Chapter 4
Sebastian reported the conversation with (Y/N) and all the possibilities to Ciel when he was ready to hear it. "Her behavior was quite odd she may be behind the scenes of the crime, but if what she says is true, I believe we have good leads with this investigation as the possibility of someone in her crew or materials management could have been the ones to lace the fabrics." Ciel took in the information carefully, coming up with a question of his own. "How does one lace fabric with poison? More importantly what could the motive be if cheating someone out of materials isn't enough to want to frame her? She has to have done something to someone for them to want to frame her for murder." Very good questions. "With mysterious events come mysterious ways." Was Sebastian's short reply. "Our next move will involve investigating the work area." Ciel stated their plans for the next day going to the study of the London home to write a letter informing her of their arrival this time, and sent it off.

Ciel and Sebastian set out for (L/N)'s manor the next evening. After Sebastian helped Ciel out of the carriage they noticed (Y/N) standing at the door, waiting for them with a coy smile. Her beauty couldn't be denied as she was wearing a beautiful, knee length, (F/C) dress that hugged her in the right places and had slight ruffles on the bottom. Her hair was done in such an elegant way. "Well hello, it's nice to finally meet your acquaintance Lord Phantomhive." Ciel nodded his head, "To you as well Lady (L/N)." He replied shortly.
The two followed her into her home, also the place the clothes were manufactured, given her home was quite large it had its own warehouse. "Seeing as I'm being graced with your presence, it's only courteous to give you a tour of the warehouse." (Y/N) stated, opening the door of said area. "We make our own colors and I have employees sketching their own designs for future ideas," She talked as they walked though the large area, her showcasing the spots for working as she described each post. "And of course I have my own working space located elsewhere in my home where I do the sewing and come up with my own ideas and planning. If you'd like to see that area don't hesitate to inform me."
As (Y/N) finished the small tour of the warehouse a girl with locks of ginger was seen walking up to her with a cheery smile. "(Y/N), I have some great news on the new shade of orange that has been in development this past week." (Y/N) turned to her as the girl pulled out a small vial with a thick liquid inside. "This is the sample, I just wanted your opinion on it before we develop more." (Y/N) gave a soft smile as she took the vial into her hands, examining the color. Holding the vial in the palm of her hand she turned towards Sebastian. "Why wouldn't you look at this? Isn't it simply amazing? Such a vivid color, wouldn't you say Sebastian?" Said butler also examined the contents of the vial. "It is most definitely stunning, you seem to have a great team on your hands, Lady (Y/N)." He commented with a closed eyed smile. You continued on, "This here is Madison, my most trusted colleague. She's the dye specialist of the corporation." Ciel greeted her shortly. "Just bring the color to my office so I can sample it." You mentioned before you dismissed her.
You turned to your two guests. "Please if you need anything don't hesitate to ask and if you find anything I would like to be notified, if you will." You say before bidding them farewell. "I see what you mean when you describe her as mysterious just by her demeanor." Ciel said quietly to Sebastian. Sebastian acknowledged his words silently as they began searching and investigating, most of the hired workers now gone as the day was over for them. The two searched drawers and Sebastian looked around at the clothing for scents of poison, using lanterns as their source of light as the sun had set. This carried on for a while, as the warehouse was fairly large, until Ciel called Sebastian over. Sebastian walked over, noticing Ciel holding a small bottle. "This was in a pocket of one of the coats." Sebastian takes the bottle and examines it opening the top and smelling the content inside. "It smells toxic, does the coat belong to anyone in particular?" Sebastian questioned. Ciel looked around on the coat and saw an embroidered name tag. "Farley." Ciel thought for a second. "We'll notify Scotland Yard, but we must keep it low profile, something about this doesn't seem right." Sebastian nodded in agreement. "The smell does not match that of the dress." Sebastian added. "I feel she has more to do with this than she's letting on. Though we must not let her catch on to our suspicions of her." Ciel stated, in which Sebastian agreed again.
The two exited the warehouse, Ciel having sent Sebastian to locate and speak with (Y/N) while he continued to search throughout the manor. The manor was dark as the two parted ways and walked through the halls Sebastian listened out for (Y/N) and soon after descending into what seemed like a basement area he walked down the hall and to a door. Hearing movement inside he peeked in without the slightest noise. The interior of the room looked to be a lab of some sort, looking in a bit more he noticed (Y/N) with her back turned to the door, looking through a microscope and writing down notes, the smell of chemicals strong in the air. She began taking off her coat and mask in which Sebastian decided to close the door and walk back up the steps. After a couple minutes he hears her coming up the steps. As she came up she turned and spotted him waiting for her.
"Hello, Sebastian. Have you and the Lord Phantomhive completed your search?" She questioned. Sebastian gave a closed eyed smile. "Why yes we have, I've been sent to find you. Its seems we have found something." Her eyes slightly widened. "In my own facility." She muttered quietly with a forlorn look on her face. "Yes it seems so." Sebastian confirmed. Pulling the bottle out of his coat pocket he held it in his palm to show her. "It seems we have found this bottle of poison in a coat pocket, the name Farley on the coat. Do you happen to know which of your workers this is? If so my young master would like to pull him for questioning." (Y/N) nodded her head yes. "His name is Jean Farley he handles the shipping department. He is coming tomorrow as we have items on the way to the warehouse." Sebastian nods, "I will inform my master, we shall be here tomorrow then, do you have a time?" "11am." She replies shortly with a straight face. Sebastian nods and turns to find Ciel and leave.
