Deal with a Fool

"Never trust a man who's smile doesn't meet with his eyes,

For his intention can be full of lies,

But have faith to something unaware,

'Cuz the one who's different gives that special care"

The mysterious adoloscent walked out of the shadowy corners of the room, nothing on his face but a smile.

"Golly! Did I scare you? I apologize, no need to feel threatened, friend." He said.

"Don't call me friend."

"Oh, of course. Everyone has name, and mine is John. John Doe! I was the Royal fool, until I got into the king's nerves. Threw me down here for my, humour, if you know what I mean. What's YOUR story?"

"I'm Ace."

John looks at him suspiciously, noticing his symbol on his forehead.

"Spade? You're from the extinct kingdom?"

Ace ignores his questions.

"Well I'll be lucky! It's pretty nice to finally meet a Spade. All I heard about them is that your kin is super scary."

Ace still ignores him.

"Quiet guy, I like that, but I know you have no plans staying here for long. Don't wanna miss the party right?"

"Today is my birthday." Ace told him.

"So it's your party?" John questioned. "Well that's shit isn't it? Today's your day then you'll get thrown in here? That's awful dude, but do not worry, I am your ticket out."

Ace didn't respond, instead he stared at John suspiciously.

"Dude, I know, I may have a pretty bad first empression but if you want a way out of here, then I'm your Peter Pan to your Neverland."

"Peter Pan to my what?" Ace asks him.

"Nevermind..."

John gets off from his corner, and approaches the cell bars.

John then start shaking them loudly. "Howdy ya'll? How's your piss drinks?"

"Hey clown!" A guard shouted as he approaches their cell. "You better shut the fuck up or I'll slice your annoying tongue to pieces."

John annoys the guard. The guard then grabs him by the knock and pulls his head hard into the cell bars.

"Are you sure you know what are you doing?" Ace questions him as John is dizzy on the cobble floor.

"Look dude, I know I may seem like that door-to-door salesman you can't trust, but times today are different. I've been here for like a week but it feels like forever! Stuck in this hell hole with sticks and bones. Trust me, I'll get you out of here as quick as the sunrise touches the waters of Solitaire."

Ace had no other choice. Get his head chopped off or take the offer, and pretty sure Ace doesn't want to die yet. Ace then shows his hand to John. John shakes it happily.

"It's a deal, I'll help you get out of here."
