"My name is Frasier Schubert. I am the butler to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales" The unfamiliar person seated on their couch said.

"Prince Charles? It's surprising to find you here on Christmas morning" Ciel said.

"Prince Charles had sent me on behalf of Her Majesty. It is in this letter here" Frasier handed over the letter.

"Thank you" Ciel said glancing down at the letter.

"I shall take my leave then" Frasier stood up.

"I'll escort you out" Claude said leading the way out.

"So what does this letter say?" Alois asked.

"This might be a difficult mission. A college student has gone missing for the past three days. He's a foreign exchange student from USA. The American embassy is throwing a fit over this. We need to find this guy before the relations between UK and US get any worse" Ciel said.

"Okay let's start investigating" Alois said rubbing his hands together.

"Claude and Alois find the bank statements of this guy and look through his activity for anything suspicious. Sebastian and Luke go to the college and ask his roomies when they last saw him of another details you find necessary" Ciel said.

Claude and Alois hurried off while Luke headed out to the car.

"What are you going to do?" Sebastian asked.

"Going to visit someone" Ciel replied.

Sebastian ducked into his car and then watched Ciel drive away. She had got her driving license she had been sixteen but had never used it. Sebastian drove towards the college dorms and they grabbed passes at the front desk.

"Are any of Dave's roommates in?" Sebastian asked.

"He only has one roommate who's upstairs right now" The woman at the front desk replied.

They headed upstairs and then entered Dave's room. His roommate was lying down on the bed with his eyes shut.

"Oi, mate, wake up" Luke said and the guy sat up instantly.

"What do you want?" he asked rudely.

"We're investigating the disappearance of your roomie. Actually, it's surprising that he hasn't been here for three days and yet you didn't report him missing" Sebastian replied.

All the fight drained out of the guy. He clasped his hands together and then looked up at Sebastian.

"He always does that. He disappeared for a couple of days and then comes back. But this is the first time he disappeared for three days" He said.

Luke noted the shaking of the guy's hands and the abnormal perspiration. He sniffed delicately and his eyes widened.

"Don't be scared of us, mate. We won't destroy you. Just tell us what you know" Luke said.

"It was three months ago since Arjun started disappearing for a couple of days. He doesn't really tell us where he goes. Also three months ago there was a raid done in one of the parties that we all attended" The guy's hands shook violently and he looked back down to the wooden floors.

Ciel parked outside the precinct. She got out and walked straight inside.

"Good morning, Ciel. He's waiting for you" Olivia said.

Ciel smiled and then sat down in the interrogation room. A couple of minutes later, Kang walked and sat down opposite her. His face was gaunt and pale while his eyes had dark circles around them.

"How's life in prison treating you?" Ciel asked.

"It is rather lackluster here. All you see are stone walls and the ringing of telephones" Kang replied.

"Since you betrayed me, I've decided to ask the questions you always refused answering. Who used to supply your drugs?"

Kang laughed, "Now that I've been caught, Countess, I'm out of the drug circle. I don't know who's taken my place or if the suppliers have changed. As you know, there have been many drug raids over the past eight months. The dealers are very careful now and it'll be even harder to catch them".

"So you're saying I won't be able to find them?" Ciel asked.

"Unless you have someone in the inner circle then it's impossible to do anything to them" Kang replied.

"That's all I need to know. Thanks" Ciel stood and walked out of the precinct.

She returned to the manor where everyone had already regrouped. She sat down on the couch and listened to what Luke and Sebastian had to say.

"I'm pretty sure that guy does drugs. He was acting like the way Andre does when he doesn't have drugs" Luke said.

"His pupils were rather dilated as well. Maybe Dave does drugs too" Sebastian said.

"What did you guys find out?" Ciel asked Claude and Alois.

"Well, Dave takes out a lot of money from his father's account. It's withdrawn and spent. If Sebastian suspects Dave taking drugs then maybe the large amount of money is spent on drugs" Alois said.

"How much money?" Ciel asked.

"It varies between £80000 to £100000" Claude replied.

"That does prove the drug theory right but we need more evidence. Call in Dave's best friends from the college" Ciel said.

Dave's friends were a rather nervous bunch. The three young men were named Chris, Aziz and Harry. Chris was Irish with blond hair and green eyes. Aziz was Arabian with brown eyes and black hair. Harry was a brunette with blue eyes.

"So when did you guys start taking drugs?" Ciel asked staring at all three of them.

"I swear, we've stopped taking drugs" Aziz said.

"The shaking of your hands and your prespiration says otherwise. Currently, your trial is still going on in court. Now tell me. Where do you guys get these drugs?" Ciel asked again.

"At college parties. There's usually some held every two weeks and drug dealers come to give drugs to us" Chris replied.

"So where does your friend Dave fit into this? Did you guys corrupt him and make him take drugs?" Ciel asked.

"No, Dave never took any drugs. He just gave us money to organise the parties" Aziz said.

"Dave never took drugs? Then why organise the parties?" Alois asked.

"For Angelea" Harry spoke up.

"Who's Angelea?"

"She's a dancer who performs at college parties. Three months ago we took Dave to his first party. He saw Angelea dancing there and fell in love. He gives money for the parties and just comes to see her dance. He went crazy for her" Chris replied.

"So was Angelea taken with him?" Ciel asked.

"She found him a pain. She doesn't care that he loves her. All she cares about is money and the drugs" Aziz replied.

"So when was the last party done?"

"Three nights ago. I saw Dave go after Angelea after her performance. Then after that, I didn't see him again" Chris replied.

"Then we need to find Angelea" Alois concluded.

"We don't need to find her. She'll come to us. We need to organize a party of our own" Ciel said.

"But the drug dealers background check everyone who organizes a party" Aziz said.

"Sebastian, make an ID that is airtight and no dealer will know it's fake. Also, enroll Alois into Dave's college. Use Facebook to invite everyone" Ciel said.

"Why do I have to enroll?" Alois asked.

"Because you're the one who looks most like a first year college student. You just need to make an appearance at this party" Ciel replied.

The plan was set. Alois dressed in casual blue skinny jeans and a red shirt. He had styled his hair into a more casual style. By the time he arrived to the party it was already in full swing. He wandered around for a while and then caught sight of Ciel. She had dressed in mini shorts and a fitted black tee shirt. Her black leather boots glowed in the dim lighting. Her hoodie was pulled right over her face and her blue uncovered eye scanned the guests carefully.

Then a woman with long silky black hair came onto the dance floor. She was dressed in gold lame shorts and a pink sleeveless top. She danced along to the music attracting the attention of many of the guys. Ciel gritted her teeth as Angelea danced gracefully. After the song was over, she made her way over.

"Hey" Angelea turned around and Ciel smirked.

"My friend wants to see you. He'll pay whatever you want" Ciel said.

Angelea smirked. "Money is like dust on the floor. Don't let it rule you".

Ciel frowned and then turned around to leave the dance floor. Alois held his breath and police burst into the room. In an instant people began to run away. Angelea looked around just in time to see Ciel throw off her hoodie and pull out the gun. Ciel smirked and aimed the gun right at her.

Angelea looked around wildly and Ciel ran towards her. Angelea kicked her heel towards the bar and hit one of the alcohol bottles. Ciel's eyes widened and she froze when she saw the flames behind the bar.

"Ciel, get out of here!"

"I'm not leaving without you, Mom!"

"I'm right behind you, Ciel. Just run!"

Ciel fell to her knees and the gun clattered to the floor. The flames came closer and closer but she made no move to get up.

"CIEL!"
