Chapter 1

I woke up. I was in bed. I stood up. I don’t know where I was. I don’t know anything about myself.

There was an almirah in my room. I opened that almirah and found some clothes and money. I took the money and kept it in my pocket. I went outside. The house was big but was in a very bad condition. I went to the kitchen. There were a water bottle and a packed sandwich. I was thirsty so I drink water. I thought I should go outside. Then I saw another almirah near the door. I thought I should check it. I opened the almirah. There was a drawer. There were a gun and a mobile phone. I took the mobile phone, but I don’t take the gun. I thought it can be risky. Then I went outside. There was a board in which my house number was written. My house number was 24. I walked out of the street and saw that I was in Lakeman Street. I walked in streets and search for someone who knows me. There were many large houses on that street, all were bungalows. Then I saw a man following me. He was following me continuously. I was scared. I don’t understand what was happening with me. Then I saw a restaurant. I thought I should go inside because I would be safe there. I enter in that restaurant. The name of that restaurant was Queen’s Head. I sat there. Then the waiter came and asks my order. I ordered a cold drink. After 2 minutes, the waiter gave me the cold drink. I drink it. I was sitting on the seat near the window. That man doesn’t come inside. Then I decided to go outside. I walked for a minute and then I saw him again. Then I notice that a black car was also following me. That car was moving with that man. I was very scared. Then the phone rang. I pick up the phone, someone said.

‘Where are you?’

‘What, who are you.’

‘Just answer me, where are you and why don’t you take the gun?’

‘Who are you and what’s happening with me.’

‘Why don’t you take the gun?’

‘Why do I need that gun?’

‘Do you think that someone’s following you?’

‘Yes, but what is he trying to do.’

‘He’s there for killing you. Oh, my god. Why did I leave you?’

‘Who are you and what are you saying. Why does he want to kill me? What I have done?’

‘Leave this. Just do as I say. Go back to that house as early as you can and take that gun for your safety.’

‘But I can’t kill someone.’

‘You will have to kill him or he will kill you.’

‘But what is happening with me and why? What have I done?’

The phone cuts. I was very scared. I don’t understand what was happening with me. I thought I should go to the police station. Then I found a taxi; I went to him and told the taxi driver to take me to the police station. Then I saw a man in the mirror, pointing a gun at me. I sat in the taxi and told him to drive fast. He drives very fast. Then I saw, that black car was following us. The driver was also scared. He drives for some time. Then they started shooting on our car. The driver took the car in some streets and drives very fast. Later no one was following us, so he slowed down. We were very scared. Then a car came from the right side and hit our car. Our car gets crashed in an old house. Then I saw that the driver was hurt. He was not able to drive.

Then I heard some people were coming out of the car. They were coming slowly towards our car, pointing a gun on us. I move the driver to back seat and sat on the driver seat. Then I went back and hit them. After that, I start driving straight and come on to the road. Then no one was following us. So I drive to a hospital. I admitted him there. I thought of going to the police station first and came back to this hospital for paying him money. Then I took his taxi and drive to the police station. There was a city map in the taxi. I followed it. After some time when I was driving, I received a call on that phone. That was the man who called me earlier.

‘Where are you?’

‘I am going to the police station.’

‘But why?’

‘I will tell them everything.’

‘Then what will happen?’

‘They will find those people and know who they are and arrest them. ’

‘They can find those people who were coming behind you, but they will never know who sent them. Then more people will come to kill you.’

‘But why, why they will kill me?’

‘You will know it later but now went back to your house and take that gun for your safety. Then I will tell you what to do next.’

‘Why are you helping me?

‘Because I care for you.’

‘Who are you?’

The phone cuts. I was very scared. Then I saw Lakeman Street on the map and thought that I should go there. After some time, I reached there. I took the city map from the taxi. I thought it can be helpful for me later. I went into that street. I remember my house number which was 24. I entered inside. The gate was open. I
