A spanner in the works (Short Story)

A young scientist has a long way to go before he can be recognised as the most brilliant mind of his generation. So Fred puts all his energy into a project to get everyone's attention.

Unfortunately he has to neglect his newly wedded wife and steal from work to do it.

Will he become a rich and successful man adored by many and doted on by his new wife? Or end up fired divorced and in prison, he hopes it will be the first one.

But there seems to be a third option he hadn't considered when his teleportation device doesn't seem to work as he calculated.

This is a short story written for the sci fi short story competition following their prompt on time travel, which I may develop into a longer story. Please enjoy.
