"Help us! We need a doctor!" FP exclaims as he drag me through the hospital as Jughead leads the way and my head lulls to the side onto FP's shoulder.
"Ma'am." Jughead says as he walks up to the receptionist desk.
"Wait your turn, please." the lady tells him.
"She was shot!" Jughead exclaims.
"I need you to step back--" she tells Jughead before he interrupts her.
"She's dying!" Jughead exclaims as he hits his hand on the counter.
"Hey, what's going on here?" a doctor asks as he walks over to us.
"My friend was shot right in the stomach and leg." Jughead tells him as he walks over to us.
"Hey, get me a gurney." the doctor says.
"Right here, here, here." FP tells me as he and Archie place me onto the gurney and I groan out in pain as they do.
"Let's go." the doctor says.
"Call Veronica!" I exclaim as they roll me away from them.
"Hang in there." FP calls out to me and I groan. ••• (Quinn's outfit)

"This is utterly vile. Daddy has already written the story. About the affair you and Fred had. What was he planning to do? Publish that in the Register? And drag you both through the mud?" Veronica says as I slowly walk in over to them and take a seat at the table.
"What has daddy done now?" I ask them and both mom and Veronica snap their heads up at me.
"Mija, what are you doing here?" mom asks me.
"Shouldn't you be resting?" Veronica asks me.
"I am resting. I told the nurses that I felt more comfortable resting at home and they agreed to sign me up as long as I come back tomorrow so they can check my bandages. Now, can get back to the point that daddy's done something please." I tell them.
"Okay then. Fred's running on family values. I'm the law and order candidate. Your father believes an October Surprise like this one would hurt me, but I'd survive. And it would utterly destroy Fred's campaign." mom tells us.
"Wait, what?" I ask mom.
"Wait, you're in on this?" Veronica asks.
"There's a game plan, Veronica, Quinn." mom tells us.
"What kind of man would do this to his own wife? I'll tell you! The kind of man who always has someone else to take the risk, to stand in the line of fire, to run for Mayor. That's what you are to him." Veronica tells mom as she stands up and leans her hands onto the table in front of her.
"A means to an end." I tell mom.
"Oh, no, Quinn, Veronica. Your father would never put us in harm's way." mom tells us.
"The fact that you still believe that after everything he's done, chills me, Mom." Veronica tells her.
"How could you possibly believe that after everything he's done to you, to us, to this family?" I ask mom but she doesn't answer me and I scoff. ••• "This is a game of nerves, Veronica, Quinn, and clearly you've both lost yours." mom tells us as we all stand up and talk and Veronica holds onto my waist to keep me balanced.
"I'd rather have lost my nerve than my mind, which clearly you and daddy have." Veronica tells her.
"I mean, come on mom, that October Surprise wouldn't just destroy Fred's campaign, it would ruin his life! You're not the type of person to ruin someone else's life, just think about this mom! Please, before it's too late." I tell mom and then we hear someone banging on the door.
"Oh, God, who is it?" mom asks and then the front door gets kicked in and crashes to the ground as a tall man walks in and mom stands in front of me and Veronica protectively.
"You may know my father. Goes by the name Papa Poutine. He told me, if he was ever to be murdered, not to take the life of the man who killed him, but to take the lives of those that man loved the most." the man tells us.
"Mom..." Veronica whispers.
"Mijas, run. Run!" Mom exclaims as she grabs onto my hand and we all run into the study mom closes and locks the doors as Veronica barricades the door and then walks over to me and drags me towards the corner of the office by the window as mom rushes over towards us as well.
"Ow, ow, ow!" I exclaim as I hold onto my bandages on my stomach.
"Stay behind me!" mom exclaims as she opens a chest and pulls things out of it and the man kicks the doors open and walks in as mom grabs a gun and raises it up in front of her and shoots the man four times before he falls to the ground dead in front of her. ••• "Veronica? Quinn? Hermonie?" daddy asks as he rushes into the apartment.
"There's another dead body in the study." mom tells him as we all don't turn to face him and mom has a cup of wine in her hand.
"It's your mess, daddy. You clean it up." Veronica tells him.
"Now." I tell daddy and he walks away from us. ••• "Sheriff Minetta delivered the bodies to the coroner's office, tagged them as riot victims, so no one's going to be asking us any questions. I am so sorry. I just thank God that neither of you were hurt." daddy tells us and tries to touch me and Veronica and we flinch away from his touch.
"You mean hurt any further, reminder I was shot twice." I tell daddy.
"I found your October Surprise file." Veronica tells daddy as she drops the file on top of the table.
"Well, your mother understands the costs of winning. Better than almost anyone. Isn't that right, mi amor?" daddy tells her and mom doesn't answer him, but she just stares straight ahead.
"I realized something. There will always be an October Surprise with you. And another and another." I tell daddy as me and Veronica look up to him.
"But while mom may volunteer to be your collateral damage, me and Quinn won't." Veronica tells daddy.
"What'd I always teach you both? Never lose sight of the bigger picture." daddy tells us and both me and Veronica scoffs.
"We're not the ones who's lost sight, daddy." Veronica tells him and then mom turns her head to the side to look at me and Veronica and then daddy walks away from us.
