"What? When?" I asked. "Last night at 9:43. Sebastian we have alot of running to do today. I'd like to be home before dinner." Ciel stated. "Of course my lord." Sebastian replied. "Wait, what time was Jack here last night?" I thought. I leaned my back against the door of the manor waiting for Ciel to finish up breakfast and tea. "Hey Sebastian, what time last night did you come in and check on me?" I asked trying to make sure Ciel couldnt hear me clearly. "I'm not quite sure. Why do you ask?" I knew I risked sounding suspicious when asking that question but I need to know. "No particular reason I was just curious." I shrugged. Silence hit the air again like it always did. "The same things as always. Ciel sipping his tea and Sebastian standing next to him waiting for him to finish. I feel like something was missing." Just as I was lost in thought I heard a big boom. It sounded like it came from outside. I rushed out the manor door and from behind me I could here Ciel order Sebastian to go and see what happened. What I see is smoke, dead plants, Finnie, and Baldroy. I rushed over to them. They both were freaking out when they noticed Sebastian and I were rushing over to them. "Sebastian! We are so sorry! We didn't mean to!" Finnie pleaded. I looked over at Sebastian who was holding the bridge of his nose looking frustrated. "Baldroy, Finnie. Clean this up please. Stop fucking everything up! You guys need to clean up your act." I said and they both gave me blank stares. I looked at Sebastian and he was giving me a stare as well. I rolled my eyes. "Just clean this up. When I come back out all these dead. plants better be gone. It's always fire with you people." I stated. I turned around to Sebastian who was hovering over me chuckling. "I guess he thought what I said was amusing. "Sorry (Your Name). We'll get right on it!" Finnie replied. I nodded and headed back to the manor with Sebastian following from behind.

When I walked in Ciel was standing there right in front of us. "Sebastian, I'm done here. I'd like to get started on today's work." Ciel said passing us making his way to the carriage. "Yes my lord." Sebastian replied then looked at me. "Are you ready to go?" He asked offering me his hand. I nodded in acceptance but I hesitated to take his hand but I did take it this time. He passed me a smile and walked me to the carriage and helped me in. The carriage started to move as soon as Ciel had knocked on the roof of the carriage with his fancy cane. "Another day of stress. I can't wait to finish." I thought.

- Later In Brixton -

When we arrived it seemed that we were at a public garden. "Why would anyone kill someone in a public garden? Wouldnt that attract attention?" I asked as we all exited the carriage. "It's actually quite a smart and bold move. If it's a public garden we are going to have a harder time finding out who our suspect is." Ciel explained. It made sense but  this was going to be harder then planned. I followed Ciel and Sebastian. We approached the crime scene but before we could get close enough to see the body Abberline appeared in front of us. "You guys can't be here. This area is--" He paused and his eyes widened. "Oh Ciel! I'm sorry. I apologize for my rudeness but I don't think you should get involved with this." Abberline stated. Ciel stood his ground. "I'm the queen's guard dog. It's my duty to know what's going on here. Sebastian, (Your Name), Let's go." We all passed Abberline as if he wasn't there. I couldn't help but feel bad but orders are orders.

We proceeded to go take a look at the body. When I had a glance at it I froze in place. The smell of it was horrid. I looked over at Ciel who was in front of me and he froze in place as well. "This must be the first time Ciel has ever seen anything like this. It seems that he's taking it alot worse than I am. I took a step closer to him and went down on one knee and put my hand on his shoulder. "Ciel, are you going to be alright?" He roughly shoved my hand off his shoulder. "Dont baby me im fine." I didn't know how to respond to that. He was no longer shaking from the sight of the dead woman on the ground. I stood back up and my glance went over to Sebastian who was right behind him. He didn't look to happy, I wasn't going to ask though. I walked over to the lifeless woman and kneeled down next to her. "It looks like her stomach was slashed at with a pocket knife just like mine. Her dress was all wrinkly." As I was lost in thought Sebastian Kneeled down next to me. "It seems that she was stabbed with a pocket knife judging by how deep and wide these wounds are. Pretty similar to your blue pocket knife. Do you have it on you by chance?" I nodded and slipped it out of my pocket and passed it over to him.  I watched him examine my knife and the wounds.

After watching him look at her wounds I started to examine myself. "Sebastian says it wasn't a human who did it which only leaves the possibilities of it being an angel, demon, or reaper but the deaths don't seem like they are coming from a demon because it's just regular stab wounds. The soul wasn't taken. Just by looking at her eyes I can tell that her soul wasn't taken but if the killer wasn't human then why would they take the time to stab someone?" The thoughts were swimming around my head. I was thinking of all the possibilities. I looked over to Sebastian who closed my knife and passed it back over to me. I looked back at Ciel who was just watching us examine the body then I looked back at Sebastian. "Hey Sebastian, if our culprit isn't human then why would our suspect take the time to stab the victim when they could just take the soul and leave nothing behind?" I asked. "That, I'm not for sure but by examining this if you take a step back and look at the hole scene, you notice that there isn't any blood splatter any where. It's as if the culprit wanted to take the time to clean up the mess they made. A human wouldn't do that and if they were I don't think it's logically possible for them to do it when there is people around. Which brings me to think our culprit isn't human." He was right. I stood up an took a few steps back and there wasn't blood anywhere. There wasn't even blood around her wounds. It was as if someone purposely cleaned up all the blood shed. There was literally no evidence left behind. "Sebastian I don't think there is anything to be found here. There isn't finger prints, traces of tracks, nor is there any spec of evidence. Who ever did this did one hell of a job." I stated. "Yes you're quite right. They did a marvelous job but, they didn't get rid of everything." Ciel straitened up his posture and approached Sebastian. "What is it Sebastian?" Ciel spoke up. "They seemed to have left a strand of hair behind." Sebastian held out the piece of hair out to Ciel. "Keep on to that Sebastian. When we get back to the manor I'll give you your orders." Ciel started walking towards the carriage. "Very good my lord." Sebastian replied. I followed them from behind and entered the carriage. "I didn't get to see the strand of hair but I almost feel like I don't want to know." I took a deep breathe in and stared out the window hoping that this would all be over soon.
