Ah the Phantomhive manor, one of the most biggest estates known in the country. It held many expensive items and furniture, with perfect gardens and dust-free corners. Yet this wasn't the only thing well-known about the manor. It was home to none other than Ciel Phantomhive, the young earl of Phantomhive and the successor of the family business Funtom.
Not only was the business booming because of it's clever and child-like toys, but also because it had a tendency to knock all the other toy companies out of the park. Whether it be fair ways or not, it really didn't matter as long as Funtom was always at the top.
And who may you ask is this because? Well of course it was thanks to the young boy in the limelight of it all. On first sight he looked like a naïve child, yet once you first talked to him you would notice that it seemed to be more of a mature man trapped in a childish body.
But looks hardly mattered if you had a company as big and as ferocious as Funtom. Today, we'll be taking a small trip to watch what the owner of Funtom does best.
And no, it's not making toys.
The carriage came to a halt in front of a concrete building, decorated with big blue stripes stretching across the middle. The glass doors were one-sided, so you couldn't see what was inside of the mysterious building. Yet the white sign hung at the front gave it away.
New England UW Police, or the EUWP for short. Yes, this building was crawling with law officers, and detectives alike. And now, it also contained a demon and young earl.
The door made a loud sound as it was opened by the man wearing a black hat, and as a boy with a cane walked in, all heads turned towards them. There was a thought that hit everyone in the room that moment was very alike, and it was;
Why is there a child here?
Yet none of the adults realized that this child was the probably the most experienced and quick detective in the country. He wasted no time in bursting into the back room that was known as the head police-man's office. No one knew how to react except gape at the scene that had played out.
As Ciel walked into the small office, the man labeled 'head-chief' was sitting upright in his rolly computer chair. He sported dress pants and a rolled up button shirt, along with quite a big belly. The balding man took one look at the blunette, and a small smile came onto his face.
"Why hello, Detective Phantomhive. Greetings to you and your butler. I suppose you didn't stop by just to say hi though?"
Ciel came to stand in front of his desk. "I'm afraid you already know the reason why I'm here, Detective Maurney."
The boy showed no emotion as he leaned against his cane. "Let's get to it. Has your squadron actually done something themselves for once and come up with any leads?" A triumphant smirk barely grazed the younger's face as the detective sighed.
"Well, we came up with a list that had about three, yet once we checked into it, it didn't seem to add up for any of them." The chief already seemed to know what he meant by the words. He shuffled behind his desk for a minute, before pulling out a yellow file folder from a drawer. "The people are in here.. Check them if you'd like but there's really not much to look at." Detective Maurney leaned farther back into his chair once the folder was handed off to the butler, while lacing his fingers in front of himself.
The blue haired earl undid the string that held the folder together, and watched as the contents painted out in front of his eyes.
Anderson Perry
Jane Charleston
Peter Harper
The white pages were handwritten by Detective Maurney himself, which proved to be pretty sloppy and difficult cursive. Yet of course, the blunette could uncode the scribbled out words that the large hands had written.
The child's eyes didn't widen in surprise or show any emotion at all. They were faintly seen skimming over the information before they stopped once again and settled down on the detective half way across the room.
"That all for now?"
The blunette nodded stoutly, giving a quick answer with no words. The man in black seemed to take that as a cue to leave, and taking a step backwards, he opened the door for his master.
