Chapter 5 - Local Police Detain Margaret Inside The Grand Estate Foyer
Before Margaret could turn toward the private elevator, heavy boots echoed across the marble floor of the foyer. Two local police officers, drawn by the automated panic alarm linked to the security system, stepped inside with their hands on their holsters.
“Margaret Sterling, you are under arrest for attempted murder and elder conspiracy,” the lead officer stated clearly, pulling out steel handcuffs. Margaret thrashed against the officer's grip, her pristine crimson suit wrinkling as she was forced against the wall.

“You cannot touch me! My family built this town! Do you know who I am?!” Margaret shrieked hysterically. The handcuffs clicked into place with finality, sealing her fate under the harsh light of the crystal chandelier.
She was dragged out through the front doors, her reign of terror over the estate officially brought to an end.
