The flashing red and blue lights illuminated the grand windows of the front mansion entryway.
Two police officers pushed through the front door with medical paramedics right behind them carefully.
The paramedics quickly rushed over to Clara to check her vital signs and neck stability.
Officer Davis turned to face the family while his partner secured the immediate staircase area.
Officer Davis: Who called emergency services, and what exactly happened inside this house tonight?
Richard: My niece Victoria pushed her sister Clara down those stairs during an argument.
Victoria: That is a complete lie! She slipped on her long robe while walking down!
Clara: She shoved me because I had proof that she committed grand fraud against me.
Officer Davis looked down at the scattered legal documents lying across the cold marble floor.
He walked over slowly and picked up the paper containing the official court seal impression.
Officer Davis: Ma'am, these legal papers are official court evidence under state law standards.
Victoria: My sister is making false claims because she wants my bank account funds!
Eleanor: We all heard you shouting at her right before she tumbled down those steps!
Victoria: I was only defending myself when she attacked me at the top landing!
The paramedic lifted Clara gently onto a soft orange stretcher to transport her safely.
Paramedic: She has severe bruises and possible sprains, but her life is out of danger.
Clara looked directly at Victoria with calm determination in her tired pale blue eyes.
Clara: The truth is out now, Victoria, and you cannot run away from it anymore.
Victoria: You ruined my life over some stupid piece of paper signed years ago!
Officer Davis: Ma'am, step forward and place your hands behind your back right now.
Victoria backed away against the wood wall, her hands shaking uncontrollably with deep fear.
Victoria: You have no right to arrest me in my own family home tonight!
Officer Davis: You are under arrest for assault and suspected grand financial forgery right now.
