Chapter 4 - The Police Arrival
"My six-year-old daughter was locked inside an industrial freezer by that woman, Officer," Mark stated, his voice trembling with righteous fury.
He swiped through his phone screen, showing the officers high-resolution photos of the heavy metal door and Lily's freezing injuries.
Officer Thomas stared at the images, his expression shifting from suspicion to utter shock and disgust.
"She put a six-year-old child in an industrial freezer?" Officer Thomas gasped, looking over at Lily resting on the hospital bed.
"She said it was to 'teach her a lesson,'" Mark replied coldly, adjusting his dark denim jeans as he stood tall.
"Where is Eleanor Vance right now?" the second officer asked, reaching for his radio unit.
"She was still on my garage floor when I left, but she has enough money to hire a army of lawyers," Mark warned grimly.
Officer Thomas pressed his radio button, dispatching a patrol unit directly to Mark's residence to secure the scene.
"Mr. Vance, stay with your daughter," Officer Thomas instructed gently. "We are opening a felony child endangerment investigation immediately."

Mark nodded, turning back to Lily's bedside as the officers rushed out to execute an emergency arrest warrant.
