Chapter Seven:
After Undertaker had calmed, everyone sat down again. I leaned on the counter. Ciel sat on a coffin with Madam Red next to him. Their butlers stood behind then, Sebastian a little straighter than Grell. The Chinese man leaned on the wall, his hands in the sleeves of his robe.
"Let's see, where should I begin? Well, my recent guests have been missing an important body part." Undertaker began, hugging a diorama of the top part of the body to his chest. "The uterus is missing,"
Sebastian spoke. "But the road that the bodies were found on were public. How is it that one able to accomplish something like this?"
"You're a smart one butler. It is clear that someone with quite the experience is responsible. But then again, you must've been able to figure that out." Undertaker gently set the doll on the floor and appeared behind me. He was leaned over, resting his hands on both sides of me.
"First, he slits the girl's throat," he said, dragging his fingers on my throat. Everybody sent looks of sympathy my way. "Then, he takes the precious womanly part." his other hand that wasn't on my throat traveled down to my waist, making me tense up, blushing a deep red.
Undertaker ignored my blush, and continued, though he moved both hands to my shoulders and rested his cheek on my head.
"Frankly, he's made me very busy. But, the way he operates has earned him his nickname."
Ciel grimaced. "Jack-the-Ripper," he whispered. I refrained from gasping as I realized why the lady was so familiar. Her butler might be that red-headed fellow as well.
Undertaker nodded. "And you know just as well that they won't stop until someone makes them." Undertaker straightened and removed his hands from my person. "Will you be able to stop him?"
Ciel stood, as well as his aunt. "The world of darkness has the world of darkness's rules. He wouldn't just murder women without a certain influence motivating him from behind. I won't be frightened. I will solve all the cases that plague the Queen, no matter what." he moved towards the door. "I apologize for intruding, Undertaker. Sebastian."
Sebastian bowed to the both of us and opened the door, letting everyone leave before he shut the door behind him.
The weirdness in my chest lifted and the shop was silent.
"So," Undertaker's voice made me jump slightly. "What have you figured out?"
"Well, I know that Madam Red was part of Jack-the-Ripper. I believe Grell had a hand in it as well. I could sense him as familiar. And that butler, Sebastian, there's something off about him."
"Yes. You are catching up, dear." He giggled. "Now, there's another matter we must attend to." He shuffled off in the direction of the closet. As he opened it, I braced myself for the avalanche of clothes. There were none.
He picked out two pieces of clothing, along with some shoes.
'I wonder where he gets these clothing,' I thought. 'I hope they didn't come from his so-called "guests".'
He handed them to me and I held the clothing out in front of me to see what they were.
It was a dark blue short-sleeved blouse with ruffles around the chest, and a dark purple skirt. The shoes were black flats.
"What are these for?" I asked.
"We are going to a party tonight." he giggled.
