Denise is instantly suspicious when a gorgeous woman hands her husband, Mitch, a thank-you note at a bar. Moments later, somebody sends her a video that shows Mitch and the hot young woman together. Denise sets out to find proof of Mitch\u2019s infidelity and instead stumbles upon a darker secret.<\/p>\n
Denise and Mitch were with their friends Tony, Tina, and Greg at a bar. Mitch was proudly talking about working on classic cars. \u201cFixed up an old Mustang and a vintage Chevy,\u201d he boasted.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Mustang? Man, that\u2019s impressive,\u201d Tony whistled while the rest were just as impressed.<\/p>\n
Denise was skeptical about Mitch\u2019s claims, considering their financial difficulties with the auto repair shop, which was in her name due to his bad credit history. But she remained quiet, letting him have his moment.<\/p>\n
When Mitch went to get another round of drinks, a beautiful woman approached him and handed him a note, which Denise saw. Upon Mitch\u2019s return, she quickly snatched the note and read it aloud, \u201cThanks for last night?\u201d<\/p>\n
He tried to dismiss it, saying, \u201cDen, it\u2019s just a prank. Tony set it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, just a joke to lighten the mood,\u201d Tony chuckled, but Denise heard the brokenness in the sound.<\/p>\n
A message notification interrupted the strained atmosphere. Denise\u2019s phone lit up, and she glanced at the screen. A sinking feeling gripped her as she opened the message, revealing a video.<\/p>\n
It unfolded like a nightmare \u2013 Mitch and the hot woman in his auto repair shop, an intimate encounter illuminated by the dim light.<\/p>\n
Shaken by the evidence of Mitch\u2019s betrayal, Denise decided to confront the woman directly. Despite his protests, she marched out of the bar into the parking lot, where it looked like the woman was fleeing.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey! Get back here!\u201d Denise yelled, chasing after her. The woman, quick on her feet, escaped in her car, leaving Denise coughing at the smoke left behind.<\/p>\n
The next day, she decided to investigate Mitch\u2019s finances for any signs of infidelity, hoping to find evidence of expensive gifts or dinners. She powered on his old laptop, which still contained all his saved passwords, and began her search.<\/p>\n
In less than fifteen minutes, Denise discovered something far more alarming than an affair. Photographs, car parts invoices, and car registration papers with matching VINs were visible in his files.<\/p>\n
Unlike her husband, she wasn\u2019t a fool. These were not legal acquisitions. They revealed Mitch\u2019s involvement in criminal activities. She almost wished he had been cheating instead.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Denise. What brings you here?\u201d Carlos, one of the mechanics, asked when Denise arrived at the auto shop. She needed her husband to tell her the whole truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking for Mitch. Where is he?\u201d Denise demanded, her anger barely contained.<\/p>\n
Carlos pointed her towards the back. She found him arguing with a man in the alley behind the shop. On a whim, she secretly recorded their conversation, capturing Mitch\u2019s visible frustration.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t use parts that are already broken. Come on, at least give me something I can work with,\u201d Mitch argued, his voice filled with desperation and defiance.<\/p>\n
But the man he was arguing with got angry and waved a crankshaft threateningly at Mitch. \u201cYou\u2019re lucky we\u2019re even giving you this,\u201d he snarled.<\/p>\n
Mitch protested the quality of the parts. \u201cLook at that cylinder head cover\u2026it looks like it was pried off with a crowbar.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man retorted, unphased, \u201cTake it or leave it, Mitch. You owe us.\u201d He threw the crankshaft at the floor and walked off.<\/p>\n
When the man was gone, Mitch finally spotted Denise. \u201cWhat the hell are you doing here?\u201d he growled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI-I just wanted to talk,\u201d Denise stammered, trying to walk away as he prowled in her direction. But Mitch was too quick and cornered her against a car, demanding to know what she saw.<\/p>\n
She denied seeing anything significant except for the last of the conversation between him and that stranger. But Mitch didn\u2019t seem to believe her.<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep your mouth shut, or there\u2019ll be consequences you can\u2019t even fathom,\u201d he sneered.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want any part of this, Mitch,\u201d Denise pleaded, pushing him away and fleeing away from him.<\/p>\n
