Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMSA7xmDc5
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLdNT7kISd
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwCnuRCZRU
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkCy2lvNtm
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdlkICJghb
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz4b6ImsqE
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupWLdaYQbq
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW41pdpjo1I
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6M5uFlwzC
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Z37QkGrV
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h9xLkebcu
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK5jFrgn3J
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wwnhqFVLc
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel9C8Ko8qz
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrRnv5ARIP
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRznuLO0hKf
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 how333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iF9p43YI4
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSCP5kqg20
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 straightened333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnAKziT4sl
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 her333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfk96ecicz
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 winter333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfSbWSZXzj
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJOmwMoljD
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEeexsXo97
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.”333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl3s683QV7
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 meet333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGr9MT0gqy
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXWqSeIpk3
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 the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXdgXCwpGe
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 believe333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmu8IA89D4
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 it333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2eS5rr1ae
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
