Sophie was walking down a deserted forest route peacefully while humming a song. She was walking on a deserted route because it was a daily thing for her and was the shortest route to her house.

"Bang!Argh!" Just as she turned to enter an alleyway she heard a gunshot and the scream which followed. Flustered, She hid behind a tree inside the forest.

A few moments later, a man barely 30 years old came running out of the alleyway with one of his legs bloodied.

"Argh! Someone, please help me! These guys will kill me. Help! Please Help!." The man shouted until his voice became hoarse.

'The police, Yes let's call the police.' Sophie thought as she took out her phone and put it on silent then dialed 100.

"... beep." The number couldn't connect as there was no network on her phone.

"Haha" A man laughed as soon as he came out of an alleyway. "Nobody's here and even if there was one they wouldn't come to save you." The man laughed as he pointed his gun toward the man's face.

His words penetrated Sophie's heart and for a moment she thought of tackling the man to save the guy.

'Fuck, he has a gun. If I went out to fight him I will die too and my photo will be posted in the newspaper using it to curse the police(👮). While the real culprit would be bad network.' Sophie thought as she bit her fingernails.

Then an idea came to her mind as she opened the video recorder of her phone and started to record the crime.

'At last, this 128-megapixel camera came to a good use." Sophie thought

"I told you not to anger boss then why did you do that huh? See, your mistake will be the death of you." The man said in a fake sad tone. The tone he uses to mock his victims.

"Bang!" Before the victim could plea he was shot straight in the head and died and Sophie who was recording all this froze in fear.

The man wiped the blood on his face and throw the body in a nearby bush.

'Let's see when is his body going to get found.' The man laughed as though he thought something funny and Sophie hearing his sick laughter felt goosebumps.

Sophie sat there for an hour to make sure that the man has really left and ran straight toward her home ignoring the dead body.

"Why were you late this time, we were worried about you. How many times do I have to tell you to not use that deserted route? Even if something happened to you, you won't be able to contact us." Her mother Simar lectured her as soon as Sophie came home.

Ignoring her mother who was truly worried about her Sophie went straight inside her room and started crying.

"Sweetie did something happens? Are you alright" Her mother asked worried after hearing her daughter cry?

"Kevin, Sophie is crying and not answering," Simar called her husband Kevin who was watching the news on the television.

"It must be your shouting. You start shouting whenever you got worried." Kevin said to his wife Simar.

"Sweetie if it's because of your mother she won't shout at you anymore. So open the door and come outside to eat." - Kevin.

"I am sorry dear and I won't shout at you anymore so come out of your room." Simar talked in a softer voice this time thinking she was crying because of her shouting.

"I ate outside and it's not mom's fault. It just works stress." Sophie replied in a sob-filled voice.

"You aren't angry at me sweetie." - Simar

"Ssh, let her be. She needs some alone time right now. We will talk to her later." Kevin dragged Simar as she didn't want to leave Sophie alone.

After Sophie calmed down the first thing she did was to check her phone which has died while she was running like crazy.

After putting it on the charger Sophie opened the gallery and looked at the proof of the crime and thought

'I have the video. It means a person got murdered in front of my eyes. What should I do with this proof now.'

After much thinking, Sophie concluded and that conclusion was to ask poogle who has the answer to everything.

"My phone has a video of someone getting killed with a gun. What should I do." Sophie typed and posted this.

Like everybody, she got mixed answers on the Internet.

Some of the answers she got were these

- A murder is not a thing to joke about.

- If you have proof of someone getting killed you should hand it to the police.

- Don't listen to the above person. The person was killed with a gun in India. It means he is influential if you give it to the police and he found that because of you the police are after him. He may kill you too.

- Forget about giving it to the police. Why don't you blackmail them for money? If the murderer doesn't want to be in jail he will give you money and you will become rich.

Looking at these answers Sophie felt lost as many people thought she was joking. Some told her to side with justice and some told her to ignore it. Heck! Somebody even told her to blackmail.

Frustrated she called her boyfriend/best friend to ask about it.

"I saw a murder happen in front of my eyes and I have recorded it sob... What should I do now." As Sophie talked to her boyfriend she started crying again.

"Don't play a prank on me" - her boyfriend

"I am serious I saw a person killing a man with a gun with my own two eyes." - Sophie

"If it's true you should ignore it to not endanger your and your family life. Telling the police and getting involved in this matter is dangerous. I am coming in 2 days so we will talk about it then."- Her boyfriend

"Grumble" Just as she finished speaking her stomach started rumbling. 'Before coming to any decision, I have to eat first." Sophie thought as she rubbed her stomach.
