It seemed to have been days. Weeks even. Alois was gone. Was he coming back? Where is he? When is he coming back to me? I sighed. I stood up from my study chair and doing so, the cards I had just set up, fell. I grabbed my walking stick, straightened my jacket, and walked out the study door.
I walked down the hall, soon hearing a loud scream, and the sound of Mey-Rin's maid cart turning. I turned around slowly and saw the cart coming straight towards me. I merely stepped out the way and continued down the hall.
I looked inside the kitchen, only to find Baldroy putting a fire out in the oven. Mey-Rin quickly caught up to me. "Young master! I am terribly sorry, it won't happen again!" She said, pushing up her glasses, and looking down shamefully. I merely nodded and side stepped her. I continued my search for Sebastian until I heard his voice right outside the back door.
I opened the door slowly only to find him holding a jet black cat. "Yes, I love you, kitty, yes I do, yes I do-" He stopped short realizing I was standing there with him. "Er uh. Hey master. Can I help with anything?" He said spinning around with the cat in his hand.
"Get the mail." I said without emotion. "As you wish, master." He said, putting the cat down, taking one more loving look at it, then walking around toward the front of the manor. I looked down at my phone, seeing a message from some unknown number. I quickly swiped the screen and put in my password:
"Owl Lease."
And opened my messages. I opened the unknown number and read:

I was so confused, and I couldn't think clearly. Someone is targeting me. Who is the spider? Did they realize they have the wrong number? Should I tell someone? No. Keep everything to myself. I will just have to wait and see if they send another message to get more information.
I walked slowly to the grand lobby, pondering what just happened. I walked in and saw Sebastian and Claude talking. Wherever Claude was, Alois was. My heart skipped a beat. "ALOIS?" I yelled, unable to control myself. Both men quickly turned to look at me. "Master!" Sebastian said. Claude spun around and walked out the door, closing the doors behind him.
"Wh-what is going on here?" I asked so confused. Why was Claude here? Where is Alois? Weren't they going on a journey?
Sebastian walked over to me. "Claude came here to see if Alois is here.." He said slowly.
"But he's not. He has to be with Claude, he is his butler." I said confused.
"Alois has gone missing. He went on a journey up to the southern mountains to his Aunt's estate. But, he never made it.... That was 1 month ago. Alois has been missing for 2 months now." Sebastian said as quickly as possible.
My mind raced. I quickly teared up realizing what was happening.
"SEBASTIAN, THE SPIDER. THE SPIDER IS ALOIS. THEY HAVE ALOIS!"
