The first few days after coming back from the Bahamas (Well, except for the first day...) mom and I tried our best to be extra careful. We still had sex at home when dad was at work, but nothing adventurous comparing to what we did before.
Three days later I noticed that my checking account was almost empty.
It was around 2 pm. I drove to the branch of Chase that dad was working in, hoping to arrange the switch from my savings to checking and then see him at his work.
I didn't see dad at the boardroom or conference room, so I assumed that he was in his office.
I entered the secretary's office and reintroduces myself (Last time I visited this branch was years ago) and asked her if I could talk to my dad.
"Oh, I am sorry. He is in the conference room presenting the investment plans for next year..."
"Lady, I just came from there. The conference room is empty..."
"Let me check again... I am sorry, the conference was postponed, so he went to a confidential board meeting. Sorry that you won't be able to see him today... Alex, please call next time before you show up and I'm sure that he'll be happy to see you..."
I didn't bother telling the secretary that the board room was vacant as well. Something sounded fishy...
The savings to checking move didn't take long. Twenty minutes later I was in my car.
I went to a Walmart store and for less than $30 bought a Tracki GPS tracker... It took me an hour to check the battery, connect to my phone and pay for subscription in advance.
You guessed right... The same evening I attached it to dad's car.
Unbeknown to mom I followed dad's car for a full 2 weeks, every few days recharging the battery.
Then I created a map of his daily routs.
Every morning but Thursday he drove straight to the bank. Each evening except for Tuesday he drove back the same way. So the question was what was happening Thursday mornings and Tuesday evenings.
The GPS showed his car parking in the same location both days...
The next day I drove to that address. It was a private house.
As I was about to leave, a blonde woman, I'd say around 35 years old with big bust, came out the door, entered a Chevrolet Impala and drove away. I looked at the name on the door. It said 'Shelly and Jack Anderson'.
'Is dad having an affair with this woman? At her home? Not in a hotel?... Is she married?!...' I needed to know.
I contacted one of my old buddies from high school, that I didn't see for many years now.
He was always a computer freak and my hunch was that he could help me.
I found his phone number (luckily he still lived at his old parents house).
It took him time to remember who I was.
I guess that back then I considered him my friend, while he hardly paid attention to me...
But he was polite. I asked him what would be the best way to find out online some information about a woman.
"My suggestion is to find out if she is on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or any other social media app. Most people below the age of 40 are these days..." I thanked him.
Another hour of looking on line and this woman profile was revealed. She didn't try to hide anything.
She was 33 years old, married to Jack for 7 years, had no children and she worked as a...banker at another branch of Chase...
The picture became clear. Dad was having an affair with this busty blonde. He was visiting her house while her husband was at work...
I also recalled several 'business trips' he took in the last 2 years. I wondered whether he took her with him...
Well, it didn't really matter now.
My dilemma was if I should tell mom about it or not. I wasn't sure, so I decided... not to decide (yet...).
The only good thing about my dad cheating on mom was that the little guilt trip I still had, has disappeared!
