Chapter 38: The Crime Of The Century.

(Eva's POV)

Ciel sat his fork down in disgust. "Why is that man always getting into trouble." He said while rubbing his forehead.

Sebastian rolled the papers back up and placed them in his pocket.

"I'm not quite sure young master. But, if we are going to find out which of the three committed the crimes, then we need to leave at once."

Ciel nodded his head. "Mey-Rin!" He called.

After a moment, the clumsy maid ran into the room and curtsied. "Yes, young master?"

"I need you to clean up in here. Do you think you can manage that without damaging anything?"

She slowly nodded her head. "Alright, we will return soon. Please do not destroy the manor while we are away."

She nodded again and left the room. Ciel stood up and sat his napkin down.

"Sebastian, meet us at the front door with my coat."

"Of course, young master." He bowed and left.

We made our way to the entrance hall, where Sebastian stood with Ciels coat. He put his coat on and opened the door.

We reached the carriage and stepped inside and made our way to town.

When the carriage pulled to a stop, Ciel took out the queens letter and skimmed over it.

"The crimes have been committed on this side of London. We need to check every alley way, every corner, anywhere the culprit might be."
Sebastian and I nodded and stepped out of the carriage and helped the young master out.

Ciel pointed to the nearest alley. "Let's try there first."

We both nodded once more and followed Ciel into the darkness.

We looked around to find no signs of murder in the area.

"Why don't I look on the rooftops and see if I can find anything from an areal view?" I asked.

"Yes, that would be best I believe." Ciel replied.

I nodded and climbed up onto the nearest rooftop. I scoped around the shadows looking for anything suspicious, until I saw red. Dammit Grell.

"Young master" I sighed. "I believe I have found him."

Ciel nodded and motioned for me to jump down. I did as I was told and landed beside them.

"He's this way, follow me." They both nodded and followed me to the red headed nuisance.

When we arrived, there stood Grell hovering over a mans body. The poor mans eyes were gouged out and his heart was ripped right out from his chest and thrown to the side.

"Grell, care to explain what you are doing?" Ciel asked, annoyance dripping from his words.

Grell jumped and stood up. He brushed off his coat and fixed his hair.

"Well you see, I was walking along and I came up on this poor gentleman. He was bleeding quite a lot. I decided I would help him, but sadly, it was too late." He said in a sarcastic tone.

Ciel rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "I have orders by the queen to bring you in for questioning. Why are you doing this, and stop playing dumb. We know it was obviously you."

Grell rolled his eyes and stomped his feet. "It isn't fair that every other woman gets a man and I don't! I am a woman capable of love too you know!"

I walked up to Grell and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Listen Grell, this is not how you find someone. You have to show compassion and sanity." I said, putting emphases on sanity.

He lowered his head. "That's easy for you to say. You're gorgeous, and look who you have." I glanced to Sebastian, who had an emotionless look on his face.

I suddenly had an idea. "Sebastian!!"

He smiled and raised a brow. "Yes, love?"

I glanced between the two and an evil grin grew across my face.

Sebastian's smile soon fell. "No love. I will not allow it."

I walked over to him and grabbed his hands. "Please love. This would be a great opportunity for the both of them."

Grell cleared his throat. "For whom, may I ask?"

I turned to him and my smile grew even wider. "Agares."

He raised a brow. "Who?"

I ran to him and grabbed his hands. "Agares, Agares Michaelis!"

His eyes grew large. "B-Bassy has a b-brother?"

I nodded my head in excitement. "Yes! And they look identical!'

Grell brought his hand up to his head dramatically. "Oh my, why are we still standing here!"

I glanced towards Ciel and he whispered. "We have to take him into custody anyways."

I nodded my head and led them to the carriage. We passed by an alley way and heard crying.

I stopped and listened. "Do you hear that as well Sebastian?"

Sebastian nodded in return. "Young master, would you like for us to go see what it is?"

Ciel nodded. "I suppose."

We both nodded and quietly advanced towards the sobbing. When we got there we saw a young woman seated against a wall with her knees to her chest.

I slowly crouched down beside her. "Are you alright miss?"

She slowly looked up and revealed glowing lavender eyes.

"N-not r-really. My m-master fired m-me." She said in between sobs. "And n-now I have n-no place to g-go."

I glanced up towards Ciel who sighed. He walked over to us and looked down at the woman.

"What is your name my lady?"

She slowly wiped away a tear. "Anna, Anna Feloz."

Sebastian and I glanced towards each other with an odd glance.

I shook my head and returned my attention to the woman. She had long black hair and lavender eyes, she was wearing a maids uniform.

Ciel nodded and bowed. "It is a pleasure to meet you miss Feloz. I am Ciel Phantomhive. Do you have anywhere to stay tonight?"

She slowly shook her head. "Well, would you like a job at my manor my lady? I do need some more help, with these two getting married, an extra pair of hands would be quite nice."

Her eyes grew wide. "Y-yes, t-thank you."

Ciel reached for her hand, which she gladly accepted. "Now that that's settled, let's go home."

Grell raised a brow. "Hello? Are you forgetting something?"

Ciel turned to him and sighed. "Arrive at the manor tomorrow at noon and we shall see to it."

Grell rolled his eyes and nodded. He turned around and walked off.

Ciel turned back to Anna. "Now, let's go."

We arrived at the carriage and got in. Anna sat beside Ciel and Sebastian and I sat across from them, nobody would normally sit beside the master, but the carriage is rather small.

I glanced between the two and looked out the window. When I returned my attention back to Anna, she was asleep, or so I thought. She opened her eyes and looked up at me and smirked.

There's something off about this woman, I know that grin. But where?
