The comic begin with Silas Symphony, moping in the motel he finds himself in, once again he's been found out by the people he was trying to game out of their money and was ran out of town, he let his humiliation
" don't be so glum Songbird", voice breaks the silence and Silas, his eyes around the room until they land on something he doesn't think was there moments ago
The cat shaped wall clock looks at him, and does something he doesn't think a wall clock should be capable of
" chin up Songbird", it pauses and does something else a wall Clark shouldn't be capable of, it pushes itself from its perch and begins to change shape
" I'm here to fix all your troubles", the person shaped thing floating above the floor continue, the only remnants of its previous form being the table between his legs and the mischievous smile on his face, his eyes are now hidden under a fedora
" what are you?", Silas says finally when everything about this weird situation finally settles into place.
" lots of things, but to you, I'd like to", he pauses again, reaching out a clenched hand and opening. It is a piece of parchment unfolds.," a friend",
Silas looks at the piece of parchment looking over the words he can see clearly in the dingy motel lights, it seems to be some sort of deal form, he thinks for a moment/if this thing is magic that it can help me get, and with that thought, he grabs the floating pen that was next to the paper and signs without hesitation
The paper rolls up and disappears like it was never there , the thing that was once a wall, clock laughs, and Silas thinks it's a laugh of partnershipThe next section of the comic begins long into the past in Victorian London , James Cratic waiting for the day he hangs, he falls to his knees once again, and begins his please to a force beyond imagining
" please God, Satan, anything out there let me live", he prostrates himself to the cold brick floor, and begins to weep at his mortality
" tears do not suit you my love", affect Scottish voice, finally answers his please, James raises his head to see the conceited eyes of the man he was going to die for loving
" Peter, you have returned, I thought they", but he is shushed and pushed back up right on his knees," no human execution can destroy me my love, one can destroy you but not today", the brunette wipes his tears from his cheek and looked down at him, and though his eyes are obscured james knows they are filled with love
" oh thank God, you have come to see me" James says a smile creasing his cheeks, he wiped his face with a handkerchief Peter gives him
" yes but, you have to do something for me in return", Peter replies, raising the closed umbrella uses as a cane
" anything for you my love, i've always given anything you want as you would me"
" then it is a deal", Peter smile at the acceptance, he raises his umbrella and does a night motion ceiling, their contract
This execution would not be the death of James Craddock, he would die one day, but that would be another time and another placeThe final section of the comic begins with someone saying something
" so we got a deal your old sport", says the man in the 10 gallon cowboy hat, the person who is speaking to is dressed quite oddly in something that looks like a cross between a Colt robe and a bathrobe, the man is also bald with glasses, he adjust them and looks down at the Cowboys outstretched hand
" if you promise to give back my son then it is deal" the bold man says finally after taking a breath and takes the cowboy's hand in a shake
" oh don't worry , your kids is gonna be just fine", the cowboy laughs, and then tugs harshly, and the bold man seems to detach from his body
He can only look down in horror as he's now empty body rises from when it fainted , and when it's opens its eyes, his pupils don't look back at him, in their place, a goat like eyes, and the thing in his body laughs in the Cowboys voice as it said about doing the work it's brother started
