Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3HuveiR7k
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzXbiylVEx
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVQ0z4vx3q
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZfufO7Ye
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MOd7btZnK
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYEDnbiS8
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqbPEXquc6
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEY3XfKSYm
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFn8hpwmK2
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVWrLlYdgm
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rniPHe7dX
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoJBOzBARP
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9yiPzF1Dv
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhRX2NidBL
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1NJXNls7a
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPPBFl1Ua8
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 how308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gjChyLfVV
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTa8LeGevv
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 straightened308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChZc0I5TLS
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 her308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcLpjMZygn
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 winter308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCNt6GLbBt
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRD1uCxoLm
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzpRtxFQFR
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.”308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ajYOGgbn
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 meet308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN5ohz6Pc0
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ep56NX8Ob
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 the308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyErGH5OI7
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 believe308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxuqJIETVC
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 it308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BO1rgdoBw
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
