Sarah pulled herself up from the couch, her eyes burning with fury.
Sarah: You cannot keep Tommy away from his biological mother!
Brandon held Tommy safely against his chest, shielding him completely.
Brandon: You put him in danger every single day with this sick game!
He pulled his cell phone out of his jacket pocket with one hand.
Sarah lunged forward, trying to grab the phone out of his fingers.
Sarah: Do not call anyone, Brandon, we can settle this privately!
Brandon stepped back smoothly, easily avoiding her desperate reach.
Brandon: You committed major wire fraud and grand theft, Sarah!
He dialed three quick numbers and placed the phone to his ear.
Brandon: I am calling emergency services and my divorce lawyer right now!
Sarah sank to her knees on the floor, weeping hysterically.
Her dramatic tears no longer moved Brandon's heart in any way.
He saw through every single trick she had ever pulled on him.
The police dispatcher answered the call on the second ring.
Brandon: I need emergency officers at my address immediately for domestic fraud.
Sarah scrambled to her feet and tore the fake cast off her leg.
The leg underneath was completely healthy, uninjured, and fully functional.
She looked down at the plastic prop on the carpet in embarrassment.
Sarah: You ruined everything I worked so hard to build!
Brandon: You ruined your own life the moment you targeted my son!
Within ten minutes, red and blue lights flashed through the front windows.
Two Dallas police officers walked briskly through the open double doors.
Brandon handed over the stolen trust fund papers directly to the senior officer.
Officer: Ma'am, you need to stand up and keep your hands visible.
Sarah backed against the wall, shouting wildly at the uniformed officers.
Sarah: He set me up, he forced me to do all of it!
The officer calmly placed heavy steel handcuffs around her wrist joints.
Officer: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
Brandon watched silently as they led her out through the tall front doorway.
He held little Tommy tighter, feeling a massive wave of pure relief.
The immediate threat to his family had finally been removed today.
