Narrator's P.O.V.

You both smiled, Arthur might have been a detective but _____ was an actor. In the opera, singers often had to act the role of certain characters and someone of _____ 's caliber certainly would excel in this.

"Now that we've done that, it's time to put the plan into work." Said Annabelle as she walked out.

It was hard to believe that this was the same _____ that was at the brink of madness a few days ago. But somehow, Annabelle managed to get her back on her feet.

......

It was tea time, today, Arthur was going to be coming back from his trip. Annabelle had made her two rounds to her friends house but never once had _____ attempted escape, something that baffled the people who were told to keep an eye out for her.

Though no one was complaining, it made their job easier.

But little did they know, their lady was about to put her real plan into action. The one she had planned with Annabelle was just a distraction, knowing full well that Arthur was listening.

The servants were busy making preparations for their masters return, which meant that it was time for _____ to make her move.

The maid excused herself from the kitchen and ran towards the indoor garden, where her mistress was waiting for her.

_____ didn't have a coat since Arthur hardly let her go out so she was wearing one of his coats. She had also managed to get a good sum of money from Arthur, without the male knowing, of course.

"M'lady, let's go."

She instructed _____.

"Okay."

The first floor entrance was left unattended as most of the servants rushed from the back entrance in the kitchen for conveniences' sake.

Since _____ hadn't done anything yet, the servants had relaxed and where paying less attention to her and were more involved in their chores.

Annabelle gently pulled the door and took _____ 's hand as they went out.

"This was easy." Added _____.

"The servants may not act like it but they're humans too, m'lady. Sir Arthur warned them about our plan but since you haven't done anything yet, they're guard is down. Arthur may be a world renowned detective but his servants aren't." Said the maid.

"Now let's hurry."

_____ nodded at the last remark as Arthur would be back in less than two hours.

......

It had been half an hour, you were now finally in town, you knew that Arthur's servants were familiar with Annabelle's friends house so you had just bought some basic accessories worth a few shillings to disguise yourselves instead of going to anyone's house and used some others you brought with you from the mansion.

Now you two had to get to the train station in time. Hiring a carriage would be risky so you had to go walking. It was raining, neither of you were prepared for this but it didn't matter.

It was three in the afternoon, you were a few minutes away from the train station.

You were both pretty sure that Arthur was almost back, you'd have to hurry.

"Were here." Said the maid lightly.

"Right, let's get on the train as soon as possible."

In a matter of minutes you were both on a third class train, headed towards Brighton, from where you'd have to figure out where to go next.

"M'lady-"

"Just call me [Fake/Name], to make sure they don't suspect us."

"Okay, then, [Fake/Name], we must be careful, two women traveling alone can be dangerous, we must only use the main streets, I'll be easier this way."

"Okay but, what're we going to do now?"

"We'll be staying at an inn for tonight, after that we'll be going to Germany from where we'll head to Denmark."

"I see, it'll be harder to track us down if we travel from place to place, am I right?"

"Yes, once we get to Denmark, we can go somewhere else, some place that's more secluded."

_____ didn't reply to Annabelle, she was deep in thought at the moment, what if Arthur caught her.

"What about your family, Annabelle? Won't Arthur track them down or hurt them?"

"Don't worry, my parents died a long time ago and as far as I know, they were both the only children in their families."

......

While things were going quite well for _____, I can't say the same for Arthur's end, he had just gotten back from a case, wanting to be welcomed by his wife, only to find out she had escaped, with a maid!

Arthur's was beyond mad, he was shouting at the servants like a mad man, punching some of them, even killing a few.

"Useless, all of you! How could you not know where _____ is!"

"Did I not tell you to keep an eye on her!"

"You bloody useless servants!"

"Out, all of you! Get out! I'm going to find her myself! And don't think for a second that you're safe, once I find her I'll get to you lot!"

......

"Okay, here is you room." Announced an old woman as she handed _____ a key.

"Okay, thank you."

"*sigh* I don't think Arthur will find us here, this inn isn't really popular but the price was quite reasonable so this will have to do."

"Don't worry Anna!" Said _____, it was the first time in ages that she had smiled.

"You've already done so much, no need to feel bad about it, we need to save money anyways."

"Yes, tomorrow we'll be heading towards the ship that'll be taking us to France, it's not very grand but It's run by a low profile sailor so It'll help keep us hidden. After which we'll take a train to Germany, from there we'll head to Denmark. We'll have to think through what we want to do next but one thing is for sure, we can't stay in one place for too long."

......

It was early morning when Annabelle woke up and got dressed.

"[Fake/Name] it's time to wake up, I have a bad feeling, if we stay here any longer we'll get found out!" She said.

"Right! I'm up! I'll just wear the clothes I bought in town, let's go."

"Let's leave Arthur's coat here, It'll be easier to not get recognized this way!"

"I'll just give it to the lady that works at the inn, to cut down payment, it's not raining right now and I can get a new one once we're out!"

The girls hastily headed out, paying the innkeeper a surprisingly low sum of money, who knew Arthur's coat would come in handy.

Let's go, once more, the two were on their way.

......

They were on the boat, they had both managed to successfully exit England, now all that was left was to reach their destination.

While those two were quite happy, the same couldn't be said for Arhur who was going crazy as of the moment.

"What do you mean you don't know where they are, aren't you the police, it's your job!"

"Your all bloody useless!"

"Hey Arthur, bro, calm down, we'll find them." Said a certain America.

"Calm down?! Calm down?! That maid just kidnapped my wife and you want me to calm down!?"

The male continued to shout and order policemen around but one thing that didn't change were his hands, more specifically his left hand, it was in his coat pocket the entire time. He was keeping a certain crystal bottle in his pocket.

'I tried to be a gentleman, I tried to be nice, but this is how you repay me, huh, love? I gave you everything you could ever want but you go ahead and fool me and you even dare so steal from me! I guess we'll play this your way then!'
