"The cops are stalking tincity Klaus." Sweetpea stressed towards Klaus, Fang and I as I let Jug in.

"I propose a manhunt of our own." Klaus begun slamming his hand upon the table. "I want Every serpent searching for Joaquin. No stone left unturned!" Klaus ordered.

"Serpents don't just shiv other Serpents, What the hell do you think got into him?" Sweetpea replied as Jug stepped in saying.

"According to Archie, Joaquin did it for Warden Norton. When the warden confronted Betty, he called Archie the Red Paladin. Plus the warden poisoned himself with cyanide and blueberry fresh aid." My eyes widened. "And he worked for Riverdale high before the detention centre. The question is, was he playing G&G with someone or for someone?" As that last word left Jugs mouth, my head started to spin.

"Whoa." I said as I almost fell over, fang caught me before I could hit the ground.

"Luci? You ok?" They all asked concerned, Fangs helped me sit down on the couch. Sitting beside me he placed his hand on my back, rubbing small circles.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." I reassured them as Sweetpea gave me a look. "I'm ok Sweetpea, I promise." Him heavily sighing, he went back on topic.

"And since he's dead, Joaquin's the only one who can know the answer."

"But Joaquin may not be alone. Kevin said he's rolling with a new gang." Klaus informed.

"Those gargoyle creeps you saw?" Fangs questioned, Remembering Klaus filling me in on that information earlier. Jughead walked home after we got Archie to the bunker and saw the Gargoyle king with minions around him.

"Exactly. And if the gang is working for the king, then they're gonna take us right to him."

"Klaus." I begun as I answered the phone, I was put on lockdown in the caravan with Jughead watching over me.

"How is my queen?" I could hear Fang and Sweetpeas voices pop up in the background. Saying Hi.

"Haha, hi guys. I'm feeling much better." I replied with a slight huff.

"Ok good, we found Joaquin. Meet you in a bit?"

"Of course."

"See you soon, I love you."

"I love you too." As I hung up, Jug and I looked at each other across the van. "Ready?" I asked.

"Let's go." He and I started walking towards the door, watching as our father bursted through the door. Like a firecracker on ice.

"Going somewhere, you two?" He quizzed.

"We're going to meet up with the serpents." Jug explained.

"Yeah? Like hell you two are." In a moment of what felt like a split second, Dad whipped out two handcuffs.

"What are you doing?!"Jug exclaimed as he was handcuffed to the cupboard.

"Are you out of your mind?" I yelled dad making me sit on the ground, hand cuffing me to under the sinks cupboard doors.

"What I should have done, the second I saw you playing. Lucifer Jones! I am disappointed that you didn't step in to help." I just placed my head up against the cupboard door, throwing my free hand in the air in a gesture of come on! His attention landed back on Jug. "You're addicted, G&Gs like a drug. It got into your blood."

"I'm not addicted. Lucifer isn't even addicted or has any part with the game." Jug tried to protect me. "I just need to ascend so I can find the Gargoyle king, and put an end to all this."

"You're right." Dad begun. "You sound nothing like an addict. My mistake. But I know Lucifer when it comes to you, she'll do her best to keep you safe. I talked with Klaus." Dad took Jugheads phone, he walked over to me. I just gave it to him. "It's time for you to sober up, boy. For your own good. And Lucifer this is for your safety."
