Elena pushed past the wide doorway into the white marble room.
Her dark hair was tied back under her simple cloth cap.
Her heart pounded loudly inside her tight chest with fierce anger.
Elena: Get your hands off that poor child right now!
Victoria turned her head around with total surprise and disgust.
Victoria: How dare an employee speak to me in that tone!
Elena: I will not stand here and watch you mistreat her!
Elena lunged forward across the slick white tiled bathroom floor.
She reached out and pulled young Lily behind her grey uniform.
Victoria swung her arm around to strike the brave house maid.
Elena blocked the wild swing with her strong left arm.
She delivered a powerful shove against Victoria's silk satin robe.
Victoria lost her balance completely on the polished tile floor.
She tumbled backward directly into the full freestanding bathtub water.
A massive wave of warm water splashed across the white walls.
Victoria: You crazy fool, look at what you have done!
Victoria sat soaked in the tub with water dripping down.
The gold pitcher clattered loudly onto the wet floor tiles.
Lily: Elena, she tried to take my mother's legal trust ring!
Elena: I know sweetheart, you are safe with me now.
Victoria gasped for air and tried to scramble back up.
Victoria: You will be fired and thrown into prison for assault!
Elena: You are the one who will answer for this abuse!
The framed American flag on the wall shifted slightly sideways.
Behind the glass panel sat a small red recording lens.
Elena knew the security system had captured every single detail.
She picked up the frightened girl and held her tightly.
Lily: Is Daddy ever coming back home from his trip?
Elena: He is already on his way back, my dear child.
Suddenly heavy footsteps echoed from the main lower hallway downstairs.
