The atrium was quiet again as the police cars drove away down the long driveway.
Arthur stood near the large American flag backdrop, feeling a immense sense of relief.
Clara sat on the soft couch near the foyer, gently rocking Leo in her arms.
The toddler had stopped crying and was now resting his head on her shoulder.
Arthur walked over to them and sat down on the leather armchair nearby.
Father Arthur: I cannot thank you enough for what you did today, Clara.
Nanny Clara: I love this little boy, Mr. Vance. I would do anything to protect him.
Father Arthur: You showed more love to him in one second than his mother ever did.
Attorney Richard walked into the living room holding a stack of legal documents.
Attorney Richard: The magistrate has already granted an emergency protective custody order.
Attorney Richard: Evelyn will not be permitted within five hundred yards of Leo.
Arthur nodded slowly as he signed the legal papers on the small coffee table.
Father Arthur: I am filing for sole custody and an immediate divorce today.
Attorney Richard: The video evidence is absolute. The judge will grant full custody quickly.
Arthur looked at his son, who was opening his little eyes to look at his father.
Leo reached out a tiny hand toward Arthur's face, smiling softly through his tears.
Arthur leaned forward and took his son's small hand into his own warm palm.
Father Arthur: You are safe now, Leo. Nobody will ever scare you in this home again.
Clara smiled warmly as she handed the toddler over to his father's gentle embrace.
Nanny Clara: He knows he is safe with you, Mr. Vance.
Father Arthur: I want you to stay on as Leo's full-time guardian and manager, Clara.
Father Arthur: I will double your salary and give you full authority over the house staff.
Clara looked surprised and touched by the generous offer from her employer.
Nanny Clara: Thank you, sir. I would be honored to stay and care for Leo.
