Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnC179UNdK
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNGfiNnGaS
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTuQMojpEU
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4fxcanGTx
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xjxaI8fXl
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIroIwOJ35w
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRyUoQNLTq
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKkUkpQmSS
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMrhLcmXT2
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifT6QvOTdH
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoryZxTd1P7
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJerRZxDkh
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGlY9GMWxJ
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgkQ7mpCj5
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCIrYn6Tp
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlbLhksEJ3
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 how336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmdt7E3YEV
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFxXLxL3Yw
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 straightened336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuGaQufsDB
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 her336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOkg0OmZ7T
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 winter336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElMDGhNIRs
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRBnw6nVQc
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSidmCEMxk
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.”336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7u5p0nFqd
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 meet336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tzgqJ5sG3
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqHzzyabZu
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 the336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFtiQ14zEG
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 believe336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxel3bWOgi
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 it336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz4duEEqRR
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
