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.

Belle Adams' Butler

Before Belle could reach the mansion, she noticed the gates to the mansion had been opened and it was not done by her. Her eyes looked at the front of the mansion and there was no one there. The closer she got to the entrance along with Baltimore who followed right behind her, the door to the mansion appeared and Lucas stepped out with a stern look on his face.

"Mistress Belle, where had you been to this late in the night?" Lucas enquired at her, his black eyes sharply looking at Belle, unhappy with her leaving the mansion in the middle of the night.

"I went to church. I thought I could get my mind off a few things," she answered him. Her eyes moved to the corner as if to indicate the person who stood behind her.

Lucas who already knew who Baltimore was and how he looked right now feigned ignorance by asking her, "Who is this?"
