The old woman dropped her purse, spilling it's contents all over the sidewalk. He rushed ahead to help her stopping short when he saw the gun under the purse. He was startled at first but then stepped up to help her. He collected the items & handed it over to her. She didn't even gave an eye contact let alone a thank you smile & walked away to the east side of the city.
He felt something unusual. First of all nobody would deliberately go down to the east side unless they wanna get hurt.
He knew it wasn't his bussines, but followed the old women.
She walked swiftly & he tried hard to keep up the pace ,hiding on his way so that the old women don't get suspicious.
She stopped abruptly on the street & looked back to see anyone was following her. Then she walked over to a house & knocked. Her left hand was inside the purse & she seemed determined.
A rather big man opened the door. She took a step back, took the gun out of her purse & shot him.
He saw everything from behind the trash can .He wanted to yell but no voice came out. He couldn't believe that he just witnessed a homicide.

The old women rushed back to the street & saw the young man who helped her a few minutes ago. She was sure that he saw what she did. The young man was petrified & she had no plans to scare him.So she took out a newspaper from her bag & handed it over to him. With trembling hands he took the paper from the old lady.
He then watched her swift away to the city.

He was more than terrified when he returned to his home. He didn't had the courage to open the newspaper right away.
He unfolded the newspaper & the heading said " young girl brutally raped & killed, the suspect was found innocent due to lack of evidence"
