David pinned Thomas against the front door till sirens roared outside.
Two local police cars pulled into the long curved driveway.
Officers rushed inside the home with their hands on holsters.
Officer: Nobody move! Put your hands up!
David stepped back and pointed straight at his twin brother.
David: He locked my wife in a hidden floor room!
Officer: Sir, step away from the doorway slowly.
The officers handcuffed Thomas and led him outside quickly.
Paramedics walked in to check on Sarah's physical condition.
She sat down on the comfortable living room couch trembling.
Sarah: He had planned this for over three weeks, David.
David: How could he do this to our family?
Sarah: He forged your signature on the trust fund papers.
Sarah: He needed time for the bank transfer to clear fully.
David sat next to Sarah and held her cold hands.
David: The bank would have noticed the fake signature anyway.
Sarah: He did not care as long as he escaped.
An investigator walked into the living room holding a folder.
Investigator: Mr. Davis, we found key evidence in his car.
David: What kind of evidence did you find?
Investigator: He had a one way plane ticket to South America.
David: He was really going to leave her down there...
The full weight of the situation hit David all at once.
If Ella had not found that hidden latch, Sarah was lost.
