else too. We have sent out notices to different stations in Denmark regarding
this. That is when I remembered you, Clark. I remember when you came

here to work with us on that fugitive case, you told me about that robbery in
your town that happened like a few years ago, and how the cops were not able

to find the guy who did it. I asked around some folks I knew in Greenland
and those who knew about the case told me that some cop named Henrik was

leading the investigation at that time.”

Clark froze for a minute as the realization hit him. Clark remembered that
case. It was 2 years ago, but he was not part of the case. Now he knew why

Finneas was quiet. Finneas Henrik. That was his friend’s full name. And that
robbery from 2 years ago was one of Finneas Henrik’s biggest shame.

Finneas still remembered that case. Every nuance of it was etched into his

brain. As he went out for a walk, Clark explained the situation to Mads. Mads
was right. “It was just a robbery.” That is what even he thought initially, but

it turned out to be one of his biggest failures. Finneas looked up at the sky
wondering about fate. After 2 years, that case had come to haunt him. He did

not believe in the existence of a God, but this fateful encounter with his past
made him question the divine. Finneas went back inside the station. Though

the investigation of this case was anticlimactic 2 years ago, Finneas was deter-

he walked back.

The three of them sat to exchange information about the case. Finneas re-

have been an ex-employee who had a bad history with the bank, but they
could not navigate anyone like that. The only evidence that they were able

to find from the kiosk was the needle of a lock picker. It had a blue handle
and a design carved on it. But that did not get them anywhere since it was

evident that the suspect used a gas cutter to burn through the ATM. Finneas
and Clark along with Mads decided to work the case. It was still too early to

conclude that the robberies were connected, but the three of them did not
want to give up the possibility.

For the next few weeks, Mads, Clark and Finneas along with Cooper discussed

the case. The ATM was busted open using a gas cutter, and it was done care-
fully so as to not hinder the cassettes of cash inside. The suspect entered the
