[ as many times as they've been here before - meeting out front with vegas in tow - it doesn't quite feel the same as being in a town they both know like the back of their hands. it still makes him smile, seeing jug lean down to pet the daemon, like perhaps fred andrews is going to pull up in a beat-up truck and ask do you boys feel like pizza tonight?
he doesn't and archie's left with a loaded question, wondering how exactly to explain the events of the night before. he has no poker face, so there's no point in trying to lie, not that he would. ]
Betty said something about people being pulled from different points in time. [ he throws it out there like a top, lets it spin, not sure where it will land. he's asking a question he hasn't yet voiced. in every time travel movie, you aren't supposed to mess with the past by telling people too much about their future. still, these are his best friends. they deserve to know. ] Right before I got here, Betty and I were investigating a case that had been closed for years. It was never solved. A family was murdered in their home in the middle of the night and officially, the police never found the killer. Unofficially, the one surviving son and a few members in the town took justice into their own hands. We were trying to find where they buried the body in order to save someone else's life.
[ there are some truths he hasn't gathered the courage for yet. betty kissed me, i kissed her back. i could have died. ]
It was pretty touch and go there for awhile. We didn't find anything in the grave. [ but the tightness in his jaw, the aversion of his gaze - he's holding something back. ]
