Bright red and blue police lights flashed outside the mansion windows.
Two local police officers walked quickly through the front double doors.
An emergency medical team followed right behind them with medical bags.
Arthur stood near the framed flag with his arms held high.
Officer Miller stepped forward and put metal cuffs on Arthur's wrists.
Officer Miller: Arthur Vance, you are under arrest right now.
Arthur: This is a massive misunderstanding between my wife and me!
Arthur: I am a legal professional with a strong clean reputation!
Officer Miller: You can save those words for the courtroom judge.
The paramedics knelt down right next to Sarah and Lilly now.
They wrapped a warm yellow wool blanket around Sarah's shoulders gently.
Paramedic: You are completely safe now, ma'am.
Sarah: Thank you so much for coming so fast.
Sarah looked over at her husband with deep sadness and anger.
She explained how Arthur tried to hide her from family members.
Arthur wanted full control of her late grandfather's large inheritance fund.
The trust fund was worth ten million dollars in liquid cash assets.
Sarah refused to sign the property rights over to Arthur last month.
So Arthur trapped her inside the hidden reinforced wall room quietly.
He told everyone in town that she had left for a trip.
He planned to force her signature on legal papers this week.
Lilly held her mother's cold right hand with deep comfort.
Lilly: I heard you tapping on the dark wood wall, Mom.
Sarah: You were so brave today, my sweet brave girl.
The police officers led Arthur out through the front glass entrance.
He kept shouting about his legal power and high professional standing.
Nobody in the high hallway paid any attention to his shouts.
The paramedics helped Sarah stand up slowly on her feet now.
Lilly walked right beside her mother through the bright main hall.
They walked past the high framed flag hanging on the wall.
The dark dark nightmare inside the mansion was finally over today.
Sarah looked at the broken wooden doorway one last time briefly.
She knew their lives would change forever after this terrible morning.
They stepped outside into the clean fresh air and warm daylight.
