Chapter 1: I'm Jake, owner and president of Jake's Private Investigation Services. I have another private investigator who works for me. Jim Adams is his name. He's the vice-president since we are the only two investigators in the firm. We do have our overworked office girl, Sally. She is definitely the best secretary and most efficient office person I have ever met. She is smart, intelligent, sexy, and also a computer wiz. She would put most computer experts to shame. She's also married and a mother of two teenage girls. Her marriage is a good one and believe me she doesn't stray. Before you get it in your head that either me or Jim made it with Sally, get it out of your head right now. It never happened. Too bad though; she's one fine lady. I wanted you to know how many people work in our office, and who they are. Now you know - there are three of us. Jim and I are both ex-military and very good at what we do. We were members of the same unit when we were overseas. I'm not going to bore you with our war days or of the commendations we received, but we were the best of the best. At least we think so and our medals show it. We became best friends and decided to start this private investigation and bounty hunter business together. There is no bounty hunting in this story but if I decide to tell you of other escapades in the future that might be some information you might want to remember. To put it mildly, we are a couple of bad asses. This story begins with an old friend - well, more of an old acquaintance who was over at the house the other day. As we were downing a few beers, we talked about our jobs. He was an executive at the credit union and always bragged about his position. I nodded my head like I was interested but I could really have cared less. He finally came out with what he really wanted. "Jake, I would like to hire your services." "My service is private investigations, you know that. What the hell do you need investigated?" "Jake, I think Jenny has been cheating on me. I need to know with who?" "No, Jenny wouldn't cheat on you. What kind of proof do you have? Damn, I've known Jenny my whole life. I don't think she's capable of carrying on an affair." "That's the problem - I don't have any proof. I just have this gut feeling inside that says she's cheating." "Did you ever think about talking to her, even asking her, rather than having her followed?" "No, I just want proof and then I'm going to divorce her." "Jesus, Roger, aren't you putting the cart before the horse? Don't you think you should find out what the hell is going on before you make all these decisions. Jenny's a great girl. I doubt if she's been cheating and you are ready to hang her out to dry." "Look, Jake, it's my business what I do, and how I do it. I'm offering you a job to investigate Jenny. If you prefer, I can go elsewhere to find someone. I know you're the best and besides since you have known Jenny so long, you will be able to get closer than any other investigator without her finding out anything." "Okay, Roger, I'll take the case but you need to level with me when I find things out. I may need information from you but I'll get that as we go. It will cost you three hundred a day, you will also have to pay any office and investigation costs that the firm incurs. You'll only need to pay for the days we are out on the case." That was more than I charged most people, but he could afford it. "Thanks, Jake, I really appreciate it. Money isn't a problem but I do expect results." "By tonight or tomorrow at the latest I need to know everywhere that Jenny is supposed to go in the next two weeks. I might just stop by and see Jenny as a friend tomorrow and that will start the ball rolling." Roger finished his beer and left. What an arrogant bastard. I sat there and thought about Jenny. She was one fine looking woman. It was going to be fun doing this investigation. A few minutes later my wife, Doris, pulled up and saw about a dozen beer bottles sitting on the end table. "Did you drink them all by yourself or did you have help?" "Roger came over to talk to me." "Roger wanted to talk to you? What about?" "Damn, girl, why the hell you acting so surprised?" "He hardly ever comes over. What did he want?" "Your ass!" "What? What did he want?" "Oh, don't get your panties in an uproar. I just made that up. Even though he has always wanted to stick it to you." "Cut it out, Jake. It's not funny. What did he want?" "Business. He wanted to do business with me." "What kind of business? You're a P.I." "Bravo, you get the brass ring. You guessed it, he wants me to investigate someone for him." "Who, Jake?" "Since when do I tell you who I investigate? Why the sudden interest?" "Jake, Roger is the first friend that has asked you to investigate someone. I just thought it was interesting. The last time you investigated someone you knew, you married her. Remember how we met, Jake?" "I'll never forget sweetheart." -------------- Maybe I ought to tell you a little more about my past and while I'm at it I'll tell you about Doris. Before I went into the service I married my high school sweetheart. I was gone nearly four years all together. When I got home I found out I had a son. After I punched in the numbers I knew it wasn't mine. I was home on a few leaves but none fit the time frame of my son's conception. She received military benefits while I was in the service. It wasn't till I got home that I did the numbers game. She owned up to it. She thought she knew who the father might be. What does that tell you? We were soon divorced. Then about a year later I married my second wife Beth. I guess you could call her my rebound marriage. We really didn't get along all that well and she got pissed when Jim and I started this business. Maybe she knew what was coming. I ran into a lot of great looking women. For the record, a pussy hound like me shouldn't get married but believe it or not, I love these women when I marry them. I must be more in lust than in love. The marriages grow old. I guess I don't like a woman to tell me how to dress, what to eat and not eat. As for cutting the grass and making house repairs, I figure they have people we can pay to do it. My wives never seem to agree with me. Here's how I met Doris. This old fart came in and wanted me to follow his wife around. She was his trophy wife. For those of you who don't know what a trophy wife is, I'll try to explain. Her job is to look good and Doris is very good at it. She would basically go to a meeting with her husband and be eye candy while he did business. This old guy thought she might have been getting more than looks, and he was right. It was my job to find it out, which I did. I didn't have to follow her long - in fact right after the meeting I attended as a buyer, I asked her up to my room for a night cap. She played a little hard to get but I was in her panties in no time. I do have to say she was the best fuck I had ever had. She told me how the old geezer just used her for his business deals and wished I would take her away from the life she was leading. When I told her I was sent to spy on her, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and told me the offer still stood. I went downstairs to her husband's room and gave him the information he needed to get his divorce and of course she would get very little due to a prenuptial agreement. I hated doing it to her; I really did, but business is business. It was about three weeks later she showed up at my office. Sally came into the office smiling and said, "Boss, remember that knockout that you turned in. She's in your waiting room. She wants to discuss a case with you." "Well, my dear, show her in. This might get interesting." "Doris, what can I do for you?" "Well, since you helped end my marriage, I would like you to investigate my husband before the divorce is final." "Okay, I'll bite, what gives? "My pre-nup is only binding if one party cheats. If both spouses are found to have cheated then the prenuptial agreement is no longer binding and the distribution of assets will be divided more - should I say - equitably. I think you owe me that much." "Do you have any information I can work with?" "As I told you he has a hard time getting it up but I know some women he's been with for oral sex. Believe it or not he gives good head. Before I left the house I had copied his appointment book. I'm sure he will be with someone in the near future. He came to my room a couple of nights ago and asked if he could eat me out. When I told him to go fuck himself, he slammed the door and walked out. He can't go very long without eating a good looking pussy." "Where are you staying now?" "I'm still at the house but in my own room. He can't do much till the divorce is final. I'm just not allowed to remove any property from the house." "You just told me, 'Before you left the house' you copied his book." "Yes, before I left the house to come and see you. Boy, you sure don't trust anybody." "That's why I'm the best baby. Do I get you as part of the deal?" "Get me my money first and I'll see how gracious I can get." She smiled as she left my office." She knew what she was talking about. I followed his appointments and sure enough he was at the local motel with a nice looking gal. I guess his tongue needed a workout. I waited a few minutes and used a duplicate key card and walked in the room and started snapping pictures. He knew he was caught the minute he saw me and offered me the girl if I would give him the pictures. It was tempting but bad business. She had one nice looking pussy and was spread wide open. Hell, she didn't even close her legs when she saw me. When I got back to the office, I had Sally call Doris and then she closed up and went home. Jim was out on another job so I had to stay around and get some of the paper work done. A little later I heard a knock on the door; it was Doris. I unlocked the door and let her in. Unfortunately, I forgot to re-lock the door behind her. I asked her into my office and showed her the pictures that would help her get equitable relief during her divorce. She asked me the cost and I told her the financial