Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9oXVgckLD
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHizCIfZFiM
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2mg7WIfse
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuLZTWwbG8
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDKziebM8a
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhHRFKh7J
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZyEtaieb
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFrj5WZ3kw
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiMokF9wmy
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZK7jqcyv2
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqtXw5gNdM
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zfLYwh2go
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJfyD4NPYN
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFA84Y9w6Q
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsM7Xb1nrX
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhpovkWXR8
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 how347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM6OGUcBrx
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgFg88ACTt
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 straightened347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUZXdVmGz
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 her347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEvugjgzn2
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 winter347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvswkLlmkQ
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsxbhBQuik
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuxddMHIas
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.”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkB9WQ3odk
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 meet347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd8iNUVFtb
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nCXTXzXTc
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 the347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvQCSgv8Im
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 believe347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyWTSoqolY
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 it347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLbm1kp8D
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
