Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae3UAGsxIL
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWF8PLH3Y2
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1zDrT8im5
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmsppWZGdJ
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LwcEeVmsk
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqCBuFRqb6
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKfb4CLqK9
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7cGSsXBd6
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAp9WH8SGo
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtllla3xWT
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4vgxCKGtj
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Lh405sYl
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfmGo9AuUO
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJc2rtkFcy
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKfSiPFjNj
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5wxaf22gd
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 how304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaydAJBC4a4
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU1U6kfN7Y
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 straightened304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aIHOe59EE
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 her304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqN1vZLPUU
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 winter304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2un6TVeg2
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlOCiQVmoc
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDBGRK8FzY
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.”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUq2KbxnHn
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 meet304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bh780d1gy
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGMKrk7J1C
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 the304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBSj2HaoDF
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 believe304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcxCWdmHo4
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 it304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uST91MUOM
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
