The sound of distant sirens began to echo down the street.
Sarah squeezed David's fingers with all the strength she had.
Sarah: Is the baby going to be okay, David?
David: The doctors are coming right now, stay strong for me.
Rachel stepped closer to the kneeling couple with fake sympathy.
Rachel: I can stay here and help you explain to the paramedics.
David: You have done quite enough damage for one afternoon, Rachel.
Rachel: You cannot blame me for her poor physical balance!
David stood up slowly from the marble floor with quiet fury.
He turned around to face his sister in the open space.
His posture was stiff, and his jaw was set firmly.
David: You think you can always lie your way out, Rachel.
Rachel: It is my word against hers in this quiet house!
David: You forgot one very important detail about this home.
Rachel blinked in confusion and looked around the large room.
David raised his right hand and pointed directly up high.
A sleek security camera was mounted high on the white ceiling.
A tiny red recording light was blinking slowly and steadily.
The mechanical lens adjusted slightly as it tracked their movements.
Rachel's face turned completely pale as she saw the camera.
Her mouth dropped open in total shock and mounting panic.
Rachel: THE CAMERA IS RECORDING LIVE!
David: Every single angle in this foyer is recorded in high definition.
Rachel: David, please, you must listen to me right now!
David: I do not need to listen to your lies anymore.
The security system was connected directly to a secure cloud server.
The video footage was already saved safely off site permanently.
Rachel's hands began to shake as terror overtook her mind.
She realized her malicious actions were captured on clear tape.
There was no way to delete the file from the cloud.
She stepped back toward the entrance, trying to think fast.
Rachel: We are family, David, we can settle this privately!
David: You ceased being my family the moment you hurt Sarah.
Rachel: Think about our father's legacy and public reputation!
David: You ruined our family legacy with your endless greed.
The sirens grew louder as the emergency vehicles turned into the driveway.
Red and blue lights flashed brightly against the tall glass windows.
David lunged forward slightly, keeping Rachel from escaping the hallway.
He was determined to make sure she faced full justice.
