Anybody's POV
"Grell"

"Yes, my lady"

"Help us find some tea"

"Of course, my lady"

Grell, Madam red and Lau searched for tea in the house, causing a big mess that even the maids would have a hard time fixing.

"Where do they keep the tea?" Madam red huffed, slamming the doors of a cabinet.

"I can't find it either" Lau said, he sat down and started to hug the seat.

Voices could have been heard from the other side of the door.

"Some peace and quiet does sound nice."

The door opened

"Madam red, Lau, What are you doing here?" Ciel asked

"Your sudden appearance in town must mean..." Lau started

"That the queens guard dog has a new sent to follow." Madam red finished

"Now I suppose we better sit down and have a chat."

Everyone went to sit down while the butlers made tea and served it.

"He's struck again another prostitute was found gruesomely murdered at Whitechapel these killings are far from normal. The level of violence we're seeing is unprecedented." Ciel said, taking a sip of his tea.

"The most recent victim is a women named Mary Ann Nichols. It appears that a special type of blade was used on her. She was torn up beyond recognition."

"The murders distinctive style of killing has earned him the unique nickname from the press, Jack the Ripper."

"A frightening name" Lau muttered

"That's why I'm here early than expected, I hurried into town to look into the situation for myself."

"But are you sure that your brave enough to stomach the crime scene?" Lau asked with a smirk plastered on his face.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The sight of the dismembered body will certainly be horrific and one can only imagine the stench, blood and gore everywhere. Surely, it would be more than enough to drive some men mad. Are you prepared to see such a thing? Your just a young boy after all."

"I am the head of the Phantomhive's and in service to my Queen. Don't asked foolish questions."

"Your right"

Timeskip Crimescene

The small group walked through the crowd to get to the crime scene. Ciel and Sebastian walked ahead to a police officer who was keeping trespassers out.

"Sorry my boy, I'm afraid a crime scene is no place for a child." the officer said

"I'm here to see the victims body."

"The body?" The officer flinched

Behind the officer was Sir Arthur

"Well if it isn't Lord Phantomhive, What are you doing here?"

"You know this kid?"

"I'm here to help Sir Arthur, the investigation was dragging so she sent me. Of course" Ciel waved an envelop with the queen personal stamp on it.

"We at Scotland Yard are more than capable at handling this case."

"Splendid shall we go Sebastian"

"Yes, my Lord"

The both of them turned and left to go back to the group.
"What now?"

"Now we go somewhere useful"

"My Lord, you mean.." Lau asked with a shocked face.

"Yes, indeed"

The group stopped at the Undertaker.

"So, where are we?"

"You don't know. Then what was all that about?" Madam red said frustrated at Lau.

"It's a funeral parlour run by an acquaintance of my Lords." Sebastian explained then opened the door to let everyone in.

"If we're looking for answers this is the place."

The place was covered with coffins, a creepy voice was heard from within one of them.

"Hehehe, welcome I thought that I would be seeing you before long."

The biggest coffin in the room opened, a grey haired man in black clothing proceeded to come out.

"Do I finally have the pleasure to fit you with one of me coffins today?"

"No, that's not why we are here, Undertaker."

"You don't have to explain, I am well aware of why your here. One of my recent costumers was a bit unusual but I made here pretty again."

"I would like the details please"

"I see so the funeral parlour is only your cover business,. How much is it?" Lau asked

Undertakers smile fell of his face, he hated the queen and anything to do with her. Grell knew this, Undertaker would throw a fit every time Grell mentioned something to do with her. Still it brought him some amusement every time he would mention it to piss off the older man.

Undertaker sprinted to Lau "I have no need for the queens coins, there's only one thing that I want..." he then turned towards Ciel. "Please my Lord give it to me and I will tell you anything. Give me the extortionary gift of true laughter." He started panting like a dog in heat.

"Lunatic" Ciel muttered

'But a useful lunatic, a very useful one indeed' Grell thought, eyeing the giggling man.

"Leve it to me my Lord. Here's my joke. A classical one. which side does a tiger have the most strips? On the outside. Get it, haha"

Madam red stepped forward

"My turn, I live for gossip, this story will make you laugh so hard you will want to curl up and die. So Alice's bow gave her....white....thick veins....big....her hair...."

Undertaker looked bored

"Now my Lord, you only have two people left. Who's it going to be?"

'What does he mean by two?' Ceil glanced at the group and stopped at Grell 'Wait, I forget about Grell but he's useless. Still he did save my ring from Lizzy so not completely useless after all.'

