His Butler // Larry

09

The sounds of the wooden wheel are heard as the group heads back home after they have spoken to the undertaker. Louis and Harry are both concentrating hard as they are zoned out on nothing really. Madam Red and Stan watch them as they think, passing glances to each other wondering if they should speak. Finally Louis breaks the tension. "What he said narrows down the field of suspects considerably."

Harry nods to his master. "Has to be someone who is well knowledgeable in medicine or any surgical skills." Harry said letting Stan and Madam Red listen to him. "And given the fact that they remove the internal organs, seems pretty ritualistic. Which means we should also consider societies and black magic."

Madam Red scoffs. "That doesn't narrow the field at all! I'm a doctor I could have done the dissection. Summer is ending before another week passes the season will be over. Any suspects will go back ho..."

Harry interrupts. "Then we'll simply conclude our investigation before then." Madam Red and Stan are taken back. "I'll make a list of suspects now and question all of them." Hw tells Louis before he opens the door of the carriage. Stan and Madam Red gasp wondering what on earth he is doing.

"Now if you'll excuse me." He said before he jumps out of the carriage quickly.

"HE DOES KNOW THE CARRIAGE IS MOVING, RIGHT?" Madam Red exclaims

Louis puts his chin on his hand. "Harold has it under control. We can just sip some tea and wait." Louis states dully.

They arrive to the home quickly. Madam Red and Stan still shook up by this whole ordeal. They open the door and Harry smirks with a bow. "Welcome home. I have been awaiting your arrival. Your afternoon tea is ready." He said taking Louis's hat the boy gives to him.

Louis walks away and leaves the shocked two with the butler. "How did you get here?!" Madam Red exclaims

"I finished what I needed so I came home ahead of you." He states

Madam Red gasps. "You already finished the suspect list?"

"And more...I talked to every single one of them." He said proudly showing off the scrolls that had suspects on it.

"Oh come on Harry that's-" She was interrupted by Harry again as Harry undid the scroll and began to read every single thing on it. Louis of course looked back to his butler with pride.

"So we now have a main suspect." Harry says finishing all the names.

"Aleister Chambers, the Viscount Druitt..." Harry said as they approached the house that belonged to this man. There was a house party tonight and it was a prefect time to investigate.

"Not only does he have a medical history...but there's rumors of his black magic history too." Madam Red speaks

Stan then speaks up. "So you think that he holds underground parties to sacrifice the prostitutes?" He questions

They pull up to the front and Louis speaks as he gets out. He is wearing drag, it being the only thing they can think of to get answers. He looks pretty though. "We only have one chance to find out."

"This is ridiculous." Louis grumbles as he messes with the uncomfortable dress.

"We can't let anyone know you're a Tomlinson, my lord..." Harry said as they are slowly walking around the party. Louis grumbles and he fidgets with his dress some more.
