Chapter 17~
-
Elena held tightly to the fur on Pluto's back as he ran in circles outside, Drocell watching from a bench on the side. Sebastian walked outside, putting his hand up and effectively stopping Pluto. This caused Elena to fly off of his back, Sebastian catching her. He smiled and said,"Both me and the young master would appreciate it if you would stop."
Elena nodded, and Sebastian threw her down, bowing before walking off. She whispered,"Man, butlers are scary..." Her three companions nodded in agreement.
Walking up behind the Arthur Randall, Elena(dress) calmly leaned over and said,"Oh yes, a robbery by foreigners! That's always it huh?" She rolled her eyes and jumped back, landing next to Sebastian. Ciel (In his cute whittle trench coat) identified the man as John Stanley, and gave an info packet to the policemen.
Eying the packet, Arthur asked,"What do you want?" Ciel sighed and asked him,"I wanted to know if you have any of the belongings found on the body." Fred shook his head,"The body had nothing on it." Ciel signaled for Sebastian and Elena to leave with him, as they walked off, Arthur said,"Why would her majesty trust a brat like him?" Elena showed up behind him and said,"Because he's smarter than you!"
While in the carriage, Sebastian commented,"What's wrong? You seem more cynical then usual." Elena snickered as Ciel sighed. "Who could at a time like this?" Sebastian smirked,"You're just being modest. I think you look fine." Elena smiled," Yeah your outfit is absolutely amazing!" She put emphasis on the word amazing,"You look like a big boy in your big hat~"
Ciel ignored her comments," I'm just frustrated because we don't have enough information.." Elena started to hum the 'You cant always get what you want song' while Ciel thought to himself.
~Flash-Back~
Ciel, Ash, and Elena sat at the table as Ash talked. "A mans body was found at Regent's Canal Dock this morning. HIs name was John Stanley, an he was in the merchant ship business." Ciel asked,"And?" Ash continued after sipping his tea,"He was operating in the underworld on secret orders as well, just like you Ciel."
Putting his hand out, he handed Ciel a letter,"Her Majesty bids me to tell you,"I'd like you to find something carried by this person and destroy it." Ciel questioned,"Not find the killer?" Ash answered,"Correct. The Queen desires you to despose of his belongings. That is all."
"And? What is this object?" Ciel asked, taking the letter. Ash just smiled,"That's a secret." Ciel snorted,"Then there's no way to find it." Everyone was interrupted by Ash slamming his fork down, and Elena (Who was being quiet for once) stiffened. Ash smiled as a creepy aura covered him,"It's something Her Majesty hesitates to discuss even with you, the loyal dog who she trusts above all others."
Sebastian blankly stared as Elena sat still, cake 2 millimeters from her face. Ash picked up his piece of cake and smiled,"Make sure curiosity doesn't drive you to examine it's contents." Elena shivered,'Dudes seriously bi-polar...'
~Back to the present~
Ciel spoke,"The first thing we need is a better view on the situation." Sebastian asked,"Meaning?" Elena tilted her head,"You mean find out why he was killed?" Ciel nodded and Sebastian asked,"So what do we do about finding witnesses?" Ciel sighed,"Leave it to the Yard. The best people to ask about Rome are Romans."
Elena asked,"Grandpa Rome? He's a witness?" Ciel shook his head and ignored her.
~At Lau's Hide-out~
Elena held her nose as they walked in,"It smells like death farted in here..." They continued to walk until they saw Lau sitting down.
"It seems you finally found this place, my lord. It's strange that we should face each other like this. But you know, I rather though this day might come." Ciel became angry and said,"What day?!" Lau laughed and said,"Welcome my lord! Longtime no see!" Elena waved to the women and Ran-Mau, who walked up to her and hugged her.
Ciel ignored them and said,"I'm not interested Lau. I have a question for you though." Lau answered,"You're so impatient . You coming all the way to a den like this to see me can only mean...one thing" Ciel relaxed a bit,"So you know, just what I'd expect from-" He was cut off by Elena stumbling past him,"I feel free~ I wanna swim~!(A cookie to those who get the reference!)" He sighed and said,"Is there anywhere else we can go? I think the fumes are getting to her..."
Lau nodded and started to walk off, mumbling something about Butterflies and Zhang Zhao. Sebastian carried a looney Elena out of the room.
