr. Dupont: Very good.
Bret: What about fencing?
Jughead: Oh, can we just bare-knuckle brawl?
Mr. Dupont: May I suggest that you do both.
Joan: And in case of a tie-breaker, a battle of intellect.
Donna: A chess match.
Mr. Dupont: Excellent.
Mr. Chipping: Come on, Francis. What is this?
Mr. Dupont: Just for fun. You may both now choose a second for moral and tactical support.
Bret: I pick Jonathan.
Jughead: I'll choose Sean.
Mr. Dupont: And may the best man win.
*after class*
Mr. Chipping: Jughead?
Jughead: Hey, Chip.
Mr. Chipping: I know you've been working so damn hard and Mr. Dupont didn't work out for me. Next week, I have to retire.
Jughead & Sean: Wait, what?!
Mr. Chipping: I'm sorry boys. I ain't got nowhere else to do. I contact Mr. Dupont twice.
Jughead: Listen, if I win, you're gonna get your job back. I always win.
Mr. Chipping: *hearing*
Sean: Come on, man. *smiles at Mr. Chipping* He can do better than this.
Mr. Chipping: I'll see you guys later. *walks away*
Jughead: I have to get back in my room. Meet me tonight in the room. *walks away*
Sean: *collecting his stuff while hearing Bret*
Bret: *arrived*
Sean: I knew it was you, Bret. *sees him*
Bret: You're not here because of your talent. The Admissions Committee? None of them have read a single word you've ever written. You're a statistic, a project. Every year there's one of you. Some welfare freeloader who never amounts to anything. Just like your crush, Hope Mikaelson. She's been missing and couldn't be surviving including your father. That is your past, present, and future, Sean.
Sean: *grabs him and slammed to the table and holds his fist* SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
Bret: Looks like you've inherited his temper, too.
Sean: *breathing*
Jughead: Sean? What's going on? *comes back*
Sean: Why would you ask him. *leaves*
*Meanwhile*
*At the basement in Stonewall Prep*
Hope got kidnapped by the members of Stonewall Prep.
Hope: LET ME OUT! HEY! *tries to untie and it was tightened up*
*6pm*
*At Pop's*
Michelle: It's getting dark out here.
Luis: *still eating the fries*
Michelle: We have to go soon so I would take you back to New York.
Luis: Mich, believe it or not, are we still hanging out until you come to New York?
Michelle: I will. Soon. I have to figure it out when my boyfriend is up to.
Luis: That was so waisted.
Michelle: I did that for him. Usually, you don't give a damn about Tyrell?
Luis: *looks at her* I was going to unlike him but he just using me first.
Michelle: Tyrell is going to make you pay. This is the reason why you shouldn't come here to this place with all of the nonsense bullshit.
Luis: Do you think I am not coming back to Riverdale too?
Michelle: As long as we sort this city out.
*The next day*
*At Smith's house*
Dylan: Alex, you got out of the work? And you here on game day?
Alex: I'm out.
Dylan and Alex are hugging together.
Alex: It's been a quite of couple months for me. So I was chilling and I was kinda fear that the people were going really wild. The thing is, I really love my job.
Julie: It's been a quiet you've been done here, Alex.
Alex: Appreciated. No secret, no lies.
Julie: Not at all.
*Meanwhile*
*At Lyon's house*
Romeo: You looked sharp.
Phoebe: Thanks. And you said, we're going to the movies together tonight.
Romeo: Yeah. My parents went to work early because they are doing double shifts.
Phoebe: Woah! I have been reading out of my mind.
Romeo: *kisses her*
Phoebe: *kisses him back*
Romeo: I'll be right back. *runs away*
*At Pop's*
Betty: Moose, who gave you the army pamphlets?
Moose: After the article aired, all my dirty laundry was published, I mean, I was pretty messed up. And Mr. Chipping suggested I look into the military.
Alice: I'm sorry, what's your connection to Mr. Chipping?
Moose: He recruited me. To play football.
Betty: Wait. Mr. Chipping the reason why you went to the Stonewall Prep?
Moose: Yeah. Until Halloween night, when it became more than a suggestion. I mean, he practically shoved me out the door. Plus, um, there was a videotape.
Alice: What videotape?
Moose: Uh, Bret videotaped me having sex in our dorm room with a classmate. He was lording it over me and threatening to release it any minute.
Carter: *hearing them a whole time while sitting on the chair with milkshake and drinks it*
Fangs: *walks up to Carter* What's going on, Carter? What you're doing?
Carter: Nothing. I'm just kicking in. I have to hustle up real quick and I'm currently busy just not today.
Fangs: Kevin just went the other men at the five seasons last night.
Carter: How?
Fangs: I don't know. He can do whatever he wants.
Carter: Here's Moose. *points to him* He talking to Cooper's family.
Fangs: The one he wearing an army suit??
Carter: I heard about Stonewall Prep? Jughead's school. He said about the videotape, transfer him to the military when he got caught.
Fangs: Oh my god, that was embarrassing. Way too deep.
Carter: That guy from recording videotape is such an asshole.
Fangs: You going to the gym later?
Carter: I gotta get home and watch the game tonight.
Fangs: *sighs* Ok then. I'll text you later and it seems I can run all the way to Whyte Worm.
Carter: Are you kidding me?
Fangs: Yes. I still have my motorcycle. *leaves*
Bret took a break while he went back to the room and caught Betty and Alice. They were searching the videotapes into the room.
Bret: What the fuck are you doing here?
Betty: Looking for the dirt that you have on Moose Mason.
Alice: You should be ashamed of yourself.
Bret: I have no idea what you and, I'm assuming, your mother are referring to, Ponytail. Does Moose have this supposed sex tape?
Betty: No, he says that you do, in a collection. Where is it?
