Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRAtxlDA65
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTqs6vuVTT
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHOpzjVtyR
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrChEKTNKf
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy2XQuWqKv
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAzswiHyKQ
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIYjJzaBho
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoU99zpwAx
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86QZ22QaXI
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPjkegfmKG
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy5g7lgnnE
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvURrrWLTQ
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOSWxOtzZ9
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObhq4dz3gN
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuc4u3mJCI
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaO4sQ3ss5
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 how303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp5eipl2pn
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqq1Kmk2Pw
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 straightened303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFen8eSD6Q
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 her303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsna2biUME
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 winter303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlzpt8UAD
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QBPE73k8r
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i9xVk8OdX
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.”303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2iRFORPa3
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 meet303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0chyOwSHX
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiXIi7oXtf
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 the303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeRcyjAReI
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 believe303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmv33z4vbd
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 it303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpg1dyb6Ok
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
