Two marked police cruisers pulled into the wide driveway with lights flashing brightly.
Mark's trusted personal attorney David stepped out of his car right behind them.
Mark unlocked the heavy front door and welcomed the officers into the hallway.
Police Officer: Mr. Mark, we received a call regarding fraud and domestic disturbance.
Mark: Yes, officer. My wife attempted to forge trust documents and mistreated my children.
Mark handed the yellow manila folder directly to the primary investigating officer.
David stepped forward to examine the forged legal signatures inside the file.
David: This is clear evidence of grand larceny attempt and document forgery, officer.
Evelyn: This is a private family matter that should be handled privately!
Police Officer: Ma'am, forging legal trust documents is a severe felony crime.
The officer walked over to Evelyn and instructed her to turn around slowly.
He placed heavy metal handcuffs around her wrists without any further delay.
Evelyn: Mark, you cannot let them arrest me like this in public!
Mark: You made your choice when you harmed my children for money.
The officers guided Evelyn out the front door toward the waiting patrol car.
David placed a comforting hand on Mark's shoulder as they watched her leave.
David: We will file for full emergency custody and a complete divorce tomorrow.
Mark: Make sure she never gets near my children or estate ever again.
David: I will handle all court filings personally starting early tomorrow morning.
The police vehicles drove away, leaving the grand neighborhood quiet once again.
Mark turned back toward the bright hallway where his children were resting safely.
He walked over and sat down on the soft carpet beside Emily and Toby.
Mark: The danger is completely gone now, my brave little girl.
Emily: Are we going to be okay all by ourselves now, Daddy?
Mark: We are going to be better than okay, sweetheart. We are safe.
He wrapped his arms around both children in a tight, loving family embrace.
