Chapter 4 - Margaret Attempts to Escape While Police Are Called
As the medical team wheeled Emily toward the front door, Margaret slowly backed away toward the kitchen.
She slipped her hand into her coat pocket, gripping her car keys with trembling, manicured fingers.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Ryan asked, spinning around with a lethal glare in his eyes.
“I need to check on my car, Ryan, let me pass,” Margaret lied smoothly, her voice shaking uncontrollably.
“You aren't going anywhere until the police arrive,” Jessica intervened, stepping squarely into the hallway.
Margaret’s face twisted into an ugly mask of pure fury as she stared down her own daughter.
“You betray your own flesh and blood for a stranger?” Margaret shrieked, losing all her composure.
“You are a monster who murdered a mother twenty-six years ago!” Jessica yelled back tearfully.
Blue and red police cruiser lights suddenly flooded the driveway as two local Atlanta police officers approached the porch.
