Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuukImbsU0
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwjKPDOHRz
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7dRSez0Z3
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiHxTtWApx
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGlEj6ywPU
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAnMV5ybwW
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ooe4dqRBP
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ5fh5rjiu
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTastnVzjP
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACGxR7gtYd
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMFAlWIIKV
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJX7vSL12f
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD9C0r94X2
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx033Fvk4f
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLkVQPT3Kw
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sbp5SWfTK
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 how272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ8e7UOGhm
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBbhXKxApy
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 straightened272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ9YEgrcdS
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 her272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdODtgQZkc
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 winter272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bo9H1yvks
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ilD7k87L
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH483Yy5w4
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.”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ72aRTmhh
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 meet272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyQZ1I1cYL
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aIUqv2xAU
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 the272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCuaCSRX4U
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 believe272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ACXaDVqLE
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 it272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX63GXY0UOP
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
