Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeOEipZNkD
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjubmgXoNqH
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxgeU0rnZo
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3JbGJrvXX
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIcPZ3AstA
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtuvnhFPMH
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMmQx3KjPS
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgtpKHeJ9G
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoMhx20bVI
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx7duJGrlA
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYaXVe88vW
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWcZAxBzD7
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIMvRJnz5w
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX4b3XTVhz
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfstb0PHSM0
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKfCF7b8NV
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 how281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT2R6WxCgp
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6IMcYOul3
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 straightened281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkrUTe6sgi
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 her281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ4koK3WXf
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 winter281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5rQumq3o0
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHw4RByqM2
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAsFAbXmMw
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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2gBAbGYyB
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 meet281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6dpDt1e9J
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFkPrgTLd0
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 the281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYVhNGH8AX
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 believe281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMYreC6mLD
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 it281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTbIE11Yo8
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
