The birth of a baby gives joy to a family but what if you were a product of a rape? In Victorian England, society believes the man who smiles innocently over the woman accusing and she left in an insane asylum for the rest of her life. A man in high rank could do anything he pleases for people respect and fear his wrath. A group of men sat in a room deliberating over recent killings
"Why call a meeting this late lord Phantomhive?" A male said as he stretched, it was his house and there were two other men who sat nearby him. His butler stood quietly, serving tea to the other men then he bowed and left the room.
"This serial killing rapist that's running around my streets, that's why. Rachel has recently given birth to my son Ciel… I want one less rat mocking about." A man sitting at the desk of the room said. He had dark raven hair with bangs that covered his eyes as he spoke.
"This seems to be quite a headache you've gotten yourself into lord phantomhive…" the other man said, he was in a corner fiddling with a chain he had. "Ihihihihi… you are going to work yourself to death."
"Have you found anything Lord Chamber?" the earl asked
"Nothing since what I told you this morning Vincent." Daniel Chamber, the duke of Mandalay, replied; he was freaked out by the man in the corner, "I'm telling you Vincent, you are getting too involved in the underground. Think about young lord Ciel or even your beloved Rachel, do you really want them in danger because of your hobby?"
"I serve my queen as you do Daniel, we both have a duty to god and country but we make England that much safer." Vincent was sure, putting everything into that he said in a calm demeanor.
"But at what cost? I will not marry because of this being my job… think of your son Vincent; do you really want him raised without a father?"
"Do you question my skill as a guard dog?"
"No, I do not doubt that you are the best out there… it's just, shouldn't we leave this one to Scotland Yard?" Daniel said as his best friend sighed as he rested his head on his hands; staying silent for a few moments.
" Let's review the evidence shall we?"
"Right…" Daniel said, taking his eyes off the man in the corner as he started to read some of his notes he had," The victims were female, mostly single women except for a few causalities, mainly that there were mothers and daughters that were raped. Some victims were male but only lord trancy, Dr. William Palmer and the husbands of the twins found on Fleet Street." He shuffled through his notes then he continued to read,
" The lady Trancy was found dead along with her husband… their two sons and their pregnant daughter were unharmed. Scotland Yard interviewed the son of the daughter's husband, my brother Tristan, the viscount of Druitt but his alibi has cleared him of each murder up to the interview date… What I don't understand is why his main targets are women and young girls that are virgins."
"Perhaps, Lord Chamber, he is looking for a mate… the wife isn't pleasing enough and wants something that talks a little less; after all, a fresh corpse still has the warmth of the living." 'I prefer a corpse over something living myself' the man chuckled, Vincent wasn't fazed by it but Daniel gulped.
"The undertaker has a point," Vincent noted as he started to write something down will a quill from the desk, "Still, why rape the daughter along with the mothers... That seems to be a control issue. He must feel inferior with his pair and takes it out on the victims who can barely defend themselves."
"There by getting some sick thrill off the screaming women, but he doesn't stop there... He must also get a thrill within murdering them as well but there are no puncture wounds on them." Daniel added as he looked over at his best friend," and the husbands are unneeded witnesses to the crimes he commits."
"Exactly," Vincent smiled; it seemed like an innocent smile but behind it stood an amused intention. "Mothers would do anything to protect their children… even give themselves to the most dangerous threat, not knowing their daughter's fate is the same as theirs."
"Vincent, do you think that his intentions could be more than just getting off? What if he were aiming to have a child or even many children?" Daniel questioned the evidence; perhaps this was the act of polygamy and nothing more than seeking an heir.
"Indeed." Vincent calmly stood up and walked over to the coat stand where the duke's butler handed him his coat," This was in no means an act of a human. With how many rapes are reported per night, you would have to be immortal or worse not of this world in order to commit it." Vincent cradled his child as his free hand put on his hat, "So let's smoke him out then."
