Chapter 4 - The Theatre of InnocencePolice arrived within minutes.
Victoria transformed instantly.
She ran through the front door crying, throwing herself toward Sergeant Miller.
"Help me!"
Her pearls shook. Her silk blouse was deliberately disheveled. Tears streamed down her face.
"My daughter-in-law has lost her mind!"
She pointed toward the kitchen.
"She attacked me!"
Then she pointed at Alejandro.
"And that man broke into my house!"
Sergeant Miller entered with two officers.
"Sir, hands where I can see them!"
Alejandro raised both hands.
"Sergeant Miller, look at my uniform."
Miller hesitated.
Alejandro identified himself and explained that he was the property's owner.
Then he revealed the most devastating evidence.
A tactical body camera.
Victoria had disconnected the household security system.
She had forgotten that Alejandro had activated his own operational camera during his return.
He pressed play.
Her own voice filled the room.
"Put your name on those custody papers, or this baby will pay for your stubbornness."
Silence.

Victoria's performance collapsed.
The theater was over.
