Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences140Please respect copyright.PENANAlJlr4Eokwk
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat140Please respect copyright.PENANANFpHDQXlOs
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the140Please respect copyright.PENANAVDKsHD8iQ3
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at140Please respect copyright.PENANA41h6MFdSpA
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On140Please respect copyright.PENANA8fk6JlPiN9
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with140Please respect copyright.PENANAR4BeCzAwyQ
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the140Please respect copyright.PENANAOW0k8Fi6iY
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone140Please respect copyright.PENANAibUiHJSZw7
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He140Please respect copyright.PENANAhEMf8wRIDh
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent140Please respect copyright.PENANAbgYJnN1yDf
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in140Please respect copyright.PENANA7RVA44sK9r
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective140Please respect copyright.PENANAGj5HfHZYoi
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a140Please respect copyright.PENANAZE3FWgx6eK
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two140Please respect copyright.PENANAWKVHllgnN0
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not140Please respect copyright.PENANAEKrmCFGVQp
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”140Please respect copyright.PENANAlh0ILKtgr1
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 how140Please respect copyright.PENANA5BTxAe8c3M
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What140Please respect copyright.PENANAP3tfJjwbDY
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 straightened140Please respect copyright.PENANAZktvcq7cor
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 her140Please respect copyright.PENANAXvt7Z8CHCS
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 winter140Please respect copyright.PENANAQt1cU1f1my
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at140Please respect copyright.PENANAkh9qItpkAR
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one140Please respect copyright.PENANA0KCzKujs3D
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.”140Please respect copyright.PENANAVNOXPJGSLx
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 meet140Please respect copyright.PENANAJvqH0lqIml
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could140Please respect copyright.PENANA4ehYmpT9Zb
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 the140Please respect copyright.PENANA0RNXJYlGB3
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 believe140Please respect copyright.PENANAP1iZwBfQuY
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 it140Please respect copyright.PENANAfzrEszTgUn
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
