Chloe knocked on the dark brown double door in front of Lilly. Before she148Please respect copyright.PENANARcQm7g9yWa
opened it, Lilly took a quick glance around the room. She knew some of the148Please respect copyright.PENANAc44RYZJ4Fa
employees she worked with, everything was the same as she left except for the148Please respect copyright.PENANAk6rOs063Q0
long grey curtains hanging by the windows. Chloe opened the door and walked in,148Please respect copyright.PENANAgq37WJBqVy
there was a tall man standing opposite to the conference table faced towards148Please respect copyright.PENANAR6nJsbMSH3
the glass wall. She walked in and stood beside the table, Chloe walked past the148Please respect copyright.PENANAP6HtTunCz8
man and muttered in his ear which made him turn around and glanced at her, the148Please respect copyright.PENANAGnk5yyFPut
man was handsome and looked somewhat in his late-twenties. He wore a black suit148Please respect copyright.PENANALcCto6QH6A
and had a coat in his arms . After a brief conversation with him Chloe called Lilly.
“Lilly this is assistant detective Eric, Eric this is Lilly.” Chloe said148Please respect copyright.PENANAWE3oKoal4w
introducing them to each other.
“Hi! Nice to meet you” Eric greeted Lilly with a hand shake.
“Hi, it's nice to meet you too.” Lilly said while shaking his hand.
“Okay, Um, Lilly I am so sorry....but Eric will accompany you to Byers office.”148Please respect copyright.PENANAcQbvS7OI1s
Chloe said.
“Byers?” Lilly asked
“Byers the senior detective, I told about it on the phone.” Chloe said.
“Hm, okay”
“ I’ll show you the way then.” Eric said waving at the door.
They were on the way to Byers office. Eric took a glance at lilly,
“Why did they call you?” he asked.
“Well according to this senior detective, he thinks I can be helpful on the148Please respect copyright.PENANAirHzT2ybIO
new murder case.” Lilly responded.
“Ahh, Ben Millers case.”
“I didn’t know who it was.” Lilly shrugged.” You’re working on this case?”148Please respect copyright.PENANAvQcQ64x2pO
she asked.
“Yes, but I don’t know anything, that’s why I’m going with you.” He148Please respect copyright.PENANAhUFu8VuCjY
answered.
Eric knocked on the door and entered. There was a man sitting on the chair148Please respect copyright.PENANA64AXyxzw6v
next to the office table, he looked in his mid-fifties. By his facial148Please respect copyright.PENANAuYpjqZP7mS
expression he was really stressed, lilly walked into the room behind eric.
“Sir, Lilly cage.” Eric said informing him her presence.
Lilly shook her hand with him,
“Hi, detective Byers here.” He said.
“ Hi,I am assuming you already know who I am” she answered shaking his hands.
“What makes you say that?” Byers asked.
“I’ve been a detective for a while.” Lilly smirked at him.
“Then I guess you know why you’re here.” He said.
Lilly turned around and started walking towards the table in the centre of148Please respect copyright.PENANAZRhHCverkk
the room. She picked up the shot of the crime scene of Ben miller. She briefly148Please respect copyright.PENANATKA0IZkASm
examined them and then asked,
“Why do you need my help?”
Byers stood against the chair on which he was sitting a while ago his148Please respect copyright.PENANAC8yN40aPvc
hands in his pockets, Eric was standing beside him. They both watched Lilly148Please respect copyright.PENANAHv2rsDIICs
flip and study the shots.
“We want you to work with us.” Byers smiled forcefully.
“Give me one solid reason why I should work with you.” Lilly said slowly148Please respect copyright.PENANAPWtY2kJf6u
while focusing on the evidence.
Det. Byers looked at Eric and raised his eyebrows.
“Det. Byers thinks this case is similar with Stephan Cages case.” Eric said.
Lilly was shocked to hear that, she thought that if whatever Eric was trying to say was true she would have another chance for revenge,for justice actually. She placed the shots on the table and turned towards them,
“You’re saying it’s the same slayer, the case is same?” Lilly asked in148Please respect copyright.PENANAFXJuqh7Joq
confusion.
“Yes….similar.” Eric answered.
Lilly shook her head in disbelief.

