I Am You, I Am Me, Will Somebody Set Me Free?

PART 1 - LOOKING AGAIN.

Lilly Rush was at her desk, doing some paperwork along with her partner, Scotty Valens, when they were paged by their boss, Tom Stillman.

"What do you need us for?" asked Lilly, in a curious tone, when they reached the basement.

"Lilly, Scotty, meet Catherine Sorsey." Stillman answered. "17 years old, murdered in a theatre in 1985, and as obvious, never solved."

"Never say never, boss." Scotty answered.

"But why has this case been given to us just now? Is it because it's from 20 years ago?" Lilly asked.

"Well, this is kind of complicated to answer." Stillman took a breath, then continued "You see, Paul Rowles died in September 1985, pushed under a train; cold case. But last week, Paul's twin brother, Jacob, went to the cold case unit in Boston, where he now lives, and asked for the case to be reopened and solved. To make a long story short, he was Sorsey's boyfriend, and one of the suspects in her case. So, we're reopening this too."

"Hm, interesting." Lilly said. "So, I think we should compare notes with the Cold Case unit from Boston, too."

Stillman nodded. "You will do that when you'll get there. You have already two seats booked on the 18:00 flight to Boston. Well, three. Agent Douglas Mabry has worked on the Sorsey case for six years, before having to finally give up, and he'll come with you to Boston." Then he gave the box to Scotty. "Take her with you."

Scotty and Lilly left with the box.

"So, what about all the witnesses?" Scotty asked.

Lilly picked up the witness statements as she sat down to her desk. "Hm… It seems there was only a witness, a Lucy Arnold…" Lilly looks up the name in the town database. "But she died two years ago, Cancer."

"Well, maybe we'll have better luck with Boston." Scotty replied.

"I hope so." Lilly said, as she looked at the picture of the young girl, who had light brown hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen. "I really hope so."
