Claire burst into the sunroom with wild speed and pure desperation.
Claire: Sophie!
Victoria spun around quickly with a look of total shock.
She tried to block the glass tank with her green gown.
The police officer drew his yellow taser and yelled out loudly.
Officer: Move away from that tank immediately!
Claire did not wait for the officer to handle the situation.
She shoved Victoria hard out of the way without any hesitation.
Victoria stumbled sideways against the cold white marble floor tile.
The baby submerged underwater and cried hysterically inside the glass.
Bubbles floated rapidly to the surface as the child struggled hard.
Claire lifted the heavy glass lid off the top with all her strength.
The glass cover scraped loudly against the frame with a sharp noise.
She plunged both of her arms deep into the cold tank water.
Her fingers closed tightly around her soaking wet baby boy.
She lifted Sophie out of the deep water in one quick motion.
Water sloshed violently over the rim and splashed onto the floor.
The baby coughed hard and broke into loud hysterical crying.
Claire held the shivering child tightly against her wet maroon dress.
Claire: I have got you, sweetheart, you are safe now!
She rocked the crying baby back and forth in her arms.
The police officer held Victoria down against the wall firmly.
Victoria: This is a complete misunderstanding, officer!
Officer: Do not move a single inch, lady!
Just then, the outer heavy sunroom doors swung wide open.
Ethan rushed inside the room with two more armed officers.
He took one look at his wet baby and turned furious.
Ethan: Who did this horrible thing to my family?!
Claire looked up with tears streaming down her pale face.
Claire: She put him inside the tank, Ethan!
Ethan stared at Victoria with absolute fury in his dark eyes.
Victoria: She is lying to you, Ethan, I found him there!
Ethan pulled out his sleek smartphone from his grey jacket pocket.
He opened a live security app connected to the home cameras.
The system had recorded every single movement inside the sunroom.
He stepped closer to Victoria while holding the bright screen up.
The clear video showed a hand placing the baby inside the tank.
On the index finger was a rare emerald ring surrounded by diamonds.
Ethan looked down at Victoria's shaking right hand immediately.
The exact same emerald ring was shining brightly on her finger.
Ethan: I know that ring very well, Victoria.