"I gave you a discount last time but I'm not going to give you that again. If your not going to pick someone then I will, you with the red bow tell me a joke."

"Can I whisper it In your ear? Its probably terrible anyway." Grell said, moving closer to Undertaker.

"Here's my joke. A boy went to lots of weddings and the old people at them always poked at him and said that he was next. So, the boy started doing the same thing to them at funerals." Grell whispered into Undertakers ear.

Undertaker laughed so hard that he fell onto the ground, Sebastian gave a little chuckle since he used his demon hearing to listen into the joke. The others were clueless to what Grell had said to him.

"I will tell you now, an interesting pattern I have seen, I often get customers who are incomplete."

"Incomplete?"

"Yes, their uterus is missing, its quite odd. The killer makes a big mess of the body yet that particular part is precisely cut out."

"The streets that they are done on are very busy. Wouldn't an amateur have a hard time doing this?"

"Your a clever one butler. that was exactly what I was thinking." He moved towards Grell and dementated what to the victims "First he slits her thought the goes for our precious womanly part. Their will be more slain, I'm certain. Sadistic killers like this don't just stop until their apprehended. Will you stop him like a good little guard dog.

"I'm sworn by duty and I will do this by any means necessarily." Ciel said determined to apprehend the killer.

The all left, Grell left last but before he did Undertaker sent a knowingly glance towards him, Grell replied with a small smirk.

Inside Carriage

"His information narrows down our suspects"

"First, of all we look at those with the necessarily skill set crossing out anyone with alibis for the nights of the murders. The organs suggest some gruesome ritual, we should concentrate our investigation on anyone involved with secret society's." Sebastian explained

"That could be anyone even I could have the necessarily skill set to do this. Besides the season is ending soon any doctors who follow the nobles will be leaving for the country soon." Madam red said

"Then we should conclude the investigation quickly"

"Impossible"

"If I couldn't do that much then what kind of butler wold I be. I'll make a list of suspects immediately, my Lord."

"Now will you excuse me"

Sebastian opened the carriage door and left. Leaving behind two shocked faces.

"He knows that we're moving right?" Madam red looked out the window trying to find the butler.

"Sebastian will take care of things, we should have a cup of tea while we wait."

Phantomhive Manor

The group went inside the manor, they were meet with Sebastian who greeted them.

"Welcome back I have waited for your return. The tea is ready for yous in the drawing room."

"Hold on, how are you here?"

"I've already finished my little arrant so I made my way back."

"You've made the suspect list already."

"Yes, I have and contacted them all to get their alibis."

"Come now Sebastian that's impossible even for you."

With a flash, one of the lists opened and Sebastian started to read it.

"Richard Oswald the doctor of the duke of Bailey was at the White Horse pub with friends and has no connect with secret societies. Madam Ross of the Royal London was with an injured man tending to him. William Summerset was with..... and that's everyone. I have narrowed it down to one suspect."

"Are you sure your a butler and not some secret agent?"

"Yes, my Lady, I am simply one hell of a butler."

Viscount Druitt's Party

"The only suspect on my list is the Viscount Druitt, also known as Aleistor Chamber. He graduated from medical school but never went into practice. Lately, he has hosted several parties but behind the scenes he holds a gathering that only the invited can attend."

"I've heard that he's into black magic and the occult sorts of things."

"So your suspicion is that he is holding the parties to lure noble prostitutes and kill them for a ritual."

"Tonight is the last party of the season" Ciel walked out of the carriage wearing his female disguise. That consisted of a baby pink dress that reached the floor with a matching slanted hat to cover his two pigtails.

"This is the last party of the season so this is our last chance."

Inside

"Ciel will be my niece visiting from the country while Sebastian will be Ciels tutor." Madam red laughed

"Why do I have to be your niece?" Ciel said clearly outraged at having to dress like a girl.

"Because darling, I've always wanted a girl after my precious Arthur, of course."

"Are you kidding me!!"

"You don't want them knowing that your a Phantomhive, do you? Besides, I've heard that Lord Druitt has an eye for anything in a skirt"

"By any means necessarily, don't you remember saying that" Sebastian said with a smile.

If looks could kill Sebastian would be dead.

"First things first we need to locate the viscount."

"Thank god Lizzy isn't here otherwise I wouldn't be able to live this down."

"That dress is so cute!" A voice from behind said to two ladies.

Sebastian and Ciel turned around to find the owner, it was Lizzy.

'FUCK!' Ciel mentally screamed he couldn't let her see him, especially like this.

