Thomas was randomly walking when he got shocked to see the person sitting on the chair in front of the police officer. That was Ju. She had successfully trapped Thomas.
As Thomas had a seat, the police officer began the investigation. He pointed towards Ju and said:
"So, Mam, we have exactly done what you said. Your criminal is in front of you".
Thomas became a little satisfied, thinking she was Ju. He thought dealing with her was much easier than scientists or Mr. John because she kept her biggest secret. So, he could threaten her and compelled her to take back the case.
The Ju raised her eye-brown in pride and said: "Of course, the criminal has to be caught one day."
"Mam, but the case is so strange. We don't have any identification of this man except his home address". The police officer said while scrolling the record list.
Ju had pre-planned everything. She very well knew the questions she would have to face by the police officer, especially the court. She had enough power to order any police officer to illegally arrest Thomas by offering him a large amount. However, she didn't do that because of avoiding any risk that would cause problems for her later.
She just did a little illegal activity, asking the police officer to instantly arrest Thomas without any paperwork. She had even planned how she would realize the police officer that arresting Thomas in that way was necessary.
"Sir, arresting him in that way was essential. Otherwise, our country would have to face a big loss. What you have done will never let you regret it".
The police officer wasn't too honest in his profession. He was one of those police officers who worked just for money, not to serve the public. He was feeling so proud to take Ju's case. That would help him a lot in his career. So, he didn't go into the detailed investigation and was accepting what was said to himself.
Otherwise, the honest police officer in his position investigated the matter of Thomas's identity, from where he came, why he did that, and many other things.
"Mam, I'm proud of you that you took action against him. Otherwise, in this country, everyone only thinks about his own".
Thomas's heart was constantly burning. He was curious to know what allegation Ju had put on him, but she was just talking with the police officer.
"Thanks, sir, assure me that this criminal will not be released before ten years," Ju said that and went from there.
Now, the police officer moved towards Thomas.
"So, Mr. Thomas, how would you feel like in jail for ten years?
Thomas got furious that the police officer was not still telling him anything. So, he shouted at once.
"Why am I here? Just tell me this. Whatever you think anymore, you can."
The police officer hit his hand with the table in anger and said:
"Don't forget you're in the police station. It's not your lab where you performed illegal activities with innocent scientists".
Thomas became speechless to hear that. Only his thoughts were talking to each other in his mind.
"Oh! That's why I'm here. But how can Ju know I'm working in a lab with scientists whom this officer is calling innocent".
"But scientists were more satisfied with me than why they told everything to Ju."
"I tried to keep my secret safe as much as I could by telling limited people, but I failed.
The police officer suddenly said: "Do you wanna say anything in your favor because you'll be presented in front of a judge tomorrow with many pieces of evidence against yourself."
Thomas, like other criminals, began to lie to the police officer that he was innocent and Ju was trapping him. The police officer was just making fun of him and asked some questions from him just for the formality.
"I didn't ask you to cry like that. Say any meaningful thing".
Thomas was not capable of making fake stories at once to persuade anyone. He was very straightforward. So, he preferred to be silent.
He returned to his cell and began planning his responses in the court tomorrow. He thought if everything was pre-planned, it would be easier for him to deal with the situation tomorrow.
After playing with many worst and beneficial ideas, he finalized the one.
"I don't have to permanently live here. I have to release it once to get the time machine back and return to the future. So, I don't have to think about future circumstances. I should take a big action for release. When the investigation on my another action will be going on, I will have been escaped".
"So, I'll tell everything I know about Ju, especially her plan to hide the Prime Minister and attack the whole world. I know nobody will believe me. So, I'll show a digital copy of our agreement having Ju's signature".
The next day, Thomas was presented in front of the court. Ju had thought that the Judge would be like the police officer who would believe what she would say and punish Thomas. However, when she reached the court, the police officer handling Thomas's case told Ju that she was unlucky in getting the Judge.
"Mam, it's very challenging to deal with this judge. He considered him extra-intelligent. That's why he goes into the details of every point. You must have proof of everything to win this case".
Ju unwillingly accepted that and tried to be strong, remembering her status and the relations even knowing that the Judge was so honest.
Suddenly, she thought about Thomas's lawyer. She knew Thomas was a future man, and that was why wondering who could be taking the case of a completely un-identified person.
