Chapter 30 - Sunday Brunch

"So are you sure they are the ones involved in the serial killings of old men?" Patrick seriously asked.

"Yes. I am 100% sure" Rachel answered

"Rachel let me check the system"

Then he ran his fingers through the keyboard smoothly and after some time he found the information.

"You are right, two days before you were attacked there was a murder of a rich old man in a town near to Peebles and since last three months there has been no murder until two days back."

"Two days back?"

"Yes, in a town 150kms away from Peebles, a rich old man named Jonathan was found dead. Autopsy said he was murdered with his own gun, the crime scene was cleaned and there were no traces of the murderer or fingerprints. The servants told the cops his fiancee was here and asked them to leave and she is missing now, she seems to have run away."

"There might be some CCTV footage right, we can identify them." rachel asked

"Actually the killers changed their appearances and gave fake names and there is no trace of their presence. Probably, Andrew and Sophia too are not their original names."

"Patrick, can we never catch them?" Rachel got scared.

"Believe me sweetheart, no criminal can escape the law, I'll put the information you gave me and I'll circulate it to all the departments, we will catch them for sure."

"Patrick but I don't want my name involved in it." Rachel knows grandpa would be worried if she gets involved in this mess.

"Don't worry, your information won't be revealed and it will be kept confidential."

"Thank you Pat"

"Are you kidding me? What thank you. Let's all catch up some day"

"All of us? Are you sure?" Rachel again teased him

"Rachel, when you need someone's help you should not mess with them."

"Ok handsome, I have to leave now. Take care and let me know when we are having a reunion"

"Sure"

He went till her car to send her off and after she left the smile on his face turned into a frown and called someone.

"Recently there has been an attack on her, we need to look into it"

....

Sunday

Daniel couldn't sleep well thinking about meeting Rachel again and he was very excited with the thought of seeing her.

After an early morning workout he went for his bath. Then he came out with a white towel wrapped around his waist. Jimmy was sitting on the bed with a grin on his face.

"Hey bro, excited to meet your girlfriend?"

"She is not yet my girlfriend"

Saying this Daniel went towards the wardrobe to select clothes for him, he chose a plain blue t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Woah man, that t-shirt looks plain, wear something else." Jimmy advised.

Then Daniel showed him ten different t-shirts which were all rejected by Jimmy.

"Dude, should I just go naked? What the hell would I wear if you keep rejecting all my clothes."

Jimmy then took out a shopping bag which he hid behind the bed and gave it to Daniel.

"What is this?"

"Open it and see bro"

There was a white round-neck t-shirt in it, the quality was high and it looked pleasant, it was simple yet looked sober. With one look Daniel understood it was not cheap and was rather more expensive than regular t-shirts.

"Jimmy this is very expensive"

"How do you know, it has no price tag." Jimmy asked in surprise.

"I know about brands, why did you buy something expensive, I can't accept it." Daniel gave the bag back to Jimmy.

"Woah man, today is your special day and I know you have no proper clothes, you need to impress my future sister-in-law so I bought it for you with the money I made by acting in the past. Don't insult me by rejecting it."

Daniel felt touched hearing his words and decided to accept the gift, "Thank you but your future sister-in-law is not someone who gets impressed with expensive clothes."

"Yeah but I want her to drool over my handsome brother which might accelerate her feelings and might process things fast."

Daniel laughed at his brother's innocence. Then he dressed up in this white t-shirt and blue jeans and both the brothers went to the living room.

Catherine asked everyone to come for breakfast.

"Mom, didn't I tell you I am going out with my friends for a sunday brunch. So, I won't be having breakfast."

"Oh right." Catherine smacked her head as she forgot.

"Dad, Jimmy you guys come for breakfast."

Grandpa and Jimmy looked at Catherine in surprise and said, "I also told you I am having brunch with my friends and this idiot Jimmy decided to accompany me, how can you forget."

"Oh, I thought you were going for lunch." Catherine got upset as everyone has plans and they are leaving her.

Sensing her mood, Daniel and Jimmy's father Harry patted on her head and said, "Darling let them go, you have me and we rarely get time for each other, let's two go out somewhere today and have fun."

Catherine's mood improved and she agreed but then she worriedly asked, "What about the breakfast?"

Harry called the head servant, "Today you guys have breakfast and enjoy yourselves, me and madam are going out too, we will return back late at night so after having breakfast you all can take a day off today."

The head servant nodded his head and was happy for the day off.

"Daniel, where do you want to go tell me, we will drop you on our way" Grandpa suggested.

"Don't worry grandpa I'll be taking my car, I don't want you to be late, you two carry on." Daniel hesitated but he lied.

Jimmy smiled and was enjoying seeing the ideal son lying to the family.

Catherine and Harry went to get ready for their outing.

Grandpa and Jimmy left for James's place and Daniel left for Rachel's home unknown to themselves they are going to meet soon.
