Three police cruisers pulled up along the circular driveway with tires screeching loudly.
Armed officers stepped out of their vehicles and rushed through the grand front doors.
The metallic clink of their duty belts resonated through the bright white hall.
Police Officer: Nobody move! Everyone keep your hands where we can see them!
Marcus immediately raised his hands calmly to show he was not a threat.
Marcus: Officers, I am the head of security who placed the emergency call.
Police Officer: What happened here, sir?
Marcus: That woman in the red dress shoved Victoria off the upper balcony.
Evelyn immediately raised her hands and put on a fake crying face.
Evelyn: Officer, that is completely untrue! They are setting me up!
Victoria: Look at the security camera mounted right on that wall!
Victoria pointed up toward the ceiling near the central hallway light.
A sleek high-definition camera was aimed directly at the upper balcony railing.
Evelyn's face dropped instantly as she stared at the tiny blinking red light.
She had completely forgotten that Marcus had installed new security cameras last week.
Marcus: The entire incident was recorded in high definition on our secure server.
Police Officer: Check the feed right now on your security monitor, corporal.
One of the junior officers walked over to the main security panel near the entrance.
He tapped the screen and played back the clip from two minutes ago.
The video clearly showed Evelyn violently shoving Victoria over the balustrade.
The officer turned back to his captain and gave a firm, stern nod.
Police Officer: We have clear video evidence of assault and attempted murder.
Evelyn: No! That footage is fake! You cannot do this to me!
The lead officer stepped forward and grabbed Evelyn's arms firmly behind her back.
The sound of metallic handcuffs clanking echoed loudly through the high foyer.
Evelyn struggled against the officer's grip, screaming in utter desperation.
Evelyn: Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am?
Police Officer: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
