Nothing To Hide

In anticipation of next week’s festivities, I present Nothing To Hide, a five-pager that sees Archie, Betty and Veronica uncovering the mystery surrounding Driftwood Island.

The gang have noticed an unusual amount of traffic to and from the secluded island which, with the exception of seagulls, is normally uninhabited. Having dealt with his fair share of crime rings and saboteurs, Archie’s innocent inquisitiveness turns into raging paranoia as he suspects a secret society has set up camp on the island. He leaves the girls behind to investigate. They disregard his warnings, and that which has been seen can never be unseen.

Betty and Veronica don’t seem particularly fazed by seeing Mr. Weatherbee, Miss Grundy and Cheryl Blossom in the buff. I can only suspect that their indifference has to do with Betty spending time on a farm somewhere, and Veronica’s father being the leader of the Riverdale chapter of the Hellfire club.

Speaking of which, I love how the worldly Mr. Lodge shrugs the whole thing off. The filthy rich have secret cravings that you or I will never fully comprehend.