part. She wrote me a check, and that's when I explained what I gave up to get her the information. She stood up and looked in my eyes and without saying a word, she pulled her skirt up above her hips, reached up and removed her panties. I didn't need anyone to tell me what to do as I went around to the other side of my desk and pushed her gently forward on the desk. I unzipped my pants and took out my hard cock and did what I do best. I slowly pushed my cock into her hot pussy. "Holy shit, damn, you're so hot, you are the best, so good," I told her as her hot pussy engulfed my cock. "Just fuck me, baby, I can't get enough of you. If you weren't married, I'd marry you." Just as I shot my load into her pussy I heard a voice behind me. "He's all yours, honey. He fucked me over for the last time." It was Beth, standing in the doorway. Dammit, I forgot to lock the door. I found out later that Doris called my house after I had Sally call her. Beth told her I was still at the office so I have always wondered if Doris set me up. She has always claimed she didn't, but you never know. Beth and I got divorced. As I said earlier our marriage was more of a rebound for me, but Beth was a good wife. She needed a husband who had a nine to five job and was a homebody, it just wasn't my style. Beth is now married to an accountant. They're expecting their first child. I'm really happy for her; she deserved better than I gave her. We are still friends; we don't see each other all that often but I think we both realized we weren't meant to be together. If she ever needed a P.I., I would be there for her. Doris and I ended up getting hitched after her divorce was final. She got a pretty good settlement from the old fart. We dated for a few months and then just decided to get married. My third time around and her second. Our marriage is all about sex. I always want it and she is always willing to give it to me. I know you readers are wondering if a marriage like ours will survive. You will have to keep reading this story to find out. Doris is one great sex partner. ---------------- Back to where I left off: Doris asked me who was I to investigate. "Jenny. Roger wants me to investigate Jenny." "Jenny is one of your oldest friends. You grew up together. How can you investigate her?" "According to Roger, he thinks she might be playing around on him. I think it's total bullshit but if I don't do it then he said he was going to hire someone else." "You've known her. Do you think she is capable of cheating?" "Doris, every person alive is capable of cheating. It's all about the situations we put ourselves in. You know that. We've both cheated in the past but to be honest with you I would say you would be capable of cheating again before Jenny would." "You son of a bitch. Accusing me of cheating on you. I've been as good and loyal a wife to you as possible and am always here for you and you say shit like this to me. Who the fuck do you think you are, you bastard?" "Jesus, Doris, I didn't accuse you of anything. All I said was that you would be more likely to cheat than Jenny. If I ever found out you cheated on me, I would put your lover in the hospital. I'm not a fucking old geezer like your first old man." "You just hit a sore spot with me. I'm trying my best to be a good wife." "I'm sorry, Doris. You've done nothing to deserve that kind of talk from me. Do you want to go in the bedroom and we can make up?" We headed for the bedroom. I had her clothes off and was laying rope. I was on my back and she was riding my rope like a real cowgirl, "Yahoo." I stopped at the office the next morning and told Jim about this new case. I explained that I didn't trust Roger any further than I could throw him. I asked Jim if he could do some investigating of Roger on the side. Roger didn't know him and Jim was great at what he does. He would be nearly invisible when near Roger; he was that good. I asked Sally what I should get her that would help track down anything useful. "Too bad you can't get near their computers. I could track down just about anything they did. In this day and age people use their computers for everything." "I can get that information for you, Sally. What do you need? I don't think I'll have any problems there." "Here's a few CD's. If you can get their passwords and then copy everything off their hard drive, we'll be in business. I'll make this fifteen thousand dollars worth of computer equipment you bought pay off." "Sally, did I ever tell you I love you?" I smiled. "Get out of here and go earn some money so you can afford to pay me," she laughed. Jim and I headed out the door. I was going to see Jenny and he was going to follow Roger. Chapter 2 I drove over to Jenny's. My wife was right. Jenny was my best friend during childhood. We were neighbors and grew up together. It was funny that we never really dated. When I started my teen years, her family moved to the suburbs. We still kept in touch but not as often. She used to tell me about a lot of her personal life and I told her mine. As I mentioned, we were best buds, even though she was a girl. We never talked about love or sex between us. It was like the subject was out of bounds for us; it was like it was taboo or forbidden. Sure is strange when I come to think of it. We talked about other people but never about us. We talked less and less as time went on and eventually just stopped talking all together. By the time I was a junior in high school our relationship or lack of just stopped. That's when I met my first wife and we started dating. Jenny was by then that little girl I used to know. Sad how that happens. We just seem to go our separate ways. Life sure is fickle. After I married my first wife and went into the service, I got a letter from Jenny saying that she was going to marry Roger. For some reason, it really hurt me. Seems odd that it would bother me; after all, I was already married for three years even though I wasn't home. I didn't know at the time but I guess she was the only girl I loved and not for the sex because we hadn't done it. When she got married, it's as though a part of me died. I never did understand it till a few months ago. I knew Roger from high school. Most likely to succeed because his dad had the finances to buy Roger whatever he wanted. I guess he was smart but also kind of arrogant We knew each other but weren't really friends. I didn't even know he ever dated Jenny. I guess it wouldn't have made any difference anyway. Money follows money and Jenny's parents were fairly well off and of course Roger's parents were already connected. It wasn't a match made in heaven but probably made at a board meeting. The dads of both were business people. One of those, "Boy, if our kids were to marry, both of our businesses would prosper." Maybe I shouldn't say that but that's how I believe the relationship started out. Oh, well, that was all in the past. Time to try and figure out the future. Right now I had a job to do. I have to find out if Jenny is cheating on Roger. I laughed just thinking about it. I approached the gate. They lived in a gated house. I pushed the button and heard a voice; it was Jenny. "Who is it?" "It's your lover. May I come in?" "Jake, what are you doing here?" "Let me in and I'll tell you all about it." The gate opened and I drove up the winding drive to the front door. I'd only been there a few times. Jenny was at the door when I got out of the car. "What are you doing here, Jake? Roger would shit if he knew you were here." As we walked through the door, I closed it behind me. "Don't I at least get a kiss." She came into my arms and I kissed her. I pulled her warm body up against me and kissed her again. She pulled back, "Jake, what are you doing here?" "Roger sent me." "What? Roger sent you? Come on, Jake. What's this about?" "Well, I don't know how to tell you this," as I smiled. "Roger has hired me to find out if you are cheating on him," I laughed. "Oh, my God, it's not funny Jake. Do you think he knows we've been seeing each other?" "Honey, don't panic. I know there is something much deeper than you having an affair. I have Jim and Sally working on it. You aren't having an affair, are you?" "Just with you, my love, just with you. What are we going to do?" "How many computers do you have? Sally wants me to get all the information off of them." "We have two here: the one I use and the one in Roger's private office. He also has one at work." "I need to copy the hard drives off both of them. Do you have a problem with that?" "I have nothing to hide from you, Jake. I know that you know how much I love you. Come with me and I'll show you my computer." She gave me her password and I slipped in the disks and started copying the hard drive. "Jenny, is there anything personal on this computer you don't want me to know about?" "No, I want no secrets from you, Jake. There are some personal letters to different girl friends and my sister but they were deleted a long time ago. Other than that there were a few letters to you hidden in some back files." "You never sent me any letters. What are you talking about?" "It's fantasy letters to you. I wrote them throughout the years but never sent them to you. They're all deleted also." "Just so you know, Sally is the best and she may find a way to retrieve them. Do you want me to read them?" Jake The P.I. "I'll be embarrassed but it's up to you. If you show them to Roger, my marriage will be over. He wouldn't understand; hell, I don't understand why I could fall for a caveman like you." She came to me and kissed me again. I told her I needed the information off Roger's computer also. Something was really fishy about the way he acted. She took me to his office and to his computer. "Do you know his password?" She laughed as she went through his roladex and under P-password he had the word 'Studman' listed. Jenny was smiling at me. "Is he?" I asked. "Get real. He just has sex. He doesn't know how to make love like you, Jake." I slipped in the disks and started copying the hard drive like Sally told me too. I was interested in finding out what was on this computer. If there was anything to be had on