Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcyOgyRIDm
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyhGAlUyX7
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Td1bhFgo
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6DFhgrj5u
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogobPJf6wb
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqs1apsO6r
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rTR7EE1OE
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KPbenvj2g
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTKpkd8v7
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgr2KtNvdg
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOH2RKIjou
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOxbdYJCh8
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UhQjUc9KB
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhaZPU1t4K
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomQVUM6OeX
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HPk1R1Wjd
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 how254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaZgZcv0fp
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscFSOgGZYX
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 straightened254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepMafIVLzT
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 her254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe1gzsxKTE
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 winter254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDvRvZjdsU
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCjULDqbkD
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHC7B8UYMT
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.”254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5vZMkSSTq
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 meet254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFNUXL5mPA
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvkU4LA2AN
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 the254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz9WGrPAtD
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 believe254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX6FmxV7I0
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 it254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqwtsTqdis
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
