1st passerby: Leave there they are all dead or you are unable to see the flames from the car.
2nd passerby: Yes, I think so too, I solemnly doubt if anyone there could have survived such.
3rd passerby: No, let's try our best and save at least one life. A help is never in vain.
4th passerby: Only you sha because I know that I can not risk my life inorder to save another person, moreover I have something very important to attend to. I will be on my way.
5th passerby: Me too I can't risk my beautiful skin to skin to rescue dead people.
6th passerby: Moreover, I am not in the mood and in the right state of mind for interrogations by the Police.
7th Passerby: Let's help, I think I can hear the cry of a baby.
8th passerby: Na so, not only the cry of a child, you will soon start hearing voices from the dead.
9th passerby: Hahaha Abi ohh, let's go, whoever wants to get killed should go and get killed.
3rd passerby: ( referring to the 7th passerby that stayed behind while other passerbys left) Let's try and see if we are able to save the child from the flames, my name is Oliver and you are?
7th passerby: My name is Benjamin ( fetches several buckets of water and pours it to the burning car and finally quenches the fire with the aid of of an extinguisher that was nearby). He then sees the baby under the protection of a woman who bends over inorder to protect the life of the baby.

3rd passerby: I want to urinate.
7th passerby: Please be quick, let's take her to a hospital.
3rd passerby: Ok. ( crossed over to the other side of the road and begins to run at his highest speed). Why should I put another man's responsibility and duties on my head; he said muttering to himself.
7th passerby ( after waiting for about 10 minutes and didn't see Oliver returns he turns and sights him from afar and says to him). Hey Oliver that's not fair at all, I thought we agreed, whose gonna Carter for the Child, why then are you running.
3rd passerby: (stops a taxi and replies while shouting) You I guess are going to Carter for the child, Since your the best Samaritan, continue your good works and I say to thee, your reward awaits you in heaven.
7th passerby: ( takes a sigh) Baby I guess it's just you and me, let's look for the nearest hospital dear, he then enters a taxi.

Benjamin arrives at the Federal Medical Center and pays the medical bills and discusses with the Doctor.
Doctor Thelma: Sir please are you the father of the Child you brought.
Benjamin: No ma, but how is she now.
Doctor Thelma: She is perfectly fine but what relation do you have with her sir.
Benjamin: Thanks, I am just a Passerby, her parents were involved in an accident and are dead.
Doctor Thelma: What a pity. My name is Thelma Sydney, there is absolutely nothing to worry about at the moment all we need from you is just to fill a form and I advice you take her to an Orphanage where she would properly be taken care of, unless you are planning on adopting her as your daughter.
Benjamin: I would you love to take her as my child but I don't have enough resources to Carter for her. So I would rather take her to the Orphanage when she's discharged.
Doctor Thelma: Okay.
Benjamin: When will she be discharged please.
Doctor Thelma: At the moment since there are no complications, she would be discharged tomorrow you can take further action after that.
Benjamin: Thanks so much for your support I really appreciate.
Doctor Thelma: Your welcome sir.
