AN:FINAL CHAPTER
Deborah smiles, "The truth is, the whole patrician killer stuff isn't just someone who was out there to avenge the poor and kill the rich, no. The patrician killer was created for vengeance for a crime committed 24 years ago." She stated
"24 years ago, ONE company, a telecommunications company wanted to buy a building belonging to one Howard Jacobs but he refused to sell even when he was offered millions for a hundred thousand worth house" Deborah continued picking up the newspaper and handing it to Ethan who looks at the headline 'man rejects £2.5 million for £100,000 worth house'
"Howard didn't wanted to sell his ancestral family home but the execs at ONE weren't too happy with his decision so they decided to remove him. One day, Howard and his wife were driving back home when a couple of assassins pretending to be highway robbers stop them. They shot both him and his wife who passed away before she was taken to the hospital while Howard survived.
"When his medical bill proved too difficult to pay, they had to put the house on sale. Howard and his wife had one child Alexander Jacobs who was hellbent on proving the highway robbers were actually mercenaries, he decides to become a cop but no matter how many evidence he gathered, it wasn't enough to reopen that case so he decided to take matters into his own hands.
"Alexander Jacobs changed his name to Ethan Issac and asked that he be transferred to another precinct where he worked and build a reputation for himself as one of the best cop there. Then he began targeting all the execs of ONE 24 years taking them down one by one before asking to be transferred again."
Ethan frowns, "Are you done? Nothing you say would get you out of this, we found your blood at Rayleigh's house" Ethan moves to grab Deborah's wrist but Patty takes out her gun and point it towards Ethan, "step away from the lady," she says
"You believe her fairytale?" Ethan taps his pocket but there's no gun, he turns to Patty
"It's not a fairytale Ethan, Deborah have been spending time with you to help with my investigation,"
"Your investigation?"
"Yes Ethan, my investigation of you."
"Really?"
"When i was asked to take over this case, i did lots of research and background check on the elites, everyone of them almost always had an alibi. A while later, you were transferred to this precinct and was put on this case. I was so glad to be paired up with one of the best which was why i quickly agreed when you suggested we throw a party with all of the elites in Golden Hill, i didn't know it was to kill your final target; Delilah Brown,"
"This is ridiculous." Ethan snickers,
"All of the victims of the patrician killer were execs at ONE company 24 years ago. You killed all of them including their loved ones, bodyguards or even their help as long as they were present when you enter the house. I asked myself how you'd be at Golden Hill after 8pm since it was closed to visitors from that time but that's just because you never left. After committing the act you find a place to hide until you could leave again and if anyone ask you could show them your police ID,"
"That doesn't make sense." Ethan says
"Yes it does." Patty stated "When you asked to be transferred over to the station closest to Golden Hill you didn't know you would be placed on this case. You just wanted to be in the station where all the evidence came to so you could easily access and tamper with them.
"Years of solving murder cases have taught you a lot. You weren't going to leave this case open you planned on closing it for good, before murdering Gareth Sinclair you had already planned on making Deborah your fall guy so you tried planting it in me that she was the killer,
"After killing Delilah Brown your revenge plan was complete now it was time to place evidences enough to indict her for your crimes. You already knew she was left-handed like you were and you had earlier stalked her to know that she purchased a glock 19 four months ago which was when you started to use a glock 19. You knew everything about the entire case which was why you acted like you knew nothing to avoid spilling the truth by accident,
"After the party, Deborah went out with her friend Jennifer who saw something about the killer; they were tall and wore a Pearl master 39 watch. Deborah believing her friend might know more about the killer decides to call the police to report the information she learnt, so she called you,
"You weren't wearing a pearl master 39 at the party but that was only because as you stabbed poor Delilah her blood had stained your watch and you had quickly gotten rid of it. After learning that Jennifer might know something about the murderer you knew you couldn't risk it and if she was to say anything it would be bad for you so you decided to kill her. You attacked her as she left the hospital before stabbing her repeatedly, you could easily make it look like Deborah killed her because she thought she knew something,
