Chapter 6 - Nora Tries to Escape Through the Back Patio Door
Realizing the digital evidence on the laptop sealed her fate forever, Nora bolted from the bedroom upstairs.
Her footsteps pounded heavily down the wooden staircase toward the back of the house.
“She’s running for the patio door!” Mrs. Gable shouted, pointing toward the dark hallway.
Mark jumped up from the kitchen table, sprinting through the dining room with absolute fury in his eyes.
He lunged forward just as Nora yanked open the sliding glass door leading out to the dark backyard.
Mark grabbed the back of her designer jacket, yanking her backward with enough force to send her crashing to the floor.
“You are not going anywhere, Nora! You are staying right here until the police arrive!” Mark yelled.
Nora kicked wildly, her manicured fingernails scratching desperately at his arms in a frantic bid for freedom.
“Let me go, Mark! Sarah was sick! She was losing her mind!” Nora screamed hysterically into the night air.

“Save your lies for a federal judge,” Mark muttered, pinning her wrists securely against the kitchen tiles.
