Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences149Please respect copyright.PENANAI9O7yXW5b9
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat149Please respect copyright.PENANAnOzISL3WRF
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the149Please respect copyright.PENANAEiSEVMkUKB
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at149Please respect copyright.PENANAL4OD0on9ML
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On149Please respect copyright.PENANAaZOSnkgImc
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with149Please respect copyright.PENANAfQAwVadF3m
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the149Please respect copyright.PENANAoFQYiAFGca
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone149Please respect copyright.PENANA2N6de9Alqr
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He149Please respect copyright.PENANAoSu7r7fQUc
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent149Please respect copyright.PENANAyo0BoYnmqH
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in149Please respect copyright.PENANAhs79I3AFaL
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective149Please respect copyright.PENANAvJiRQzndwV
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a149Please respect copyright.PENANAEl7QAg3j0e
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two149Please respect copyright.PENANAsztePiW8vv
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not149Please respect copyright.PENANAfgVoVwxvLN
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”149Please respect copyright.PENANAQeUAOrcsBN
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 how149Please respect copyright.PENANA3NqdzejdB7
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What149Please respect copyright.PENANA2RInYmSvm3
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 straightened149Please respect copyright.PENANAOthI2hK0Oh
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 her149Please respect copyright.PENANAFffic92RmM
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 winter149Please respect copyright.PENANAl5gqN9RusH
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at149Please respect copyright.PENANAKQAyjCYt75
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one149Please respect copyright.PENANAEV4fLULkvX
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.”149Please respect copyright.PENANAqkZqBz6QUs
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 meet149Please respect copyright.PENANA3POG77gd9P
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could149Please respect copyright.PENANAQJMJfNrUjZ
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 the149Please respect copyright.PENANAJXdAoYbXz3
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 believe149Please respect copyright.PENANAeRx7GpLgn6
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 it149Please respect copyright.PENANAeCSAW0Dsec
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
