"WHERE ARE THEY?" an extremely perturbed young lord shouted, his face flushed from anger-the emotion he had all the right to be feeling in his current condition.
You see, Ciel Phantomhive was in the midst of looking for his undoubtedly "loyal" and "trustworthy" staff members.

Unfortunately, said person had a quite awkward aura that screamed "HOOKERS AND OPIUM!"
"Ah, Lao. I'm not going to ask why you are currently within 500 meters of me, however, I could use your help."
"Of course" the man managed to get out through puffs of smoke and a sly grin.
"It seems that my employees have disappeared—an incident not noted in my orderly schedule. If you could give me any pointers as to their current position, I would greatly appreciate it."
"You need not ask twice. I believe that I have the answer you are searching for. When fellow companions are in need, they shall swoop down on the wings of butterflies and end the others troubles as if they were nothing but a dream."
"…"

"Ahem well…thank you now, their location please?"
"…..Whose location is that again?"
"DEAR LORD! IS THERE ANYONE IN THIS GODFORSAKEN EARTH (or otherwise) THAT KNOWS WHERE MY PEOPLE ARE?"
Suddenly, an all too familiar dark face with equally dark and disturbing pupils appeared in a secluded corner somewhere. He seemed to radiate death. Kami help those in his presence.
"I'll tell you where they're not…safe"CARRIAGE.
