I'm Kevin Simms, at the start of this story a thirty two year old attorney, mostly dealing in negotiating and litigating contracts, although I do dabble in other areas. At the start of this story I had been married for eight years to Deborah (never Debby) Simms, who works in sales for a Fortune 1000 company. I'm now divorcing her.
The details relating to the divorce aren't necessarily important but I'll relate a few of them anyway. I caught Deborah cheating with a co-worker of hers at lunchtime at our rented house. They were so into it that I was able to get the keys out of his pants, which were strewn on the floor at the entrance to our bedroom, without them noticing me. I turned on our security camera (with a delay requiring the front door to open once more after I left before recording so that it didn't catch me doing what I was going to do) covering the front door and surrounding area, which usually we only turn on at night, and then silently exited the house with his keys in hand.
With gloves on I unlocked Deborah's lover's car - which they obviously had arrived in together. I popped the hood then cut every single wire and hose in the engine compartment using a tree pruning tool from my garage. I then closed and locked the car up and took the keys with me. I disposed of the keys and the tree pruner in a dumpster behind a 7-11 that I knew did not have a security camera.
From a pay phone at the 7-11 I called Jim Jackson, an 80+ year old retired neighbor who I was very friendly with and who lived only two doors down. I gave him some flimsy excuse to ask him to go by my house - Jim has signs of dementia and by the next day would likely never remember me even calling him. I asked him to call me at my office if something was amiss at my house. I made sure that he wrote down my office number.
The phone was ringing as soon as I walked through my office door.
"Hi Keith," Jim started out - half the time he called me "Keith," the other half by my real name "Kevin." "There's a big bustle in front of your house. Diana," - he got Deborah's name wrong constantly, although all the names he called her always started with a "D" - "and some guy are fiddling with a car."
"Thanks, Jim" I chuckled. "Want me to get you something from the store on my way home tonight?"
"Some Wild Turkey sure would be nice," he coughed.
"You got it, Jim," I said with a smile before hanging up.
I called Deborah's cell phone. She sounded exasperated when she answered it "Hello."
"Hi Deborah, I just got a call from our neighbor Jim Jackson. He said that you are having car trouble or something?"
"Oh, well, uh... someone vandalized my car and I have to have it towed."
"Jim said that there was some guy there helping you?"
"Oh, yeah, some guy walking down the street tried to help but we have to wait for a tow truck."
"Is there something that I can do? Do you want me to come home right now?"
"Oh no no no," she said way too hurriedly and enthusiastically. "The tow truck should be here any minute."
"Well make sure that you get the bill from the tow truck driver so that I can put it through to our insurance if the car was vandalized. What were you doing home at lunch anyway?"
"Oh, uh, well, you see, well," Deborah always has trouble getting things out when she's lying, "I had to get some documents for a presentation that I was to make this afternoon and I had forgotten them at home, and it took me a while to find them, and in the meantime someone vandalized my car."
"Well if there's anything that you need this afternoon please just give me call the office. I would love to help. Bye now."
"Uh, bye, uh, thanks for calling Kevin," she stuttered before she cut off her phone.
"It should be a very interesting discussion when I show her the footage from the camera at the front door tonight," I chuckled to myself. Maybe "chuckled" is the wrong word. I was not in any way shape or form in a good mood. I saw the end of my marriage, and I didn't like it. Maybe it wasn't the best marriage in the world, but I thought that at least we loved each other and that she was faithful - I know that I always was.

That night when I got home, after dropping off a quart of Wild Turkey for Jim, I asked Deborah about the car. "Oh I was able to take care of it just fine," she lied.
"Do you have the receipt from the tow truck and the repair?"
"Oh I was able to take care of them myself with the insurance company right from my office. There's no reason for you to get involved."
"Oh, that's normally something that you need my help with. I'm glad to see that you were able to take care of it by yourself."
