New Scotland Yard, 8-10 Broadway, London SW1H 0BG, United Kingdom; the demonic duo made their way here, and then the blonde menace took a shower and got changed. As it was the only thing that was on hand, he was forced to wear a police uniform, with a white shirt and black tie, a hat with a checkered band around it and a vest. He seemed quite proud of it, from the way he trotted around the station in it. His clothes were currently in the trash, as they were tattered and bloodied beyond repair.
"So," he began. "How're things goin'?"
"Apparently, Miss Shelby did know someone named 'Verdigris' on her floor, but can't remember the room number." Answered the bluenette, pausing to do a double-take as Alois entered the room. His eye flickered to look the blonde up and down for a second before clearing his throat and continuing. "She said that they spoke regularly. They talked about her future and what she wanted to do. Before long, Shelby got incredibly stressed, and began thinking 'bad thoughts'."
"The demons' whisper…" murmered the menace, rubbing his chin. "Think it was used on Laverne?"
"It's possible. She seems to have calmed down a lot on arrival." Ciel stated. "It could be shock from the situation, though."
"Is it possible to tell if someone was under the influence of supernatural powers?"
"If there is, I don't know it." Spoke the watchdog. "Maybe Sebastian or Dafydd knows."
"Ew, I don't want to talk to Daffy."
"That's our options."
"Fine…" groaned the menace, taking a seat with folded arms. "So, what do you think Cerberus is really up to? They've gotta be stocking up on manpower for something."
"Agreed, but your guess is as good as mine."
With that, the door opened and Detective Bailey walked through with a stack of papers. He closed the door with his heel, kicking it shut as he made a beeline for the watchdog. When he looked up to see the menace in police garb, he frowned.
"You're wearing the hat and everything?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Well, I am a policeman, Mike. Besides, it completes the get-up." The menace stated, grabbing the visor of his hat between his index finger and thumb with a small nod. "Don't I look cute?"
"I'm not into that, Trancy." The human answered, wrinkling his nose. Ciel, on the other hand, nodded, mostly to himself, before taking the papers in the man's hands.
"This is a report of all of the evidence we found." Michael informed. "There's enough there to prove her guilty, but, we didn't find any traces of the other one."
"That's just as expected." The bluenette answered. "Good work, Bailey."
"Maybe one day, you'll be able to do your job by yourself." The blonde teased.
"Oh, shove it…" Detective Bailey replied, furrowing his brow at the menace. "If you need anything else, I'll give you a call."
"Likewise." Ciel stated. He then turned to the menace as their coworker left. "Ready to go?"
"Yup~!" answered the menace. "Where are we headed? Home? H.E.L.L.S.I.N.G?"
"I've already informed Sir Integra of the situation." Replied the watchdog. "She currently has H.E.L.L.S.I.N.G. agents searching the campus, and we'll know if they find anything soon. For now, we head home and try to figure out what exactly Cerberus is after."
"Sure you just don't want to get at me wearing a police uniform?" questioned the blonde with a wink, forcing the Phantomhive's face and neck to turn scarlet.
"Those are completely separate matters." He insisted, crossing his arms over his chest, but the menace wasn't convinced.
"Oh, so you do, then?" After a long pause, Alois' beau finally answered.
"Perhaps…"
"Perv."
"Terrorism first." Huffed the watchdog, putting his hands in his pockets. "We know that Cerberus was initially after me to 'entertain' them, but now you're a major player on the field since you foiled their attempts almost single-handedly."
"Revenge?" asked the menace. "Think they want me to 'play' too, then?"
"More than likely." The bluenette stated. "We just have to figure out how they're going to strike at us, now."
"Well, with H.E.L.L.S.I.N.G. at the school, they might've fled by now." Alois replied. "In fact, I'm almost sure that they did. They're witty. Unless, of course, they're trying to plan around the plan that we are planning around their plan. Then they would stay put."
"Given how 'clever' they think they are, that's actually possible..."
"In that case, they're probably hiding in some nook or cranny somewhere. It would be hard for a human to find them, since they don't have sixth sense."
"True. We should probably conduct our own search as well." Ciel suggested. "In between classes, we'll comb the campus."
"Ugh, that's gonna suck in the worst way…" complained the menace. "It's cold as balls outside…"
"Well, you have a police-grade coat now, so it shouldn't be that bad."
"How do you know? Have you ever worn one?"
"Once or twice."
"I would have killed to see that…"
"Now who's the 'perv'?" jabbed the bluenette. "We'll start tomorrow. Dress warm."
"Can I steal one of your coats?" asked the menace, to which his beau rolled an eye.
"You would, even if I said 'no', now wouldn't you?" he asked.
"Pretty much."
"As long as you leave me one, then." Ciel answered as he turned to walk out of the room, only to be followed by the menace as he put on his new coat. He was supposed to return it when he was done with it, but knowing Alois, that was unlikely.
The duo waltzed out of the building and went on their merry way, heading toward Phantomhive Manor. The trip was mostly silent, as it was difficult talking about murder with the cab driver listening in. Instead they talked about "ordinary" things, like TV dramas and what their friends were up to. Their challenge was not over, it would seem. Cerberus was a tricky animal to catch.
A/N: Short as fuck, but I said everything nessecary...
I'll updated again tonight. School starts up again tomorrow, and I have to pay more attention to it this time, so I'm probably going to be updating very slowly.
It sucks, but there it is... It's better than nothing at all, right?
I never was too good at the whole "student" thing...
Ah... Questions?
"Um,i don't understand something ,how does alois and ciel look like? I don't know how to imagine them,they still look like adolescents? Childrens? Young adults? Pd:i don't talk english,sorry for the errors" by Guest
You're good. I understood what you meant! Anyway, they look like young adults. Ciel is passing for a 20-year-old, while Alois is 19, so they're taller, and their faces are a bit more "masculine". Ciel is actually taller by like, two inches because he's a shape-shifting lil shit.
Until the next chapter, my duckies~!
