The distant sound of loud police sirens echoed through the suburban neighborhood streets five minutes later.
Two marked patrol cars pulled into the circular marble driveway with flashing red and blue lights.
Four uniformed officers stepped out of their vehicles and moved quickly toward the pool garden area.
Victoria tried to walk quickly toward her sports car parked near the front garage entrance doors.
A tall officer stepped directly into her path and raised his hand to stop her movement.
Police Officer: Ma'am, you need to stay right where you are until we figure this out.
Victoria: I live in this house and I am going inside my living room!
Police Officer: Stand back against the car wall right now, ma'am.
Mark walked out to the front driveway while holding Lily close to his side for safety.
The paramedics hurried toward the back terrace with medical kits to inspect Sarah's fragile health condition.
Mark turned to the chief detective on scene and began explaining the entire sequence of events.
Mark: My daughter heard knocking coming from inside our locked wooden backyard storage shed.
Mark: My wife had the key locked in her purse and tried to pretend it was a pump noise.
Chief Detective: Where is the key to the padlock right now, sir?
Mark pulled the small brass key from his front blue shirt pocket and handed it over.
The detective placed the brass key inside a clear plastic evidence bag with a stern nod.
Two officers walked to the back lawn to inspect the broken shed window and inner conditions.
They found Sarah's missing purse and her original state identification cards hidden beneath a dirty tarp.
The evidence proved beyond any doubt that Sarah had been held against her will inside that shed.
Victoria's lawyer arrived twenty minutes later in a black luxury sedan but could do nothing to stop it.
The police chief walked up to Victoria and pulled steel handcuffs from his leather utility belt.
Chief Detective: Victoria Miller, you are under arrest for kidnapping and criminal endangerment.
Victoria: You are making a huge mistake, I am a very prominent city figure!
Chief Detective: You have the right to remain silent during this arrest procedure.
