Dimensions Apart

Chapter 9: Little Sherlock Holmes

Third Person'sPOV

  Jonathan was thinking deeply. 'What was on the Queen's mind?' He thought about it over and over again. Trying to come up with possible answers but he unfortunately failed to do so.

  "Lord Jonathan, please proceed to the dining hall. Dinner will be prepared a moment from now." Sebastian entered Jonathan's room and told him to go down for dinner.

  He got off the bed and followed Sebastian as he gestured for him to be followed.

  When they arrived at the dining hall, Jonathan saw Ciel sitting at the far end of the table. He joined him and after a few minutes, Sebastian came in, served the food, and explained what is being served. Jonathan's servants stood a few feet away from the table along with the Phantomhive's servants.

  They ate dinner as quiet as they could, then both the young men went to Ciel's study and discussed about the important matters.

  "Can I see the papers?" Jonathan asked Ciel.

  Ciel looked at Jonathan with a pissed expression and gave him the papers about the case. Jonathan scanned it and returned it to Ciel saying, "We can both disguise as young ladies since we both have some similarities with these girls. We'll have to wear wigs if you don't mind Ciel."

  'Quite observant, aren't we?' Ciel silently said to himself.

  "I thought about that too. But why does both of us have to do it at the same time?" Ciel challenged Jonathan to answer him. He challenged Jonathan's intelligence.

  "So it would lure out the suspect and we can also find out at the same time if it is only 'one' suspect or if there are more of them." Jonathan replied without halting or stuttering.

  'He knows a lot about this. Is he experienced? Is this why the Queen asked both of us to work together? Or does the Queen doubt me?' A lot of questions run through Ciel's thoughts.

  "Oh... I see your point. When shall we begin in this game of ours?" Ciel asked while showing his famous smirk.

  "The Queen said as soon as possible but I will let you do the honors of choosing the time and place to lure the suspect out. If we make a mistake, it might lead to our death." Jonathan is serious about this. After all, its her Majesty comanding.

  Ciel was starting to enjoy the company of Jonathan. 'He may be an idiot at times but when it comes to things like this, he is serious. I'll give him a chance.'

  "How about this evening?" Ciel is testing Jonathan on how determined he really is when it comes to acting out the plan.

  "But we haven't yet planned out the details of what we are about to do. I mean what would we do if one of us got caught? And more importantly, how do we capture the suspect? We found a way to lure them out but not how to capture them." Jonathan just blurted it out.

  "Don't worry. I have my ways." Ciel assured Jonathan.

  "Fine. But I'll have my butler with me just in case."

  "Okay. Then is it settled?" Ciel tried to confirm before acting out.

  "First, we'll have to appear like we're poor and of course, as girls. We'll have to order our butlers to watch in our shadows." Ciel enumerated the plan and after that, Jonathan dashed out of the room to get dressed.
