Music: "If today was your last day" by Nickelback
Jenny Danner was walking toward her car while talking on her cellphone.
"OK, Amy", she smiles. "I'll do that. Sure. Alright, gotta go. Bye."
She put her cellphone in right pocket of her jeans and continued walking toward her car, parked just few feet away on parking lot near by.
In the same time, only half mile away, Katy Q walked into the cab parked in front of the diner only half mile away, sitting on back seat and closing the doors behind.
"Can you drive me to Elm Street 25, please?", she asked.
"Sure", cab driver Adam Davis nodded and started driving.
"So... coming home from work?"
"Yes. I usually use a bus because my car is broken right now, but I missed it today", she explained. "But it's easy for you", she chuckled. "Your car is your workplace
"Only, when my car breaks, I don't have either", Adam chuckled.
"I would like to be so relaxed while on work. I work as High school English teacher. You have no idea what I see sometimes."
"No doubt about that", he said. "I am cab driver for twenty years, but I wouldn't want to do any other job. This is pretty peacefull job actually."
At that moment, Jenny Danner's car, blue Volvo, driving toward right track of the road, drove in front of them, suddenly, without stopping. Kate screamed. Adam tried to avoid collision, but it was too late. His car hit the into Volvo, and air bag deployed, punching him in a face and knocking him unconsciousness. Katy almost hit with her head in passenger seat, but seat belt prevented that (although injuring her shoulder in process). His car kept driving and pushing the Volvo till Volvo hit a phone pan, hitting few other cars and causing few other collisions on the way. Katy and Adam survived, but Jenny wasn't so fortunate. Air bag in her car didn't deploy, she hit with her head against steering wheel, and died instantly due to severe head trauma.

Kat and Lily were walking down the hallway, talking.
"Can you believe that we didn't have a case in almost two weeks?", Kat asked.
"Yes", Lily agreed. "It's weird. But it's also pleasant. More peacefull. I hope it will stay that way today."
"Why? You have plans today?", Kat commented. "A date?", she said under her breath.
Lily started thinking what to say. She actually planned to go out with Ryan that night, but she wasn't sure does she want others to know about that.
"Excuse me..."
Lily turned around and saw teenage boy standing in the hallway, holding piece of paper in his hands.
"Yes?"
"They told me here is the for re-opening cold cases... can I talk with you?"
"Sure", Lily nodded, still a bit confused. "Uhm... follow me."
She lead him toward her office.
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
"And you came here... all by yourself?"
"I am currently staying at my uncle and aunt... they are at work right now and I really don't want to stress them out by leading them here... my family suffered enough."
Lily nodded her head. Once they walked on front of her office doors, she opened the doors and aloud him to come in, then she walked in too, closing the doors behind. She sat at her table, and boy also sat at that table, opposite to her.
"I'm Jonny. Jonny Danner. My sister, older sister, Jenny Danner... she was killed in car accident year ago. She was twenty four years old."
"I'm sorry to hear that", Lily said, compassionately.
Jonny nodded silently before continuing. "Her car speed in front of the cab. Police said it was an accident. Nobody was prosecuted. Case closed."
"And you don't think that was an accident?"
"I did... but... week ago..."
"What happened?"
Jonny took a deep breath before answering.
"My other sister... Amy Danner... Jenny's identical twin sister...was also killed in car accident. Week ago. While driving her car on a same road where first accident happen. In aproximately the same time. On anniversary of Jenny's death. Cab was involved in accident. The same cab like that which crushed into Jenny's car year ago. And both times, it was driven by same cab driver, carrying the same pasanger."
Lily glared at him in disbelief.
"I'm telling the truth! You can check it. Again, they ruled it as an accident. Nobody arrested, no further investigation. They say that all those similarities are nothing more than tragic coincidences. Do you believe all of that was coincidence? I know that I don't."
"I need to agree that all those similarities seem too much for coincidence... but I'm not sure can we re-open the cases only on that ground."
Jonny leaned closer to Lily, his eyes waterlx, trying not to cry and to control upcoming shivers in her voice.
"Look... my mother died from leukemia three years ago. Both of my sisters are dead. I am currently staying with aunt and uncle because my father is still in hospital after trying to kill himself by sliting his wrists only an hour after Amy's funeral. So, please... Can you at least try to re-open it? Please. That's the only thing I'm asking you. The only thing."
Lily swallowed hard, trying to think of an answer.
"I... I'll see what I... what we can do... but I can't promise anything."
Jonny nodded his head.
"I know", he said. "Thanks anyway."
"You're welcome."
