Luke Smith rushed his bike along the streets of Mumbai city in a mad frenzy. He weaved the bike through the traffic and the people but he kept a close eye on the rear view mirror of his bike watching the moves of his enemies closely. But unfortunately for him as he turned into an alleyway his bike clipped on the wall of a shop and he fell face first on the ground. His helmet protected him from any head injury but his pursuers caught upto him. He stood on unsteady legs and tried to run away but something hard hitted on the back of his head. His ears started ringing and he lost his vision as he fell unconscious on the floor.
The next time Luke opened his eyes he saw he was in a dark room. He tried to move his hand but it was tied up by ropes. He grunted as he tried to break free of the ropes but the door quickly opened and he saw someone coming towards him with his blurry vision. He was dragged outside the room and he was presented before his ex boss on his knees.
"Luke when I first saw you I saw myself in you in many ways. But now I see I was wrong. All I see is a love struck boy who never learned anything from life. Tell me why did you snitch on me. Why did you inform them about my drug business." his boss asked
When he continued to hold his silence one of the goons punched him across his face making him spit blood to the floor.
"I wanted a new life. I wanted a life with Akshaya. I wanted out of your gang, so I told the police about everything." Luke said with several coughs
"Oh yes your lady love. How could I forget. Is this your dear Akshaya." his boss sneered as he threw a laminated card in Luke's face. The card fell on the floor but he clearly saw her face on the card. But what struck him cold was that the card was an ID card of the police department of Mumbai.
"Yes. Your dear girlfriend is an undercover agent. She played you like a fiddle and you spilled all the information she wanted like a moron. You betrayed all of us and for what, some girl you know for two months. I never took you for an idiot Luke but you have proved yourself to be one." his boss said as he took a gun and loaded it
"No this not true. Akshaya is a computer engineer. She works for a firm in the city." Luke said in disbelief
"She faked it you fool. I have always considered you a good friend Luke but you betrayed. You betrayed all of us. Because of you so many of our men have been arrested and killed. All of my stocks are now under police custody because of you. Do you remember what I told you before you joined me Luke." his boss asked
"Don't trust anybody." Luke numbly replied
"Yes and now you see why I told you that. You were a skilled smuggler and an even better killer. But there is one flaw within you my friend. You switch off your criminal persona when you are not on the job. That is your problem Luke. You should not have tried to create another persona. Sometimes the other side will spill over and now look at you. I can no longer see the Luke Smith I met seven years ago. The one that was a cold hearted killer with precision. Now you look like a kicked puppy." his boss said with a laugh
"Get me out of these ropes. I will kill the b* myself." Luke snarled as he was overcome with hatred, anger and grief
"Oh no Luke. Your fate is sealed. There is no going back from here." his boss said as he pulled the gun on his face. But just then they heard gunshots outside. The door of the room got blown inwards spreading sharpnel inside. Luke used this distraction and wrestled the gun out of his boss. He rolled behind a pillar and fired at his boss. His aim held true as the bullet punched through his boss's head and he fell dead.
Luke hid behind the pillar and tried his best to slip out of the rope but to no avail. He saw a long glass shard near him and he used it to cut into the rope. His hands became bloodied as the shard sometimes bit into his hands. But he still did his job diligently and finally he was able to cut the rope. He took a small peak and saw the police firing at the goons and thugs and take fire as well. Then he saw that accursed b* taking cover behind a table.
He felt rage course through his veins as he saw her. He hid behind the pillar and took a deep breath and thought through his options. He could lie down and be captured by the police. He may end up behind bars but he would live. Another option was he fight through this carnage and try to eacape with his life. He may have to be on the run from police but he was confident he can escape them if he makes out alive from here. Then there is the last option. He could stay here take his chances and kill anyone that comes in his way and finally put a bullet through the head of that cheating b* who made him look like a fool. He felt more at peace with the last option and his rage settled as he made a decision and his mind kicked into overdrive as his thought process sharpened.
He rolled out from the cover of the pillar as he shot into the open space before him. His first two shots scored hits and an officer fell bleeding from his chest and the third shot hit another's leg. Before anyone could fire at him he was behind a wall. Some officers fired at the wall and he took cover but one of them cried out in pain as he got shot by one of the gang members.
Luke quickly took a peak and he saw his target trying to fire into the gang on her opposite side. He took aim and fired and his aim did not fail him as the bullet went through her unprotected neck. She fell behind the table and Luke quickly rolled on on the ground until he took cover behind a pillar. He saw more police coming and he took a gun that layed on the ground and he ran to the table as he fired into the police squad. With a jump he was able to get under the cover of the table and he promptly shot two police officers trying to stem the bleeding of his prime target. They fell dead beside her. He watched her closely as she desperately tried to form words and raised her hand towards him.
