Chapter 6 - The Little Girl Whispers A Secret About Family Safe
Little Lily peeked out from behind Clara’s shoulder, her big blue eyes blinking in the bright nursery lighting.
“Daddy... mommy put a big metal box inside the wall behind the American flag,” Lily whispered softly.
Arthur paused, turning his gaze from the phone toward the large flag hanging proudly on the marble wall.
“What did you say, sweetheart? What’s behind the flag?” Arthur asked, kneeling down to eye level with his daughter.
“I saw her hiding shiny papers in the little hole when she thought I was sleeping,” Lily explained innocently.
Victoria let out a strangled gasp of pure horror, thrashing violently against the heavy zip-ties binding her wrists.
“Don't listen to her! The child has hallucinations! She doesn't know anything!” Victoria screamed frantically.
Arthur stood up, walking toward the framed patriotic banner with deliberate, unhurried footsteps.
He grabbed the wooden edges of the heavy frame and lifted it away from the reinforced marble mounting.
