Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences130Please respect copyright.PENANADuoUXkibLh
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat130Please respect copyright.PENANAxSQGkWAFct
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the130Please respect copyright.PENANABcKANd5SFS
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at130Please respect copyright.PENANACuS6UY0Px4
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On130Please respect copyright.PENANAUJAMRwdqQM
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with130Please respect copyright.PENANA7G1GBjTvo8
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the130Please respect copyright.PENANAxymUqcFaPt
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone130Please respect copyright.PENANAS2YbMTvFE1
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He130Please respect copyright.PENANAK1BofMqYne
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent130Please respect copyright.PENANAkvn2mIx05C
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in130Please respect copyright.PENANAWRLfaazggB
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective130Please respect copyright.PENANAUQdujg874U
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a130Please respect copyright.PENANA6k7gtlWQyR
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two130Please respect copyright.PENANALAjkRClQZK
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not130Please respect copyright.PENANAKCIIS5jXa7
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”130Please respect copyright.PENANAOhVkXPmth3
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 how130Please respect copyright.PENANAM6DT07xtOW
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What130Please respect copyright.PENANAgb5aq233US
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 straightened130Please respect copyright.PENANAe5GmXj8BkI
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 her130Please respect copyright.PENANA0pQ2YiCQ1h
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 winter130Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Ew9N4S2E
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at130Please respect copyright.PENANA4puUFgBNyO
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one130Please respect copyright.PENANASUQt9s7FSZ
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.”130Please respect copyright.PENANAsNP1K1PUuJ
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 meet130Please respect copyright.PENANAxraKinyUA7
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could130Please respect copyright.PENANAoYr5D7FtRf
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 the130Please respect copyright.PENANAnnD7oGFc4a
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 believe130Please respect copyright.PENANAVb48qroLEq
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 it130Please respect copyright.PENANASCRG580OVe
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
