Chapter 6 - Stepmother Attempts To Stop The Grandfather Search

She held a heavy crystal decanter in her right hand, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the glass neck.
“You shouldn't have looked in those files, Arthur. You’ve sealed your own fate,” Elena hissed, stepping into the room.
Arthur placed Lily safely behind his broad back, his eyes locked onto the dangerous object in Elena’s raised hand.
“Put the glass down, Elena. The police are already on their way, and your game is officially over,” Arthur warned.
Elena let out a harsh, bitter laugh that echoed off the cramped walls of the hidden storage chamber.
“The police? In this town? My brother is the district attorney, Arthur! No one is coming to save you!”
She stepped forward, raising the heavy decanter high above her head with murderous intent gleaming in her eyes.

Lily screamed, burying her face into Arthur’s tweed jacket as the glass began its downward descent toward them.
Arthur moved with astonishing speed, catching Elena’s wrist mid-air and twisting it until the decanter shattered on the floor.
