Several months later at the beginning of the summer, Exley had finished the solution. He knew it was right because through his studies, it was determined that the finished product would be a deep shade of red and slightly carbonated. Since it was identical to cherry soda, Exley found four long necked glass bottles and filled each to the top with the bubbling concoction. He even added cherry flavoring so if anyone tried to steal it, it would give off the aroma of its disguise and the thief will pass right over it. Exley placed it in the refrigerator with the other drinks and went to watch television, congratulating himself on the achievement.
At about ten o'clock that night, there was a knock at the door. It was two policemen. After Exley confirmed who he was, the taller of the two began to explain that they were there because they had a warrant for his arrest for multiple robberies at the lab. Almost at once, Exley's insanity kicked in. He tried to make a dash to the kitchen to drink the solution so that when he was in jail, he could transform into a fly and escape. But this foolish decision proved to be his downfall. The two officers secured a struggling Exley by the arms and took him to the squad car where he would then be taken to the station. Exley had never told anybody about it concoction, so no one thought twice when they saw, and heard, him being dragged from his house like a child from a toy store. Every one who witnessed his capture knew that he had gone insane and expected something like this to happen sooner rather than later.
