1 month later
My last exam just ended and I'm so excited to get back home.
"Hey babygirl," Toni says sitting next to me in the café
"Hey Tones, How did your exam go?" I ask
She kisses me and smiles
"Good, but I really missed you baby,"
"Did something happen?" I ask
"I just missed you, I'm okay," she says
"Oh okay, I missed you too T,"
Toni gets a text to go say goodbye to all the guys before she leaves so we head down to Tito. Toni grabs my hand and kisses it.
"Why are you so happy today?" I giggle
"Is it a bad thing?"
"Of course not love, but I wanna know if something happened," I say
I'm so used to something bad happening and her not telling me.
"I wanna be happy, I wanna be with you and that's all that matters to me baby," she says "I love you,"
"I love you too," I smile
We make it to Tito and everyone swarms Toni and starts cheering.
"Dudes I just got my hair done," she says "what's going on?"
"Topaz, you got leagues best qb," RJ says "also you're officially all American,"
"That's impossible I missed a month,"
"And your stats are still better than everyone else,"
They celebrate for a while and I just sit to the side. I don't mind at all. I just really don't understand what everyone's talking about.
"Hey baby," Toni says coming to sit down
"Hey Tones," I smile "congratulations,"
"Thanks baby, why aren't you partying?"
"I just wanted you to have fun, checking our flights,"
"Oh okay," she says "are you almost ready?"
"I'm ready to head out if you are,"
"Okay babes lets go,"
She says bye to the boys and RJ comes over.
"Stay safe Blossom," He says hugging me
"You're flying in for the wedding right?" I ask
"I am and so is Liv," he says
"Good, stay out of trouble," I say "I can't do much from Riverdale,"
"I promise Blossom, Thank you,"
We leave and go to the airport.
"Ready to go home baby?" I ask
She nods and kisses my cheek
"I miss the boys,"
"I know you do, so do I,"
We get into the waiting area and a FBI agent walks up to us.
"Mrs. Blossom?" He asks
"Yes how can I help?" I ask
"You need to come with me,"
"Sir I have a plane to catch,"
"Your plane leaves in two hours," he says "you have time,"
"My lawyer lives three hours away,"
"This isn't an official interview, just a chat," he says "those rights don't apply if it's a matter of national security,"
Toni grabs my arm.
"What is this even about?"
"Who are you?" The guy asks
"Her fiancé," she says "what do you need to talk to her about?"
"Matter of national security ma'am," he says
"Don't I have a right to know what you're asking my fiancé about?" She asks standing infront of me calmly
"Ma'am calm down," he says yelling his gun
Toni's eyes go wide and she goes stiff and I stand up behind her.
"Sir I just want to know what you'll be questioning her about? Nothing has happened lately,"
"HANDS ON YOUR FUCKING HEAD," he screams
She slowly puts her hands on her head and he hastily grabs my arm to pull me with him.
"Sir please don't put your hands on her," she says calmly
"I'll come with you but you're hurting my arm," I say pulling away
"SHUT UP OR ILL SHOOT STOP BEING SO ANGRY CALM DOWN,"
Toni has tears down her face.
"SHOW ME YOUR ID, YOUR GREEN CARD I WANT TO SEE IT,"
"Sir I'm not an immigrant I'm native, Uktena Tribe of New York," she says "my licence is in my pocket, may I grab it?"
He keeps his gun trained on her and reaches into her pocket and grabs her wallet.
"No licence," he spits literally throwing the wallet at her chest- scattering the cards and cash everywhere.
By now people are recording and gathering around
"Baby do you have my passport?" She asks still bawling
"It's in my purse,"
She makes the mistake of taking her eyes off of him and looking for my purse.
"LOOK AT ME, DONT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF ME," he snaps
"Yes sir, I'm sorry sir," she says
I grab her passport and give it to him.
"This says you live in Riverdale New York,"
"Y-yes sir," she says "since I was a kid,"
"You're 19?" He asks
"Yes sir,"
His gun still trained on her he grabs her bag off the floor and goes through it.
"Sir you can't search her bag," a businessman says "not without a parent present,"
"I can do what ever the hell I want," he spits
He pulls out her water, gloves, puffer, and 3 prescription pill bottles.
