Chapter 6 - Local Police Interrogate The Calm And Calculated Stepmother
Two uniformed police officers remained inside the house, standing guard outside the locked master bedroom door.
Sergeant Miller tapped his flashlight against his thigh as he ordered Sarah to open the door from within.
The lock clicked, and Sarah stepped out into the hallway, smoothing down the fabric of her deep purple dress.
“I demand to know why you’re detaining me in my own home; this is a complete overreach,” Sarah demanded coldly.
“Ma’am, you’re being detained for questioning regarding severe child neglect and suspected abuse,” Sergeant Miller stated flatly.
Sarah crossed her arms, adopting an air of supreme entitlement that failed to mask her underlying sweat and tension.
“My husband is a respected man in this community, and my lawyer will tear your department apart by morning,” she threatened.
“Your husband is currently at the hospital with the children, and our detectives are searching this house right now,” Miller replied.
