Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences150Please respect copyright.PENANAVX9QzixALx
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat150Please respect copyright.PENANA4VA19hVdva
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the150Please respect copyright.PENANASBGOA0xboP
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at150Please respect copyright.PENANAk9zlSQzedn
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On150Please respect copyright.PENANAHMqCmvISDN
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with150Please respect copyright.PENANABdAZeNvyFf
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the150Please respect copyright.PENANAUJUj36twDC
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone150Please respect copyright.PENANAXFApCfVpbx
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He150Please respect copyright.PENANA5nglCUQXg9
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent150Please respect copyright.PENANAYRlJAeXrb4
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in150Please respect copyright.PENANA3ufDDhC8ZF
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective150Please respect copyright.PENANA3o5GHiF1wG
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a150Please respect copyright.PENANAFY7A3RUHjk
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two150Please respect copyright.PENANADKbltP3S8C
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not150Please respect copyright.PENANAWXyyh5B7E3
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”150Please respect copyright.PENANAYHS5YDYxHh
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 how150Please respect copyright.PENANA4bqglgqCBn
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What150Please respect copyright.PENANAJBp223mppq
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 straightened150Please respect copyright.PENANALhQTFKzxcz
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 her150Please respect copyright.PENANAhnbDUff2B8
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 winter150Please respect copyright.PENANAV6MuagzRpF
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at150Please respect copyright.PENANAWUY2VUAzI6
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one150Please respect copyright.PENANAPfUqbbeCPQ
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.”150Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ykb7jG3w
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 meet150Please respect copyright.PENANAxdgXlcxfxl
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could150Please respect copyright.PENANANxqXuNrfpa
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 the150Please respect copyright.PENANAfcm0913UFP
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 believe150Please respect copyright.PENANAt7KIdr2219
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 it150Please respect copyright.PENANAZFhXcKszec
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
