Peter and Jughead opened the Pop's diner glass door and walked inside. They searched everywhere for the scout in the photo Peter took of him, they asked around, and after hours of investigations one of the other scouts, a friend of that boy, said that he could always be found at Pop's eating an ice cream, and there he was, sitting in a booth, with a big cup of ice cream placed in front of him and a metal spoon inserted in the cold sweet.
Jughead nudged Peter in his side and nodded towards the boy, motioning to go forward and follow his lead. The two boys walked side by side, Jughead with his omnipresent confidence, and Peter tagging along and feeling again his anxiety kicking in. Once they got near the table, Jughead took the cherry on top of the ice cream with the spoon and ate it right in front of the scout
Scout boy: "Hey, what the hell man?"
But Jughead didn't budge a bit, instead he looked at him dead in the eye and said, nodding his head in the direction of Peter
Jughead: "My friend here saw the way you looked at us during Grizzly training: you're hiding something."
Stated him with such confidence that Peter thought that the sky would have thundered in any minute. Then Peter saw the boy's face and took another picture of him, waking him from the daze he fell into and encouraging him to answer
Scout boy: "It's Scoutmaster Doiley: he's lying."
Jughead, visibly interested as well as Peter, narrowed his eyes
Jughead: "About what?"
Then the boy revealed something neither Peter nor Jughead would've ever suspected
Scout boy: "The gunshot: it was him, he was teaching us how to shoot targets."
Peter's eyes widened upon hearing this, while Jughead continued his interrogation
Jughead: "Dilton Doley shot the gun on July 4th?"
Then the boy elaborated
Scout boy: "He's a hard-core survivalist. He says if we don't protect ourselves, no one will."
Once they got out of the diner, Peter's phone buzzed, he took it and saw Harry's name lit up, then he looked up towards Jughead, while pointing at his phone to silently tell him he had to answer, and Jughead nodded and walked a bit further to leave him space. Peter clicked the green button and placed the phone near his ear
Peter: "Hello, Harry?"
Harry: 《 Hey, man, where were you today? You ditched school or something? 》
