Daniel reached inside and took Lily gently by her warm arms.
He guided her small body through the broken hole in drywall.
Lily stepped out onto the bedroom floor and blinked at light.
Maya ran forward from the doorway and wrapped her arms around her.
The two sisters held each other tight while crying on floor.
Daniel stood up slowly while feeling a dark rage rising inside.
He turned around to face his wife near the bedroom closet.
Sarah backed away until her shoulders pressed against the far window.
Daniel: How could you do this to our child?
Sarah: She was going to leave us forever, Daniel!
Daniel: You locked her in a wall!
Sarah wiped tears from her eyes with her trembling hands instantly.
She looked at her two daughters holding each other near bed.
Sarah: I was trying to keep our family together!
Daniel: You are sick and you need help!
Daniel pulled his smartphone from his front pocket with quick hands.
He dialed three simple numbers while keeping his gaze locked tight.
Sarah sprinted across the room toward the open bedroom doorway fast.
Daniel stepped sideways and blocked the exit with his wide frame.
He grabbed her jacket sleeve firmly before she could slip past.
Sarah struggled against his grip while shouting frantic excuses loudly now.
Sarah: Let me go before the police arrive here!
Daniel: You are not going anywhere tonight!
The emergency operator answered the incoming phone call with clear tone.
Daniel spoke into the speakerphone clearly without dropping his firm gaze.
He requested urgent medical assistance and immediate police officers right away.
Lily sat on the bed while wrapping a warm blanket close.
She held her younger sister's hand tightly in her lap.
The sound of approaching sirens echoed from the street outside home.