"What the hell is this? It's illegal to consume alcohol in the United States under 21," he says
"Sir that's my water," she says "supplied by Stanford University Football,"
"And these pills are all illegal without prescription,"
"Officer they are literally in a prescription bottle," the business man says
"I get panic attacks on airplanes," Toni says "and the rest are for anxiety and one for help with my breathing, I use the puffer if the pills don't work sir,"
He puts her pills in his pocket and shoves her back at her chest.
"Mrs. Blossom, come with me,"
"Give me a second," I say sitting beside Toni
"Tones I have to go, but if I'm not back get on a plane," I say "I'll meet you at home I promise, call Sweetpea,"
"I'm scared," she says
"I know baby, I know," I say kissing her cheek "I'll be back I promise,"
I stand up and the business man looks at me.
"I'll sit with her if you want," he says "I don't mind and I don't want her alone,"
"Please?" I ask
She starts breathing erratically and I look at the officer
"Sir she really needs that medication," I say "please,"
"I have to test it," he says
"Then test one and give her the rest- please she'll pass out,"
"Non life threatening? Don't care,"
I sigh and stand up.
"I'm not asking again," I snap "I don't think you know who I am,"
"I don't think you understand the situation," he snaps
"I know your bosses need me for something, and something here or you would've waited until I was in New York," I say "so I don't think you understand the situation. I'll cooperate, if you give me my fiancé's meds,"
He hands me the bottles and I give Toni the one for anxiety and breathing- along with the water.
"I'll be back baby, please try and stay calm," I say kissing her temple
I tell the man she can take one more of the anxiety pills if she needs it and she has a puffer for her breathing if it gets any worse.
"And what if that doesn't help her?" He asks looking at her
I said business man before but he's like 5 years older than me tops.
"You have to find me I guess," I sigh "or just let her pass out,"
"I'm Alex by the way,"
"Cheryl," I sigh "Thank you,"
He nods as the agent grabs my arm and drags me to a small dark room.
"Mrs. Blossom, sorry for the inconvenience I'm Director Troy Of the FBI,"
I ignore him and look at my nails.
"Can you hear me?"
"Loud and clear sir," I say "and it's Cheryl, I don't go by Blossom,"
"Do you know why you're here?" He asks
I shake my head and sigh
"Probably another attempt to get a Blossom behind bars," I sigh
"Because we have intelligence saying you know who killed Douglas."
I cut him off with a laugh
"If I knew who killed Dougie they would be awful wealthy right now," I laugh "I don't understand why you guys really care that a low life gang member is dead,"
"Isn't your fiancé a low life gang member?" He asks
"Toni is an internationally recognized athlete with a full academic scholarship. She is not a low life but she is a gang member- out of force,"
"We can protect you- who killed him?"
I shrug and sigh
"When you find out I'll pay for their lawyer,"
"You said you'd cooperate," the agent says
"You pointed a gun at a 19 year old," I snap
"She acted aggressively towards me,"
"She stood up and asked what it was about, she followed your demands and you took all her medications,"
They ask me a lot of questions that I completely ignore.
"You're a smart girl Cheryl, right?"
"I know my shit that's for sure," I sigh
"You know something you aren't telling us,"
"Nope,"
"Yep, we can tell. All these little hacks, little blackmail details- its all done by someone smart,"
"What are you talking about?" I ask playing dumb
"The person who did the crime got lucky," he says "the person who cleaned up the mess was a genius,"
"I'm not even 20 yet, you think I could evade the FBI?"
They keep asking me questions and I don't respond, eventually they let me go.
"I wouldn't leave the country for a while," he says "if you know what's good for you,"
"I'm going to Spain on my honeymoon in August, so I'll be leaving the country," I smirk "and I'm not giving two shits about what you think about it,"
I walk to our gate and we haven't boarded yet thankfully. Plus Reggie got here so that's good.
"Hey baby," I say sitting beside her
She hugs me and I look at Reg.
"You good?"
I nod and release from the hug.
"Tones I'm okay, it was just about Dougie,"
"They still think you're involved?" She asks
"They do," I sigh "but I have nothing to do with it so I'm okay, how are you?"
"I'm okay," she says
"I saw the video T, that was bad," Reggie says
"I'm fine,"

A/N: I was really nervous to put this out there and I'm not insinuating this is how all law enforcement is. I saw a video someone took of this and wanted to start to tie that into these books as an issue to bring to light.