"Unfortunately for you, Jennifer survived and had seen your face so without thinking, you decided to inject her with morphine. Even if the camera see you walk into the room no one would suspect you for killing her but you were wrong because that was precisely when i began to suspect you. I kept thinking about what you said how 'the killer could be laying down evidence they want you to see rather than what actually is' and that was exactly what you've done all this while, and you did that perfectly until the Jennifer morphine injection. You wanted Deborah to be the one arrested but you just made one big mistake,
"You thought about what you did later on before finally realising you saw Rayleigh walk into the room, you could say Rayleigh was helping out Deborah but after we interviewed Rayleigh, you got a new idea what if you say Rayleigh feels she owes Deborah so she decides to kill Jennifer but when i told you I thought Rayleigh was lying about her conversation, you began to suspect maybe Jennifer said something to her but wasn't too sure but what you didn't know was that Jennifer did say something to Rayleigh she said 'don't trust the detective'
"After the shooting range event, you had finally fabricated a complete story of the event which you narrated to me to convince me Deborah was the killer but when you got back home you thought of how difficult it would be to blame Rayleigh for the murder of Jennifer so you thought of killing her and also Jamie was threatening to hire a private investigator and you knew that a new set of eyes might reveal you were the killer and you couldn't kill more people especially with the last one almost exposing you so you did some research on Jamie and found out he had been smuggling drugs into the country,
"You tracked down one of his workers, Ralph Bronte and threatened him with prison time if he didn't do as you say. Afraid he might go to jail without enjoying the money he had earned, Ralph agrees and attacked both Rayleigh and Deborah. Your intention was for Ralph to kill Rayleigh while you take the bullet meant for Deborah while also taking a small sample of her blood in the process. This was why you wore a bulletproof vest that day. As for the case, you could just say she hired someone who she told to purposely miss her so we wouldn't suspect her
"You knew i was going to investigate Ralph Bronte and find out about the smuggling and that was exactly what you wanted. You wanted Jamie arrested before he could hire a private investigator so when you found out he already hired someone, you asked me if she was good. You decided to conclude the case before her arrival and attacked Rayleigh, except you didn't really wanted to kill her. You wanted her to struggle and attack you so you could leave the blood sample behind which we would later find and declare Deborah the killer." Patty says
Ethan lets out a hysterical laughter "I underestimated you Patty," he says "all this while i thought you would never catch on but you've finally figured it out. You're right, i am the patrician killer." He stated, "but surely if you think i created such complicated plan to frame Deborah you would also at least suspect i have a back up plan," he says before he swiftly disarms Patty and takes her gun
"You'll never get away with this." Deborah says
"Yes i will. Here's what happened: my partner and i go to arrest the suspect but she had a gun which she used to shoot at my partner, i was forced to fire my weapon at the suspect." He says before pointing at Patty, "it's been a fun couple weeks detective,"
Ethan pulls the trigger but Deborah steps in front of Patty. The two ladies fall to the ground with Deborah holding her arm as blood gushes out of it
"You stupid idiot," Ethan says as he levels the gun to Deborah's face
[GUNSHOTS!]
.
.
.
Ethan's eyes widens as he felt the pain of the bullets that hit him. He falls to his knees before turning back to see Officer McKernan holding a gun in his hand. He falls to the ground, lifeless.
Patty rushed to Deborah, holding her in her arms "Deborah, stay with me" she says before turning to Officer McKernan "call an ambulance!"
Two weeks later
"I brought your favorite pizza," Patty says as she walked into the hospital, a box of pizza in her hand
"From Essex Foods?" Deborah asked
"You know it!" Patty says before sitting next to Deborah, "Hey Rayleigh," she says before turning to Deborah, "How are you feeling?"
"Great, i'm gonna need your help with this pizza though,"
"I got it." Rayleigh said lifting the pizza slice to Deborah's mouth
"Thank you for your help, both of you. I don't think i could have solved it without you two," Patty says
"We did nothing, it was all you," Rayleigh says while Deborah chews her pizza while nodding in agreement to Rayleigh
"You helped more than you think. If you guys ever decide to become cops i'll put in a good word for you,"
"No, no wyure cuud!" Deborah shouted causing all three of them to laugh.
"Hey! Did you just took a bite of my pizza?"
"No, i--"
"Give me that box! Go get your own pizza you leech!"
