The micro-film roll was wrapped in protective clear plastic inside.
Elena held the small piece of history high in the air.
Richard lunged forward to grab the tiny capsule from her fingers.
Elena darted to the right around the large wooden rocking chair.
Elena: Stay back, or I will call my divorce lawyer!
Richard: A lawyer cannot help you against a signed deed!
Elena: That deed is fake, and this film proves it!
Richard panted heavily as he blocked the doorway to the cabin.
He knew his multi-million dollar business empire was on the line.
If the truth came out, he would lose everything he stole.
He might even face serious time inside a federal courtroom.
Elena pulled her cell phone out of her matching green pocket.
She pointed the phone camera directly at her uncle's face.
Elena: I am recording this entire exchange for my attorney.
Richard: You are ruining this family's public reputation!
Elena: You ruined this family when you betrayed my mother!
Richard took a slow breath and tried to look calm again.
He smoothed down his tie and adjusted his gold watch.
Richard: We can easily split the life insurance payout, Elena.
Elena: I do not want your dirty, stolen money.
Richard: Think about your future financial security before you speak.
Elena pointed her finger firmly toward the gravel driveway below.
Elena: Get off this property before the sheriff arrives.
Richard glared at her with pure hatred in his eyes.
He realized that his young niece was no longer afraid.
He turned around slowly and stormed toward his luxury car.
The heavy car door slammed shut with a sharp bang.
