"'Someone well-versed in medical science and anatomy. Someone with no alibi on the nights of the murders.' And 'someone involved with a secret society or cult of black magic.' Only one individual fulfills all of these conditions. The Viscount of Druitt, one Sir Aleistor Chamber. He graduated from medical school, but does not work at a hospital or practice medicine. He has held several parties at his residence during the season. But, there are rumours that he also hosts secret parties on the side in which only he and his intimate acquaintances may participate." Explained Sebastian as he read over a few papers written on a document.
"The Viscount of Druitt, hm... Now that I think about it, I have heard rumours that he's into black magic or something similar." Madam Red said with suspicion.
"So some kind of ritual is being conducted at those "secret parties". And the prostitutes may have been used as offerings?" Questioned Lau.
"Yes."
"Possibly."
Both Red and Ciel spoke at the same time. They turned to face each other, one glaring and the other raising an eyebrow.
"Tonight, there will be yet another party at the Viscount's residence beginning at 19:00. As the season will soon be coming to an end, it is safe to assume that this evening will be our final opportunity to steal in."
"Madam Red. That is where we stand. Can you do something about it?" Asked Ciel.
"Really. Who do you take me for? I'm quite popular with men, I'll have you know. Obtaining an invitation or two will be child's play." Answered the woman in question.
"Then it's decided. We'll do whatever it takes to get into that 'secret party'. But make certain to never use the Phantomhive name. We may fail to catch them otherwise. This is our only chance!"
"Why is it that I feel as if something bad will happen?" asked Red.
Timeskip
Murmurs casted around as guests poured into the residence for Aleistor Chamber. Carriages pulled up and released more guests. Two carriages pulled up, one with Grell as the driver and the other with Sebastian. Both got off and opened the doors for the occupants inside.
"This is rather grand, isn't it? I wonder if indeed tonight marks the last night of the season?" Asked Madam Red as she was helped out of the first carriage.
"It would appear that this evening will be most delightful." Said Lau as he got out of the second carriage.
"We're done for if we arouse their suspicions. Listen up. We did not come here to amuse ourselves. Do not let your guard down!" Said Ciel as he was helped out last from the first carriage.
Laughter erupted from behind them. They turned to see Red dying from laughter as she was looking at Ciel. The boy glared at her from anger and irritation.
