Elena quickly pushed the thick wooden door shut and locked it from the inside.
Outside in the hallway, Clara began beating her heavy fists against the thick wood.
The loud banging noises echoed through the quiet library like sharp bursts of thunder.
Clara: Open this door immediately or I will have the guards break it down!
Elena: I am calling Arthur on the landline phone right now, Clara!
Elena rushed over to the grand wooden desk sitting in the middle of the room.
She picked up the black landline telephone, but there was no dial tone at all.
Clara had already cut the communication wires from the main control panel outside.
Tears of deep frustration began to stream down Elena's warm and tired cheeks.
She looked down at the sweet baby boy who was staring up with big brown eyes.
Elena: We are trapped in here, my little darling, but I will not give up.
She searched through the desk drawers desperately to find any kind of working device.
Underneath a stack of business papers, she spotted an old backup satellite cell phone.
It belonged to Arthur for emergency business calls when traveling in remote areas.
Elena's hands trembled as she quickly dialed the long international telephone number.
The line began to ring slowly, each beep feeling like an eternity in her mind.
Outside the door, the sound of heavy footsteps revealed that security guards had arrived.
Clara: Break the lock and throw that thieving nanny out onto the driveway now!
Elena pressed the small phone tightly against her ear as the lock began to crack.
Suddenly, a deep familiar voice answered the phone on the very fifth ring.
Arthur: Hello? Who is calling me on this private emergency satellite line right now?
Elena: Arthur! It is Elena! Please listen to me very carefully before they break in!
Arthur: Elena? Why do you sound so terrified? Is my son completely safe?
Elena: Clara has tricked you! She cut the phone lines and locked us in!
Arthur: What are you talking about? Clara told me you abandoned the baby yesterday!
Elena: She lied to you! She is trying to steal the trust fund right now!
The door frame let out a loud splintering sound as the guards pushed against it.
Arthur heard the heavy crashes over the phone line and let out a furious gasp.
Arthur: I am turning my car around right now! I never left for Europe!
Elena: Please hurry, Arthur! They are breaking through the library door right this second!
Arthur: Hold on, Elena! I will be through those gates in less than five minutes!
The library door suddenly burst open with a loud and terrifying wood-shattering crash.
