Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences142Please respect copyright.PENANAQyc9Qjqo65
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat142Please respect copyright.PENANA1Iq9K8NESP
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the142Please respect copyright.PENANAQAzFrF99s4
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at142Please respect copyright.PENANA6OXgN6FcVH
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On142Please respect copyright.PENANAwRnp4Zd9Ey
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with142Please respect copyright.PENANAHzURrlHY7B
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the142Please respect copyright.PENANAwMnY5st1DW
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone142Please respect copyright.PENANAeIGemwDbsV
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He142Please respect copyright.PENANA8rXNV3u4RU
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent142Please respect copyright.PENANA1mx3EZqWP9
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in142Please respect copyright.PENANAuCkLG1uXua
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective142Please respect copyright.PENANAS3GncPuDSR
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a142Please respect copyright.PENANARTZal1XzZW
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two142Please respect copyright.PENANAI993g6JT17
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not142Please respect copyright.PENANA7fIZ15h6Ed
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”142Please respect copyright.PENANADb8V4vwmkX
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 how142Please respect copyright.PENANAIZpKqtDrfC
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What142Please respect copyright.PENANAWzJxVcYeiO
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 straightened142Please respect copyright.PENANAeDU7MOnasD
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 her142Please respect copyright.PENANAH9T4ospRvk
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 winter142Please respect copyright.PENANA4zlKVl18KN
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at142Please respect copyright.PENANA9sMuQd9xAV
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one142Please respect copyright.PENANAHoIwm5cLeP
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.”142Please respect copyright.PENANAMDR6nxKDOW
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 meet142Please respect copyright.PENANAsiKBKEziBw
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could142Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ0JhOu7Fu
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 the142Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sj29ON2Nh
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 believe142Please respect copyright.PENANAjEhNVQm8sD
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 it142Please respect copyright.PENANAUovZ8TcA8D
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
