Sirens echoed in the distance as police cars drove quickly up the long paved driveway.
The loud red and blue lights flashed through the tall glass windows of the mansion entry.
Three tall uniformed officers burst through the grand front doors with stern expressions on their faces.
David stepped forward to meet them while pointing directly up toward the balcony area.
David: Arrest this woman for attempted harm against Miss Maya Vance today.
Officer: Is this true, ma'am?
Maya: She pushed me from the top balcony to take my inheritance money.
The lead officer moved quickly to grab Evelyn's wrists before she could turn around.
He placed heavy metal handcuffs on her wrists with a sharp clicking noise that echoed.
Evelyn: You cannot do this to me in my own house!
Officer: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
They led the screaming woman out through the massive doors toward the waiting patrol car.
Maya let out a long breath of relief as the house finally grew silent again.
David handed her a small glass of water from the kitchen counter nearby.
David: Your father hired me to protect you from harm, Miss Maya.
Maya: He knew she was dangerous, didn't he?
David: He had his doubts during his final days on earth.
Maya drank the cold water while sitting on the soft leather sofa near the entry.
She looked up at the large framed American flag hanging on the high wall.
Her father had put that flag there to remind them of truth and justice.
