Gerrard tells the intruder that he, too, is a criminal like him. He says that once things went wrong with him. He had to use bullets. He was able to get away. But the police got one of his men. They found on him some papers. The man should have burnt these papers. But he hadn’t and the police found them. From those papers, they came to know of Gerrard’s name and address. Now they could reach there any time. Gerrard says that he had packed his bag and was ready to run away.
It is not a true story. Gerrard has made it up to trap the intruder. He wants to have him arrested.
