Elena looked up from the floor with tears running down her face.
She raised one hand and pointed straight up toward the balcony rail.
Elena: She deliberately dropped the baby from the upper balcony, sir!
David looked up at his wife, who backed away toward the wall.
Victoria: She is lying, David! The child slipped out of my arms!
Elena: I saw her drop him on purpose with my own eyes!
David stared at his wife, his face growing red with burning fury.
He loved his little boy more than anything else in the world.
He walked fast across the floor toward the base of the staircase.
His shoes made loud booming sounds against the hard white marble step path.
Victoria backed away until her spine hit the framed American flag frame.
Victoria: David, please listen to me before you do something foolish!
David: Get out of my house immediately before I lose my mind!
David pulled out his mobile phone with a shaking right hand.
He pressed the three emergency buttons without turning his gaze away from her.
David: Call 911 right now and tell them we need police!
Victoria stumbled backward and fell down hard onto the cold stone floor.
She realized her luxurious lifestyle in Dallas was completely over today.
David turned his back on her and walked quickly down the steps.
He dropped to his knees right beside Elena and his crying child.
David: Is he really okay? Did he hit the floor at all?
Elena: I caught him in my arms before he touched the ground.
David reached out and wrapped his arms around both of them tightly.
He wept openly as he held his safe son close to his chest.
David: You saved my baby boy's life today, Elena.
Elena: I would give my own life to protect this child, sir.
High above them, Victoria tried to crawl away toward her master bedroom.
She knew the police were coming to arrest her within minutes now.
