Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQHA2x6arD
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmnV0166sL
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUpAVDoxTJ
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACbi2LxGPc
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9SVomfQt
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfRgoAV9Eu
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSMTJnK0vn
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoIpzhFwp2
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0axjkt1bo
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a20ekpJub
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtADCcHyQtP
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC6K2v4Lhz
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmp47eRZUL
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzKzie12Aj
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvdPGcdptX
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuncr3BfREV
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 how279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GWRK4odpt
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Re2I0zlKb
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 straightened279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohaq7LK3Bu
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 her279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSwRZxeF8J
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 winter279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX75m6gWpjV
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpoOclC19c
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cj0vmrosK
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.”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzdge2qHS0
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 meet279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7MyoXlYw9
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBT2UI3jEK
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 the279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE17W3BlDF
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 believe279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuoP8x7siJ
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 it279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUULLCodBKc
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
