Getting Archie set up in bed whilst Toni cleaned his wound, placing the last bandage on while we all circled around the escapist. "There. You are all patched up. Now don't make any sudden movements." Toni instructed him.

"I won't, thanks Toni." Archie's gravely voice replied, Toni giving him a smile. She stood up attending Cheryl's side once again. Veronica took her place where she just sat.

"Who did this to you Archie?" Veronica questioned him softly.

"It was Joaquin. He stabbed me." Everyone's eyes went to Kevin. "I think the warden made him do it." Kevin turned around, seeing the hurt and betrayal in his eyes. Archie asked. "Guys, where the hell am I?"

"You're in Dilton Doileys bunker." Jug explained.

" The only people who know it exists are in this room. Right now it's the safest place in Riverdale for you, I promise." Betty added.

"Dilton Doiley has a bunker?" I huffed at Archie's comment.

"We'll catch you up to speed once you're rested, okay?" I raised an eyebrow at him, Archie smiled at me in return. Watching as Veronica's nails danced upon Archie's skin, she pulled down a bit of his pants saying in distress.

"Archie! What is that on your hip?"

"Courtesy Of Warden Norton." I looked up at Klaus who had fire in his eyes. "To put me in my place, after I tried to escape the first time." Jug got closer, saying.

"The warden branded you, and ordered Joaquin to stab you?"

"Jug." Betty whispered to him.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" Veronica announced, everyone standing near the entrance joined the rest of the group. Veronica shifted her body, opening up to us. "Since my father saw me, I need to do some damage control on the home front. But someone needs to stay with Archie, at all times." Archie then interrupted her.

"Ronnie, I don't need anyone—."

"Arch, no argument. You need someone here with you." I stepped in.

"You go ahead, V. Jughead and I will take the first shift." Betty included, watching a sigh of relief come upon Veronica.

"Excellent." Veronica then looked to all of us. "Now, equally important...everyone in this room is part of a pact. From this moment on, no one knows where this bunker is. No one was involved with that breakout. And no one is aware of Archie's whereabouts. To the grave."

"Lucifer Jones." Klaus's voice broke me from my trance. "You alright?" He asked, placing his hand upon my thigh as I sat on the window seal.

"Yeah, I was just thinking." I rubbed my thumb against his skin.

"If you're worried about Archie, he's safe. You... we got him out." He reassured.

"I know, I know." I replied yawning, Klaus placed his dry workload hand upon my face.

"Get some rest my queen, the kingdom is at rest." I stood up, his hand coming to mine.

"For now."
