Cellphone

It was a November evening. I was returning home in a crowded bus. And as usual I got off at two stops from the house to walk on foot. Before the school that lay on my way were three guys, drinking beer and loudly discussing something. I had turned around the corner, I noticed that there is no light in the path to my yard. I had to turn on the flashlight on my almost discharged phone and cover them with this path. Just a few steps to the house the battery was discharged completely. Since I was already almost there and the fact that I was little weak light coming from the entrance I was not upset. Rising to my floor, I turned the key and was amazed. My sister was standing in the doorway, so she surprised me. We have not seen each other for more than six months and now she decided to surprise us and came to visit with her family. She had a key from my apartment so she had entered without a problem. We embraced, and my niece, with a loud voice and shouting "Uncle" grabbed my leg. I took little monkey in my arms and started circling her as she loved. And suddenly she asked: - Did you bring me the chocolate egg? - I did not know you are here. But now I'll fix it.
    
I asked sister for her cell phone to illuminate the road. Putting it in my trousers pocket, I went out into the street. However the light was already there. Due to the fact that the courtyard shop was already closed at this hour, I had to go to the supermarket which was next to the stop where I some time ago got off the bus. In front of me was a man, a little bit quicker. Soon he disappeared around the corner. After about 20 seconds, I also turned and saw him ahead of those fallen to the ground and those guys in close proximity to him. I decided to run up and help him, but as I reached him he got up and ran away. The guys returned to their place, and I saw on the ground where he dropped the phone.
    
I picked it up, it was broken, but it seemed to work. The screen was damaged, however it worked. I wanted to run to the man and get him back, but he already dissapeared. I wanted to hide my mobile phone in the inside pocket of my jacket, in order to give it back to the Lost and Found office in the morning. In the pocket where my wallet was supposed to be and found that the wallet is not there. Probably dropped when I was playing with my niece. So I had to go back to apartment. As I expected, it was lying on the floor in the hallway. Putting it in my pocket, I again went to the supermarket.
   
Little later I felt that someone is following me. I hastened to step and soon turned the corner to the school. There were still those guys standing there. One of them called me and asked for a light. I replied that I do not smoke and quickly moved away from them. They apparently did not like it, whether my answer was either that despicable tone, and I felt that they were following me.
I thought, It will not end in a good way, and started running, stumbled and fell. Turning, I realized that I was right, as they were already close. I quickly got up and ran away from there.
   
After I bought the cherished chocolate egg, I decided that it would be best to return home by taxi, so as not to meet those guys.
    
I went into the apartment. Gave the sweetness to my niece. My sister was a little scared to see my appearance, but I reassured her, said that I had just ran and fell, missing the
unnecessary details. She asked for her phone back. To my regret, when I put my hand into my trousers pocket, I did not find a phone there.Probably dropped on the road. I'm sorry. In the morning I'll buy you a new one.
    
My sister was a little upset. But she decided to cheer herself up. - Anyway, it was old and I did not like it. So tomorrow you must buy me a new model.
   
We had laughed, and suddenly we heard the ringtone of her phone. The sound came from the inner pocket of my jacket. I took out that broken phone.
