Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences147Please respect copyright.PENANAWALFyMhyHM
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat147Please respect copyright.PENANASqOOYfwQAp
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the147Please respect copyright.PENANAwgk714Y8Go
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at147Please respect copyright.PENANAzbkkf0gv94
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On147Please respect copyright.PENANAwX4zuhomvE
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with147Please respect copyright.PENANAh1DpjmfQKM
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the147Please respect copyright.PENANAzcU0vkkUZ6
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone147Please respect copyright.PENANAe5C6Hltzbl
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He147Please respect copyright.PENANALGRCEckxoD
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent147Please respect copyright.PENANAyvqxEONjXw
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in147Please respect copyright.PENANAhXWbs6B3qb
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective147Please respect copyright.PENANAYSMCmdghNt
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a147Please respect copyright.PENANASpKfsuksmu
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two147Please respect copyright.PENANAridRVVto3z
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not147Please respect copyright.PENANA8NbDkuheIu
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”147Please respect copyright.PENANAQcQiHHe0jG
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 how147Please respect copyright.PENANAermKxDwjah
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What147Please respect copyright.PENANAVeax9ASK5F
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 straightened147Please respect copyright.PENANAx4pTclj9Ic
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 her147Please respect copyright.PENANARiGNxQxgyb
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 winter147Please respect copyright.PENANALi3TtJUvmB
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at147Please respect copyright.PENANAKheLKi7eTx
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one147Please respect copyright.PENANAg93kga0lSd
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.”147Please respect copyright.PENANAPjhXCYaQsk
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 meet147Please respect copyright.PENANAgMiw8P2Gct
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could147Please respect copyright.PENANAOvdebry2ZO
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 the147Please respect copyright.PENANAb3bN534Zsg
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 believe147Please respect copyright.PENANAe3MQ8vIMnm
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 it147Please respect copyright.PENANAIwMuMu472c
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
