Chapter 8 - The Secret Camera
Brenda Walsh backed away slightly, her confident demeanor cracking under Mark's intense, accusatory stare.

"I am ordering an emergency temporary removal of the child pending a full psychiatric evaluation," she announced pompously.

Mark had installed the high-definition camera inside an overhead smoke detector two weeks prior for home security.
He played the crystal-clear video file from the previous evening, turning the laptop screen toward Brenda Walsh.

It also captured Eleanor laughing cold-heartedly as Lily screamed for help from inside the dark metal chamber.
