July 3, 3030, 10:50pm. It was getting late and Jonah was getting tired, he yawned, activated the autopilot, and put the plane in sleep mode. The door behind the cockpit opened and the seat Jonah was sitting in reclined into a bed position,it slid through the door into a small room with a desk. The door closed and Jonah fell asleep to the soft humming of the silent engine

Jonah was digging into the soft, powdery snow in attempt to get to the dirt below, it had snowed 10 feet the night before and jonah had to get to the ground, after 2 hours Jonah was about to give up when "chink" his shovel hit something hard. He cleared the snow around it, he laughed when he saw it was the mailbox, then he realized that he was right by the road, He climbed down the snow bank and opened the mailbox,there was an official looking letter in it. He took it out and ran up the snow bank, and down into the attic, "mother!" he called. His mother came in, "yes jonah?" she asked. Jonah handed her the letter and she read it, by the time she was done she had a shocked look on her face. "Mother what's wrong?" Jonah asked. "Jonah you need to hide before...." Suddenly there was a crash and the attic window was shattered, 4 officers came in and arrested Jonah and took him away.

July 4, 3030, 8:30am. Jonah woke up and pushed a button on the side of the chair. The chair back went up until Jonah was sitting straight up. The chair slid through the doorway into the cockpit. The door closed, Jonah typed some coordinates into the GPS and switched off autopilot. Within 4 hours there was land, familiar mountains, familiar forests and buildings, and a familiar house, Jonah landed the plane silently in the backyard of the house, got out and walked over.

Jonah sat in a small room. There were footsteps and the door opened, "Jonah Smith" a voice said. A man walked into the room, "Mr. Smith due to your various crimes you will be serving 10 years in prison unless you pay 7 million dollars" the man said leading jonah to his cell, he threw Jonah into the cell and locked the door

Emily Smith was sitting at the table eating breakfast when there was a knock on the door. She walked over, opened the door, and stopped, "hello mother," Jonah said. His mother started to cry and Jonah gave her a hug, "I missed you" He said walking in.

5 weeks later: Jonah, his mother, father, and Nate, his older brother, sat in the courtroom, "I understand you have paid the 7 million dollars" the judge said, Jonah nodded, the judge sat up. "Well then I guess that means that from this point forward, Jonah Smith has his rights restored and is freed" the judge said.
