Within fifteen minutes, loud police sirens sounded down the long driveway.
Two local police officers walked up the front marble entrance stairs.
Arthur opened the large front door and welcomed the officers inside.
Officer Davis: Sir, we received a distress call regarding an endangered child.
Arthur: Yes, officer, my wife deliberately hid my daughter's prescription medicine.
Victoria stood near the stair banister while wringing her trembling hands.
Victoria: Officers, this is just an unfortunate family dispute over chores!
Arthur: She also gave my allergic daughter food containing trace nuts.
Officer Davis looked sternly at the glass sitting on the table.
He pulled a small clear plastic evidence bag from his belt.
He carefully placed the juice glass inside the sealed container.
Officer Davis: We will take this drink in for immediate laboratory testing.
Victoria: You have no right to take my personal property away!
Officer Davis: Ma'am, endangering a minor is a serious criminal offense.
Emily sat on the comfortable living room couch drinking clean water.
A female paramedic sat beside her checking her oxygen saturation levels.
Paramedic: Her breathing is stable now thanks to the quick inhaler dose.
Arthur: Thank God my child is going to be completely okay.
Officer Davis turned toward Victoria and pulled out metal handcuffs.
Officer Davis: Ma'am, you need to come with us to the station.
Victoria: Arthur, tell them to stop this ridiculous arrest right now!
Arthur: You brought this consequence entirely upon yourself through your cruelty.
The officer clicked the silver metal cuffs around Victoria's slender wrists.
Her sparkling blue diamond dress looked completely out of place now.
She cried out in anger as she was led down stairs.
