Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences133Please respect copyright.PENANAiGmNRrvVsS
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat133Please respect copyright.PENANAosaOIOOCCC
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the133Please respect copyright.PENANAiF0fSOO0XG
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at133Please respect copyright.PENANAwUoXL20Vwz
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On133Please respect copyright.PENANA3eEcHvn8Ty
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with133Please respect copyright.PENANASbm6Lvwmc5
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the133Please respect copyright.PENANAdfCP7EWRmC
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone133Please respect copyright.PENANAH1wjHMoZ39
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He133Please respect copyright.PENANA9EspYmsTEz
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent133Please respect copyright.PENANAp3TLmERDJ9
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in133Please respect copyright.PENANAKlVMxa76Yz
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective133Please respect copyright.PENANA89fzDZhJUU
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a133Please respect copyright.PENANA3zzLnllBs7
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two133Please respect copyright.PENANA1br7YTvmkG
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not133Please respect copyright.PENANAjCovHNBEoD
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”133Please respect copyright.PENANAJsDxFF4mL8
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 how133Please respect copyright.PENANAR2IgGR2dPC
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What133Please respect copyright.PENANAUrJVZfiKDb
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 straightened133Please respect copyright.PENANA316UesuABH
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 her133Please respect copyright.PENANAdzhiLNmcDw
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 winter133Please respect copyright.PENANAOAOeqFTscY
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at133Please respect copyright.PENANAsK33WODdW7
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one133Please respect copyright.PENANAVw70Hv7y4r
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.”133Please respect copyright.PENANAjwIMCJeXdr
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 meet133Please respect copyright.PENANAfayVZqyHiD
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could133Please respect copyright.PENANAlJp60ZxCgJ
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 the133Please respect copyright.PENANAiPUUkxtGkt
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 believe133Please respect copyright.PENANAQrWzAAxv5I
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 it133Please respect copyright.PENANAIrMxnRG6Tl
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
