It was a completely normal morning, except for one thing. There was apple Jam on my bread rather than butter. I did what I usually did on a Saturday. But this Saturday was not usual. In the evening my cousin informed me that there was an unusual car in the parking area, across our flat and when someone went to close to the car, to see who it belonged to or for whatever purpose, a dead man was found in the car, on the driver’s seat. I have no idea when this man went to the car and revealed what he found and by the time I was informed of it police had already came and took care of the matter and car. I was shocked to hear this news, yet also curious. Slowly, I received more and more information on this matter. The man on the driver’s seat, who was found dead, was not a man from our community. More surprisingly the man was shot and killed, in other words…he was murdered. A week later we all had forgotten the matter. But more news came in, the man who was murdered was a driver and he was to pick up a small child from school and drop him off to his house. But rumor had it that the driver was involved in some kind of kidnapping of the child, and the driver took a little de-tour. And apparently there were some disagreements between the driver and the gang, most likely over the driver’s share of money. And the result? The driver dead and no child in car. But rumor also had it that the child was later found. The only thing that I can say for sure is that the there was a dead body in a car that was shot. I do not know why. But that kidnapping rumor was quite convincing. It was just another strange thing that is not usual. But come to think of it, in Pakistan I wonder how common this really is. I mean how many people are murdered overnight and most likely some of those murdered peoples bodies are not even found. Some are killed for revenge and others for money, and many for reasons unknown.
