Mark reached into his pocket and grabbed his cell phone.
He dialed three digits without hesitation or delay at all.
Elena backed toward the front entryway door in a hurry.
Elena: Do not call the police on me, Mark!
Mark: You tried to hurt an innocent child tonight!
Elena: We can work this out between us privately!
Mark: There is nothing left to work out anymore.
The emergency operator answered the call within two seconds.
Mark spoke clearly into the speakerphone on his device.
Mark: I need police officers at my address right away.
Elena: Mark, please put that phone down right now!
Mark: My wife attempted to harm my young daughter.
Mark: I have full video evidence on my security system.
Elena screamed in frustration and ran toward the main door.
She pulled on the heavy metal door handle desperately hard.
The automatic locks were already set on the house system.
She beat her fists against the wooden door panel angrily.
Mark kept his distance while keeping Lily safe behind him.
The little girl was wrapped warmly in the dry towel.
Within minutes, bright red lights flashed through the front windows.
Sirens echoed down the quiet suburban street outside the house.
Two police officers knocked firmly on the glass front door.
Mark unlocked the entrance and let the officers inside quickly.
Mark: The footage is ready for you to view.
Elena: He is lying, it was just an accident!
The officers reviewed the clear outdoor video footage carefully.
They placed handcuffs on Elena's wrists without delay now.
