Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences144Please respect copyright.PENANAqPMXFQBqYi
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat144Please respect copyright.PENANAJW9BVsVsvr
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the144Please respect copyright.PENANAlZV4219LLu
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at144Please respect copyright.PENANAPePyg0diJ3
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On144Please respect copyright.PENANAa95E6Zf0rm
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with144Please respect copyright.PENANAhEcJUKuM0L
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the144Please respect copyright.PENANAArqfUuHGZG
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone144Please respect copyright.PENANAoFMaQsYw9c
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He144Please respect copyright.PENANALLdpgv8vtz
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent144Please respect copyright.PENANAS3try5OyTx
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in144Please respect copyright.PENANA2UDCy1jeeI
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective144Please respect copyright.PENANAYp45EBNfQj
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a144Please respect copyright.PENANAEXfE88oiHT
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two144Please respect copyright.PENANAiXq8AH4oCy
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not144Please respect copyright.PENANAxXZwCyZhQo
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”144Please respect copyright.PENANAgR277B9Qri
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 how144Please respect copyright.PENANAqwvBJCmbq4
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What144Please respect copyright.PENANAaGE2pWQTjY
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 straightened144Please respect copyright.PENANAFsC2PAPKo7
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 her144Please respect copyright.PENANAnedWwdu9zE
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 winter144Please respect copyright.PENANAvcwOObcLaD
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at144Please respect copyright.PENANAA9snJEaWj3
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one144Please respect copyright.PENANAmBbie3hgHc
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.”144Please respect copyright.PENANAQNSMWroet4
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 meet144Please respect copyright.PENANA13eQ7UFyMO
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could144Please respect copyright.PENANAINqBgObrjf
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 the144Please respect copyright.PENANAq1Bz6t7V11
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 believe144Please respect copyright.PENANAKolEFzxogF
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 it144Please respect copyright.PENANA0hTDsFjWfp
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
