The sudden loud noise echoed through the quiet surrounding house.
Sarah backed away into the dimly lit hallway while breathing very heavily.
Her hands trembled violently as she adjusted her gray pajama top.
David: Tell me the truth before I call the emergency services!
Sarah: You have no right to talk to me like that!
David stepped out into the dark hallway and slammed the bedroom door shut behind him.
He wanted to keep Lily safe inside the warm bedroom away from Sarah.
David: I noticed her health getting worse every day after you moved in.
Sarah: She is just a sick child with a weak immune system!
David: No, you are doing something terrible to my daughter!
Sarah: You are completely out of your mind!
Sarah turned around quickly to run down the narrow carpeted stairs.
David moved fast and blocked the top step with his body.
David: You are not going anywhere until you explain this bitter smell!
Sarah tried to push past him with all her remaining physical strength.
David held his ground firmly and grabbed her thick leather purse off the hall table.
Sarah: Give me back my personal purse right now!
David: What are you hiding inside here, Sarah?
David unzipped the heavy leather bag with one sharp pull.
He dumped the entire contents onto the dark hallway carpet.
A lipstick, keys, and a small dark glass bottle tumbled out onto the floor.
The small glass bottle had a red danger label printed across the front.
David picked up the tiny bottle and read the clear printed words.
It was a dangerous sedative drug used only with strict medical prescriptions.
David: Where did you get this dangerous medication from?
Sarah: That is my own personal sleep medication!
David: You poisoned my daughter! Get out of my house!
Sarah tried to grab the tiny glass bottle back from his hands.
David shoved her hand away with a strong powerful movement.
Sarah stumbled backward against the wooden wall railing in shock.
Her elbow hit the nearby hall table and knocked over an old vase.
The thick glass vase shattered into tiny sharp pieces upon the floor.
