Ciel awoke the next day to Sebastian parting his curtains, letting the rays of first light spill into his room. Ciel groaned as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Good morning young master. Did you get some sleep this time?" Sebastian said as he put Ciel's robe on him.

"Some. Is my breakfast ready?" Ciel said as he slipped on his eye patch and went to the dining room.

"Of course my lord. Today you will be having eggs benedict, a cup of earl grey, and the market stall's finest fruits."

Mey-Rin, Baldroy, and Finnian greeted their master as he sat down and began to eat.

Finnian slung his hedge clippers over his back as he washed his hands of the dirt. Mey-Rin tidied up the kitchen, well tried to, as Baldroy leaned against the wall and chewed on a tooth pick.

Sebastian came back in with a letter that had the queen's wax stamp on it.

"I believe this is for you."

Handing Ciel the envelope, Ciel opened it with a letter opener and read the cursive writing.

Dearest Ciel Phantom hive,

I'm sorry to bother you so soon after the last case that you had, but it seems I am in need of your services again. Go downtown to Templeton St. and investigate the crime scene there. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerly,Queen Victoria

Another case? Fine. But she really needs to hire new detectives. Ciel thought as he finished his breakfast and left May-Rin to wash dishes.

She clumsily stacked up the dishes as Finnian swiped a ripe pear from the fruit bowl.

"Hey! You can't take that!" May-Rin said as she tried chasing after Finnian, making the dishes sway precariously in her arms.

"Watch yourself May-Rin!" Baldroy yelled after her, staying behind her in case she fell.

Sebastian had shot them back a look and they stood at attention. Ciel looked back as well with a neutral expression on his face.

"Sorry master!" They said in unison as they all bowed. Ciel and Sebastian continued walking away.

Sebastian carefully dressed Ciel for the day. Wearing his white ruffled shirt and blue tail coat, Ciel placed his top hat unto his head. Sebastian gave him his cane.

"Now then, Sebastian. Retrieve my carriage. We go to town today."

"Yes my lord."

As Ciel descended the grand steps into his foyer, the sounds of hooves on the pavement stopped at his door. Sebastian opened the carriage door and waited until Ciel stepped up inside. When the carriage doors shut, the carriage rode on.

"He knows where we are going right?"

"Yes I told him." Sebastian said as he observed Ciel who had been looking out the window and at the shops that lined London's streets. Ciel shifted his attention to Sebastian and stared at him. Sebby just smiled.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the house in question. Ciel put his cane down first and used it to get himself out. His blue eye took in the scene. So far it looked normal. The crowd around him whispered in hushed tones as he strode by. A few detectives were around but by majority, this was his case. Sebastian entered the house first, scouting it out ahead.

"Come in young master. Nothing too bad."

Ciel had done just that and started in the living room. One body lay on the sofa, chest cavity half opened and blood in small dried waterfalls around him. Ciel looked away quickly before regaining composure.

"You said nothing too bad."

"Well, you have seen worse." Sebastian answered honestly as he put up a hand in innocence.

Giving a disdainful look, Ciel got closer to the corpse and examined the wounds. It looked like the person wanted to get at the man's heart.

"Master, the kitchen."

Ciel then was in the tiny kitchen that looked like it barely had enough room for two people. A woman, who he assumed to be a mother, lay on top of a bowl of batter that she had been stirring. The same scenario with her and the daughter. Chest cavities ripped open, blood, and missing hearts.

"Does this killer have some sort of fetish with his victim's hearts?" Ciel said as he picked up the doll from the girl's cold hands.

What the..there's an x on the doll's chest.

Ciel wrapped the doll up in cloth and put it in a bag. He would look at it later when he got home.

Ciel went to the only bedroom in the house. Nothing that unusual just some mattresses, clothes, soap. He regrouped with Sebastian who was in the basement. Sebastian had found some interesting blood stains that resembled swirls on the floor. Then a straight line drug across from one side of the room to another.

"It ends at the wall. But, somehow the blood trail goes past it."

"Goes past it?"

"See how it doesn't actually stop? Looks like something's been dragged under."

"You know what to do Sebastian."

And so, Sebastian used brute force to knock out the brick wall. A rancid smell came from beyond the cobwebs.
