Officer Vance didn't wait for another word of protest, stepping forward with decisive strength to handle the volatile situation. Scuffling sounds filled the hospital room as Eleanor thrashed wildly, her designer maroon suit twisting out of shape against the sterile white walls. Two additional security guards rushed through the doorway to assist, grabbing her arms and pulling her forcibly away from the hospital bed.
Eleanor: Unhand me, you incompetent fools! Do you know who my husband was?!
Officer Vance: A man whose true will was discovered hidden in his private wall safe yesterday.
Eleanor: That document is a fraudulent fabrication!
Officer Vance: The handwriting experts from the federal bureau verified every single stroke.
Eleanor kicked her heels against the polished linoleum floor, her voice cracking into a high-pitched shriek of pure desperation. The officers held the struggling woman back with iron grips, securing her wrists behind her back as she fought against the metal handcuffs. Hospital staff watched from the corridor with wide eyes, whispering behind their clipboards as the terrifying matriarch was finally brought down.
Eleanor: Marcus! Tell them to let me go! You can't do this to family!
Marcus: The only family you cared about was your bank account, Eleanor.
Eleanor: I gave you a home! I fed you! I raised you!
Marcus: You poisoned my father and pushed Chloe out of a moving car to secure the inheritance.
Eleanor: Prove it! You have zero physical evidence linking me to the accident!
Officer Vance: We found your diamond earring wedged inside the passenger door of the getaway vehicle, Mrs. Sterling.
The color drained entirely from Eleanor's face, replacing her furious crimson flush with an ash-grey pallor of absolute defeat. Her body went limp for a fraction of a second against the officers' hold before she let out a low, pathetic whimper. Officer Vance pulled out his official badge and reading card, beginning the formal recitation required by law.
Officer Vance: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Eleanor: I want my attorney... I want my phone call...
Officer Vance: You'll get your legal call from a holding cell at the federal penitentiary.
