Well, it's the month of October. To celebrate the month a bit, I chose to do a prequel of The Blue-Eyed Jail Punk where Dirk and Jake are getting comfortable with each other.
Hopefully I get to finish this fanfiction in October and before Halloween.
And the art that's the cover is from prpldragon . tumblr . com.

"Prisoner Dirk Strider: Charged with several cases of murder and attempted escape from government appointed authorities."
Dirk already knows that. But he doesn't retort. He will make sure he acts "nice" enough for these guards. He has to act like a "civilized" prisoner that "gives up on escaping." He has to trick these guys to get some freedom and loopholes in here.
"This is your new cell. Your cellmate is known to be quite a handful so mind your manners."
He doesn't care. Dirk was an assassin. He can analyze and then manipulate his cellmate. He hasn't given up on escaping.
And Dirk has to make sure he can talk to Dave. With this shithole, they are being highly monitored and can't escape so easily like last time. But they will escape and this time, they will succeed.
Dirk keeps his head down but looks at the guards without them noticing. Both have worn out shoes. But one is going faster than the other. One keeps having his hand on Dirk, being more aggressive towards Dirk. Easily, this one wants to be dominant, wants to have more power. Perhaps Dirk can manipulate this one with his possible pride and ego.
The other one is obviously slower but Dirk can recognize that this one has a voice more informative, more neutral, and… more confidence. Through Dirk's peripheral vision, this one has a file and is most likely reading it. But his body posture is… stiff… Dirk can easily use fear on this one but this one definitely has more knowledge than the one who's going aggressive on his ass.
Crunch!
Dirk stops using his peripheral vision, blinks twice, and sees what's in front of him. Here's his new cell and…
Crunch!
…So that's his new cellmate.
Huh…
Dirk narrows his eyes a little. He can't really see his cellmate but Dirk does know that he's wolf-biting…
"This is Jake English. I'm sure you two will get along."
Crunch!
The one with the file gets out his keys but is being precautious. He puts the key in and goes quickly to unlock the door. This one may have a neutral face but with how his body is reacting, he's scared of this Jake English guy. But it doesn't matter who this cellmate is, Dirk is not afraid.
"Say hello to your new cellmate, English."
The cellmate stops chewing his fingers. He turns his head and let the light reveal his face. Widened green eyes, but not from fear… Blood trickling down his mouth and wrist… And that smile he has…
"Hello there…" He speaks with a wavering voice. But Dirk knows this isn't from fear… "Nice to meet you."
I know this is short. I promise that the next one will be longer and hopefully you guys will enjoy this.