"It is good that you cannot talk because I might just die from the poison you spit up. You used me you b*. You might think yourself a big hero trying to trick drug smugglers and bring them before the law. People like you have been bought up with full bellies and care of your family. But I am someone who had only hunger as a companion. I lived everyday as my last day and I thrived because of that. But I got greedy and desired a normal life. But you have shown me there is nothing normal in this world. For that I am thankful. It is good I end my mistake by my own hand." Luke said as he shot her in the head effectively ending her struggle.
Luke leaned into the table and looked at her dead body. He did not feel an ounce of hurt in his heart but he felt liberated as if a great weight has been taken away from his heart. But he felt really reckless and he stood up and began to fire into the police with his twin guns taking many of them down. He slowly walked around the table never bothering to cover himself as his adrenaline was running high. He fired the guns until the bullets ran out and he even struck one officer with the gun on his head taking him down. Finally a shot hit him on his abdomen making him stop his advance. Another shot was fired and his chest exploded in pain but he suddenly took a gun from one dead policeman and began to fire with a crazed laugh. Once again a shot hit him on the chest and he fell on the floor tired and spent. His vision began to get blurry and darkness covered his eyes.

He regained his bearings and he slowly stood up. Everything was silent and when he looked around he saw all the policemen stood frozen in place as if the world itself has been paused. He looked at himself and he saw he was transparent like a glass only a faint outline could be seen. He looked down and saw his body. He wanted to panick but he strangely felt calm and he stood there looking at his corpse. He grew bored of that so he walked out of the building into the sunlight. Contrary to his thought he did not get burned like he saw in some ghost movies in India. But the sky quickly darkened as if a storm was about to hit. A lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck him but he felt no pain but he felt himself being stuffed into a small tube. Everything was bright around him and he could not see anything.
Suddenly the brightness dimmed and he could see again. He was in a wooden house with candles providing light. He looked out of the window but it was dark and he could not see anything. Suddenly lightning flashed in the sky and he saw a hooded figure on the gates of this house. The creepy guy pushed the gates open and entered in leisurely pace.
Sudenly he heard a commotion from the other end of the hall way.
"Lily take Harry and run. I will hold him off." Someone shouted and the guy ran into the hallway and passed through him like he was never there. Luke was very confused as a memory tried to surface but he never got the chance as he began to hear some hissing laughter from the direction he saw the man run.
"Very brave but foolish. Facing me without a wand Potter. Such a shame you refused to join me." a voice hissed followed by a gleeful voice of "Avada Kedavra"
Luke saw a green light flash from the side he was looking and he heard a dull thud. Finally everything clicked into place but he could not wrap his head around what was happening around him. Was he somehow in the Potter's house in a fictional world based on a book. His silent question got answered as he saw a snake faced man appear at the end of hallway and approached him steadily. But like before Mr.Snake face walked right through him towards his target. Luke decided to follow the man and entered the room after the dark lord Voldemort.
"Stand aside women." Voldemort demanded
"Not Harry. Please take me instead. Spare him." Lily Potter begged
"Stand aside women. You need not die. I only want his life. You need not die." Voldemort commanded
"No please. Take me instead. Spare my Harrry." Lily Potter begged as she stood protectively over her son
"Very well." Voldemort murmured and he casted the killing curse on Lily. She fell dead on the floor with a thud.
"Only I shall live forever." Voldemort said as he pointed his wand at the baby Harry and casted the killing curse. But this time the green curse after striking Harry's forehead got reflected back upon the dark lord.
Voldemort couldn't even react as the curse struck him true and he screamed in rage and pain as the body of dark lord simply disintegrated into ash leaving only his cloak and wand. But Luke saw a smokey wraith rise from the ash and disappeared out of the window. A small ghostly portion swirled around in the room but instead of latching on to baby Harry like Luke thought it would the stupid thing came into him. It was so unexpected that he could not move and a splitting headache affected him and he lost his vision once again. His last view was a crying Harry Potter in the crib bleeding from his forehead.

Luke slowly opened his eyes but everything was blurry once again. He had to wait some time until his vision cleared up. He tried to stand up but he found himself unable to move. He yawned and felt himself overcome by sleep. With his will alone he managed to stay awake and began to look around him by moving his eyes. He was in some crude building made of stones but he felt smaller than ever before. Suddenly he was bombarded with a flow of memories alien to him. He felt as if his head was going to explode but somehow Luke overcame the pain and calmed himself. Suddenly some giant man picked him up.
"Don't cry my son. I am here. Look at me little wolf. I am your father Robb." the giant man said with love
That's when he realised this man was not a giant instead Luke himself has become small. He waved his hand and he was able to saw how tiny it was. He looked stunned at the man before him and that's when he recognised him and only one question was going through his head.
What was Sean Bean doing here? A question that short-circuited his brain and he fell asleep.
