"Come now young master, visiting the city can't be all that bad." Scarlett said as she and Sebastian entered the house. "I hate this; there are too many people in London." Ciel said as they climbed the tall stairs leading to the top floor. "But young master we must, for it is the visiting season and last year you did not participate, so you have to. Getting away from the manor could prove to be a nice change of pace; after all we can finally get away from those 4." Sebastian said as they finally made it to the top of the stairs. "Yes, but still it is a pain to come here." Ciel then made his way to the door of the study. Their expression then turned blank at the sight of Madam Red, Lau, and Grell searching for tea. "Why are you all here?" Ciel said as he looked them all over, surprised by their very presence. "Well you're early dear. Your sudden appearance in town can mean only one thing; the queen's guard dog must have a new scent to follow." Madam Red then stepped over to another spot to another spot where she continued to look for tea. "I swear, what kind of household does not have tea." She said to herself. "Well young master I do believe I'll go brew some tea." Scarlett said as she backed out of the room. "Scarlett, if cannot already see, we do not have any tea." Ciel said as his palm rose to his face. "Not to worry sir, I have tea," Scarlett said as her hand slid into her pocket and pulled out several small packets filled with tea leaves. Scarlett then displayed a giddy expression as she held up the tea packets. Everyone was slightly surprised, but never the less, happy there was tea. "Yes young master, I am afraid she fills her pockets with tea packets where ever she goes." Sebastian said as Scarlett skipped down the hall towards the kitchen to brew some tea. "I am not even going to ask why. Sebastian just go and make sure she does not do anything stupid." Ciel then dismissed Sebastian.
"The blue birds are humming, the war drums are drumming, and off they go dashing. Towards war they head, all to be dead, without reckoning. Forever they rest in the cold ground, never to be found. I walk among them and a sweet tune I hum to them. La, la la la, la laa..." Scarlett sang to herself as she moved about the kitchen, brewing tea and trying to bake a cake. She then blindly twirled around the counter, only to be faced with a wall of black. "Singing are we?" Sebastian said as Scarlett backed away and twirled towards the ice box, where the milk was kept. "I was just humming a tune I learned when I went to America during the war times. It was a hymn that the women in the south would sing often. I suppose it somehow got stuck in my memory." Scarlett said as she poured the milk into the cake batter and stirred. Sebastian then took off his tail coat and rolled up his sleeves. Scarlett moved away from the cake batter and checked on the tea, which had come to a boil. Sebastian then took the bowl and began to stir it vigorously. "The tea seems to be done." Scarlett said as she stirred it and took a whiff of its sweet aroma. "Now tell me Sebastian, why is the young master trying to hide the fact that we are here because of the recent murders that have been committed?" Scarlett then made her way to the cupboard and pulled out the sugar. "Because Ciel does not like for you to get involved in the business he attends to for the queen. I had to convince him to let you come with us." Sebastian said as he took the sugar from Scarlett's hand. "Why did you want me to come along anyways?" Sebastian only smirked at her question and said, "Have you ever considered the thought that I might like your company." Scarlett hated when Sebastian got like this. It made Scarlett anxious and nervous when Sebastian never said what he really meant.
"We are Scotland Yard, we do not need you, your butler's, or your maid's help, we can take care of this without your help." Ciel smirked up at the man and said, "Splendid then, let us take our leave of this retched place." Scarlett then bowed and answered, "Certainly." They all walked through the parted crowd with little resistance, for their peculiarities struck fear in the peasants that had gathered. "What a strange boy, and what strange servants. Their wickedness seems to almost radiate off of them, all of them except that maid."
"His information narrows down our suspects." Ciel solemnly commented. "First of all we look at those with the necessary skill set, and then we cross out everyone with an alibi. The removal of the organs suggests some kind of gruesome ritual. We should concentrate our investigation on people who are in some kind of secret societies." Madam red then interrupted, "AS if that narrows down the field, why even I would have the skills necessary for this. The season is about over and soon all the doctors that have traveled to the city will be returning to the countryside." Sebastian then in turn answered, "Which is why we shall conclude this investigation quickly." Lau then murmured, "Impossible." Sebastian then covered the left side of his chest with his left hand and said, "Scarlett and I should at least be able to do this much at least, for what kind of servants would we be if we could not do this much." This left Madam Red and Lau practically speechless. "Scarlett and I will now make the suspects list, good bye." Sebastian said as he took Scarlett's hand and jumped out of the moving carriage, landing perfectly on his feet with Scarlett in his arms.
"Welcome home Master Ciel! We have finished the suspect list and brewed you all a fresh cup of tea. Is there anything else that you would like for us to do?" Scarlett said as she removed Ciel's coat and hat. "You can't possibly be finished already, and how did you get here so fast?" Madam Red asked with a bit of shock in her tone. "Well Sebastian and I are quite efficient when we get along. We also tracked down each one of the suspects, asked them the necessary questions, and narrowed the list down to one possible suspect." Scarlett said in a giddy tone. "Yes indeed, we have narrowed the list down to the Viscount Druitt. " Sebastian said as a look of complete and total disbelief covered both Madam Red and Lau's face.
