Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences125Please respect copyright.PENANAimmJFx0hUC
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat125Please respect copyright.PENANADjx1mTSoCe
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the125Please respect copyright.PENANAcXdQ0nodnK
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at125Please respect copyright.PENANArY1buBADKM
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On125Please respect copyright.PENANABU3fjLHBLw
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with125Please respect copyright.PENANAb077nSqEBS
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the125Please respect copyright.PENANAhU9LuP5Qpb
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone125Please respect copyright.PENANAN98XwChKuG
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He125Please respect copyright.PENANAWsPrkVkZLz
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent125Please respect copyright.PENANAy0RZviaJY3
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in125Please respect copyright.PENANAob4iTB0TZI
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective125Please respect copyright.PENANAwsw18XaWw6
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a125Please respect copyright.PENANA0EqmIjhJyR
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two125Please respect copyright.PENANAeE2HI8GjKP
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not125Please respect copyright.PENANAjKJs2WuPrm
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”125Please respect copyright.PENANARUYSmthcJc
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 how125Please respect copyright.PENANARwfOjGiepy
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What125Please respect copyright.PENANAzT4xnZ11Ge
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 straightened125Please respect copyright.PENANART9vW4NdqD
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 her125Please respect copyright.PENANAaOcdY3eFJK
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 winter125Please respect copyright.PENANAgbb3hJkhXi
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at125Please respect copyright.PENANAhaWvxEOfXr
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one125Please respect copyright.PENANASz0aDVRGJz
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.”125Please respect copyright.PENANALpRxLWAeld
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 meet125Please respect copyright.PENANAG54g7C251i
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could125Please respect copyright.PENANAWT0PnqeFBw
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 the125Please respect copyright.PENANAo4NAUZw7ux
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 believe125Please respect copyright.PENANAFJtkHmo5dB
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 it125Please respect copyright.PENANAiEdUGOYrxP
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
