Chapter 2 - 2.Reincarnation 2

*tring*

I have entered into store , and saw variety of exotic rings,chains and many things . While I was looking around. Someone called out to me.

"Sir?" It was a short man about 140 cm, he is dark and have a crafty look on his face.

"Sir,may I ask what do you want ?"

"I am looking for something."

"May I help you?"

"No, I am fine"

"Please take your time sir"

He bowed slightly and left. I spent about 30 minutes and picked up a necklace for my sister paid the required cash and left.

While I was walking back to home in a dark alley I saw something. It was a policeman who is getting beaten up thugs by the look of it, they look like drug dealers.

I don't want trouble, so started to walk in other direction, just then,

"Hey you wait?"

One of the thugs stopped me. I suddenly felt a chill down my spine just then turned around saw that the police man was dead. Now they want to clean up witnesses that is myself.

"Wait"

"Stop"

"Kill that bastard!!!"

I ran frantically in the same direction I came from . I saw the jewellery shop again.

*tring*

"S-sir what happened? Why are you running and from whom?" The short dark man saw me questioned me when he saw my pathetic state but

"I don't have time, I don't my death to be meaningless, please help me"

"What happened sir ?"

He asked in a frightened tone. I have told him everything and recorded my voice in a audio player as evidence.

I don't want to die but I have no choice, i have dropped my I'd card while running. It would be a disaster if they do something to my friends and subordinates at construction site.

I don't want anyone to suffer because of me. Now my plan is to hold off those thugs until reinforcements arrive. Even though I called it holding off I have no confidence in doing it.

My chances of being alive are very less. So I wrote a short to family thanking for everything they have done and also wishing my sister happiness and also left the gift I have bought for her. I have thanked the solemn looking shopkeeper and gave my savings while pleading him to give  the letter to family and I also gave him my address. And walking away ignoring the complicated look on his face.

That's all I remember,  while I has desperately trying to lead the thugs to various streets and alleys one of thugs shoot a bullet right through my skull.

Next moment everything around me became dark and I saw a shiny ball like thingy in the infinite darkness.

"Hello , poor child I am God of reincarnation you have died , now it's time for reincarnation~"

That's what he said a cliche line in a playful tone.

Well I am looking forward to my future.
