For a few nights since then, Ciel would ask ______ to stay by him until he fell asleep. Finding the most comfort when he feels their presence near him. Sadly, however, a new case had come up that has been causing quite a stir that the Queen just had to request the Phantomhive's services. He, Sebastian and of course ______ stay in the townhouse a bit, gathering information on the recent killings. While also having Madame Red and Lau following, seemingly uninvited guests tagging along for the ride. Unfortunately, he and the London police are at odds when it comes to crimes such as this. Causing them to go to their usual informant; The Undertaker.

The Undertaker's price for information is the same, a bit of laughter and he will speak. The group tries their best to instill a laugh, but none succeed until Sebastian asks everyone to wait outside for a moment. They wait, and a loud cackle comes from the shop. Sebastian allows the group inside quickly after the Undertaker giggles out in agreement. Telling them what they wish to know about the victims he had personally embalmed...

"You see my most recent patient was in rather terrible shape, but I made her beautiful again no worries! The only concern with these recent darlings is that all of them are incomplete. They were all badly ruined, except the extraction of the uterus, is always done with practiced precision. They make a mess of the body with that particular part the only clean and precisely executed action."

"Only a professional can extract an organ like that, and so quickly and precisely even in such settings. Our guy is def someone who's practiced that kinda thing."

______'s 'assumption' is very likely, with the Undertaker agreeing. Praising the servant for their observation as the mortician walks over behind where Ciel is sitting and towards them. Demonstrating using ______, on how the killer executes their crimes. Ciel listens intently as The Undertaker provides his macabre insights into the recent killings, his mind working quickly to piece together the puzzle. The information is as disturbing as it is crucial, and he can feel the weight of the investigation pressing upon him. As ______ offers their observation, Ciel's gaze shifts towards them, acknowledging their astute deduction.

"Indeed," he agrees, his voice steady and focused. "The precision and speed of the organ extraction is indicative of a skilled and experienced individual. Someone who knows what they're doing."

As The Undertaker approaches ______, Ciel watches with a mixture of curiosity and concern. He trusts the mortician's expertise, but the thought of ______ being used as a demonstration gives him a moment of hesitation.

"Be careful, _______" he cautions softly, his eyes fixed on their figure. "If anything makes you uncomfortable, let me know immediately."

Despite his concern, there's a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes, a desire to understand the intricacies of the killer's methods. He knows that sometimes, uncomfortable truths must be faced in order to solve a case.

"First they slit her throat with a sharp object. And then takes that womanly part of hers. Leaving the rest of her in rips and tatters for the rats..." The mortician explains, moving his hand over _______'s neck in a slicing motion before tracing a circle where the womanly 'parts' would be

"Taking the whole 'Ripper' part to a whole 'nother level..."

The Undertaker chokes out in hysterical laughter, finding _____'s comment most amusing "Guh-Hehehehe!!! Indeedy little one! Haha- Maybe next time you should be the one to give me the laughter I desire..!"

______ then takes this as a challenge, pulling out a joke or two and causing the mortician a bout of laughter with just their first one- "Ya think glass coffins might be a success?"

"No I don't think so-"

"I mean it remains to be seen." This one causes the Undertaker to keel over to the floor in laughter, finding their response all to amusing and enough to make the man choke out a gasp or two

"Pff- Bahahahahaha!!!"

"With how much you're rolling I'd half expect you to die of laughter"

"Ughwahahahahaha!!!" Ah yes, they will definitely be useful when they need to 'pay' their dear informant again for later instances.

Ciel watches the interaction between ______ and The Undertaker, a mixture of fascination and amusement playing across his features. The morbid humor and dark jokes seem to come effortlessly to _____, and he can't help but be impressed by their ability to lighten the atmosphere in such a macabre setting.

As The Undertaker doubles over in laughter, Ciel can't suppress a small smile, finding himself caught up in the contagious mirth. The sound of laughter fills the room, momentarily chasing away the darkness that hangs heavy in the air.

Once the laughter subsides, Ciel's smile fades slightly, his expression turning serious once again. Ciel's gaze lingers on Lumine, his voice a low, controlled timbre as he speaks up again, his words layered with a mix of intrigue and a desire for justice. "Indeed, it seems our killer possesses a perverse level of skill and precision, executing his victims with surgical expertise. Only someone familiar with the human anatomy, someone with ample experience, could accomplish such a feat."

He clenches his gloved hands, the tension running through his petite frame palpable, and his determination burning brighter than ever. "We must find this twisted individual, bring them to justice, and ensure that no more innocent lives are taken in such a brutal manner."

His eyes shift to The Undertaker, lingering on the mortician's eerie smile as he continues his manic laughter. "Undertaker, I await your further assistance. Provide us with any additional details you may uncover. We must catch this killer before the streets of London run red with blood."

With a final nod, Ciel rises from his seat, his gaze resolute as he turns to face his companions. "Sebastian, _______, we have work to do. Let us put an end to this reign of terror."

As they make their way out of The Undertaker's morbid shop, Ciel can't help but feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. The chase has begun, and he intends to track down the killer, no matter what dark secrets lie within the tangled web of London's underbelly.
