Elena sat on the edge of her small bed while holding the tiny blinking silver recorder in her hands.
She remembered pressing the side recording button right before walking out to deliver the clean white towels.
Her thumb trembled slightly as she pulled the small device out from her wet navy apron pocket carefully.
She wiped the wet metal casing on her dry shirt sleeve before pressing the small black play button.
The small speaker produced a crisp sound of wind along with the clear sound of chirping summer crickets.
Then the loud voice of Victoria echoed clearly through the quiet bedroom from the tiny internal speaker.
Victoria: Without this annoying little baby around, all the family trust fund money stays mine.
The chilling words on the audio file were followed immediately by the loud splash of the stroller falling.
Elena gasped in surprise as she listened to the clear evidence stored safely on her small recorder.
She knew this audio file proved beyond any reasonable doubt that Victoria had planned the horrific act.
She packed her small brown suitcase quickly and zipped the heavy black top zipper closed with determination.
She walked quietly out the side entrance door of the grand mansion into the cool midnight darkness outside.
She walked down the long paved driveway toward the quiet main road under the bright street lights above.
She took out her personal phone and dialed the phone number of a trusted local legal advocate she knew.
Lawyer: Hello Elena, why are you calling my office so late at night?
Elena: I have crucial evidence about a serious crime committed against a defenseless child.
Lawyer: Meet me at my city office downtown tomorrow morning at eight o'clock sharp.
Elena spent the remainder of the long cold night resting quietly on a wooden bench inside a diner.
She held her small brown handbag close to her chest so nobody could take the valuable silver recorder.
She drank warm black coffee while watching the bright morning sun slowly rise over the city buildings.
When eight o'clock arrived, she walked briskly into the tall glass office building in downtown Dallas Texas.
Lawyer Sarah Jenkins welcomed Elena warmly into her private conference room near the front glass window.
Elena placed the small silver voice recorder directly on the polished wooden table between them both.
Sarah listened carefully to the clear recording three separate times without uttering a single spoken word.
Lawyer: This audio file is strong enough to start an immediate emergency police investigation today.