"He graduated medical school, but never went into practice. Lately e has thrown several parties at his home, but behind the scenes he has secret gatherings with only his most intimates." Sebastian said as he pushed his glasses up. "I've heard these are secret occult gatherings." Madam Red commented. "So your suspicion is that he is throwing these parties to perform ritualistic sacrifices on local prostitutes?" Lau asked as the carriage finally came to a halt at the front drive of the Viscount Druitt's house. "Tonight is the last party of the season, which means this is our last chance." Ciel said as he stepped out of the carriage in a dress.
"Ciel will be my niece, visiting from the country, Sebastian will be her tutor, and Scarlett will be Sebastian's wife and Ciel's servant." Madam Red said as Ciel exclaimed, "Why must I be your niece!" Madam Red then giddily answered, "Because I always wanted a girl." Scarlett then calmly added, "And you said you would go to any lengths necessary to capture Jack the ripper. But what I don't understand is why I must be Sebastian's wife?" Sebastian then hooked his arm around Scarlett's waste and said, "Because my dear, we did not want to cast in a role too different from your real self, for you are a maid, not an actress." Scarlett knew this was untrue, for when she lived in America she used to perform in small plays and theaters. Scarlett also knew that Sebastian did this just to make her a bit maddened, for he liked to see her mad. "Come now my dear, let us dance." Sebastian said as he took Scarlett in his arms and led her to the middle of the ball room. "What are you doing, we are here to help the young master catch Jack the ripper, not to dance like fools." Scarlett said as she struggled to escape Sebastian's tight grasp. "We are helping Ciel." Sebastian said as he looked down at the silver haired demon before him. "How?" Scarlett demanded. "By staying out of his way. If we crowded him it would look suspicious. Now at least try to enjoy yourself, it's not often that Ciel releases you from your tight leash." Sebastian said as they spun round and into the middle. "What good dancers they are, I wonder who they are." came a familiar voice that put Sebastian and Scarlett in pure disbelief. Scarlett turned her head to face Elizabeth. She then whispered to Sebastian, "What are we to do?" Sebastian only gave a smirk and said, "Be the main attraction, to divert the eyes is much easier than blinding them." Scarlett was in a state of confusion, for she had no idea what Sebastian was about to do. Sebastian then wound his arms around Scarlett and with a push, released her, sending her into a full blown spin. This maneuver managed to clear the space surrounding Sebastian and Scarlett, and make all eyes be on the both of them, rather the ever so beautiful Ciel. Scarlett spun around until she found herself back in Sebastian's arms. He then whispered, "Now dance my Irish bell," as he slid a mask onto Scarlett's face, and then his own. He then let her go and held her by the hand tightly. The musicians saw what was about to happen and so they picked up the pace to match the Irish jig Sebastian and Scarlett were about to dance. Scarlett held onto Sebastian's hand tighter than she would like to admit as she let her feet tap lightly on the ground. Sebastian then did the same as Scarlett inventively watched. When Sebastian was done Scarlett let go of his hand and took her crimson ball gown in hand and lifted it to reveal her marvelous foot work. Sebastian and Scarlett then locked themselves in a spin while at the same time continuing the Irish jig that they had preformed perfectly. Suddenly they stopped and bowed their heads to the now roaring crowd. "I didn't know they could dance like that." Madam Red stated as she watched Sebastian and Scarlett walk away from the center of the room.
"Sebastian stop, you're hurting him." Scarlett said as she watched Sebastian tighten Ciel's corset. "My goodness Scarlett, you baby the boy as if he were a toddler. A corset has never killed anybody." Sebastian said as he tightened the corset yet again. "Sebastian you're going to kill me. I can feel my insides burst within me." Ciel managed to say. "Sebastian, you're making his insides burst within him, you must stop." Scarlett said as she looked down upon Ciel who clung to the bed post for dear life. "Why must you baby the boy so?" Sebastian mumbled.
"Sebastian, come get me now." Ciel said as the room became dark. When the room was finally illuminated once again all that remained of the great crowd of people were their unconscious bodies on the floor. The Viscount Druitt lay on the floor, unconscious. "Really sir, are you good for nothing but getting yourself captured?" Sebastian asked in his ever so teasing tone. "My lord, are you unharmed?" Scarlett said as she hurried to her master's side. Sebastian bent the iron bars of the cage as if they were nothing, and Scarlett went in and instantly scooped her young master into her arms. She then stood him on his feet and tore his bindings. "We have captured Jack the ripper; no doubt Scotland Yard will be here to claim our victory, but never the less my lord, we have captured him." Scarlett said giddily. Sebastian then scooped Ciel into his arms and they were off.