Lilly sat opposite to byers,148Please respect copyright.PENANA43V3gQI5m1
148Please respect copyright.PENANAH9cHEoSmUC
“Why do you think it’s the same?”she asked.148Please respect copyright.PENANA0BBX0eI5Ad
148Please respect copyright.PENANAAgCEDmqMwJ
“There are two weapons.”148Please respect copyright.PENANA9qca90dM1K
148Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qe5bG3v0d
“So?”148Please respect copyright.PENANA9Crr15XgtE
148Please respect copyright.PENANAA5nE0fLLvJ
“One was found on the crime scene, the other weapon is still missing. There148Please respect copyright.PENANAVuUfonvFT8
were fifty-six stabbing points with the first weapon and the second one was148Please respect copyright.PENANAGpnK2iBhYB
stick in the victims chest.”148Please respect copyright.PENANA3dPK24joAv
148Please respect copyright.PENANAduDwQvGQOs
“What is the killer trying to show us?” Eric asks standing next to the148Please respect copyright.PENANAlfjBcyMpHK
table.148Please respect copyright.PENANAnWx1x6SYml
148Please respect copyright.PENANAGUeM1b6cp6
“What he wants us to see” Byers said looking at him148Please respect copyright.PENANAn5u9b79WIZ
148Please respect copyright.PENANAejf8qtZvll
“He is running around in circles” Lilly says.148Please respect copyright.PENANAFQZ0jrZF8e
148Please respect copyright.PENANAQKxGSCKHZc
“Exactly” Byers snaps his fingers148Please respect copyright.PENANAsOMSZ4XfMu
148Please respect copyright.PENANATyn011tDVm
“The killer kills a midnight, he has two weapons he stabs the body fifty-seven148Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0ZUrjnEc8
times even if the person dies at the first or fifty-sixth, right?” Eric asks in148Please respect copyright.PENANAU8q4k5Q15k
puzzlement.148Please respect copyright.PENANAMdVPKyNQ1V
148Please respect copyright.PENANAmmrFMzEIBf
“Yes” Byers says clearing his confusion148Please respect copyright.PENANAslWAirxtBa
148Please respect copyright.PENANAtoU9QRGoX4
“Why would he even take the first weapon with him and leave a second one?”Lilly148Please respect copyright.PENANAPhgQTsI2qf
asks looking at Eric and then towards Byers.148Please respect copyright.PENANAj3JMZSmPB7
148Please respect copyright.PENANAzsAmiPpcht
“Does he keep the first weapon as a medal or something, I mean he could take148Please respect copyright.PENANA5urgAhKRjg
the first weapon and not put the second one either, and the sizes of the weapon148Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Z3ZDQyEp
blades are also different.” Eric says.148Please respect copyright.PENANAgWKssXcpcE
148Please respect copyright.PENANAjdeOQkM3jb
“No one knows why he does that.” Byers shrugs.148Please respect copyright.PENANAX1xTvV5qdZ
148Please respect copyright.PENANABjoBZEnvTd
“Are you confident?”Lilly asks.148Please respect copyright.PENANA9JTFKY8pOd
148Please respect copyright.PENANAUr0zf4n7hW
“About what.” Byers says148Please respect copyright.PENANAe3fastkNHE
148Please respect copyright.PENANALtyBxlC4Hr
“That he is the same murderer?” she questions him.148Please respect copyright.PENANABUJSTI4Duo
148Please respect copyright.PENANAJQN7qhrbOi
“All the evidences match to your fathers case, the time, stabbing points,148Please respect copyright.PENANArwD4b0O6qy
two weapons and one missing, and most importantly the pulled out toe nails.”Byers148Please respect copyright.PENANAD9qNOdwO2r
tries to clear her.148Please respect copyright.PENANA2MvhOFoxBF
148Please respect copyright.PENANAJqR9CO9kyO
“What nails?”Eric asks.148Please respect copyright.PENANA4dgOQJF5n9
148Please respect copyright.PENANAXUKh9OE9BW
“The nails of the victims right foot had been pulled out which means the148Please respect copyright.PENANAzecOacy8eE
body has gone through a denailing torture. But what we don’t know is that if148Please respect copyright.PENANA7p3FTKho5O
the killer pulled the nails out before the murder or after.”Byers answers.148Please respect copyright.PENANAa69gyd0txO
148Please respect copyright.PENANAWjjg9b1aJh
“This all is so messed up.” Eric leans back in a chair next to Byers. 148Please respect copyright.PENANAEGHyEg2Y9U
148Please respect copyright.PENANAhftPd7o2vB
“What if there is a reason behind his killing and torturing the people he148Please respect copyright.PENANAT2cpMvFD8a
kills evenly. I mean there can be a reason, killing in exactly the same way148Please respect copyright.PENANAmal6xhsMn5
after four years.”Lilly says.148Please respect copyright.PENANAX1PKDqM4Eo
148Please respect copyright.PENANAwurp5kYaWV
“Maybe.” Byers says.148Please respect copyright.PENANAn2HcWDCVo7
148Please respect copyright.PENANAru6bgdHCM0
Lilly reclines in the chair and let out a sigh. 148Please respect copyright.PENANA9uy7ggqJ1g
