Elena walked down the long driveway with her small suitcase in her hand.
The heavy iron gates of the Sterling estate closed slowly behind her back.
She sat down on the stone bench near the bus stop across the street.
She needed to think clearly about how to save little Leo from Evelyn.
Suddenly, she remembered something very important about the mansion's nursery room.
Arthur had installed a smart baby monitor system in Leo's bedroom last month.
The baby monitor had a small wide-angle camera mounted on the top wall frame.
That camera was connected directly to a cloud storage application on Elena's phone.
The camera pointed through the open bedroom door straight at the balcony hallway.
The monitor system ran on its own backup battery independent of house power.
Elena quickly pulled her smartphone out of her small brown leather purse.
Her fingers trembled as she opened the security application on the screen.
She scrolled back through the recorded video feed from thirty minutes ago today.
The clear High-Definition video footage loaded onto her phone screen within seconds.
The clip showed Evelyn walking over to the wooden walker near the stairs.
It showed Evelyn intentionally unlocking the safety brakes and pushing the child.
It clearly captured Elena running out of the laundry room to save him.
The video also showed Evelyn slipping the diamond necklace into Elena's apron pocket.
Elena: I have you now, Evelyn.
Elena saved the entire video file directly to her phone's primary memory drive.
She stood up from the stone bench with renewed courage and determination inside.
She turned around and marched straight back toward the heavy iron gates.
She pressed the security intercom button firmly near the gate entrance post.
Arthur: I told you to leave my property immediately, Elena.
Elena: Look at your phone right now, Mr. Sterling!
Elena: I just sent you the baby monitor video from the hallway!
