We all piled into Greg's car. We stopped by the investigators office first as it was on the way. Amelia explained to the kids the cameras and listening devices were tiny and sound or motion activated. They transmitted to a hidden receiver that used her home modem to access the internet. A second receiver picked up the signal so it can be captured by a phone or computer. "I suppose you can pull the video that is saved to the cloud directly to any computer if you have the right address and security codes."
I suggested the kids go home when they dropped Amelia and I off at the bar to retrieve our cars. They refused. "Heck no, Dad. We want to watch the show." Sam said. Then he corrected himself quickly. "Not Mom having sex. I mean we want to see how they reacted to Amelia calling Carl." The other two agreed. I relented and we followed Amelia to her brother's house.
Brad sent his two kids outside when he found out what Amelia had done. They complained a bit at first but complied. I decided to sweeten the pot a bit and told them I had a massive collection of video games and they could come over to my house with their Aunt Amelia later and pick out whatever they wanted to play. They almost shot out the door. "See? It doesn't take long to get out the house if you have a good incentive." Tina said, grinning.
We connected the receiver to Brad's television using a USB cable. I used the remote control to enter the proper codes. I had all the information I needed to access the information and save it to a computer later.
I fast-forwarded the video past Carl going through his normal morning routine, running around the house in his boxers and drinking coffee. I slowed it to normal speed when Sarah arrived.
"I can't believe Ty has video of us! How the Hell did he get it? You said he did not suspect a thing! He must have, or do you think he got it from somebody else?" Carl asked. Sarah shrugged and said I had not given her a clue I was even mildly suspicious.
"We made love Tuesday night. I am sure he did not know then. I don't think he is that good an actor. Somebody had to tell him and they had to have a reason to get involved. You don't think it was Amelia do you?" Sarah asked.
"No way." Carl replied. "She would never have gone out of town to visit her mother if she knew about us. She would have confronted me right away and made my life hell! No it has to be somebody else who has it in for me. Maybe Ed, the faggot general contractor. He hates me and would tell Amelia in a flash, I think. Unless he wants to blackmail me. He knows you and might have gone to your husband first just to screw with us. Or somebody at the office who is jealous of you. But I'm afraid Ty might go tell Amelia as soon as he can. I doubt he knows how to contact her and will have to wait until she gets back. Maybe I can bribe Ty to keep his mouth shut about who it is you are seeing." Sarah scoffed.
"Seriously. I know it won't stop him from divorcing you." Carl said. "But maybe if I offer to slip him 10K a month he will keep Amelia out of the picture."
"You can hide that kind of cash? Doesn't Amelia know about all our sales?" Sarah said. "I thought you said she reviews the financial records of the brokerage on occasion."
"Yeah, she gets nosy at times but maybe I can make up a dummy recipient for a few commissions. And then funnel the cash to Ty." Carl mused. "It was not worth the risk to my broker's license to steal money before but I'm desperate. This is life or death. If we can even get Ty on board that is. And the 10k a month won't last long. Once I have him on the hook, I'll have evidence he is avoiding paying the IRS. I can drop his bribe down a ways. I doubt he will risk jail or losing whatever money he has left after your divorce for back taxes and penalties. Or I might be able to make it look like he is extorting me."
'What a piece of shit!" I yelled. "Bribing me and then planning to blackmail me!" Amelia and Brad both shushed me.
"But we still have no idea who got the video of us in the first place!" Sarah said. "That is a problem."
"We'll make whoever it is the same deal we make Ty." Carl said. "And we make it a package deal so if either refuses, neither gets paid. That gives us one of them to help convince the other to go along."
"Dangerous game to play." Sarah warned. "But I will really need this job after Ty divorces me. If he claims adultery, I might not get alimony. I'm not sure how the law works but that is a big risk for me." Carl assured Sarah her job was safe as long as he could do anything about it.
"That brings us back to who made the video in the first place." Carl said. "You didn't see where the video was taken? You said you saw your kids watching you give me a blowjob."
"I had a quick glance at the television." Sarah said. "Just enough time for it to register what they were watching. I was so mortified I could not face them. I sure as hell did not take the time to look for wall hangings or which bed we were in. I just got out of there. I couldn't even face them this morning. I am going to have to sooner or later. Of course they know what sex is. They are all sexually active but I don't pry into what they are doing. Do you think it would probably be the apartment or here? We only did it in a hotel room a few times. You were always afraid of leaving a paper trail. We have no idea when it was made either."
"I am thinking it has to be the apartment." Carl said. "But I have no idea how he or she found out. I rent it in the company name. That means possibly anybody in the firm or the accountant. Somehow somebody noticed it on the books or followed us there. I really don't think anybody could get in here to install a camera. I mean a burglar might pick the lock, but only Amelia and I know the security code. And that brings us back to how it can't be Amelia or she would already have gone after my balls and not left town."
"Hey. Since Ty knows anyway, why don't we go into the bedroom and get it on?" Carl suggested. "He pointed to the erection now tenting his boxers.
"Are you kidding me?" Sarah exclaimed. "My marriage is in shambles and you want to fuck! No way."
"Doing without is not going to help your case." Carl suggested. I heard the timbre of his voice change. Smarmy bastard, I thought."It might even take the edge off and let you think of some new options. Something we missed."
