You awoke with a yawn stretching out your aching muscles. Blinking tiredly you see Issac, and Jack both curled up in bed right next to you sleeping soundly. Smiling softly you couldn't imagine anything better. Though you knew you had to get up eventually so you begrudgingly do so without waking them up. Going downstairs with a yawn you notice Pin is sitting down on one of the kitchen chairs sipping coffee. It was kinda weird seeing him out and about without him near a piano.

"You know staring is quite rude." You jump up in shock.

"I'm so sorry! It's just...weird seeing you out of your room.." Pin sighed softly before sipping a little bit of his coffee, and laying the cup down gently.

"Sit." You perk up at his invitation for a chat, and do so happily. Taking the chair next to his.

"So..what happened with that...Frankie was it? How did you guys find him?" Confused you go to ask how he knew he was back, but before you could he stopped you.

"That guy..the one I was telling you about...he told me. He keeps up with little things like that..it's all he really is good for." Lifting his coffee up once more, and taking another sip before setting it down once more he continues.

"I wanted to know about yesterday. Well..more like I was told to get this information..." You panic momentarily wondering who could have requested such information though again he stops you.

"Again. That demon wants it.." Oh!

"Well..uh it's kinda hard to explain...I mean I'm guessing you know about timelines, and dimensions, and shit." He smirks amused at your boredom for this topic.

"You know..usually humans love little things like this. Why not you?" You look up to him unamused. He smirks, and waves it off.

"Answering your former question. Yes I do know about dimensions, and timelines. Though I'm guessing the operator was behind this one.." Pin's voice suddenly became serious. It was..chilling.

"Can you..tell me about the operator?" He sighs.

"He's a monster..he manipulates children, and teenagers with bad lives to work under him...he's also extremely powerful..the operators face..or lack of..it's so...terrifying"

"It..doesn't have a face..?" He shudders at the remembrance of it.

"Indeed..though let's not talk about it...let's discuss your new relationship." You blink.

"How do you get all this information..?" He laughs.

"Trust me..I wish I didn't know every little detail..though someone has to apparently." He sighed wistfully.

"I wonder what would've happened if I remained a human..sometimes when I see you...I remember."

"Is that a good thing or...?" He smirks.

"Of course. Though sometimes it feels like a curse."

"Your confusing. You know that?"

"Good. I must be going back to my piano duties. I bid you a good day." As he walks off you can't help but wonder why he keeps so much secrets.

A sudden clanking sound emitted from the tent. Tons of scribbled out papers that had looked to be important were crossed in red ink. The cause? The mad jester up and about throwing rusted old posts and pans trying to cause loud crashing noises to alert anyone of his presence. Why? Cause he was waiting for someone.

"Hey.." Helen muttered upon arriving. The jester smiled a crazed sinister smile. 'Finally'. He thought to himself.

"I'm here for that deal? I want.." Helen began to explain yet the crazed jester cut them off.

"Yeah, yeah. You want ol' pup back blah blah Dina safe yada yada! Can you just hold up your end of the deal, and reveal their damn location!" Helen sighed.

"There're at a mansion that's owned by three guys. Three guys that you know actually..Pin, Vine, and...uhm I don't know the third ones name.." The jester let out a barking laugh.

"Hehe~ found you bastards! So that's where you all were hiding! How clever." Helen waited patiently for the jester to stop monologuing.

"Hmm..why are you still here?" Helen jumped up.

"My reward..? Dina and pup?" The jester scoffed.

"Yeah, yeah. Just wait at the mansion, okay? You'll get your reward.."

"Okay.." Helen left to return to Dina.

One thing is never make a deal with a crazed jester.

No matter how desperate.
