Unwanted (Ciel X Alois)

Chapter 8

Dear Guard dog

It is with great sadness that I am writing to you. It has been brought to my attention that unidentifiable bodies have been found at ports all around England and Europe. The bodies were found forced into a suitcase, each with a letter. It appears as if the deceased has no family members or friends, it is believed they may be homeless. I ask that the killer is found and compromised.

Her Majesty the Queen

Ciel frowned at the letter as he tried to piece together the evidence. Could it be possible for the murders to be done by one person? Were their more than one killer? Who were the missing people? What did they have in common? What was the killers motive? The watch Dog mused over this for a while, coming up with a few ideas. Before he could create a suitable hypothesis, however, he needed to visit one or more of the crime scenes. With this thought in mind, the bluenette stood from his chair and called upon his butler.

"Sebastian, prepare the carriage. We're going to London." Upon hearing his name Sebastian opened the door and bowed after hearing his masters order before leaving again.

With a sigh, Ciel slipped on his coat and top hat before following his butler. Ciel had hoped a case wouldn't surface so soon, especially before he had informed the queen about his new assistant. Regardless, his country needed him and like the well-trained dog he was, Ciel would follow the command of his mistress.

Curious eyes watched Ciel as he made his way through the manor with purpose. Ciel could feel the eyes burning holes into his back as he came to a stop.

"Is there something wrong?" Ciel asked, not even turning to face the blonde.

"N-no... I just..." Alois stammered, he coughed be to regain composure before continuing "Where are you going?"

"The queen has given me a job to do," Ciel replied, not giving Alois to much information.

"Can I come?" Alois asked, not really caring about the nature of the outing he just wanted to go outside the manor gardens.

Ciel spun to face the blonde, a single eye searching for any signs of the blonde being unstable after all the past few days had been rather emotional for the earl. If he was to join Ciel, the watchdog had to make sure the blonde wouldn't snap or be affected by the crime scene. The blonde almost seemed to shrink back into his open room under the searching eye. When Ciel found nothing to indicate the blonde was still in his state of depression, he nodded his head. Alois' eyes lit up and a small smile tugged on his lips.

"Okay! Let me get my coat." He said before disappearing back into his room.

Ciel waited for the blonde to return before he continued on his way to the main hall. When they arrived Ciel ignored the look of shock on his butler's face and instead led the blonde into the awaiting carriage.

Alois frowned as he followed the shorter bluenette towards the London docks, the shorter seemed to walk around like he owned the place, it almost annoyed the blonde. Alois pushed the slight twinge of annoyance aside and decided to simply watch the watchdog at work. He watched with mild interest as Ciel walked up to a police officer who was guarding the crime scene and flashed his badge, the officer raised a brow at the sight of the child but let him close to the scene. The suitcase remained propped up again the bring wall, however, the contents had been removed, all that remained was the letter clipped to the leather and a few scraps of evidence. Alois leaned closer to the scene nearly towering over the now crouching bluenette.

"Trancy." Ciel's voice was demanding, causing the blonde to jump and stand up straight. Ciel turned to face him before he spoke again. "Come here."
