"Hey Daniel, I have some good news." Patrick sounded cheerful.

"What is it?" Daniel asked him curiously.

​​

"I just arrested Andrew and Sophia"

...

One day ago [Wednesday Night]

Patrick was standing in the gallery and was smoking a cigarette, he was frustrated as there was no lead to the case he is working on. The only good thing right now was his colleague is now safe and is out of danger but on the other side, although he has the culprit's fingerprints and knows who the murderers are he was still not able to get a hold of them.

One thing was clear, Andrew and Sophia are the murderers but who they murdered and why they murdered him was not clear.

Their previous victims were all old rich people but the one murdered recently was a different victim so it was obvious that they didn't kill him for money but it was something else about this victim that triggered them.

Suddenly someone back hugged him, he knew who it was as they were the only two people living in the home.

He quickly got rid of his cigarette and turned around to hug back Emily.

"Why did you throw away your cigarette, it was still not over." Emily got upset.

Patrick smiled at her reaction, "It seems you are upset I didn't finish off my cigarette."

"Of course I am upset, you look so hot when you smoke."

"You are really weird, girlfriends nag their boyfriends to give up smoking and you keep encouraging me."

"Don't worry, you can occasionally smoke, I'll ensure it doesn't affect your health much."

"Perks of dating a doctor" He kissed her on the forehead.

Emily smiled at him, "You know there are more perks when you date an intelligent woman?"

"Is that so?"

"Yes, she understands you very well when she is smart, like now"

"What do you mean?"

"Something is bothering you, right?"

"Nothing much, just some work."

Patrick didn't want to worry Emily.

"Pat, if you don't share your worries with me, then how can I expect you to share your life with me?"

"Emily"

"Come on Pat, something is bothering you and not just now but for a long time, even during our reunion you got worried about something, what is it?"

Patrick sighed in defeat and decided to tell Emily everything that happened with Rachel in Peebles and the attack and how the guy who is her current crush saved her.

He intentionally didn't tell her it was Daniel as now he knows she and Daniel are colleagues so he decided to let Rachel be the one revealing about Daniel and did not want to take this away from her.

Also he knows if Emily will know about Daniel then she will tell Matthew too and later Rachel would find out about him and Daniel being involved in her case, overall he felt it was better to hide Daniel's identity from Emily.

"Oh my god, so much happened with Rachel and you are telling me now?" Emily was furious with Patrick.

"I didn't want to worry you."

"Patrick, does Rachel know about this recent murder?"

"Not yet"

"Are you kidding me? Isn't this obvious that Andrew and that woman partner of his are the murderers and Rachel's article was found on the dead body, they are obviously a threat to her."

"Yeah, I know, that is why I am trying to catch them but their fingerprints are not in any of the records, luckily the local police in one of the towns were able to get their fingerprints in an old man's murder and we matched with it."

"So, now what?"

"I am not sure what next, they might have already left London and went away to some other place. I am not sure where to find them."

"Pat, I'll do one thing, tomorrow I'll go to the forensic lab and try to get more info on the victim who recently died. If there is no information about the murderers then maybe the information on the victim might help us reach them."

Emily has always been a fan of murder mysteries and that was also the reason why she chose Pathology. She tries to think in the ways other detectives would.

"I know Emily, you think I didn't already do that, the victim's fingerprints too are not in our records, it is like this person never existed before."

"Yeah I understood that, let me go to forensics tomorrow and figure out something."

"Thanks Ems"

"Pat so that day during reunion, when Rachel showed you some message and you got worried it was also…"

"Yeah, that was the reason why I was a bit worried that day and also why I insisted me and Rachel come to the reunion together and leave together."

Emily nodded her head as everything made sense now.

Patrick added, "Didn't I already tell you this when you left after feeling insecure and jealous." He looked into her eyes and caressed her cheeks.

At the reunion itself Patrick cleared the misunderstanding as he knew what she would be thinking about.

"Yeah you did and after that I never doubted you."

"Good"

…

[Thursday]

The next day as promised Emily went to the forensic lab to work with them on the case.

Since she works in the Pathology department it was a normal part of her work to coordinate with the forensics team.

There she again went through all the leftover belongings of Bob, most of his clothes were almost burnt and his body was kept in a mortuary so that when his family would come, they could hand over the body to them.

After some research on his left out clothes, Emily saw the name of the brand his shirt belonged to.

The brand logo was somewhat burnt but with the help of the internet she figured out it was some local brand and was not very popular.

She also determined it was not a local brand of London, she got some hopes and she studied more about it, she was not sure if her unique way of research would lead them anywhere but nevertheless she saw it as a direction and headed towards it.

After a few hours she determined it was a local brand in Poland.

She quickly called Patrick who was working at the police headquarters.

"Hey Ems"

"Pat, I got a clue but I am not sure how helpful it would be" She excitedly told him.

"Every clue is important Ems, what did you find out."

"The shirt that the victim wore belongs to a local brand in Poland, there is a chance that our victim is Polish or in the worst case it is just a random coincidence that he wore a local Poland shirt."

"That is actually a great deduction Emily, this may actually lead us somewhere." Patrick informed her with hope, he didn't say it just to make her happy but it could really be a breakthrough in this case.

"Great, do let me know if this information was of any use."

"Sure"

Then Patrick asked his team to contact the police department in Poland, he then discussed the case with them and sent the victim's fingerprints they found to the department in Poland.

Within an hour Patrick got a call from Poland and they confirmed these fingerprints belonged to one of their citizens.

Patrick sighed in relief as they finally found out who their victim is.

The victim's name is Robert Nowak, a Polish native.

In the next few hours, with the help of the police department in Poland, Patrick got every information on Robert.

He is a well educated man there with a good reputable job, on calling his last office they confirmed that Robert got a job in London with a higher pay and that was the reason he quit his job there and shifted here.

As they were Robert's previous employers they had the information on his new job as he shared it with his colleagues there and even gave some basic information for the records to his old employer, because of which Patrick's job got easier and he got to know Robert was supposed to join as the Personal Manager in the newly opened Elite club in London called 'The Eminent Club'

Patrick and his team contacted 'The Eminent club' but they did not directly ask them the questions as they were being careful about everything so they just asked them as a police routine check-up they wanted a list of their employees and in there they found Robert Nowak's name in it but the surprising fact was, this employee was marked active.

Which meant that the employee was currently working in their club.

Patrick checked the time it was already around 6 pm, so he decided to be patient and act rationally.

He requested the people working in higher ranks at 'The Eminent club' to share their employees profile as it was needed for the investigation of a case and informed them that the real Robert Nowak was already dead and the one working there is a fake.