this computer, Sally would find it. I guess I should explain how Jenny and I got reacquainted since her marriage to Roger and mine with three different women. We would run across each other at different events or parties. Whenever I saw her something happened inside of me. I couldn't put my finger on it. It only happened when I was near her. If I was a kid, I would have thought she gave me the cooties or something. I've been with a number of women but she was the only one that gave me the so-called cooties. I didn't have to kiss her or even touch her. I felt it if I was just near her. About three months ago I was on a stakeout when I decided to stop by Tim Horton's, a local coffee shop, to get a cup of wake up juice, a really strong cup of coffee. I went inside and there sat Jenny by herself. I walked up to her and I think I scared the shit out of her when I touched her shoulder. She lightly screamed and then saw me. A big smile came across her face as she stood up and hugged me. "What are you doing here, Jenny? It's only six o'clock in the morning and you're twenty miles from home." "I left Roger. I'm so glad you're here, I need someone to talk to and you're the best friend I have, or at least had." "Jenny, I'll always be your best friend and you mine. Just because we're not together doesn't mean I don't think about you. You're the only girl I know that gives me the cooties." It made Jenny smile, and when she smiles we both feel better. "Okay, tell me about the arrogant son-of-a-bitch and what he did." "He wanted me to go to a special party and I refused to go." "What kind of party, Jenny?" "A swap party, you know, where you exchange husbands and wives. I told him no decent wife would go to those parties. If he really loved me he wouldn't ask me to do such things. He walked out; I don't know if he went to the party alone or not. I just packed a suitcase and left. I don't know what to do now, Jake. Can you spend a little time with me? I feel safe around you." "Sure, what are best friends for? Let me call my partner for this stakeout and we can spend the day together." I called Jim and asked him if he could replace me at the stakeout and I would contact him later. He said there was no problem; he had just finished his previous assignment. Jenny and I spent most of the day together. We went to a small carnival and I won her a stuffed green snake. She named it Roger which made us both smile. It started to rain and we were getting soaked. I took her back to her motel room so she could change clothes. I removed my pants and shirt and we called housekeeping to get them dried out. We both had on a complimentary robe. They asked us to give them two hours and they would return our clothes. I didn't have a choice but to wait in my robe. Jenny had other clothes but decided to just wear the robe too. We didn't intend for it to happen but it did. It was like in the movies, both of us just looking at each others eyes and slowly our lips came together. It was like an electric shock brought us together. Once we started, we couldn't stop. We made love for the next four hours. When room service knocked on our door we told them to just leave the clothes and we would get them later. I don't know how to explain it. It was total love. It was like the sex was secondary. I just wanted to make love to her forever. We stopped to rest and I went to retrieve our clothes when her phone rang. She held her finger to her lips so I knew to be quiet. She talked for about ten minutes. She told me afterwards it was her father. He said that Roger was scared to death that something had happened to her. Roger told her dad that they had a love spat and that she walked out. Her dad convinced her to return home, at least for now. We looked in each other's eyes and knew we would be together again. We both knew it was wrong but it didn't seem to matter. I told her I would call her in a couple of days to make sure she was alright. We kissed and she left for home and I went back to Doris. I knew what I did was wrong but why didn't I feel remorse. I know I should have but I didn't. We've been together three times since she went back home. She told me that Roger was up to something but wasn't sure what it was. I explained to Jenny that we were investigating her and Roger. I asked if there was there anything she needed to tell me before it bit us in the ass. "Yes, there is, Jake. There something you're going to find out when you go through the computer records." "Oh, God, Jenny. What is it? What are we going to find?" "You are going to find out..." "Come on, Jenny. What are we going to find?" "You are going to find that I have always been totally in love with you. I only got married to Roger to spite you. I tried to hate you but I couldn't. I felt you abandoned me when you got married. You'll also find that I was a faithful wife to Roger, even though I knew he was unfaithful to me. Until that day I spent with you. I was a faithful wife to him. Jake, I don't feel bad about being with you. I know it's wrong but for some reason I can't control it. Does that make me a bad person?" She had tears in her eyes. I didn't know how to respond. I had no right to love her, but I knew I did. I realized the cooties she gave me was the love I felt for her. "Jenny, you're not a bad person. In fact you are the sweetest, nicest and most loveable woman I have ever met." "I'll do what I can to find out what Roger is up to. I need to give him some kind of information. I'll tell him about you leaving him and where you stayed. I'll see what else I can cook up. I'll delete anything with my name on it or maybe just remove the name and let him wonder." Back at the office I had Sally call Roger about their cell phone numbers so we could get the records. We were doing a dual investigation here; more than anything, I was hoping that Jenny was being honest with me. I knew Roger was lying through his teeth. He really didn't know how good our little firm was. He made his biggest mistake by hiring us. I didn't tell Sally or Jim about me and Jenny. I wanted to see if they would tell me. Every now and then we needed a little reality check. Sally was busy going through the phone records. Their home phone wasn't showing anything out of the ordinary. There were a few numbers we wanted to check on but most seemed above board. Sally called me in to look at the home phone bill. My home number came up twice in the last two months. I had Sally check my phone record and there were return calls to Jenny's house. Had Jenny talked to Doris? Hmm, this needed to be checked out even though it was only two calls. I jotted down the time and dates for future reference. Jenny's cell phone seemed to be used very little. I jotted down the time and dates of the calls when she left Roger. She had left him for two days. He must have called her at least thirty five times trying to reach her. Apparently she never talked to him. She did get a call from her dad just like she said she did. I knew it since I was there at the time. Another number kept popping up on her cell. I had Sally check it out and it was her sister. She must have kept in touch with her. Rachel was her older sister, probably six years older than Jenny. I never really knew her that well since she was older than us. According to the cell phone record she talked to her sister all the time. She lived in another state but they must have kept in contact with each other. I would have to ask Jenny more about her sister. We pulled up Roger's cell phone number and it was loaded with numbers. It would take awhile to figure out who a lot of these numbers belonged to. Sally called me back to her desk. "What is it, Sally?" "I ran the cell phones through the system and, according to the phone company, Roger has another cell phone. Maybe it's for business, maybe not. When we asked him for the phone numbers, he didn't give us this one." "Forget the one he gave us, no use wasting our time on it. Let's start checking the numbers on his second phone." We went as far as six months back on the home and cell phone bills. Chapter 3 We were putting in a lot of hours checking all these phone records. Sally was zapping files left and right on the two computers. We were hoping that we wouldn't have to tap into his office computer. Too many flags are raised when going into business computers. Lots of spyware and anti-virus bugs. We would probably get detected and, since we were supposed to only be investigating Jenny, it sure would look suspicious. A couple of days later Roger called us and asked us how our investigation was coming along. I told him that we found that Jenny had left for two days and where she stayed. Of course he already knew this but he didn't tell us so he acted surprised about the information. He probably was surprised that we found out about her leaving. We did tell him we didn't have much info on everything she did yet but we were working on it. I had to hold back a laugh when I told him she met a man for coffee at the local Tim Horton's but the people working there couldn't give a description. I also mentioned that she brought a man back to her motel room. We were trying to find out who she was with but the people at the motel never saw his face. They did say something about drying his clothes. Then I told him we were now going through the hard drive on her computer and were coming up with new information but it would take a few days to dissect it all. He sounded surprised that we were able to get this information. I knew that he never really suspected Jenny of cheating but now wasn't sure. He was surprised that we had dates to check out. I told him we had copies of love letters she wrote to someone and that we would make copies and fax them to his office in the next few days. I knew this chain of events took him by total surprise. Now he believed she was cheating and was going to use it to get a divorce. He then told me that he thought she was going away Saturday night and that I might want to keep an eye on her to see if she met anyone. I told him thanks for the info and that I would let Doris know that I would be away that evening so she wouldn't