Belle Adams' Butler
Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~

The storage room wasn't used often and if it was, it was only a person or two to the maximum to keep the items of the new cases that were either resolved or unresolved with evidence. Hendrick knew how the door looked like but he had never been here before.
Carrying the lantern up high in his hand, he looked at the number of racks that were lined in front of him and the thousands of boxes that were placed in every side of the shelves. Hendrick took a long time by pulling the boxes one after another moving it around as quickly as he could as there was no time to lose. If the portal were to close, the only way out was through the door and he would be stuck.
"Where are you?" asked Hendrick, staring at the racks. He had worked for the council before which was why he was the one who had been assigned with the task but he didn't know where the book was.
