Moé shook her head.
"No, he vanished. He left this..."
Monoé took the card, and handed it to Caleb.
'I'll be back. -Thief Sachiel'
Monoé sighed.
"He became active a year or two ago. He's one of those weird Carmen Sandiego types. I've heard he's stolen entire planets before. I'm the only one who's seen him before, though. He's too fast."

The card disappeared in his robes. "I will be on my toes and look out for him then."

Monoé put her books back, and took out some books on the science of imagination.
[[/Moepurchase]]
She closed her eyes, thinking over something [or taking the creative exercises listed in the book], and began to read again.
She began to doze off.

Caleb was unable to to keep reading. He walked back up the stairs and went into the parlor, looking to the fire.

A shadowy figure began to creep past the well-used chair, and tried to sneak into the kitchen. His foot accidentally hit a dresser, and he froze in fear.

Caleb snapped to look at the figure. Dashing quite quickly at the figure. But, why was he coming to the same house, on the same night? This puzzled Caleb.

The figure revealed himself to be a young man [16 at oldest] in a gray butler outfit, with silver mid-neck length hair and golden eyes.
"Excuse me, I'm..."
He scrambled for an answer.
"...lost."

Caleb gave the man an odd look. "Why are you in my home?" He asked angrily.

The butler blinked.
"I... well, uh..."
He clapped his hands together.
"Well, this place was big, and since I'm a butler, so, uh, employment! Yeah. Don't worry, Mr. Alchemist, I won't steal your chemicals! Hahahah..."
He shook his head.
"No, I won't steal anything, I mean!"

"....No one has suspected someone was living here in over 20 years." Caleb replied. "I did not need such assistance."

The butler, nodding, backed away towards the hallway.
"Of course. It's just so active in here, I was wondering if you needed a butler."
He laughed nervously.
"Of course, you know, I'm gonna just... leave now."
A small golden pen nib caught his eye, and he quickly snatched at it, putting it in a suitpocket of his on instinct.
"I-I dropped a cufflink."
He looked around, talking to himself.
"...okay... okay... Kiddo, get me out of here..."

"...You little weasel!" Caleb said, seeing the nib disappear. "I will skin you alive!" He ran after the man.

The butler wailed, and ran downstairs.
"KIIIIIDDDO!"
He shoved past Moé, and ran inside of the room.
The butler began to violently shake Monoé's shoulders.
"Wake up! Wake up, now!"
He picked her up, and continued to run, reaching the front door.

"You will release her if you want to live!" He yelled, a pair of scissors in his right hand.

The butler yelled after him.
"Hey, I've known her longer than you have, Mr. Alchemist!"
He looked around.
"Inspiration, inspiration..."
A huge metal bat just came out of nowhere.
"Hah-HAH!"