worry. Whenever I had an all night watch, I tried to let Doris know. The last time I spoke to Jenny I told her to buy a tracphone. These are phones that you can buy and just put minutes on it as you use them up. There is no way to trace the owner of the phone other than a number if someone calls it. I asked her to purchase one of these to keep in touch with me. Sally told me that some of these suspicious calls on Roger's phone were to one of these phones. I figured it was to keep in contact with someone he didn't want anyone to know about. As Sally and Jim were working on the computer information I was still jotting down and checking Roger's extra phone records. Then from the other room I heard Sally say: "Oh, shit! Oh, no! Oh, Christ!" Then in a low voice, I heard Jim say, "We have to tell him. The shit's going to hit the roof." I stopped what I was doing and just listened for a few minutes. "He is really going to get pissed. Who's going to tell him?" asked Sally. "You tell him," replied Jim. "If he gets really mad, he won't hit you." Then I heard, "What the fuck! Sally, look at this." "You've got to be kidding me. We have a hell of a mess on our hands. I think it's about time to go talk to the boss." "What the hell are you two talking about? Did you find something?" "Yes, Jake, we did. I don't think you are going to like it," responded Sally. "Okay, clue me in," I said. "Well, Roger is having an affair...." I interrupted Sally, "And it's with Doris, right!" "How did you know?" asked Sally. "I've been trying to put two and two together. Roger coming to me to follow Jenny. I figured he is seeing Doris those times. You said Roger has been calling a tracphone a number of times. Doris bought one a few months ago. I'm willing to bet the numbers match. I've never called it; she leaves it in her car. She told me she bought it for emergency purposes and if it gets stolen she's only out the minutes left on the phone. She's lost two cell phones already and it gets pretty expensive, so I thought the tracphone was a good idea." "We found out something else too, boss." "Okay, Sally, out with it." "Jenny's in love with you and has been for a very long time. Something tells me that this is not new news to you, boss." "Okay, guys, it's time for me to tell you a number of things. First, thank you for being honest with me. You are my two best friends and I would trust you with my life. I needed to know you wouldn't sugarcoat this for me, trying to help me. Jim, I met up with Jenny that day that you did that surveillance job for me. She said her husband wanted her to go to swap parties and she refused and walked out on him. I have to let you guys know that I really care for her and needed to make sure she isn't involved in this mess. That why I didn't tell you guys. I needed to know that you would be totally honest with me here. I'm sorry for testing you two; you deserve better from me." "We understand, Jake; sometimes you just have to make sure. No hard feelings here and, yes, we will always tell you the truth. In fact didn't I tell you not to marry Beth and you did anyway." replied Jim. "Yeah, boss, and I told you that Doris would be a good lay but don't get involved, but you married her anyway," said Sally. "Okay, guys, I get the picture. I promise to try and listen more in the future." I went on to tell them everything else I knew. We were getting near crunch time and I had to be open with them now. "Sally, we need to find out the financial side of all this. Go through Roger's computer files and find out everything you can about net worth and stock, bonds and whatever else you can find. Do the same with Jenny's accounts also. There is more to this situation than sex. I need to know what it is." "Jim, I need you to see about the connection between Doris and Roger, when it started, and how long has it been going on. Doris wouldn't go with Roger just for a fuck. There has to be money involved. See what you can find out." "Sally, here's a special phone number to reach Jenny. Call her and tell her I need to see her as soon as possible. Roger can not know that she's coming here. Please call her before doing anything else." "Okay, you're the boss. I'll call her right now." Sally called the special number and Jenny answered it. "Hi, lover. I just wanted you to know I love you." "Oh, that's good to hear but this isn't Jake. It's Sally" "Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I'm so embarrassed. I thought only Jake had this number. I'm so sorry, Sally." "Give it up, honey. I love him too, just not the same way you do. He needs you to come to the office as soon as possible. He said it's very important and to make sure Roger doesn't know you're coming here. By the way, for what it's worth, I believe he really loves you too but don't you dare tell him I told you." "Thank you, Sally. That's great news to hear and I promise not to tell him where I heard it. Tell him I'll try to be there within the next two hours, and again, I'm sorry for the way I answered the phone." "Don't be, girlfriend. Jake would have loved it. He's like an old caveman, you know." Everything was moving fast now. Sally was finding out a lot about the financial situation. It wasn't a big surprise to me. As a P.I. I have a lot of pre-conceived ideas and I try to see if they are right. Most of the time my thoughts are correct, sometimes they're not. This time I hit the nail on the head. Roger's financial situation sucked. He had made a lot of bad investments and was nearly broke. I, of course, needed to verify a few facts with Jenny without giving too much away. Jim came back with the bad news on Doris. I had a feeling about this but I had to be sure. Jim was still a single guy and played the field. If there was wife swapping or group sex going on he would probably know about it, at least with the upper level groups. I guess he had some weird connections. "Jake, I have some really bad news. Roger attended the last two swap fests with the higher echelon banking group. They meet about every three months. He attended alone on the first swap. It didn't go over well and he was told if he was to take part, he needed to bring a woman to the swap meet. The last one was a couple of months ago when Jenny walked out on him. He did take a woman with him; it was Doris. I'm sorry, Jake, but you wanted the truth." "Thanks, Jim. I figured as much but I was hoping maybe I was wrong. The only thing I haven't figured out is why Doris would go with Roger. I know she likes the sex but she could have sex anywhere. There has to be a money connection here somewhere. Why don't you work on it and get back to me?" "Okay, boss, but one other thing. There is another swap fest this Saturday and you mentioned that you were going out of town. Thought you might like to know." "Any chance on you attending that swap meet and wear that camera watch we bought and put it to some good use?" "Sounds good to me, Jake, and as a promise to you I won't stick it to Doris, out of respect to you. In fact I'll have to change my appearance just in case she remembers me. I have to go locate me a banker gal so I can attend. I know just the woman. No, Jake, you don't know her and I'm not introducing you to her. You have your hands full with Jenny," he laughed. Even though I knew it, I felt bad. I guess Doris and I had a pretty good run. She was still one of the best fucks I've ever had. I guess that was the problem - she was just a really good fuck. I knew she wanted money; she lived for what money could buy. Everything I made I re-invested into the business and she was used to riding in the fast lane with the wealthier groups. After all, I took her from a rich old geezer. She must have thought that Roger was loaded and she could get her hands on his money. Looks like things were coming to a head. Jenny showed up at the office. Sally liked her right off the bat; I could tell by the way she introduced her to me. "Boss, your lady friend is here and she's a baby doll," Sally smiled at me. "Send her in, Sally, and please close the door. I have some personal stuff to discuss with her and don't want to embarrass her." "Yes, boss," as she led Jenny into the room. I need to tell you the difference in appearance between Doris and Jenny. They were both beautiful women but as different as night and day. Doris was probably most every man's wet dream. Large breasts, flowing blond hair, she stood about 5' 8", maybe 140 pounds. I'm not good on women's weight. She looked and walked like a model. She usually wore V-neck sweaters to enhance her boobs and mini skirts short enough to make you stare at her long legs. Jenny on the other hand looked like a petite country girl. Maybe 5' 1" in height, 110 pounds, very beautiful. She had small breasts that stuck out, and she could probably get away without wearing a bra but her nipples would poke through her blouse. She had a perfect little tight ass that even looked great in jeans. She was a brunette with shoulder length hair. Damn, just explaining her to you gave me a hard on. Jake The P.I. Jenny came into my office and sat in a chair. I sat on the edge of the desk just to be near her. "Jenny, we have found out all kinds of things and I'm afraid everything is going to come to a head by next week. I need you to be perfectly honest with me in everything you say. It's imperative you tell me the truth." "I haven't lied to you, Jake. I haven't lied to you about anything." "I know but I have more questions I need answered. Did you know that Roger was making it with Doris?" She was biting her bottom lip before answering. "I suspected it but didn't know it. