Mark: Why would anyone deliberately unleash a killer animal into a park full of kids?!
Sarah: It doesn't make any sense! What could he possibly gain from doing something so evil?
Officer Miller: Davis, put cuffs on this security guard right now! We are holding him for obstruction and animal endangerment!
Arthur Blackwood: You are making a huge mistake, Officer. You'll lose your badge for this by tomorrow morning!
Officer Miller: I'd rather lose my badge than let a scumbag like you put kids in danger. Talk, guard! Why do you have the electronic release remote in your pocket?
Security Guard: I... I was just following orders! He paid me ten thousand dollars in cash to trigger the latch from the tree line!
Arthur Blackwood: Shut your mouth, you fool!
Security Guard: No way, Blackwood! I'm not taking a felony animal attack wrap for you! He wanted the city to shut down the park permanently!
Mark: Shut down the park? Why?
Security Guard: Blackwood bought all the land surrounding this public property. The town refused to sell him the park land for his commercial mall project. If a dangerous animal attack happened here, the city council would deem the park unsafe and sell the deed to him for cheap!
Sarah: You unleashed a wild beast near toddlers just to drop the real estate value of a public park?!
Mark: You absolute monster!
Arthur Blackwood: His statement is completely uncorroborated! He's a disgruntled employee lying to save his own skin!
Officer Miller: We'll see what a judge thinks when we audit your bank accounts and check the frequency logs on that remote control, Blackwood.
Officer Miller pulled Arthur Blackwood's arms behind his back, clicking heavy steel handcuffs firmly around the billionaire's wrists.
Arthur Blackwood: Do you have any idea how many high-priced defense lawyers I have on retainer? I'll be out of jail before dinner!
Mark: Maybe so... but you won't escape the press conference I'm setting up with every news outlet in Texas within the hour.
Sarah: And every parent in this town is going to know exactly what you tried to do to our children.
Arthur Blackwood: You wouldn't dare...
Mark: Try us. My daughter almost died today because of your greed. I'm going to make sure you lose every single cent of your estate to pay for it.
Duke stepped up next to Mark, letting out a sharp, decisive bark as if agreeing with every word. Arthur Blackwood paled as the officers shoved him into the back of the police cruiser.
Officer Miller: You okay, Mark?
Mark: Better now. But there's one more thing we need to take care of before we head to the police station to file our statements.
Sarah: What's that, honey?
Mark: We need to buy this brave dog the biggest steak in the state of Texas.
