Chapter 20: His Butler and Rook, Imprisoned

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep into the early morning of the wintery water ports of London, the icy cold waters were breaking with ice as low paying employees were digging through the waters to sell for money. Or to at least clear the waters for the ships that come into port. Two employees who were out on the waters this night, a young boy and a elder man with a long white beard was rowing the boat while the boy was digging through the waters for the treasures that were drop into the icy water.

As a few ships were porting in the boy gazed at one of the boats just passing by decorated differently than the ones that was coming into town. It wasn't until the boy noticed someone's shadow leaping into the moon light the boy gasped. As a captivating yet strange beauty, base off of the woman's  pig tales in her hair. He was brought back to his senses to get back to work. When his poker hit something! It was heavy and hard to bring up out of the icy water, that the elderly man help the boy pull it up. Finally bring it up to see the top of whatever it was the boy scream as the elderly gentlemen gasped as he set the boy behind him!

For a dead body with blood coming from his back, had been drop into the icy waters hoping no one would find him. When the morning light hit the streets Scotland yards police were called to see the body that was brought back to the port. As a crowd was forming around the police investigator Fred Abberline was showing Arthur Randall as he looks over the body and seeing if any kind of I.D was on the body. Randall is using his eyes to think it was a robbery and he was murdered because of that.

However, Abberline corrects him telling him that through his eyes the killing blow was a well-placed hit. No low-life thief could have made a blow like that. But still thinking since he is the chief of the Scotland yards, he still went with WHAT he knows as a mafia hit then. He then fixed his eyes saying how word around the street was that a 'new drug' was on the market thinking THAT was what the robber was after. Abberline stood up explaining how they have to find out who this man was, Ciel's voice came in saying that HE already has the information on him.

His name was John Stanley.

Sebastian walked over with the folder of the man's I.D. smoothly handing it to Randall who stanch it away from him. Wondering what Ciel was playing at, calmly and coolly Ciel informs Randall what his 'civic duty' is. However Randall doesn't even bother to look at the young earl rudely tells him to spare him from his play-acting. His next question he faced Ciel's eye.

"What is it you are after? Just say it."

"All right, I shall Sir Arthur. I want you to show me this man's belongings."

Abberline bud in saying how he already looked and informed Ciel how there wasn't anything on him. Not even any proof of his I.D. Sebastian looked behind into the crowd as Abberline was speaking noticed (Y/n) was reading a book with Hinaichigo, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki close by her. Looking up she blinked once smiling at him showing she knows it none of her business. The butler made a crooked smile at her.

Although (Y/n) did hear some words she looked up seeing a young boy dressed in street clothes with a hat watching the people in the middle. It seem he looked, like he had something to say. As his eyes wandered around they meet hers as she blinked confused at him. As if asking through her eyes if he knows something. But the boy looked more scared than anything as he quickly dived into the sea of people running away it seem like.

It seem Randall didn't want Ciel around anymore sensing this Ciel politely bowed his head thanking at least Abberline as he headed on his way out leaving everything off with that. Sebastian followed Ciel as Souseiseki and the others follow after him. Randall watched with a tick on his back wondering why her Majesty the Queen was trusting a brat like that? Making their way into a carriage the dolls asked what was that all about? Sebastian wondered what his young master's next order was? (Y/n) sat next to Ciel as he rest his chin over his palm as he thought out his game-plan of this case.
