Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgr9Rft9te
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eWn1UQhMP
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiGPy53C6I
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbUPo4Fcfu
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ3XHKrZMT
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluFVMt4c5p
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpS5SuKcb1
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnxRsmouOz
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyw75XEOoK
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTpvdWaj8b
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTIjJuyuR1
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b48Z9vgpF
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwbzN1Kmoi
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxaARuioZK
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVjW44NJm5
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Xdg7S6tJ
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 how348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvgLYy2Fbb
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f6SKX2BGH
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 straightened348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3102Ksu8o
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 her348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEgOZfQhYQ
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 winter348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43wPAoh5IW
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg27WIyxpq
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eLnoMjOJh
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.”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWujeG1HrDh
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 meet348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce9kzG856J
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoz6cAJ4to
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 the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWlgx3a0aL
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 believe348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M43zn4Lgf
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 it348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WXo51XodA
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
