At noon, as Charlie was having a meal alone in a restaurant in Oskiatown, the sound of sirens echoed across the street, and two police cars from the Immigration Bureau screeched to a stop at the door of the restaurant.
Charlie observed everything silently. He donned an indifferent expression and continued eating with his head down.
Several policemen rushed into the restaurant with a picture in their hands and compared it with the patrons in the restaurant. Suddenly, they strode toward Charlie and asked loudly, "Are you Charlie, who smuggled into the United States from Malaysia?"
"What?" Charlie raised his head and shook it in confusion. "No..."
The policeman checked the photo, sneered, and notified his colleagues, "Guys, it's him. Take him!"
Several policemen rushed forward, grabbed Charlie's arms to the back, and handcuffed him.
Charlie struggled as they grabbed his arms but immediately stopped resisting when a policeman made a gesture of going for his gun.
After handcuffing him, the policemen took him out of the restaurant and put him in the back seat of a police car.
The sound of sirens echoed across the street again as the police cars roared to the immigration office.
The policemen didn't know anything about Charlie. They had merely received an order from their superior to arrest a Malaysian illegal immigrant suspected of multiple thefts who had appeared at a restaurant in Oskiatown.