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to accuse Doris of anything without knowing anything except what Roger told me." "Go on, tell me the rest." "Roger would brag what a good looking woman Doris was and what a good ... um, sex partner she was. He wanted to know why I couldn't be like that. He did tell me if I didn't go to the swap fest with him, he would take Doris. He would always talk about other women like that. I figured if it was true you would find out while investigating him. I'm so sorry, Jake. I didn't want to be the one to tell you unless I knew for sure, which I didn't." "What about your financial arrangements? What can you tell me about that?" "I don't know too much about it. Roger takes care of most of it. He's in banking, you know." "Tell me everything you know. It's really important. I'm not interested in your money but I do need to know your financial situation." "I know you don't want my money. You want my ass and you can have it if you want," she smiled. "I want more than your ass. I want your heart too." "You've always had it, Jake. You just never knew it," she had a tear in her eye. About our finances, when we got married, Roger's dad gave him a million dollars. Of course we bought the estate and Roger is in investments and invested the rest." "Did your dad give you anything?" "Yes. Just so you know, Jake, I really love my dad. I know people think all investment people are takers but dad's not like that. He earned his money the honest way. He gave my sister Rachel and I each five hundred thousand dollars when we got married." "Did Roger invest your money too?" "No, believe it or not dad really didn't trust Roger and dad invested my money for me. Roger was pissed but I told him I wanted to do business with my dad and of course Roger never said any more about it." "What is your investment worth today." "I have no idea. I really don't. Would you like me to call my father and ask him?" "Please, if you don't mind. You have to trust me here." "Jake, there's no one I trust more than you. I'll call dad now. What phone should I use?" I had to laugh, she was so sweet, "Use your cell phone." "Hello, dad. I need a favor from you. It's something that can't wait. Can you tell me what my investment is worth? No, dad, I don't want to take it out. I just want to know how much it is.... What? You're kidding me, right? Dad, I really need to know the truth ... It is the truth? It's worth four million dollars. Oh, my God, dad, it's so hard to believe. Hold on a second, dad." "Ask your dad to take all the money out of your name as soon as possible. It's imperative that he do this now. Get the investments out of your name and tell him to not leave any trail behind. He has to do it now." "Did you hear him, dad. I don't know but please do what he says. It's no trick, dad. I think Roger might want a divorce and he would try to get the money or something. Yeah, dad, just do it. I'll call you later and try to explain. I love you, dad, and thank you. Bye." "Thank you, sweetheart. I feel a whole lot better about that now. By the way, where are you going Saturday?" "Roger asked me - or almost told me - to go see my sister this weekend. How did you know?" "He told me to watch you this weekend. He thinks you're going to go see the man you're having an affair with. So, it was his suggestion for you to see your sister?" "Yeah, I called her and she won't be home this weekend. I haven't told Roger yet. Do you want me to tell him I'm not going?" "You're going alright. You and I will take a short trip somewhere. After all I have to keep my eye on you this Saturday. The best way to do that is to have you in my bed." "Roger's going to one of the swap fests, isn't he, and probably taking Doris." "Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what's happening. Do you want to be with me Saturday?" "Jake, I want to be with you the rest of my life. Married or just living together, I don't care; I just want to be with you." What more could a guy ask for? A life long friend wanting to be with you. Is there such a thing as the forth time's a charm? We made plans to be together that next Saturday. It's kind of funny when you think about it. We were having an unplanned wife swap. I knew one thing for sure. I would never, ever share my Jenny with anyone, including Roger. I told Jenny that I had let Roger know that I had found out that she was with another man the day we spent together. I explained my plan to her and asked her to have a talk with her dad. If he would agree to back her up everything should turn out all right. I kissed her goodbye and told her I would see her on Saturday. On Friday, Sally, Jim and I got together to see what else we came up with. Jim went first, "Doris is playing Roger. She is interested in his money and is willing to get divorced so they can get married. According to the grapevine, Roger wants to divorce Jenny and marry Doris. He's seeing her through sex blinders. She is willing to be his sex and swap partner, as long as they get married and no prenuptial agreement. I hate to say this, Jake, but they're two sorry individuals and deserve each other." "You're right, Jim, I can't agree with you more. What about Jenny? Is she involved in any way, shape or form?" "Nope, the banking group has no idea who she even is. It's kind of funny too because her dad's a big shot in the investment industry but rumor has it that he's an honest guy and has never been involved with the lower element of the industry." "That's good to hear. We are going to need him on our side. I feel a little better about him now. Okay, Sally, what's the latest on the financial side?" "Jake, you're not going to believe this but I think this will answer most of the questions you are asking. Roger's damn near broke. He pretty much blew his million inheritance and made some horribly bad investments. I went through all his financial records that were hidden in his computer. To the best of my knowledge he borrowed a half million dollars on a second mortgage. So the only money available to him is what ever monies Jenny has saved. I wasn't able to find out how much that is since he tried to tap that account but was unable to." "I could kiss you, Sally, but you would probably slap me. That's the connection! Roger's broke and wants Doris. He can't have her unless he has money. The only money available to him is Jenny's net worth in her portfolio which her dad oversees. So, Roger knows the money is there but doesn't know how much. Until yesterday, Jenny didn't even know. Guys, she's worth four million dollars." "Holy shit! So since there's no pre-nuptial, then if they get divorced and the money is divided equally then Roger stands to get his hands on two million dollars and Doris," replied Jim. "You got it, good buddy. So our job is now to do a hell of a lot of acting. You are going to the swap meet on Saturday, correct?" "Yes, sir, got a date and everything. Besides getting some pictures I'm going to get myself laid a few times. This is a hell of a good job. Oh, sorry, Sally." "Don't apologize to me. I have all I can handle at home and can have it there any time I want," she laughed. "Okay, guys, we need to call Roger and leak some of this news to him. Sally, remember those love letters to me on Jenny's hard drive? I want you to make copies of them but change the name say, to Brian. Then I want them deleted from the copies of Jenny's hard drive. I want you to make copies of those letters on the drives we took from Rogers computer. We want it to look like Roger wrote the letters to incriminate Jenny. Then fax those letters to Roger today." "Oh, you're rotten, boss but I love you anyway. You might want to nuke Jenny's hard drive in case anyone goes back to check it." "Nuke it? What the hell is that?" "Take this disk and put it in her computer when you see her tomorrow. It will wipe out all those pre-existing files. Take this disk and put it in Roger's computer. It will put those letters you wanted into his files." "Damn, girl, you're worth every penny I pay you." "No, I'm worth double the money you're paying me and when this gig is over I want to hire myself a helper." "You got it, sweet cheeks. Hire all the help you need," I replied. "Jake? When do you expect the shit to hit the fan?" "I figure Monday. I don't want Jenny to be with Roger after this weekend and I'm sure as hell kicking Doris' ass out on Monday also. It might take a week to get the sides together for a meeting. By the way, Jim, you'll have to handle the meeting. I know the judge is going to want our report and I don't think I'll be present since both Jenny and Roger will be there. Do you think you can handle it?" "You've saved my ass a number of times and I will be forever in debt to you. This time I get to do you a favor and save your girlfriend's ass. It will be my pleasure." "Jim, we were both military heroes and now best of friends. You don't owe me. You're as good a friend as a person could ask for and I will always watch your back." "Okay, guys, enough scratching each others nuts. We still have work to do," laughed Sally. Chapter 4 It was Saturday and this was the beginning of the end for two marriages. I knew when I returned home on Monday that my marriage would be over. I headed to Jenny's place since her husband was paying me to keep my eyes on her. I parked on the hill overlooking the gated entrance waiting for Roger to leave. I made sure that when he left home that he would be able to see my vehicle; after all, he should see his money working for him. I thought I'd call Doris one last time. The phone rang and she picked up. "Smith residence," she said. "Hi, Doris, it's just me. I found out I'll be gone for two nights and won't be back till Monday. Thought I would call you and let you know." "Are you following Jenny to her sister's house?" "Who told you that I was following Jenny to her sister's?" "Oh, um, Roger called. I guess he wanted to talk to you and mentioned it." The only person who mentioned Jenny's sister was Jenny. Roger told me she was meeting someone. He's the one who suggested she go see her sister. That was a major slip up by Doris. "I'm following her because she might be having an affair. I don't know anything about her seeing her sister." "Jake, when you get back we need to talk." "Talk? About what? Do you want to tell me something, Doris?" Her voice was soft and nervous. "It can wait till you get back on Monday. I'll talk to you then." "Sure, Doris, I'll see you Monday." "Jake, um ... I ... um ... okay, I'll talk to you Monday." She always ended our phone conversations with, 'I love you' but I guess she just couldn't get it out this time. Roger pulled out of his drive and