Chapter one: The beggar on a busy street!

This is the first chapter of a story i'm likely to finish in a few days if time permits me. I'm sure if i will have enough time, i could make it entertaining and electrifying..well that depends too because i'm still an amateur blogger!
                                                   
In chess, there would be times when a well placed pawn is more stronger than the king himself! whether it can be applied in real world and in controversial phenomena? well, anything can happen and not all situatinos are strictly in control of the hands which hold the strings, right?
Well here goes the tale or moreover a fiction fuelled incident that is likely to become my first step towards becoming a writer:
 A beggar who knew a face well enough to describe it to a sketch artist, will be a mistake overlooked if that face is going behind bars for a crime that the owner of that face committed and was going to escape without any trouble.

                                                            The Beggar on a busy street 
                                                                                                              M.G.Road, Bangalore. 7:30 p.m.
Bangalore, the city of green or so its residents call it, is a very busy one with all its roads flooded with traffic in the working hours. Employees rushing off to offices, students to colleges, "ahh" its a irritating sight to watch. In the evenings its a whole different place and of course the traffic is still there, but this time you'll observe the partyharders all over the place with their sport bikes and cars. There is no specific day you can fix to a young bachelor for partying, right? Bangalore, it offers a irresistible night life if you are to welcome it!
                                            It so happened that steve was on his way to UB city, a place where every brick  in that building screams money. He was taking a parabolic turn (U-turn) and go for the entrance gate and its when it happened. Something flew out of air and fell on his car hood making him to jolt out of his cool demeanour and shriek with shock. A fraction of second later he hears a scream coming from the back seat  from his friend who was similarly shocked to discover that object which fell on the car was a body, which is now behind the car on the road. Steve immediately got down to check whether that was his fault. One thing that is common in every part of the world, no matter how busy people might be, they immediately lose all their focus on their daily routines and gather around an accident which happens near them and believe me, not all are going to call an ambulance or going to offer a helping hand. India is no different than the rest of the world. There was already a crowd gathering around steve's car or moreover the body that is behind steve's car by the time he got out. When he saw the body, he could not utter a single word. This wasn't due to the shock of recognition he made to the body but just he didn't know what to say. That body was of a beggar's! And in the gap of the crowd, he also saw a person watching the commotion, get into his car and drive away. Steve could bet that he saw something red on the corner of the headlight of the car, only that it was shattered now.
