The big dining hall was finally completely quiet and silent once again.
The morning sun shone bright through the giant glass windows on high.
Lucas set Toby down gentle on a clean spot of the marble floor.
He knelt down in front of his sweet son and wiped his tears.
Lucas: Are you okay now, my little champion boy?
Toby: Yes, Daddy, but I am still a little bit hungry inside.
Lucas smiled warm and gave Toby a sweet kiss on his forehead.
Lucas: Let us go into the clean kitchen and cook something great.
Lucas took Toby's small hand and walked into the main kitchen room.
He called the head house chef and asked for fresh warm food.
Within twenty minutes, the chef served a big plate of fresh pancakes.
Toby ate his delicious warm food with a big happy smile again.
Lucas sat beside him, sipping hot tea and feeling deep peaceful relief.
He knew he had made the right choice protecting his sweet son.
No amount of money or family obligation was worth Toby's happiness.
Later that afternoon, the clean-up team restored the dining hall fast.
A brand new mahogany dining table was delivered and set up nicely.
The white marble floors were washed until they sparkled like bright glass.
The framed American flag hung clean and proud on the central wall.
Outside the locked front gates, Evelyn and Victoria sat on the curb.
Their fancy dresses were dirty and ruined from the dirty street ground.
Their credit cards had all been declined at the nearest local cafe.
They had no place to go and no money left to spend.
They finally realized the dark cost of their terrible, cruel actions today.
They had lost everything because they chose to hurt an innocent child.
Meanwhile, inside the quiet mansion, Lucas and Toby played games together.
They sat on the soft carpet floor building tall wooden toy towers.
Toby laughed loud and free as his father helped him build higher.
The home was finally filled with true love and total safety now.
Lucas swore to protect his son from any bad people forevermore.
Justice had been served, and truth had won the long dark battle.