I saw him pull up the hill behind me; he thought he was out of sight. He had a pair of binoculars checking out my vehicle. What a dork. While he was watching me I called Jenny on her tracphone. "Hello," she said when she answered. "Geez, Sally gets called sweetheart and I just get a hello." "Hi, honey. Where are you? Roger just left for his so-called overnight meeting." "I'm staring at your house while Roger is up the hill staring at me. Are you packed and ready to go? Put your suitcase in your car and then leave the property. I'll follow you. After Roger leaves, we need to come back and do a little computer work before we head out. Why not head to the twenty-four hour shopping center and we can leave your car there and just use mine." "Okay, honey. See you in a few." "You sound a little down. Having second thoughts?" "No, I never thought I'd be a divorce statistic. I wasn't overly in love with Roger but I tried to make it work. I'll be over it when I see you. Bye for now." She hung up the phone and I saw her car pulling out of her drive. Roger must have seen enough as he jumped back in his Porsche and took off. We met in the shopping center garage and she parked it in a very discreet area. She slipped her suitcase onto my backseat and got in the front with me, leaned over and kissed me. A very gentle and loving but yet powerful kiss. "Jake, I love you with all my heart and soul. Please never hurt me like Roger has." I didn't reply. I know she had to be thinking about me ending my third marriage. I thought it best to be quiet right then. I knew she was making a statement, not wanting a conversation, so we headed back to the house to finish our computer business. Monday morning came and we had spent two wonderful days together. I took Jenny back to her car. She had talked to her father and told him she was leaving Roger and was wondering if it was alright to come home. His wife was glad to have one of her daughters back in the house. They were always surrounded by servants and were glad to have family there. I decided to stop by the office before going home and facing Doris. Jim and Sally were both there already. Hell, it was ten o'clock, they had better be there. I didn't recognize Jim when I saw him. He had shaved off his beard and moustache and also shaved his head bald. He looked like a different person. "What the hell did you do?" I asked. "Hey, good buddy, I didn't want to be recognized at the swap meet so I shaved it all off. I scared the shit out of Sally this morning when I came in. I grabbed her from behind and she did that stupid elbow trick you showed her. Man, I'm still hurting." "Serves you right, you pervert," laughed Sally. "It there some bad news to report Jim." "Afraid so, buddy. Do you want to see the evidence?" "No, I know what Doris' ass looks like. I don't need to see some pervert with his dick in it. Besides, it's Roger's dick we're interested in. Only show the pictures of Doris if his dick's in her. Do you know what I mean?" "At this meeting, when they have it, you don't want me showing pictures of Doris unless she's doing Roger. I got it. I have pictures of Roger doing about three other women, so I'll just show those." "Thanks, Jim, I appreciate it. Did Doris or Roger know who you were? "They were so shit faced I doubt if they knew who they even fucked. Sorry about that but it's the truth. I've got pictures of everyone at that party, maybe fifteen couples. What do you want me to do with them?" "Just file them. If you have names, put them on the back. If we ever get any as clients, we will have a head start." "Will do Jake, and again, sorry about Doris. For something brighter, how was your date with Jenny?" "It was great. Maybe I'll tell you about everything except the love making sometime." "Did you say lovemaking? You usually say, fucking or having sex. What gives?" "Drop it, pervert," said Sally. "Leave the boss alone. He said he would tell you later. Go put on a hat or something. The glare off your head is bothering me," laughed Sally. "Just so you guys know, Jenny moved back with her parents for now. Roger or someone will probably be contacting us about divorce proceedings soon. Are we all set with the computer files, Sally?" "If you made the changes in their home computers, we're set to go. To be honest with you, boss, I only met Jenny the one time and she seems nice; I'm glad we're setting up that bastard husband of hers." "Okay, guys, that's about it. Time to go home and get divorced. By the way, Sally, is this business protected against a divorce?" "Jake, on paper we are running in the red. I don't think Doris will go after it. You might want to take this paper with you explaining our negative worth in case the issue comes up." "Thanks, Sally. Catch you guys later." I left for home to watch my third marriage go down the toilet. Three years, almost a record. My first one did last four years but that was only because I was in the service. The second lasted two years. Should I really try again? Something to think about. I arrived at home and Doris was on the porch of our condo. It was just a small two bedroom place. Doris always wanted a mansion but I didn't have any money. I pretty much lived job to job. I didn't even have to go in the house. Doris already had some of her bags packed and sitting on the porch. "Jake, I'm leaving you and want a dissolution of our marriage." I just looked at her instead of saying anything. I knew she was nervous. She also seemed sad. Finally I spoke. "Okay, you want out, then I'll ask for a divorce. If this ever comes back to me, I want it known that it was you that had the affair. My only question is why Roger? He's a scumbag. Is he that great a lover?" I was mildly calm. I didn't hate Doris. I wasn't about to yell and scream at her. "You know this isn't about love. It's about money. Jake, the money I received after the old geezer settled with me after my first divorce is getting low. I'm down to about sixty thousand dollars. You know me better than anyone. I like nice things and I want a big house and fast cars. All the things you can't provide. I know that sounds materialistic but that's who I am." "What about the sex, Doris?" "The sex with you is great, Jake. I can't deny that. I have never had sex with a man that is better than you. Hell, you're twice as good as Roger will ever be, but I'm in my thirties, Jake. I know I have the looks to attract men but my looks won't last forever. Roger is rich and can afford to keep me in the kind of comfort I want. I can have sex with anyone, Jake. I need to look at my financial future. With you there probably isn't one. I know you understand." "Yeah, money isn't my forte, I probably never will have much. I guess I should have known we wouldn't last that long together." "We made good sex together though, didn't we, Jake? No man could make me cum the way you can. I do have to say I will miss doing it with you. Please don't hate me, Jake. I don't hate you. In fact I do have strong feelings for you. It's just time for me to move on, to have a rich man keep me." "You do realize you're whoring yourself out, don't you, Doris? Sex for the person with the most money." "You're right but we all sell ourselves out for something. At least my price is high enough to keep me in comfort. Jake, even though I'll be with Roger, I'll come see you if you ask me too." "No, the problem is you were my wife and you fucked Roger and probably others. I now have to live with that. I will hold that against you. No, I don't hate you but I hate that you did it while being my wife." "How long did you know about Roger, Jake?" "Not long enough to put a stop to it. What do you expect to take with you?" "All my personal things and what's left of my settlement if it's alright with you. I'm not expecting anything from the business and the apartment is rented. You'll need the furniture. I'll be moving in with Roger tonight. You do know that Jenny moved out don't you?" "Yes, I followed her, remember? She didn't seem to be having an affair this weekend. She just visited her sister like you said. I guess Roger just wanted me out of the picture so he could have his way with you." Doris was almost crying. "You know, I hate myself right now, don't you, Jake? I hate what I did to you and if Jenny didn't cheat on Roger I hate what I did to her. I can't help it that I'm this way. I just want nice things. Please forgive me, Jake." Jake The P.I. "I won't forgive what you did, Doris, but I don't hate you either. I hope you actually get what you want in life. You've given up a lot more than you will ever know. By the way, Sally gave me the breakdown of our business. It is in the red. Good thing you don't want an equal division of assets." "Jake, do you want to do it one more time for the road?" "Afraid not, Doris. Give it to Roger. Make sure you tell Roger that I'm not through with him yet. The next time he sees me he's going to wish he didn't. I'm going back to the office and start the divorce procedure. I'll expect you to be gone when I return tonight. Make sure you give Roger that message. He made a big mistake messing with anything that belongs to me. See ya around, Doris." "See ya, Jake." She was crying as I left. It might be hard for people to understand my feelings. I can't hate her. If anything, I felt sorry for her. My only getting even with her was not to tell her that Roger was broke. That's enough revenge on her. Now for Roger it was a different story. Jake The P.I. The Conclusion: It's been a couple of weeks since the shit hit the fan. We, our agency, got a call from Roger's lawyers to attend a meeting the following Monday. Of course I was sending Jim and Sally to the meeting. It was for a divorce decree before a judge. Roger was accusing Jenny of adultery and of course Jenny was counter-suing on the same charges. I've talked to Jenny a couple of times on her tracphone since the split. I told her we couldn't see each other till all this divorce stuff was over with. I didn't want to ruin her case and besides the few weeks apart would give us time to think. Doris had moved in with Roger. She didn't know his financial situation yet but she