Chapter 5 - Emma Reveals The Hidden Micro SD Card Location
Julian gently set Emma down on the soft beige leather sofa, kneeling before her so his gray eyes were level with her tear-filled hazel ones.
“Emma, sweetie,” Julian asked softly, smoothing back her dark hair from her forehead. “Where did your mother tell you to keep the small black card?”
Emma reached up to her neck, pulling a thin silver chain from beneath the collar of her emerald dress, revealing a heart-shaped locket resting against her chest.
She clicked the small silver latch open with her thumbnail, exposing a tiny, high-capacity micro SD memory card tucked neatly inside the velvet lining.
“Mommy said this card has the video of Aunt Claire and Uncle Victor in the garage on the night the car brakes stopped working,” Emma whispered clearly.
Victor’s face drained of every drop of color, his jaw dropping open in utter shock as he realized the seven-year-old child had fooled them for months.
“Get that locket!” Victor roared to his two private guards, pointing a trembling finger toward the little girl sitting on the leather sofa.
Before the guards could take a single step forward, the high-pitched wail of multiple emergency sirens echoed down the long, tree-lined driveway outside.

Red and blue strobe lights flashed through the tall arched glass windows of the living room, illuminating the dark wood panels in bright, rapid pulses.
Julian stood up, stepping directly between his daughter and the armed guards with a cold, terrifying smile appearing on his sharp face.
