Archie saw that look but didn't jump to his own defense. Instead, he let the soft hum of the solar-powered fan he had set up in the backseat and the large dish of water tucked behind the driver's seat on the floorboard make his own defense case. All four windows were open about an inch at the top to further ventilate the car so he rolled them up.
"Usually I leave the windows rolled down since I know he won't jump out if I leave him in the car for a few minutes. Or if he does, it's usually for a reason and he'll come back if I call," Archie said as he started the engine. "But after someone tried to cut his leash and snatch him when I was taking him for a walk a couple of days ago, I didn't want anybody else to get any ideas. When I came over to visit you, I left him in the hotel room with the TV on. He's incredibly smart, but when he gets bored, things get destroyed. Besides, in the hotel room he could walk around if he wanted to. If he was cooped up in the car all the time, he wouldn't even be able to do that."
The hotel maids had adored Pongo if the crumbs from treats Archie certainly hadn't been giving him were any indicator. (Particularly since one would've expected such things to have been vacuumed up.)
He didn't start driving, simply allowing them to sit in the car as Pongo leaned in-between the front seats to get a good scratch behind the ears from Archie.
In response to Gold's statement, Archie said, "That's up to you. I don't think it's right you were thrown out, but I'm not going to drag you kicking and screaming back to Storybrooke if you don't want to go. If you'd rather stay out here, I just want to make sure you'll be all right."
