Within thirty minutes, two local police cruisers pulled into the wide circular driveway of the mansion.
Arthur met the officers at the front door while holding Harrison close to his side.
He handed the officers the forged financial documents along with photos of the hidden wall space.
The lead officer inspected the tiny dark compartment inside the hallway wall with serious eyes.
Police Officer: This compartment was clearly locked from the outside lever, sir.
Arthur: She put my son in there while I was away on business trips.
The officer recorded every detail into his report while his partner took photos of the scene.
Harrison sat quietly on the sofa while a paramedic checked his arms for any injuries.
The young boy looked up at his father with big, hopeful eyes as the checkup finished.
Paramedic: He is physically okay, just very shaken up and severely dehydrated right now.
Arthur: Thank you so much for taking such good care of him today.
Arthur sat down beside his son on the soft cushion and took his small hand tightly.
Arthur: Nobody will ever hurt you or lock you away ever again, Harrison.
Little Boy: Is she really gone forever, Daddy?
Arthur: Yes, buddy, she is never coming back into this home ever again.
The officers informed Arthur that a warrant was being issued immediately for Victoria's arrest.
Her financial fraud and child endangerment charges were enough to secure a heavy prison sentence.
Arthur felt a huge weight lift off his chest as he signed the final police statements.
He watched the police cars drive down the long private road back toward the main highway.
The quiet mansion felt peaceful for the first time in many difficult months.
Arthur knew that rebuilding their lives would take time, but the dark secret was finally gone.
