Earlier that day, the well dressed man was returning from work. He was happy enough to sing his favourite song loudly. That's because he got his monthly salary that day. He had many plans how to spend the money. He thought he could finally buy a new dress. He is sick of wearing the dress he borrowed from his neighbour. He went through an alley as usual to go home because that's the faster way. The alley connects two main streets. Usually it will be crowded, people passing by so it will be safe of local street thugs. But in a metropolitan city like this crime is unexpected and common thing. Since it was a cloudy day the streets were empty , so were the alleys. Just when he was in the middle of the alley two guys came out of nowhere. One of them whispered with a knife in his hand :
" don't speak a word , put your hand in your pockets , give me everything you have there!"

With injured face and blood stained coat and empty pockets he came out of the alley after 15 min. He can barely walk. He saw a bench in the park across the street, he went towards it. He sat on that bench. He noticed everyone in that park was disturbed by him. He knew everyone was talking about him. But he could barely move. He thought someone will help him. A kid came to him and said
" Here, this will help!" and gave him a band-aid. The band-aid was too small to cover any wounds on his face. He had a blood stain on his hand. He pretended like it was an injury and applied the band-aid there. The kid ran away even before he could thank him. The kid went and sat and watched the other two kids fight each other. Yes Jack and Elena started to fight again. The man went out of the park. He raised his hand and shouted "taxi...."
