iPrivateEye: Season 1 - Part 3
by John Shepphird
I’m outside her apartment and fixing to plant the hidden camera
Fixing?
Cowboy speak
Don’t let anyone see you
I brought a bucket and squeegee so I look like a window washer guy
Good thinking
I can monitor my GoPro from my car on my laptop.
How’s that work?
The camera’s got a wireless transmitter.
Really?
I got it for my drone. As long as I’m not too far away. Where are you?
At a wig store looking for a disguise
???
Since Travis recognized me and suspects I’m following
You’re going to tail him?
Yes. In your professional opinion, which wig should I wear?
Go with the blonde with dark roots. Put on that black cocktail dress of yours and meet at my place
Won’t you ever give up?
NEVER!
I can’t be with anyone right now
So you’ve said, but we were great together. Admit it
I can’t believe it. These wigs cost nine hundred bucks
Probably made of real hair
Looking for a cheaper one
I’ll meet you there
No, we’ve got a job to do. What do you think of this one? Nylon and only $25
Redhead? Nice
I’ll text you later
Don’t get caught
an hour later
Success. Camera is in Christa’s window. I see her in her room
What is she doing?
Studying
I’m in my car following Travis. But he’s not driving to Christa’s place
Where are you?
Downtown. He’s pulling into a hotel
Wedding planning?
I’m going in. Parking now
Don’t let him recognize you
I’m disguised
Your black cocktail dress? Send me a photo
No and no
Got your dad’s gun?
In my purse, not that I’ll need it
Be careful with that thing
It’s not loaded
ten minutes later
He’s waiting by the elevator
Don’t let him see you
He just went up and got off on the fifth floor
Romantic rendezvous?
I’ll wait in the lobby
Christa is still in her bedroom
Keep me posted
an hour later
He just came down with an older woman
Seriously? How old?
Forties. They clinched hands. She brushed his cheek. Body language appears romantic
Get a photo
I can’t without drawing attention.
Dude’s a regular Casanova!
He’s heading out. She seems sad.
What’s she doing?
Checking out at the front desk
This guy gets around. Are you sure he’s not a gigolo?
What’s Christa doing?
Still at home, but it looks like she’s heading out
How can you tell?
Getting dressed and putting on makeup
Follow her
half an hour later
Got stuck at a red light and lost him. Where are you?
Following Christa on foot. She just went into a bar
Mickey’s? Go in and see who she meets
Roger
Roger who?
It’s a military term. Means message “received”
This is no time for jokes
It’s not a joke
Don’t patronize me. You’re not funny. What’s she doing?
Christa is sitting at the bar texting someone. She ordered two glasses of wine
Our client will expense drinks. Order a beer to blend in.
Use cash so you don’t have to wait on the bill if she leaves. I’ll meet you there
Roger
Stop it!
Uh oh… you better not come
Why?
Guess who just sat down next to her?
Travis?
Bingo
I’ll text our client
Creatures of habit these two?
What do you mean?
A drink and then off to her place?
Willing to bet
