Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFccE7JwTk
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfNgBb5g5f
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0VK8s7bk
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAKgk6VJ2h
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr1w76sGFD
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9htWdJlGk
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWVvrkSkmM
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc8N5Yk88A
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNmohFq5j
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKBSsXCmF
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNCmhYskfu
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84RAk5hK8P
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPFyaXn010
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddnryCn7I
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKF1zKKAkn
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc1I0ZcHr5
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 how265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9K2JwuzF
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVcE1J7vib
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 straightened265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPF10tPR2b
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 her265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoIGvkG8jy
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 winter265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN0OmKyFKh
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5lR4nRL4s
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGufLtJz9dU
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpAWp3aLVL
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 meet265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TVaBQjt7Y
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7PjqvCUC5
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 the265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A3kc6tkob
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 believe265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1zjVwwh7X
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 it265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWosJMZWPA
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
