Chapter 4
Mara waited in the nursery,
watching the monitors very closely.
She held a baseball bat,
ready to protect the boy.
Adrian returned to the room,
closing the door gently behind him.
He looked at the brave woman,
nodding his head in silent thanks.
He had researched her past,
knowing the theft charges were fake.
She had been set up before,
by a family just like his.
That was why he hired her,
knowing she would be vigilant.
He needed a perfect bait,
someone his family would underestimate.
Mara had played her part well,
catching the tampering just in time.
She pointed at the screen,
showing the front gate camera.
A black car had arrived,
sitting quietly in the driveway.
Adrian recognized the license plate,
knowing it belonged to a fixer.
His mother had called for backup,
hoping to erase the messy evidence.
But the gates were locked tight,
and the network was completely isolated.
The fixer could not get inside,
and could not hack the system.
Adrian picked up his phone,
calling the local police chief.
He explained the grim situation,
sending the video files securely.
The chief was deeply shocked,
promising to send units immediately.
Adrian hung up the phone,
feeling a strange sense of peace.
The storm was finally breaking,
and the truth was coming out.
He walked over to the bed,
brushing the hair from Leo's face.
The boy stirred a little,
dreaming a quiet peaceful dream.
He would never know the danger,
or the monsters in his bloodline.
Mara stood by the window,
watching the red and blue lights.
The police were arriving fast,
surrounding the entire large estate.
Sirens wailed in the distance,
cutting through the quiet morning.
Adrian felt a heavy weight lift,
ready to end this nightmare.
He picked up the poisoned syringe,
placing it in a plastic bag.

It was the final missing piece,
the nail in their cold coffins.
