"Authorities? Hey, I wasn't breaking any laws," Charlie pleaded. "At least, not on purpose. I woke up in a tunnel not too far from here. I don't know how I got there. I ..."
"Save your story for someone who actually cares," the man said, cutting him off. "You just ruined a perfect afternoon of hunting."
Charlie was escorted to what he could only describe as a "hovercar", then was pushed inside. The trip was extremely short, but only because the vehicle was traveling so fast. In only a few minutes, they had reached the futuristic city that Charlie had seen on the horizon and the hunter escorted him into the police station ... or whatever passed for one on this "alien" planet.
They walked up to a fairly attractive woman behind a desk. She was dressed in a blue body suit and had a badge hanging just above her left breast. "What's the violation?" she asked, in an almost monotone voice. Perhaps her job was a bit too monotonous for her.
"Trespassing," the hunter said, glaring at Charlie out of the corner of his eyes.
"You're under arrest," the woman said, then two men wearing blue body suits approached Charlie and grabbed him.
"Wait a minute. This is just a mistake," Charlie pleaded, as the two cops hauled him away.
