Alright, so I realized that the last chapter wasn't my greatest work, but I lack of time. I watched a bit of the anime before writing this, and now I'm pumped to write again. So with that said, Carrie on and enjoy ^^


(Still in Ciel's pov)

Relaxed a bit as he left my study.

In only a few minutes I would be seeing that girl who just moved in. She's definitely an interesting character.

But I'm not looking for interesting. I'm looking for someone to aid me in my work.

Sort of a third wheel partner. An extra brain in the bunch.

Let's just hope that the rumors are true.

You see, rumors have it that she's supposed to be some alternative genius.

We'll see about that.

After a few minutes, my door was knocked on. I opened my resting eyes and removed my hand away from my face. "Come in," I said looking over some of my work that I needed to finish.

The girl walked in first and behind her came her nanny. After her, then Sebastian.

"You called Ciel?" She asked me holding her hands together.

I nodded. I wonder how she would handle the news this time. Last time I even mentioned that we would have to work on the case, she acted quite peculiar.

"We have gotten a call. It seems you'll be accompanying me in a case. There has seemed to be a serial murderer attacking only the rich. So far, only two people have been found, and were reported dead. The off part about this, was that they were dead, for so long, that their body's had began to decay even so they were only found yesterday. The queen has sensed an inability of the Scotland yard and called our name," I said staring at my ring on my thumb that contained a blue diamond.

Lumiere tensed as she heard this as if it had shocked her.

I hope she won't act like this the entire time I work with her.

"So with that, please get ready. We must start our investigation as soon as possible," I finished.

She nodded and bowed. Walking out she had gripped onto her nanny, walking sort of dizzily.

I shook my head as soon as she left.

"This is certainly going to be a handful."

"That was quite interesting behavior she had presented, wasn't it my young lord?" Sebastian said with a smirk on his face.

"Yes. It was. It makes me wonder if she will be physiologically prepared to deal with these things. Unlike myself, she was held under brutal circumstances for quite some time before she was found, a year later," I agreed as I stood up from my seat.

Sebastian nodded as we left my study and into my dressing room, where I would change into outdoor wear.


After I had finished dressing, and made my way down the steps of my main room area, I had found that Lumiere had already been waiting by the door of the main entrance.

Without saying a word, we left the manor and entered a carriage that Sebastian had prepared.

He drove us to a crowded area that had Scotland yard holding back the crowds of people trying to get a good look at the rotting people. Sickening really that people wanted to see these things.

We stepped out of the carriage and walked over to two people reviewing the evidence.

"I swear, if that bloody Mutt decides to show his face around here-" I interrupted a man obviously ranting about how I always showed up during a crime like this.

I took the papers out of his hands and read it over. "Ah, I see that it was possible of a group murdering," I said handing the papers over to Lumiere who was acting quite strange as usual.

After reviewing the papers she smiled slightly and reviled a side of her I hadn't seen yet.

"If that was so, we would need to trace down different facts. Any person within a five town radius should be checked and then checked of their assurance of their alibi. We don't want to take their word on it exactly, but we don't want to spend too much time on this. That should narrow down the list quite dramatically. Even so we would need a leading point after that…"

Her words trailed off as she placed a hand on her chin and handed the papers to the member of the yard.

The man looked at us in awe. "We the Scotland yard, do not need help from you children! We can manage just fine you know!" He called out as a vein popped out in anger.

I smirked as I pulled out a paper signed of the queen.

He wasn't traditionally happy, but what position was he in to neglect an official letter from the fucking queen of England?

In the end, he let us in as Lumiere excitedly ran to the dead corpse. It sort of reminded her if not only for a moment, of undertaker.

I stared at her for a little bit as she looked at each part of the body until she found what she was looking for.

After she had done so, her exited face melted away.

She walked up to me with her hands behind her back not wanting to show her hands that just invaded a dead corpse.

She then simply said closing her eyes, "Cause of death, suffocation, second gesture, slit throat. It seems the flattened wind pipe suggests that the victim was first suffocated. It would not make sense if people would try to choke someone who had a cut pipe. It is likely they had done so to make sure of their death. I found this in one of the victim's throat."

She removed her hand from behind her holding out a piece of paper.

It was packed full of numbers and letters in a random order. "I do believe it is some sort of coding. It could possibly be solved with ease. Please allow me to solve it, it would not take long," She finished saying.

I looked at her in shock. Now I understand what the rumors meant.

I'll allow her a chance. I'll see her capabilities.

I turned to Sebastian and he lowered down to my level. I whispered in his ear, not taking my eyes off of Lumiere.

"Verify all the information she gives out after we return. I would trust a bit more if you said it yourself that, what she said has happened," I said simply.

"Why of course, my lord," he replied.

"Alright, fine. But don't take too long. We have a lot of work ahead of-" I was then interrupted by her.

"My apologies, but I have gotten the answer already while I was waiting for your reply," she said playing with the paper in her hand.

My mouth gapped open in shocked that she had already solved it. I only talked to Sebastian for a few seconds. How did she manage to answer it already?

Either she's some sort of super human, or I spent a really long time speaking to Sebastian.

"W-well then say the translation if you may," I stuttered after the news of the solved code.

She nodded and said," It's numbers are ordered in French, each letter resembling another number in the alphabet you see, after sinking that I it reads 'la société qui a des nuages à couvrir le soleil' which means the corporation that brought clouds to cover the sun. Its initials are left with only two letters. Bb" She then said shocking us all except Laura who was amused.

"Wait just a second, how can you be so sure? You can't just look at a piece of paper and blurt something like this out so simply!" I yelled, still stunned.

"Well you see, I've had a year of experience with handling evidence," she said placing a ralxed finger on the lower part of her lip.

I didn't question much about it, although I did have many questions about it.

After we had made it home, she went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

Figures, I wouldn't want blood on my hands either.


Alright, so here's the next chapter :D I apologize about the last chapter not being so great, but I made sure to spend more time on this one. After a long day, I wanted to wine down righting this, for my daily update. I hope you enjoyed reading this one as much as I enjoyed writing it.

If you have any suggestions don't hesitate to review. I'm always glad to read them. They really make my day. Love you all and see you next time ^^

I might just update again today because I'm excited for the next chapter as well. :3
