Be careful of possible bloody scenes.

In the study room...
"So, Alfred, do you get any good information about the case?" Arthur asked the young man with glasses, who was eating a hamburger which he got from who-knows-where.
"Hmm? No... (mumble), I hon't, (mumble), yhink sho (mumble)..."
"Stop talking while eating! You know it's bad for your health!"
"Fine, fine! I'll stop eating if that helps you understand..."
Alfred put the pile of hamburgers away. Then, Arthur started to talk to him.
"So, what did you get?"
"I said that I don't think so, right?"
"Don't tell me that you went off eating hamburgers while investigating..."
"Something wrong with that?"
"I wish you were still like when you were little... Sometimes I wish that we didn't get involved in that Revolutionary War..."
"You say something?"
"No, nothing..."
The argument between the two didn't show any sign of stopping...
"It doesn't really matter. We have enough information to go on. If the culprit targets young people, we just need to have a bait. I read the letter again, and it seems that most of the kidnapping times are at night." Ciel said towards Arthur and Alfred.
"Are you sure it's enough? All we have are the information on the victims that they are all young people, mostly at night, and the victims died without a cause." Arthur asked Ciel in return.
"Young Master, could it be that a demon wandering around and stole the souls of the victims? If so, then it's natural that the victims died without a detectable cause."
"Whatever it is, if there are problems with souls, they'll surely move."
Arthur looked confused by the word 'they', while Alfred didn't show any sign of understanding the situation.
After that conversation, a silence brewed in the air. Suddenly Alfred talked out of nowhere. "Oh, yeah, I heard something from the police when stalking the scene."
Ciel, Sebastian, and Arthur looked at Alfred as he spoke. "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I forget about it! Gimme a break!"
"Just tell us already." Ciel responded to Alfred's statement.
"They said that a shadow appeared at one of the scenes."
"Isn't that you?" Arthur asked Alfred, with a sweat-drop.
"It's not! They also said that the shadow had something long and steel with him."
"Long and steel? What's that?"
"Don't know."
Ciel sighed a bit. "Sebastian, we'll depart to other town. Prepare the carriage."
"I understand."
"Why do you need to go again?" Arthur asked Ciel, curiously.
"If Yard can't help, we need to collect information from other police."
Sebastian prepared another carriage to depart to another town near London. When they arrived, the quartet went to find a policeman to ask about the case. While Ciel and Sebastian busy asking, Arthur and Alfred talked with each other. They whispered so the other two wouldn't hear them.
"So, America, where did you hear about the shadow?"
"Hmm? I forget. (slurp slurp) I'm still the hero, anyway." America was busy drinking a cola, which he might have brought from his homeland.
Arthur sighed. He looked as if he saw no hope in Alfred, as the latter looked at him in a confused look, unable to read the atmosphere.
Back to the Earl...
"So, I would like to have more info about the missing people."
"We don't have much information about it, and it's not something for citizens to know."
"I'm not just an ordinary citizen, you know." Ciel waved the Queen's letter.
"The letter with the Queen's seal... Are you the Phantomhive?"
"That's right. It's business, like usual."
The policeman looked a little disturbed, but he told the eyepatched boy anyway.
"Most of the victims are young people."
"Yeah, I know about that info."
"Then, what do you want to know?"
"Something like... the victims have in common?"
"Personally no, but some witnesses have seen a suspicious person at the scene. We don't know much about that person, but we assume it's a man. He's tall and big."
"Where did he go?"
"We don't know. But, if you want him to go out, maybe you can bait him out. Although the time of disappearance are not similar, most people went missing at night."
"Young Master, is this enough to go on?"
"Enough, I guess. We just need to arrange a bait."
Then, Ciel and Sebastian left the policeman. They went to Arthur and Alfred, who were waiting for them. They told the two nations about the information and the situation. Ciel also told them his plan, that he wanted to use a bait to lure the culprit out. Before Ciel was able to explain the purpose of this plan, Alfred immediately volunteered to use himself as a bait, because as usual, he thought that being a bait, luring the culprit, and defeating them were hero's job. Since he's so hero-obsessed, it's quite obvious that he's up for it. Arthur looked at him, and sighed.
"Then, it's settled. We'll do it at night in London. Sebastian, prepare the plan."
"I understand."
Let's cut to the chase. At night in London...
Alfred went to a rather empty path, as he leaned against a brick wall. Ciel, Sebastian, and Arthur disguised themselves with casual clothes so other people wouldn't be suspicious. Arthur hid in different place with Ciel and Sebastian. He hid behind a stone pillar which located across Alfred's position, while the rest hid at an intersection, which was located not far from Alfred's location. Arthur looked a little worried.
They waited and waited, but the suspected culprit didn't come. Not yet at least. Then...
Unexpectedly, a shadow appeared from the top and landed right in front Alfred. He was surprised until he fell down to the ground. When he saw this, out of reflexes, Arthur quickly ran towards him. Ciel and Sebastian also came out from their hiding place and chased the shadow. However, the suspicious person quickly ran away as he jumped high towards the rooftop. Ciel ordered Sebastian to chase after it. He threw dining knives towards the shadow, but it was able to block them. As Sebastian continued to chase it, Ciel, Alfred, and Arthur chased the shadow too.
At the middle of the chase, suddenly, the brick wall which was around the three, blew up. They were shocked, and their vision was blurred by dusts and smokes which occurred when the blow happened. When the dusts subsided, a person was revealed to be inside the ruins because of the blow.
"Owww... What exactly happened?"
A young man was revealed to be there. He wore a red coat which was loosen up, as if he didn't have any will to wear it fully. He had a long, red hair and a pair of red-framed glasses. But, the most extinguished thing about him, was that he had a chainsaw with him. He scratched his head as he stood up.
"Aren't you...?"
"Hmm? It's the eyepatched boy... Wait! Does that mean Sebas-chan is here!"
"Wait a sec, Grell! Tell me what happened!"
"What? That blow? I was fighting someone. He threw me easily through the walls."
"Someone?"
"I don't know, but he's a beast. I can't believe he fought so well even though he wore such thick clothes. I won't believe that he defeated me with just an iron pipe!"
Hearing this statement, Arthur quickly walked towards Grell. He asked with a loud voice, "Iron pipe, you say!"
"Hmm? What's with you? Yeah, that's right."
"We can't waste time here, we have to chase that person whom Sebastian chased."
The three quickly left Grell, but because of his obsession towards Sebastian, he chose to follow the three anyway.
Author's note:
Hi all! I decided to finish this fanfic first, since I'm in the mood. I don't know how this chapter will appeal to you. As you can see, it's Grell's first appearance. I thought that since I'm doing Hetalia and Kuroshitsuji, I might as well let Grell out. I'm still not sure on how I should do with him. I bet you Hetalia fans should be able to realize who that person carrying iron pipe around. Please tell me how do you like the chapter in the review!
