Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoQOej6WTc
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT0hPIiuk7
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgdfEHq4SD
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFKGgFAH3C
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc6NzkaNP6
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHy0Vf7oYf
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4fLa3HCnm
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL3CgLN9E0
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE54dsOgXZj
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60QWaAA7JS
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY06kBFR0Zz
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w76tITZZG
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsZZGTsb83
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6op8Ypo4T0
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsLlYzM8u0
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ8BK8Q74E
he frowned at the screen, “I don’t know why but these cases look alike”
“Yes, we worked on it two years ago.” she said studying the files, “but how302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8uwHbD360
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt8lJjZSAl
was her name?”
“Lilly Cage.” she said facing towards him.
“hm…run a background check on her, let’s see what she’s got.” he straightened302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yit2QrlMM
back and left the door open.
“No shit!” she said to herself and heaved a sigh.

Mike stared Lilly for a while and said,
“I really, really need your help this time.” he said as he held her hands.
“Mike, I can’t” she wept, “you know what happened to dad.”
“Whatever happened, it was not your fault” He said wiping away her tears.
There was a long silence, Lilly sat looking at her hands and thinking about her302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrmp6Rv9AJ
father. Mike was on his knees watching her breath slowly.
“I want to go home.” Lilly sniffled softly.
“Hm , I’ll take you home.” he said concernedly.
Lilly rolled down the car window. She closed her eyes and felt the winter302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3009wmuPhB
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nRz3MJ2z7
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnIjhXrqWB
again. Lilly’s phone ranged,
“Hello?” she said into the phone.
“Hi Lilly!” the caller said.
“Chloe?” Lilly said in amazement, “it’s been so long”
“I know right, you me working together, it literally feels like yesterday.”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFvJSr21gw
Chloe said warmly, “why don’t you think about returning.”
Lilly’s face dropped, “Chloe, let’s not start this topic.”
“Well it doesn’t seem like you have a choice.” Chloe said.
Lilly frowned, “what do you mean?”
“I mean that detective Byers who is here from California, he wants to meet302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiawAVsVNfJ
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV10XZHzOQy
be a little helpful.” She replied.
“Helpful for what?” Lilly asked in confusion.
“You don’t know” Chloe said.
“No?” she said still frowning.
“There’s a murder in town.” Chloe informed.
“What!” she exclaimed.
Lilly hung up on the phone and turned towards mike, she was shocked by the302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCkzU6hMMT
news Chloe gave. Mike stopped the car and faced Lilly.
“What happened?” he asked curiously.
Lilly looked at her phone and then at Mike, “Murder” she said trying to believe302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP1unnM0O1
what she heard.
Mike peered at her, “What?” he asked.
“There’s a murder.” Lilly responded.
Mike swore under his breath and leaned against the car seat.
“She said that the detective wants to meet me regarding dads slayer. Can it302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytf9zZJR0O
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
