"Captain, you got a letter?"
Craider looked up from his paperwork wearing a frown.
Today was 9th May, a Saturday.
His headache was worsening with each new abduction case he took on.
"Who is it from?"
Bedrich moved closer to the desk before handing over the letter.
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
Craider frowned, looking down at the letter.
There was nothing strange about it, nor could he feel any spirituality.
It was plain white with the only title: 'For Mr. Craider Jackmil'.
Bedrich slowly shook his head.
"No, sir. It, well... it was in front of the door."
Craider's eyes narrowed as he turned the letter around.
There was nothing.
It looked like a clumsily written letter, but there was no address.
This meant that someone had to personally come here to deliver the letter.
He hummed, slowly tearing the letter open.
Inside was a single piece of yellowish paper.
Immediately, Craider felt that something was wrong.
The letter started: 'Dear Mr. Captain of the Feynapotter city's official Fertility Order team'.
Craider's eyes shot up, looking at Bedrich with a frown.
Seeing this, Bedrich bent over, looking at the contents.
His reaction was similar to Craider's.
Craider placed the letter down and read the contents.
"Dear Mr. Captain of the Feynapotter city's official Fertility Order team,
We're writing this letter to inform you of what will take place today.
Last time, we felt bad that you didn't receive any warning prior to the incident. As you are the guardians of this city's laws and safety, we thought we'd be proper to give you a forewarning.
Concerning the series of Sanguine disappearances all over the Feynapotter city, we realized that you have yet to find the culprit behind it?
It's expected, the member whom spirit you've Channeled was of low-rank, after all.
Worry not, we've got it under control. The one leading this abduction is Viscount Ricker Buttery, with support from the Rosary Road.
Surprised? We hope you are.
Today, on May the 9th, the Viscount is organizing a quite large ball. We wonder what this ball celebrates? Caution is advised.
You, our dear Captain, don't need to intervene. We only hope you'll calm the ball's participants afterwards.
If something goes awry, you will be able to find the lost Sanguine underneath a wooden structure behind the Viscount's mansion.
But, chances are they'll be gone by the time you're reading this letter.
We hope you won't hold a grudge against us. Please understand that we cannot offer further information.
With Regards, the Abyssal Troop."
As he finished reading, Craider gently massaged his temples.
A few seconds of hesitation later, he stood up.
Bedrich, who also read the letter tensed up.
Craider sighed before looking down at the letter in his hand.