would find out soon enough. Jenny was back home with her folks for now. I was just hoping they were going to back her up in court. Note: All the facts in this case were repeated back to me by Sally, Jim or Jenny. So this is a short version of the court case. If I miss passing along some of the evidence I was told, I'm sorry. This is just to give you an idea of what happened at the hearing. The judge called the meeting and said that he had the right to settle all cases that came before him. His decrees were final. Any appeals would have to be made within a week of the verdicts he decided. They would have to have conclusive evidence for him to overturn a decision. He told both parties that very rarely happened - in fact in his court it never happened - so they should both be prepared that day. On one side of the table sat Roger Bennet and his lawyer. Also Roger's father, Ed Bennet, was present. I might mention here that Roger's mother passed away two years ago. On the other side of the table sat Jenny and her lawyer as well as Jenny's father, Bob Moore. Of course at the head of the table sat the judge and a transcriber. If there were any witnesses, such as Jim and Sally, they would sit at the far end of the table. There was a bailiff at the door. Judge Balo explained that just because they were in such a relaxed setting they should not mistake it as not being a courtroom. All courtroom procedures would be adopted. The judge began by asking Mr. Cruz, Roger's lawyer, to state his case. "Judge, my client wants a divorce from his wife, Jenny, of ten years. He has positive proof that she has been cheating on him on more than one occasion. We have documented evidence that she has been carrying on a long time affair with someone named Brian also. My client hired a Private Investigation firm whose employees are waiting in the outer room to testify to the facts." "Let's bring them in now so we won't have to listen to the testimony twice." Sally and Jim sat at the far end of the table. Mr. Cruz asked Jim, "Was your firm hired by Roger Bennet to run an investigation on his wife, one Jenny Bennet?" "Yes, we were." "What evidence did you find that she was cheating on her husband?" "None, sir. None whatsoever." Roger screamed out, "That's a lie. I have documents." The judge said he wouldn't have outbreaks like that in his courtroom. Mr. Cruz apologized to the judge and told Roger to be quiet, and he would handle Jim. "Didn't you send some letters to Roger stating that his wife was cheating on him. Didn't you get the information off her computer. Don't lie in the court, sir. We have the evidence right here." "I'm not lying. We did send those letters to Roger as he requested. We did get them off a computer drive, but it didn't come off of Mrs. Bennet's computer. It came off of Mr. Bennet's computer." Roger jumped up and said that it was a lie and they didn't have permission to go into his computer. Again the judge reprimanded Roger and told him if he did it one more time he would be held in contempt of court. Again Mr. Cruz apologized to the judge. "Who gave you permission to search Roger's computer?" "Roger did. Here's our consent form that states that it is okay to search any part of the premises to obtain information including phone records and computers. That's what we did. We made copies of the hard drives on both computers and then went through them for evidence. All was done with both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's permission. Here are the signed consent forms." The judge looked over at Jenny and asked her if she ever used her husband's computer. "No, sir. Other than sending a few letters to my sister and a couple of girlfriends, all I do is play a few games on my computer. I've never been on Roger's." The Judge looked at Jim and asked, "These letters were copied off of Mr. Bennet's computer, not off of Mrs. Bennet's computer. Is that what you are saying?" "Yes, sir. Roger wanted some evidence quick so when we came across the letters we sent them to him. We later found that they came off of his computer." "Let's go on," said Mr. Cruz. "Did you find evidence that Mrs. Bennet had met a man at a restaurant and then took this same man to her motel room." Jim replied, "Yes, sir, that's true. She had left her husband for two days a few months back because of a spat and what you said followed." Mr, Moore held up his hand. "Judge, if I may speak I might be able to clear up that misunderstanding." "By all means, Mr. Moore. What do you know about this situation?" "Jenny, my daughter, left Roger over a spat that they had. He called me and said she wasn't answering her phone, so I called her. You can check the phone records to verify the calls. She picked up for me after seeing the caller ID and she told me she would meet me for coffee. I met her at a Tim Horton's and we talked. There was a carnival going on so later we went to it. It was just like we used to do when she was a little girl." Bob had tears and his eyes and so did Jenny. He continued, "We walked and talked. In fact I even won her a stuffed snake, and she named it Roger." Mr. Moore smiled. Jenny had brought the snake and held it up for the judge to see. "Then it began to rain. We were a long way from the car and we both got soaking wet. We went back to her motel room where she changed her clothes and I took off mine and put on a complimentary bath robe. Jenny called housekeeping and they took both our clothes and had them cleaned and dried. When they returned with our clothes I got dressed and we both left for our homes. I convinced Jenny to return home to Roger which now I see was a big mistake." The judge said, "Thank you, Mr. Moore. I'm sure that cleared up that misunderstanding. Mr. Bennet, do you have any other evidence that Mrs. Bennet had cheated on you?" Roger was totally pissed and told his lawyer he was double crossed, but wasn't able to prove it. He didn't like the way this hearing was going. "No, sir, we don't have any other information at the present time." "Mr. Darr, what proof does Mrs. Bennet have on her husband's adultery?" "Well, Judge, we have proof of a number of occasions when Mr. Bennet has committed adultery but to save the court time we will just show you one time. It happened a few weeks ago which caused the final breakup of this couple. Mrs. Bennet went to see her sister on the suggestion of Mr. Bennet. These pictures were delivered to Mrs. Bennet by a unnamed friend when she stopped to see her parents after she returned on Sunday." "Pass the pictures up to me," replied the judge. Mr. Darr handed the court twenty-five different pictures of Roger having sex with at least three women. Roger jumped up to yell out when his lawyer stopped him. He would have gotten locked up for contempt. The judge handed the pictures to the bailiff and told him to give the pictures to Roger's side of the table. Mr. Cruz and Roger looked at them. Ed Bennet picked up a few and looked at them and threw them down in disgust. He looked at Roger with daggers in his eyes. "Do you deny any of those pictures, Mr. Bennet?" Roger knew he was had. He held his head down and told the judge he didn't deny the pictures. The judge ruled in favor of Jenny and then said all they had to do was an equal distribution of assets since there was no prenuptial agreement. Roger figured he lost the divorce case but he didn't care. He just wanted the money anyway. Jim stood up and asked if he could address the court. "Of course, son. What is it." "My secretary, Sally, did a complete audit of the computer hard drive. She has found a detailed gross and net worth summary for the Bennet's. It was written about two months ago when the Bennet's took out a five hundred thousand dollar loan using a second mortgage. This information was also on Mr. Bennet's hard drive. Again all this information was obtained legally." Jenny raised her hand as the judge notice her. She stood up and said, "Your Honor, I'm not aware of any loan. I never consented to any such loan. Would it be possible for me to compare my signature with that on the loan document?" "Of course, Mrs. Bennet, if there is fraud here I want to know about it." The judge looked at Sally and asked her if she had any copies of the document. "Yes, sir, I also brought the copies of the hard drives in case anyone feels there is a discrepancy. I take my job very seriously and always look for the truth." Ed, Roger's dad stood up and said, "Judge, that has to be a mistake, my son doesn't need to borrow money. I'm a millionaire. Someone......" Roger butted into his dad's speech. "Sit down, dad. I did borrow the money." Ed looked at his son and said, "What have you done with all the money I gave you? A million dollars when you got married and untold thousands since. What did you do with all of it?" "I lost it, dad. I spent it and had made some really bad investments. I was afraid to come to you for more so I borrowed it from my Credit Union. Since I'm the President it got okayed." The judge spoke again. "Mr. Bennet, is this document in front of you correct. You owe 1.3 million dollars on your home worth 1.2 million, after taking out the five hundred thousand dollar loan? It also says you have furnishings worth fifty thousand dollars. You have your wife's car paid for but you still owe thirty thousand on your Porsche. You have savings of ten thousand dollars and your wife has a savings of eight thousand dollars. Is this all correct? You have a minus net worth?" "Judge, it's all correct except that Jenny has a savings of over four million dollars. The private investigators told me so." "Sally, isn't it?" asked the Judge. "Did you tell Mr. Bennet that Mrs. Bennet has four million dollars?" "Absolutely not. We don't just give out numbers. We always make hard copies like I have showed you here today." Roger spoke up, "It wasn't her. It was her boss. He's the one who called me. He's the one that said she had all that money." Sally spoke, "Your Honor, I am the financial person in our office. I do one hundred per cent of the financial stats. Nothing financial goes through anyone but me, and as I said earlier, I have not spoken to this man. I