Bret: Question, did you tape of me and Jughead?
Alice: Oh my god!
Betty: Mom, calm down. Moose said that it was filmed in this room. Did you tape us, too?
Bret: Again, I don't know what you're talking about. But if I did, it sure is a good thing that I'm such a nice guy because I could really do a number on you by releasing it. Leave now, and I won't tell Jones about this latest escapade of yours, or you could come with me to Chemistry class, and we could tell him together.
Betty: *tries to slap Bret but she didn't and leaves with Alice*
*Meanwhile*
*At Lyons's house*
Unknown: *opens the key and enters and sees Phoebe*
Phoebe: *sees Unknown* Excuse me? Who are you? *stands back slowly*
Unknown: It doesn't matter. Where's your shit?
Phoebe: What shit?
Unknown: Where's the room? WHERE IS IT?!
Phoebe: I-I-I'm telling you right now, you need to leave right now or I'll have to call the police.
Unknown: STOP! *walks closer to him and holds her neck*
Phoebe: *tries to hold her breath and looks at Unknown*
Unknown: *got hit by his head and falls to the floor*
Phoebe: *breathing*
Romeo: *hitting with the stick and drops it* What the hell is going on?
Unknown: *kicks his leg*
Romeo: *falls to the floor*
Phoebe: *kicks Unknown's stomach three times*
Romeo: *grabs Unknown up and pushed Unknown out* Get the fuck outta here.
Unknown: *runs away*
Romeo: *holds her face* Are you ok?
Phoebe: *nods* I gotta call Betty.
*later in that night*
Phoebe: The person who wears the mask, I don't know is he or she. The person who tried to rob this house.
Romeo: We just fight them back. I find out what's happening with Phoebe. The mask was taken off and running fast as hell.
Betty: Alright. Here's the thing, I'm just gonna keep it eye on the mask including you, Phoebe. You'll be watching.
Phoebe: *nods*
Betty: Tomorrow, I gotta go back to Stonewall Prep and find the videotapes.
Romeo: Wait a minute? A videotape?
Betty: His name is Bret. He's filming in the dorm. Not Jughead. I will be going to all of those rooms and finding a perfect way to see what's inside above them. If I find those tapes, they're going to confess. And I will tell Jughead and Sean to come back to Riverdale High.
Romeo: How do you get them back in the other school?
Betty: Because, Stonewall Prep is creepy, asshat.
Romeo: *hearing*
Betty: Now, I'll contact you tomorrow, Phoebe. *leaves*
*The next day*
*At Stonewall Prep*
Betty and Alice enter.
Betty: *whispers* Veronica said it was this way. *goes to Quill and Skull room and found Hope while she was shocked* HOPE?!
Hope: Betty! *quietly*
Betty: Shh... let me get you outta here. *untie them*
Hope: Smartass knocked me out after the bus just stopped quickly and I have seen so many gangs who cover the bag in my head.
Alice: Are you ok?
Hope: Yeah. I'm fine.
Alice: Alright, Betty. You find the tapes, I'll stand watch.
Betty: Ok. *pulls one of the bricks out and sees all of the tapes* Oh my god. Moose, Moose, Moose, Moose. *looking for Moose's tapes and collecting a few tapes and puts inside the bag and passes to Alice*
Hope: What are you guys doing?
Betty: Someone recorded to the videotape caught.
*Meanwhile*
Sean: *watching Jughead and Bret playing chess*
Bret: *hearing beeping* I'm sorry. Someone's broken into the Quill and Skull's room.
Jughead: What are you talking about?
Bret: Silent alarm. I have it synced to alert me of any intruders.
*Meanwhile*
Alice: We gotta go now. *quietly*
Hope: Can we get the hell outta here?
Betty: We are. *hearing coming downstairs*
Bret: *arrives with the group* I almost admire your gumption, Ponytail, but you're done. You're trespassing.
Betty: And you're illegally recording people having sex. And this is your tape of me and Jughead. *shows him the tape*
Jughead: Whoa, whoa, wait. *arrives with Sean*
Sean: Hope?! I thought you were leaving the town.
Hope: It looks like he got a big problem. *looks at Bret*
Sean: *looks at Bret* Did you kidnap her?
Jughead: Ok, what the hell is going on here?
Betty explains about Bret was videotaped on them and Bret tells Betty to Jughead make a confession while holding. For all of sudden, Bret wants them to bring their tapes back and continue the game.
*10 minutes later*
Jughead: Checkmate.
Bret: Why would you do that? *smiles*
Jughead: Because you're cheated motherfucker! Cause I'm done playing this game. Bret wins this duel.
Bret: *shocked a bit*
Sean: *smirking a bit*
Jughead: You are more of a Stonewall man than I will ever be or I'll ever want to be.
Bret: *hearing*
Jughead, Betty, Alice, Hope, and Sean: *leaving together*
*One hour later*
*At Charles's FBI room*
Charles: So, how did it go? *looks at them*
Betty: We just found a lot of tapes inside the Stonewall Prep. The man named is Bret. He is an accused student.
Charles: Ouch.
Jughead: What's going to happen to us next time?
Charles: We're thinking about it.
*Meanwhile*
*At Sheriff's office*
FP: I swear I didn't know Gladys was even looking at real estate. She was going to move away.
Alice: Listen, FP, I want you to know that house means to me. Wish I could say the same about you and Gladys.
FP: Alice, uh... She and I, we're married. We already divorcing.
Alice: Yeah. *smiles* Gladys left you and Jughead, don't forget that.
FP: That was my fault. Alright? I was a no-good husband, a... A rotten father.
Alice: Do you love her, FP?
FP: She's the mother of my children.
Alice: And me? Do you love me?
FP: ...
Alice: *looks at him*
