Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhUcYxhA9Z
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUlpQT73gN
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbFp0T5Y8E
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXscSoS8I0S
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx1LLdvLzU
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnttntfnrOT
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPn5DSm2Mk
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK9KIgNeWI
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZf4YgbFnL
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMKEsSkaAl
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ChNkPtSP
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQjES75Q2a
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wXwRbJGRc
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060dchvEU4
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGUVwD8Or4
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6g45lX3lB
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 how264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BBewDcZ1M
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNOn3C6uKD
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 straightened264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGNYSziV9D
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 her264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2osK6ewEY
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 winter264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8UygHRlb3
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9a89lcpSe
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWOxhZxaDQ
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.”264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLk9FjAxvv
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 meet264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsaSkS52yi
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhUucvScE
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 the264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCSQ6S9TAD
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 believe264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5zNaFYuee
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 it264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHop3EFnzC
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
