Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxopHOO2teO
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe3jYtpvj6
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu9XZw5ZwW
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFdi9B8093
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4NumRCCSS
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDplURp5R4d
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX43iTwjn6p
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rm0OTCSp3
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVktwRkyrmF
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjYPgt8aHT
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDnnb89PF6
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhVcbijacv
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LGcH3FKgz
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt5QGn9AAm
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ndZu5Bwv
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeYFvZDYIP
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 how261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoKr8ojGMA
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXmPXlzcik
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 straightened261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoCIFUzaIw
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 her261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQr7mHukId
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 winter261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKaLhAer1F
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDOno9xjXp
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYulrKRXIK
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.”261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKZPw9Moia
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 meet261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UQ0iWBeAN
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRvGVuZwSD
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 the261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu7sr577Gy
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 believe261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuhrrarhYV
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 it261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KUr7BM9Hi
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
