Mark sat staring at the computer screen in utter silence.
He replayed the ten-second video clip three times in a row.
There was no mistaking what his eyes were seeing now.
Sarah had deliberately pushed their baby toward the dangerous stairs.
Elena had dived across the floor to save his son's life.
A surge of dark anger washed over Mark's entire chest.
He saved the video file directly to his personal phone drive.
Then he dialed his divorce lawyer and the local police precinct.
He spoke in a low, cold whisper into the phone receiver.
Mark: I need officers at my residence immediately for child endangerment.
He hung up the phone and walked out into the foyer.
Sarah was standing by the mirror fixing her blonde hair.
She smiled as Mark walked down the grand marble staircase.
Sarah: Is the baby sleeping now, honey? You look so tired.
Mark: He is fine. No thanks to you, Sarah.
Sarah's smile faded slightly as she noticed his cold tone.
Sarah: What is that supposed to mean, Mark? I was terrified!
Mark lifted his smartphone and hit the play button screen.
He held the bright screen two inches from her red face.
The video played clearly with crisp sound and high frame rate.
Sarah watched her own hand push the stroller handle forward.
Her jaw dropped open and her glass slipped from her hand.
The orange juice splashed across the white marble floor below.
Sarah: Mark... wait! That is not what it looks like!
Mark: Shut your mouth! Do not say another word to me!
Sarah: I was just trying to fix the brake latch system!
Mark: You tried to harm my son for trust fund money!
Sarah took a quick step backward toward the main exit doors.
The loud sound of police sirens filled the outside driveway.
Two uniformed officers stepped quickly through the wide front doors.
Mark pointed directly at Sarah without taking his eyes off her.
Mark: Arrest this woman right now for attempted child abuse.
The officers moved fast and pulled Sarah's hands behind her back.
Sarah began to scream and cry as steel handcuffs clicked tight.
Sarah: Mark, please! You can't do this to your wife!
They led her out the front entrance into the bright daylight.
