Unwanted (Ciel X Alois)

Chapter 10

The body had been found but other than a letter next to the deceased no other evidence was found. Ciel and Alois looked at the crime scene, Ciel was unfazed by the scene before him having seen similar multiple times before however Alois, on the other hand, felt slightly ill looking at the blood surrounding the male in front of him.

Ciel frowned as he looked over the crime scene for evidence again, he knew this killer was the very one they were looking for because of the note next to the males head, however, all the other evidence didn't match up. 1. The males neck was slashed, blood had long since oozing out, unlike previous murders that had all been caused by strangulation. 2. The victim was left out in plain sight, found in the hallway outside one of the lower class cabins. This victim also had a family, one of his children had found him and asked a stranger for help. None of this added up and to be honest, it was annoying Ciel to no end, he was hoping this would be a quick easy case however it appears as if their killer has other plans. Ciel sighed as he scratched his forehead and glanced at his butler.

"This is useless." He muttered glancing at the crime scene. "Sebastian, make a list of possible suspects," Ciel said, putting on a glove and taking the letter next to the victims head and placing in his briefcase.

"I'll see if this adds to the evidence we have already, for now, call Scotland Yard and tell them there's been another death." With that Ciel turned to leave, gesturing for his blonde companion to follow and leaving behind his butler.

Ciel studied the letters in front of him and frowned, he could spell out the word River, however which river did the killer mean, there were loads of rivers all around England and across Europe for that matter. Ciel considered the possible rivers the killer could be referring to with the two remaining letters but was having no luck.

"What's the most famous river in England?" A voice asked breaking Ciel from his thoughts.

"I'm not sure, probably River Thames," Ciel replied not even bothering to look up from the letters in front of him.

"Maybe that's where the killer's hints are leading," Alois said, pointing to the letters in front of Ciel.

"That's absurd. You can't just assume something like that Alois. The clues aren't clear yet." Ciel said with a huff and looked at the blonde.

"Yet?! Ciel how many more deaths have to happen before you're going to finally go after this killer?!" Alois shouted leaning forward.

"I'm on this boat aren't I?! We're doing all we can with the evidence we have Alois, sometimes it takes time." Ciel stood up from his from his bed, staring daggers into Alois' icy blue eyes.

"I've been doing this a lot longer than you Alois Trancy. Don't you forget that." Ciel sneered before walking out their shared bedroom.

Sebastian frown as he stared at the list of names in front of him, there were only 3 suspects he'd managed to find but something told him these people were innocent. The killer was well hidden, even Sebastian couldn't find them. Sebastian had grown used to be able to solve cases quickly for his young master, it was beyond frustrating that this killer seemed to be going undetected by even him.

With a sigh, Sebastian checked the time on his pocket watched and internally cursed. He'd spent far too long fulfilling this order, it's almost lunchtime for the two earls. He quickly made his way back to the teen's bedroom and frowned when he saw a familiar blue-haired male walking towards him.

"Where have you been Sebastian? Did you get the list of suspects?" The snappy bluenette asked, hands clenched in fists at his sides.

"Yes, young master. Sorry, it took so long." Sebastian bowed and handed over the piece of paper to the teen.

"There's only 3?" Ciel asked, looking at his butler with wide eyes.

"Yes, these were the only 3 people who were not in the hall for breakfast," Sebastian said, straightening up and watching the young earl before him.

Ciel bit his lip as he read over the three names and glanced back at his butler.

"Very well. We'll continue the search after lunch, I'm hungry." Ciel said before walking into his bedroom.

Sebastian followed obediently behind him and stood in the doorway waiting for his young master to ready himself for his meal. He watched as Ciel placed all his evidence back in his briefcase and snapped the metal clasps shut before straightening up and glancing at the blonde on the bed opposite to his. The bluenette frowned before walking towards his butler.

"Let's go." He said before leading the way to the hall for his meal.

Alois groaned as the sound of his stomach rumbling roused him from his sleep, he sighed as he sat up in his bed and glanced around the now empty room. He ran a hand through his soft locks before placing his hand on his rumbling belly.

"I wonder what time it is." mumbled, stretching his hand above his head and yawning.

He stood up from his bed and tidied back the covers before walking out of his room in hopes of finding some form of off. He wandered down the halls of the ship and glanced at all the extravagant paintings on the walls. He wandered aimlessly, following the corridors deep into the ship. It always amazed him the amount of money upper-class people spend on making such trivial places look expensive. He looked about his head a large chandelier above his head, admiring the way the candlelight twinkled through the glass beads.

Suddenly everything seemed to turn upside down, he could no longer see the chandelier but was now looking down the corridor towards his room. A sharp pain shot through his head and his mind felt foggy from the impact of the wooden floor on his scalp. With a hiss, he glanced around to see a man in an expensive looking blue suit with a red tie peaking from under neither his blazer, a black top hat rested on his curly black hair casting shadows down his sharp features.

"Sorry." The man mumbled with a heavy accent, the man quickly straightened up before picking up his briefcase that had fallen out of his hand in the collision and held a hand out to Alois.

Alois took the hand and pulled himself up, brushing off any dust that may have got on his clothes and glanced at the man in front of him.

"You should watch where you're going, sir." Alois sneered as his pulled his waistcoat down and straightened his bow around his neck. "You don't know who you could be walking into." He added with a smirk, studying the nervous looking fellow before him.

"I'm sorry." The man said again, before quickly walking past the young earl.
