Chapter 12 - The Hallway Standoff
Margaret raised her firearm, aiming straight at Lorraine's chest.
"Drop the weapon, Lorraine! Police are three minutes away!"
Lorraine chuckled coldly, not lowering her gun an inch.
"Your police cannot save you tonight, Margaret," Lorraine.
"I created this entire game thirty-two years ago."
"I gave Emily to your husband to build wealth."
"And now, I am taking back what belongs me."
I stepped in front of my mother Margaret bravely.
"You poisoned me for six months, Lorraine!" I.
"You are not a mother! You are a monster!"
Lorraine's eyes flashed with pure, unhinged, dangerous madness.
"I gave you life, Emily! You owe me!"
"I owe you nothing but justice," I answered firmly.
Lorraine touched her finger to the cold steel trigger.
Before she could fire her weapon inside hallway today,
A loud gunshot shattered the quiet night air outside.
The bullet struck Lorraine's shoulder through front window.
Lorraine let out a painful scream, dropping her gun.
She collapsed onto the hardwood floor, groaning in pain.
Special Agent Harris kicked the door open with force.
Armed FBI agents swarmed the entryway with rifles ready.
