Mark pointed toward the open bathroom door with an unwavering finger.
Mark: Walk down the stairs right now where I can see you!
Evelyn kept her hands visible as she walked slowly down the hallway.
Mark followed two paces behind while keeping Owen cradled safely against his shoulder.
They reached the large living room under the high ceiling and prominent wall art.
Mark backed up toward the home office desk to grab his main landline phone.
Mark: Sit down on that sofa and do not move a muscle!
Evelyn: If you call the police they will come after my family too!
Mark: You should have thought about that before coming into my home!
Mark dialed the local emergency number and put the call on speakerphone mode.
The dispatcher answered promptly and asked for the location of the emergency.
Mark gave his residential address clearly while keeping his eyes locked on Evelyn.
He reported an attempted child abduction inside his own primary residence.
Evelyn began to cry softly into her hands on the leather couch.
Evelyn: They said your wife signed papers for this transfer!
Mark froze as he finished giving the details to the dispatcher.
Mark: What did you just say about my wife Sarah?
Evelyn: The person who hired me had documents with her legal signature attached!
Mark: Sarah would never agree to anything like that in her life!
Evelyn: They showed me a legal custody paper yesterday afternoon!
Mark felt his mind spinning as new questions began to surface rapidly.
Sarah was currently in another city attending a corporate finance seminar.
She had personally selected Evelyn from a local vetted nanny agency three weeks ago.
Mark: Who gave you those forged legal documents yesterday?
Evelyn: A man met me at the coffee shop near the central bank!
Mark: Describe what he looked like right now!