would like to add that he owes us three thousand dollars for our investigation and I would like to receive it since he still has enough to pay our firm in his checking account." "That sounds like a wise idea, miss. Mr. Bennet, would you please write the lady a check now?" Roger was pissed. He had to pay us and received nothing for his troubles. After we received our check the judge asked Jenny if she wanted to press charges for her forged signature. She was entitled to half the loan, plus half the furnishings and half the value of the Porsche, probably totaling over three hundred thousand dollars. The house was a wash, since there was no value over the amount owed. "Judge, I want what's owed to me. He trashed our marriage and accused me of infidelity and then forged my signature. He can have the house since we owe more than its net worth but if he doesn't pay me what's owed me I want him put in jail and charges filed." Roger was crying, "I don't have it. I don't want to go to jail." Ed spoke up. "Jenny, I know Roger has wronged you. He is still my only son. If I agree to pay you a half million dollars, would you agree to drop any charges against him and each of you go your own way?" "Ed, you're a good man, unlike your son Roger. I respect you just like my father always has. If I agree to this, what is Roger going to learn? Whenever he's in trouble, he can always let his father bail him out?" "Please Jenny, I promise I'll deal with Roger in my own way." "Okay, Ed, out of respect for my own father and out of respect for you. I drop the charges." The judge basically ended the session. Most everyone was gone. Ed and Bob were having a discussion. Jenny was waiting on her father and Jim and Sally left the court room and were talking in the outer room when I showed up. "Boss, what are you doing here?" "I couldn't wait. How did it go?" "Just like you planned it, Jake. I even got us our check for the investigation." I then overheard a loud conversation coming from the room. Roger was yelling at Jenny. "You damn bitch, you owe me, this isn't over. I'm going to get even with your ass." Jenny started crying. Ed jumped in, "You stupid ass, haven't you done enough damage? She can have you locked up." "You may be my dad, but I'm my own man. I'm going to get even with this bitch." I had heard enough as I ran into the room. I pushed Roger into a chair and reached into my vest and pulled out a 9mm Beretta and put it to Roger's temple. Everyone was screaming at me. I heard "Jake, don't do it." "He isn't worth it." "Don't do it." I don't know who was saying what but I cocked the gun. "You stupid mother fucker! You had every chance to walk away and you chose to get even. How fucking arrogant can you be?" "Please don't shoot me, Jake. I promise I won't bother anyone again. I promise, Jake. Please don't shoot me." He was crying again. "You have three seconds to live, Roger. One ... two ... three." I pulled the trigger. Everyone heard Roger cry out as we heard "click". My gun wasn't loaded but Roger got the message as he was pissing his pants and it was running down his leg. By the smell his bowels might have let loose too. "If I ever hear of you bothering Jenny in any way including talking to her I'll be back and my gun will not be empty. Do you understand, you low life mother fucker?" Roger was crying, but was able to nod his head up and down. "Get this fucking low life out of my sight before I change my mind." Roger's dad helped his son out of the room. I could hear him tell Roger that he was through with him. He would never help him out financially again. I heard Jenny's dad whisper to her. "Is he the one you've been telling me about?" In a real soft tone I heard her say, "Yes, dad, that's him." I turned around and said, "Nice to see you again, Mr. Moore. It's been years since I last saw you. I don't know if you remember me but I'm little Jake from the old neighborhood." "I remember you, son. You're the kid who always pulled my Jenny's hair. I just want to thank you for everything you did for her." "Just doing my job, sir. We were all just doing our job. Well, I better go. I don't want to get arrested. See you around, Jenny." I told Jim and Sally it was time to leave. We still had to watch our actions. We all left and I bought my crew lunch. We all were glad it was over. We knew we had to start a new case the next day but for today, we could rest. It's been a few months and the divorces and settlements are finished. I talked with Jenny quite a few times and we discussed the future. She was taking evening computer classes. She didn't need the money but she wanted to keep busy. We talked a lot about the future. I told her I thought I really loved her but was afraid of commitment. I already blew it three times and she was the last woman I ever wanted to hurt. "Jake, answer a few questions for me. Do you think you love me? Not just the sex but do you love Jenny? Think about it before answering." "Yes, I think I do. Hell, I know I do! I'm afraid of hurting you though." "Be honest with me on this question. Who else have you had sex with since we've been seeing each other?" "No one, honestly, no one, Jenny." "Why is that, Jake? You're divorced, so you've been single for a few weeks. You and I haven't made love in months. Did you lose your libido, Jake? Are you not wanting to have sex?" "Of course not! I just ... um ... I want ... um ... Jenny, I can't kid myself. I'm waiting for you." "Exactly. We are meant to be together. Your only problem is you're afraid of cheating on me, correct? I might have a solution, give me a couple of days," said Jenny. "Jenny, there's something else. People might say I married you for your money." "Who the hell cares what people say? I only care what you think, Jake. Is it my money you want or me?" "Don't be stupid. It's you I want; it's always been you. No other girl has ever given me the cooties." "Then it's settled. I will see you in couple of days." "What's settled? What are you talking about?" "Jake, just know that I love you. It will all work out. Bye, love." "What will work out? What are you planning?" The line went dead. She must have hung up. Sally called to me from the outer room. "Boss, I hate to bother you with minor details but you promised me I could hire some help around here. I love you like a brother but I prefer to be with my husband and kids more." "Okay, Sally, I do understand but all you can pay them is minimum wage to start out. I want you to have the needed help but my finances are a bit on the low side." "That's fine, boss, at least it will help some. Don't forget you promised me a raise too." "One or the other right now, Sally. The choice is yours." The next day, she said, "Boss, I have a woman out here I'm interviewing for the job. Do you want to talk to her?" "Sure, Sally. Did you tell her we could only start her at minimum wage?" "Yes, she's a student and said she needs the experience. I think she will be a asset to the office. I've showed her a few of the computer screens and she has picked up on it quickly." "Okay, send her in." The woman came in - it was Jenny. She looked at me and said, "I told you I had it all figured out. If I'm here with you, I can keep my eye on you. Not because I don't trust you but because I just want to be near you. As you know, I am a student and the wage is not a problem. I am interested in the fringe benefits though. Can you explain them to me?" "Lock the door behind you and I will do more than explain them, I'll personally show them to you." She smiled and got up and looked out at Sally who was smiling. She closed the door and locked it. "Come around here and sit in this straight back chair. I want to straddle your lap." Jake The P.I. It just took me seconds to come around the desk and drop my pants. Jenny took off her undies and straddle my now huge member. "Are you going to marry me and make an honest woman out of me or do I have to tell my father that you just want to fuck me?" "I'll marry you, Jenny. God, I love you so and have missed being with you. Are you still able to bare children? "God, Jake, I'm only in my thirties. How many kids do you want?" "As many as you are able to have. I want a big family with you." "Well, I stopped taking the pill after the divorce with Roger, so I guess I ready to start right now. We have a good seven years to see how many we can pop out. Can you afford them?" "No, but my future wife can. Jenny, all kidding aside, I really do love you and I'm going to be the best husband and best damn dad there is." "Shut up for now, you caveman. I feel baby number one shooting into me now. Oh, God, Jake, give it all to me. Damn, I love my new job and I haven't even gotten paid yet." It was the beginning of a new life for Jenny and me. We started a family and we're already on child number three. She works with Sally and has learned the computer quite well. She has a room set up so she spends time with the kids. Between the two of them watching me I have stayed on the straight and narrow and now I know what real love is. Jenny and I have so much more than sex; We have true love between us. Sally spends more time with her family now. It's kind of funny but Jenny made me give Sally a huge raise. She said she would make sure the money was there for Sally. Me, I'm still almost always broke. I've got more than money. I've got Jenny and the kids. Jim is still single and enjoying his life. His beard grew back but he now keeps his head shaved. He said the women love rubbing his head. In case you are wondering about Doris, she made out okay. When she found out Roger was broke she left him but when Roger's dad saw her, he married her. He said he was a widower long enough. So Doris is a Mrs. Bennet, but it's papa she's pleasing. Roger lost his position in the credit union due to the falsification of the document. He now works in one of his dad's banks. He no longer is part of his dad's will. Doris saw to that. Well, that's about all I can tell you about Jake the private investigator for now. Hope you enjoyed the story. And as Jake now says, "The fourth time is a charm." Thank you for reading my story. Comments always welcome DG Hear