From a corner in the room Grell watched the lord internally panic. 'Aw I wish Lizzy would go over to Ciel then he'll really panic. Maybe she needs a little push in the right direction.' Grell went up to a waiter and told that Lizzy needed a drink and said to point her into ceils direction

The waiter walked up to her a gave her a drink the pointed in Ciels direction.

"You in the pink, your dress in beautiful." Lizzy exclaimed and started to walk over to Ciel.

"Quickly to Madam red"

"Hahaha" Madam red laughed with men surrounding her.

"Oh, where did she go?" Lizzy looked about frantically for them.

"Did you see the viscount, his hair looks like the sun." Ladies said gossiping to each other.

The music started to play so every began to dance along to it.

"Dam, we'll never be able to get near him."

"We must dance along, my mistress."

"I can't dance with you"

"As your tutor, yes, I can. Now come along."

The two started to dance towards the viscount. Eventually the music stopped and Ciel fell to the ground exhausted.

*clap**clap*

"Your dancing is exquisite like a robin my lady." Viscount Druitt said

"Young mistress, allow me to fetch you something to drink."

Sebastian left alone with the viscount.

"Good evening my lord Druitt" Ciel curtsied

"I do hope that your enjoying the party" Druitt kissed Ciel's hand

"My lord it is a wonderful party, I have been waiting to speak to you this evening. Im bored of dancing and eating."

"What a spoiled little princess you are." He grabbed Ciel's waist and slid his hand down to his ass.

'You can injure it Ciel after all those horrible lessons you went through, you cannot blow this.'

"You know of other amusements?"

"Yes, ill be happy to show you little robin."

'I swear when this is all over I am going to kill this creep. Shit, Lizzy is coming over here.'

"What has you so troubled my robin."

"Nothing my Lord, are you going to show me the other entertainment?"

Sebastian stopped Lizzy from approaching Ciel by posing as a magician in a mask.

"Ladies and Gentleman if you all come around, this evenings magic show is about to commence. You, there will you assist me?"

"Certainly" Lau said

"Strange, I don't remember scheduling a magician for this evening." Druitt said

"My Lord I've seen so many parlour tricks that its boring. Can we go please?" Ciel asked him with puppy dog eyes.

"Anything for you my robin."

Grell watched the exchange. he looked towards Madam red who gave him a nod to go and follow them.

Magic Show

"Its simple really, I will lock my self in the cupboard then my assistant with put the swords in. once he has do it, I will come out unharmed."

Lau mercilessly impaled the swords into the cupboard. The cupboard opened to an unharmed Sebastian.

"How magical"

"Indeed, for a minute there I was worried that I had killed you."

"How did you do it, anyway?" Lau asked

"You did it not knowing that he was defiantly going to survive!" Madam red exclaimed

With Ciel

The viscount led him to a room full of sleeping gas.

"What is hat smell...." Ciel fell to the floor unconscious.

"Arent you enjoying, yourself little robin?"

Ciel later woke up, ropes around him and blind folded. He was trapped in a large bird cage.

"Now what you have been waiting for is the crown jewel of tonight. you can do anything you want to her. Her eyes are two different colours but that adds to her beauty."

'So that's what he is doing, selling the prostitutes organs on the black market.'

"We'll start at £1000"

"£2000"

"£3000"

"£3500"

"£5000"

"Sebastian come and get me now" Ciel's contract glowed

The lights went out.

"Ah!"

*Smash* *Whack*

The light came back on. Everyone was knocked out apart from Ciel, Sebastian and Grell, who was watching secretly from the side lines.

"Sir, are you only useful for getting captured."

"As long as the contract is in place you'll follow me where ever I go."

"I will always follow even into death."

"I suppose this solves the Jack the Ripper case."

"Scotland yard is surely to be here soon , so shall we take our leave my mistress?"

He picked up Ciel, carrying him like a bride and went out the window.

Next Day

"Jack the Ripper strikes again!" Lau said reading out the newspaper

"So the viscount wasn't our man after all." madam red commented and held her chin in thought.

Ciel had a face of pure rage. He was wrong about the viscount and now the main suspect was cleared.

Sebastian held a blank face.

Grell was lost in thought, he knew that he and Madam red were going to be caught soon. He didn't want the confrontation to be the same like the anime and manga with Madam red dying, he certainly wasn't going to kill her, she was his dear friend and Arthur. Poor him would be motherless. Besides he made sure that all the prostitutes, that they had killed, were on the to die list anyway, he didn't want William on his ass as well. Still decision, decisions.
