Eleanor stopped near the railing, turning her silver head slowly to face Nora.
"You really are persistent, Nora," Eleanor said, a cold smirk spreading across her face. "Just like your foolish husband was."
"You killed my husband, didn't you?" Nora challenged, taking three bold steps forward. "His car accident wasn't an equipment failure!"

"Police! Drop your weapons!" Jackson bellowed, holding up his badge.
The guards hesitated, looking nervously between Jackson and Eleanor.
"Shoot him!" Eleanor commanded sharply. "He has no jurisdiction here!"

"Don't shoot!" Chloe screamed, walking toward her mother. "I submitted the DNA samples to the state crime lab yesterday, Mother! The results are already on the federal server!"
