Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRP1DY5Mm0
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z71pvpjqK
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwTN3nru4G
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n4LQyOzd0
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyp0ZpZfqz
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX04TOB0Dpr
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzjyQ0XP5G
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fEA7MukjS
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl5KAgnSZp
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0idX0YnAU
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmAHNR0qnL
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2b61PCUAE
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Q5GQL7LH
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHDkBi84Gx
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGodSoVCPq
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllAKjexEBI
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 how315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtSQNUSrFb
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4np0jOzBn
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 straightened315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksSr4Xue01
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 her315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXpylH0R1v
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 winter315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJ3uhgbHA
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrBX6ArrYI
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX8HJ4QtBl
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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1oaiWqztF
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 meet315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fOW0iJ060
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UeYNxyhRF
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 the315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtkSPBuA2Z
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 believe315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnAANPxdzT
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 it315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5prMS6ka
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
