It was a dark and rainy morning; the grey clouds covered the shining sun and the blue sky causing the mood at the Phantomhive Manor to become quite gloomy. The young earl, Ciel Phantomhive, was in his office sorting through the paperwork on his desk from the Funtom Toy Company. Ciel's loyal butler, Sebastian Michaelis, entered the office with the morning tea of earl grey. As the dark butler served him the tea, Ciel noticed the newspaper he didn't care to read earlier. He dank his tea slowly and read it, the article was on a thief.
PHANTOM THIEF STRIKES AGAIN.
The police are baffled as a bank is robbed as well as a few nearby stores. Even Samuel Jones, a worker at the bakery, was shocked even though he was in the store when the robbery happened. Jones states that he saw the thief and he described them as tall, dark, and had an evil smile that "chilled his bones"
Ciel stopped for a minute, and then he continued reading.
No one knows where this person could be; the Scotland Yard has been on this case for weeks and is close to finding this masked criminal.
Ciel put the paper down with a sigh and looked at his butler, he was tall, a dark man indeed, and his smile does scare some… With Ciel's luck, everyone will believe Sebastian is the thief. The last thing he needed was the Scotland Yard on his tail, not knowing what they are doing. This wasn't that interesting, a thief, but for all he knew it could have been serious.
"Is something wrong my lord?" Sebastian asked in his smooth voice. Ciel looked as the butler in black and let out another sigh. "Recently there has been a thief. One of the eye witnesses described them as tall, dark, and had a frightening smile. The last thing I want is the Scotland Yard to think this thief is you." Ciel answered. He could care less about this "Phantom Thief" but it bothered him how no one could catch them, and how this person committed crimes like this in one night. 'Does it really matter?" he asked to himself, "I have gotten no word from the queen and it would be best to keep our noses out of it…". Just as Ciel decided it didn't matter, there was a large crash. Sebastian had a look knowing what that crash was, and he was not pleased by it. "I'll go see what it was my lord." He sighed, and with a bow he exited the room.
