Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences143Please respect copyright.PENANA6I05oVMpT9
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat143Please respect copyright.PENANA44mr9sv8C9
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the143Please respect copyright.PENANAGIDHRxeSr4
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at143Please respect copyright.PENANA0YFClfj52Q
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On143Please respect copyright.PENANAep2Qb1tGuD
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with143Please respect copyright.PENANA4pVa11OUQh
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the143Please respect copyright.PENANANmFYWXTlDh
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone143Please respect copyright.PENANACIm2JyaC0o
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He143Please respect copyright.PENANAPz5cvnLCHs
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent143Please respect copyright.PENANABKtoSeteRH
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in143Please respect copyright.PENANAEKSXccBvWq
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective143Please respect copyright.PENANATTFBZOrPC9
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a143Please respect copyright.PENANAGdanYnjJOR
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two143Please respect copyright.PENANAfHlGF3bOEY
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not143Please respect copyright.PENANAg10hRLSkEf
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”143Please respect copyright.PENANAGq7EQ4eBNb
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 how143Please respect copyright.PENANA0DqsCVZGYE
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What143Please respect copyright.PENANAjbv6rtpyX1
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 straightened143Please respect copyright.PENANAdV4D9gPLgA
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 her143Please respect copyright.PENANAe8JkMIcrAr
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 winter143Please respect copyright.PENANANZCzHtF6TR
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at143Please respect copyright.PENANAC7IN86wIf7
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one143Please respect copyright.PENANAjcqT5FncUo
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.”143Please respect copyright.PENANAF9vhB7uErq
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 meet143Please respect copyright.PENANAH0IGookHCq
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could143Please respect copyright.PENANAg6hWVVqWRZ
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 the143Please respect copyright.PENANAffV2590DcU
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 believe143Please respect copyright.PENANAnhKBZ8TceY
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 it143Please respect copyright.PENANA6YRkjIPuGp
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
