Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences126Please respect copyright.PENANAPJgkECGxfi
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat126Please respect copyright.PENANAX0R3pcsI3b
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the126Please respect copyright.PENANAEyGeyQ6eLR
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at126Please respect copyright.PENANAL8FjE91sUE
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On126Please respect copyright.PENANAAQUzGsBj0w
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with126Please respect copyright.PENANAzFFOcBhR5z
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the126Please respect copyright.PENANAUaktSLBSDr
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone126Please respect copyright.PENANAOMpO35QeV4
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He126Please respect copyright.PENANABXPYCWpy5Z
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent126Please respect copyright.PENANA65I3FYBhRy
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in126Please respect copyright.PENANALkdROy7MUd
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective126Please respect copyright.PENANAsZztsVcRji
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a126Please respect copyright.PENANAP4lKAHvIJO
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two126Please respect copyright.PENANAnAdjEJpSsL
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not126Please respect copyright.PENANAQXf0i8J6Dw
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”126Please respect copyright.PENANARpZ3VufqUw
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 how126Please respect copyright.PENANA7aOcmy4qfO
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What126Please respect copyright.PENANALwQ6wK9MPf
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 straightened126Please respect copyright.PENANArLilpc31Al
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 her126Please respect copyright.PENANAtjeNKO4hdA
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 winter126Please respect copyright.PENANAAZIoc4S9ba
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at126Please respect copyright.PENANAG9ulWwf8iH
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one126Please respect copyright.PENANANesX0KZnr2
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.”126Please respect copyright.PENANAqvrs1zq09J
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 meet126Please respect copyright.PENANAqyMleuSF1x
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could126Please respect copyright.PENANAldAbd6clPT
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 the126Please respect copyright.PENANAjGtlSmaInG
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 believe126Please respect copyright.PENANARG2hSgS0gz
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 it126Please respect copyright.PENANAzDNnlJj4zp
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
