What concerned him most were his children: Mike, 17, and Brooke, 15. Did they know what Carla was doing? He hated to think that the kids knew that their mother was having an affair. The very thought that his beloved wife was having sex with another man infuriated him. But he had to be sure. Then, on one of his business trips, he came across the answer. He was wandering through an electronics store, and came across a section filled with surveillance equipment. He eagerly picked out a small video camera with microphone and built-in motion sensor, a VCR, and a book on surveillance techniques. Going back to his hotel room, he eagerly read through the book, and by the time he returned home, his plan was ready to be put into motion.

Waiting until the rest of the family was out of the house, he carefully set up the camera in one of the corners of his bedroom, inside the wall. Cables ran through the wall, and into his closet, where the VCR was set up on the top shelf, behind some boxes. When he was all done, all you could see was the small hole where the camera's lens was, and you could only see that if you knew to look for it. With the motion sensor turned on, the camera would record whenever there was motion inside the room; that way Louis wouldn't have several hours of empty bedroom on his tape. He only had an 8-hour tape in the VCR, so hopefully she would bring her lover over soon after he left (assuming that he came over to their house. If she was going to a motel or something, he'd have to try something else to prove she was cheating on him). To improve his chances of catching her, Louis didn't have sex with her the last night before he went back on the road, pretending that he wasn't feeling well. He wanted his wife to be good and horny while he was gone. That way, there was a greater chance she'd have invite her lover over right away. The next morning, while she was making breakfast, he turned on the camera, and left the room.

The week on the road seem to drag on forever. Louis was eager to see what his wife was up to, but at the same time, he was very, very worried about what he would discover. What if she was cheating on him? What would he do? Thoughts of divorce crossed his mind, but he was worried about the effects it would have on the kids. At the same time, he didn't know how he could live with Carla if he knew that she'd be fucking another man. So it was with a very preoccupied mind that he returned home at the end of the week. Carla immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"You okay, dear?" she asked. "You've been awfully quiet tonight."

"I'm fine, honey, just tired from my trip is all."

Later that evening, while Carla was in the shower, Louis went into the closet and removed the tape from his hidden VCR. He wanted to watch the tape right away, but knew he would have to wait until everyone was out of the house. His chance came that Saturday. Both Mike and Brooke were spending the weekend at friends' houses, and Carla was out shopping for the day with a friend. The moment her car pulled out of the driveway, he got the tape out and popped it into the VCR in the living room. Then he sat down on the couch, remote control in hand. He was almost too terrified to press play. What was he going to do if the tape revealed what he thought it would?......(cont)
