Andrew. The new commissioner. God he hated this posting. This distant, small village, where almost no one lived, except old Indian men. The village? A total bore. As much as no crimes was a relief, there was not much entertainment like before. The craze in the posh British parties, the drinks, and the ladies. On a night patrol, Drew was out, sacrificing his sleep and relaxation. By the corner of his eye, he saw a figure running by, and almost on reflex caught its hand, pinning it to the nearby wall. "Who are you? What is your motive of running at the middle of the night?" He said harsh, stern.Andrew. The new commissioner. God he hated this posting.

On a night patrol, Drew was out, sacrificing his sleep and relaxation. The cool night air carried the scent of jasmine from nearby bushes, while crickets chirped in the distance. By the corner of his eye, he saw a figure running by, and almost on reflex caught its hand, pinning it to the nearby wall. The rough texture of the mud brick pressed against his palm as he felt the rapid heartbeat of the person beneath his grip.
