Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences134Please respect copyright.PENANAFFyCvlX3KG
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat134Please respect copyright.PENANAVATW3I2wtl
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the134Please respect copyright.PENANAfyHxs67WBO
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at134Please respect copyright.PENANADNTUcx6JA9
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On134Please respect copyright.PENANAxo5u5qiaQ9
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with134Please respect copyright.PENANAjwd9ltHa3e
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the134Please respect copyright.PENANA1heLpJHMYV
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone134Please respect copyright.PENANAXx6XmlDRJ6
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He134Please respect copyright.PENANA8ugN5pbJt0
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent134Please respect copyright.PENANAvdik5Lr0eG
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in134Please respect copyright.PENANA2xpZCOfoke
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective134Please respect copyright.PENANAXrpFVlCV90
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a134Please respect copyright.PENANAHZTuMUFaYf
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two134Please respect copyright.PENANApTnlQd54Eh
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not134Please respect copyright.PENANAIM54yUrGAk
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”134Please respect copyright.PENANAOy8kSt3Rqq
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 how134Please respect copyright.PENANAwJDdS7mSNR
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What134Please respect copyright.PENANAtknlQ89zVw
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 straightened134Please respect copyright.PENANACHKKT5R7Yt
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 her134Please respect copyright.PENANAwxMLn5MwbJ
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 winter134Please respect copyright.PENANApSjKSJwRhN
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at134Please respect copyright.PENANA138FMF8wAa
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one134Please respect copyright.PENANAHH9zBzCRjJ
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.”134Please respect copyright.PENANAvz8vRcLJiP
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 meet134Please respect copyright.PENANATFzNKkGHpa
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could134Please respect copyright.PENANALhFsND8ERl
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 the134Please respect copyright.PENANA7d1ItvhMYu
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 believe134Please respect copyright.PENANAQu3wZvQx2T
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 it134Please respect copyright.PENANAP5LW7BX8pS
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
