Patrick was checking in on the store as usual, the schedule of the openings and closings weren’t stable as of yet, but it wasn’t hurting the business short term wise. The store phone rings while he is getting ready to leave out. The call went straight to the messages after the several rings. He checks it as he is about to head out and the voice he hears sends chills down his spine and breaks out in cold sweat as he recognizes it belonging to the stalker who kidnapped and tortured him and is supposed to be in jail right now waiting for trial. He groaned at the memories and shook after the messages, to sum up why the man called was to taunt and frighten the last victim that survived. Patrick did initially agree to show up for court knowing he would have to face his attacker to give his testimony and he almost changed his mind if it weren’t for the resolve to do all he can to make sure the other faces justice for his crimes and has done to the previous victims. With the recording of the message in hand he stopped by the police station and handed it over to the detective in charge of the case.
Heard from the ferryman that Saeki was already on the island and it was a relief to hear that he was trying to reach him by phone on the way to the ferry. Despite how he wanted to seem calm, he couldn’t help anxiously pacing during the ride thinking about how the stalker found about his shop, let alone the number to the phone. Hopefully the man won’t have any future access to a phone to make another attempt to intimidate him. Patrick was one of the first few to get off as soon as the ferry docked then went searching for his fiancée thinking he was nearby. Which he was, on the beach, and Patrick hugged him tightly after getting their attention and approaching them. His expression on his face did give away to his mood and he kept quiet about the reason behind it for now. Just seeing that his beloved is safe and sound is what he wanted his mind to focus on this very moment.
