The Panic at the Mansion

Victoria: Move faster, Julian! Put the jewelry in the leather case!

Julian: I'm trying! My hands are shaking so bad I can't even enter the safe combination!

The master bedroom of the Vance mansion was in total chaos, with clothes, gold watches, and open passports scattered across the king-sized bed.

Victoria stood near the closet, frantically throwing designer handbags into a large suitcase under the bright overhead lights.

Victoria: How is she alive, Julian?! You told me you watched the car sink into the river yourself!

Julian: I saw the headlights disappear under the water! How was I supposed to know she climbed out through the window?!

Victoria: You incompetent idiot! If she goes to the police, we're facing twenty years in prison!

Julian: She doesn't have proof! It's been five years! The car was scrapped three years ago!

Victoria: Did you see the look on her face tonight?! She didn't look scared, Julian! She looked like she came to execute us!

Julian: We just need to get to the airport before dawn. I have two million dollars in a private bank account in Zurich.

Victoria: What about the house? What about the company shares?

Julian: Forget the house! If we stay here, we'll be in handcuffs by noon!

The bedroom door suddenly slammed open, and three tall men in dark suits stepped into the room, followed by Marcus Reed and two county police deputies.

Deputy Davis: Mr. Julian Vance? Mrs. Victoria Vance?

Julian: What is the meaning of this?! You can't just barge into my private residence without a warrant!

Marcus: We have a warrant, Julian. Signed by Judge Miller less than thirty minutes ago.

Victoria: Marcus?! You traitor! You work for Vance Enterprises!

Marcus: I work for the legitimate owner of Vance Enterprises, Victoria. And that owner is sitting downstairs in the foyer.

Julian: This is ridiculous! Clara is dead! She died five years ago in an accident!

Deputy Davis: Step away from the safe, sir. Place your hands on top of your head.

Victoria: Don't touch him! We haven't been charged with any crime!

Marcus: You are being charged with grand theft, identity fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit attempted murder.

Julian's knees gave out, and he collapsed onto the edge of the bed, staring at the floor with wide, hollow eyes.

Julian: It's over... it's all over.

Victoria: Shut up, Julian! Get up and call our lawyers!

Deputy Davis: Ma'am, turn around and place your hands behind your back. You're coming with us to the central precinct.

Deputy Davis pulled Victoria's arms behind her back, snapping heavy steel handcuffs around her wrists as she screamed in rage.

Victoria: Clara! I know you're listening! You won't get away with this!

Clara walked slowly up the stairs, her black apron replaced by a sharp grey business suit, looking down at Victoria with quiet disdain.

Clara: I already have, Victoria. Take them away.