~Upstairs~
Elena finally calmed down as Lau started to talk,"Well, nowadays all the gang fights in this area have been over drugs. Recently someone's been spreading a new product around. Frankly it's an inconvenience to me as well." Ciel asked,"A new product?" Lau nodded,"Everyone says it's cheaper, lighter, an more effective than opium. It's know as "Lady Blanc." Ciel thought, "A white woman?" A breif image of Angela popped through his mind.
Elena chuckled to herself,'Maybe a side-effect is becoming pale! That's such a weird drug...Now that I think about it a lot of drugs have weird names..' She started to count to her self as the conversation continued.
Lau asked,"What was the name of the man who they found?" Sebastian spoke,"John Stanley, though that's most likely an alias." Lau hummed," He doesn't look familiar. I believe I'd recognize about any drug dealer around, but...What about you Ran-Mau?" He held the picture up to her and she shook her head no. "There you have it."
Ciel crossed his arms ,"I'm looking for something he was supposed to have on him." Elena started to walk in circles as boredom got to her, she pulled her phone out of her pocket and sat next to Ciel. She pulled up Jet-pack Joyride and started to play, Sebastian watched her play over her shoulder.
When it came time to leave Ciel turned around, only to see Elena watching Sebastian play. "Whoa! You're at 10,000 meters!, I think it's a high score!" Ciel growled at both of them,"Stop messing around!" Both turned off the phone and followed Ciel.
~With Drocell and the other servants~
Drocell walked into the store along with Mey-Rin and Finny to get supplies. He was a little hurt that he didn't get to go with Elena, but he didn't really understand what hurt was so it didn't bother him too much (Ah, the amazingly weird thoughts of an emotionless person). He listened as the cashier woman asked the red haired woman for something.
He thought to himself, 'I should tell Elena about this is would make her happy, digging into others business seems to be a hobby..' So he calmly recorded everything that happened.
~At the Mansion~
Elena sighed as they sat down, listening to Ciel troubles with little interest. She slyly pulled out her phone and started to play again, Sebastian leaned over slightly so he could see. Ciel snapped,"Stop it with whatever you're doing! At least try to help!" She stood up and looked at Ciel,"At least I don't sit there like a rich fat man with nothing to do! Oh look at me I'm Ciel and all I ever do is boss people around!"
At this point she was yelling an her voice was at high pitch,"Well guess what the world doesn't belong to you!" She huffed and walked out the door, running into Finny. She got up to see Pluto sniffing Mey-Rin, who was screaming on the ground. Elena smiled and said,"Plu-Plu~ Get off of her please."
Pluto grabbed something out of her pocket and handed it to Elena. She opened her palm to see a candy,"Candy? Are you hungry or something, here." She unwrapped the candy and was about to hand it to Pluto when Tanaka stopped her.
Tanaka inspected the candy and turned to Ciel,"My lord, this sweet was not produced by our company." Ciel looked up,"What?" Tanaka allowed everyone to see,"This wrapper is genuine, but our quality control is not so lax as to ship something so unshapely." He picked it up and tasted it, only to poof into his small form.
Elena asked,"Well what was it?" Sebastian picked it up and tasted it,"It's a narcotic. I believe it's a form of morphine, derived from the opium poppy and then even further refined. It's probably the new drug Lau was talking about."
~Later~
Elena sat back and listened to Drocell talk about what he saw on his day out. Elena smiled and said,"Did you enjoy your day?" The doll pondered for a second, and Elena sighed,"You'll get it eventually..." Pluto burst into the room, barking up a storm. Elena was extremely surprised to see a ton of police chasing him,"W-what do you want?!"
The head man yelled,"We have been ordered to detain you and your accomplices under the suspicion of drug dealing and murder with Earl Phantomhive!" Elena went into full panic mode as they cuffed her and Drocell, and they put a leash on Pluto. They dragged them off and took the trio to a detainment room.
After a while she was taken to a room where Abberline was, and sitting next to him was Ciel. She ran after Ciel and shook him around with tears in her eyes. "You! I should have known you were crazy! Now I'm in jail while they hurt Pluto, dismantle Drocell and poke Sebastian with hot rods! What's wrong with you!"
Abberline tried to stop her, but she was in full panic as she started to hyper ventilate and walk back and forth. Abberline said,"Do not worry, were only ordered to confine you, not hurt you."