Back in the garage, Denise lied to Carlos about being fine before hastily leaving. Overwhelmed by fear and anger, she broke down in her car, contemplating her past mistakes with Mitch.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the passenger car door opened, and a mysterious woman with a gun got in. \u201cDrive now. Get moving,\u201d she muttered coldly.<\/p>\n
With a small gasp, Denise realized it was the hot woman from the bar, but her hands still trembled on the steering wheel as she backed out and took the road. A few seconds later, she asked her captor, \u201cWhat do you want from me?\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman directed Denise to a secluded parking lot and revealed herself to be an undercover agent. \u201cI\u2019m Special Agent Garcia. I need your help to bring down the criminals at your husband\u2019s auto repair shop,\u201d Garcia explained, showing her badge.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do I even know you\u2019re the real deal?\u201d Denise asked, looking at the badge as if she knew how to detect if it was fake.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been watching Mitch\u2019s shop, and you stumbled upon something big today,\u201d Garcia replied. \u201cI need you to cooperate.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a few seconds of contemplation, Denise nodded. \u201cFine. I\u2019ll help you,\u201d she said, her voice shaking.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you find?\u201d Agent Garcia asked Denise once they got to her house and examined Mitch\u2019s laptop.<\/p>\n
Denise showed her photos and invoices indicating illegal activities. \u201cHe\u2019s been dealing with these people, paying off debts with stolen car parts,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is crucial. It links him to these guys,\u201d Agent Garcia said, nodding at the screen.<\/p>\n
Denise hung her head. \u201cI thought he was cheating, but it\u2019s more than that. He\u2019s involved in something dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
After reviewing the evidence, including a video of Mitch\u2019s shady dealings, Agent Garcia made a request. \u201cThere\u2019s enough here for a case, but we need more. Mitch might be key to bringing down the whole ring. Can you do one last thing to help me?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
Denise waited for Mitch to return home, pacing the living room. When he walked in, swaying and slurring from drinking, she stopped pacing and got upset.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve been drinking, haven\u2019t you?\u201d she demanded.<\/p>\n
Mitch replied, \u201cThat\u2019s none of your business. Where\u2019s my dinner?\u201d He hiccuped as he finished the sentence.<\/p>\n
Ignoring his demand, Denise pressed on, \u201cMitch, we need to talk. What\u2019s going on with the money you owe these people?\u201d<\/p>\n
He tried to brush it off as \u201cbusiness trouble,\u201d but she demanded the truth after witnessing his altercation with the man over stolen car parts. He snapped at last.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cheated them, okay? Sold a stolen classic car and pocketed the difference!\u201d Mitch confessed, trying to steady himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you spend it on?\u201d Denise asked, crossing her arms.<\/p>\n
Mitch admitted to squandering the money on part ownership of a racing dog, believing it to be a lucrative investment.<\/p>\n
Denise started pacing again, but it wasn\u2019t due to her anxiety. She was frustrated and wanted to scream or pull his hair. \u201cHow could you drag us into such a mess?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t expect you to find out, so you better keep your mouth shut. You\u2019ll end up wearing concrete shoes at the bottom of the river if you tell. They won\u2019t do anything to me,\u201d he smirked and laughed drunkenly. \u201cThey need me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Out of nowhere, he stumbled on his own feet onto the floor. That was the last straw. Denise thought Mitch would be afraid for them both, but he wasn\u2019t. He didn\u2019t care if she got hurt because of his actions. She stepped beyond him, ignoring his: \u201cCome back here and help me!\u201d<\/p>\n
She felt him standing up, but Denise opened the front door, and Agent Garcia was there, ready for anything. Mitch was caught off guard as Garcia revealed her true identity and arrested him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you send me that video?\u201d Denise asked the undercover agent a while after other officers were done searching her home just in case they could gather more evidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought you should know what Mitch was doing,\u201d Agent Garcia answered, sighing. \u201cI wanted to ensure you wouldn\u2019t be blamed for his crimes since the shop is in your name.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI could have been in trouble for Mitch\u2019s actions?\u201d Denise gasped.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s complicated, but now that we know all the details, you shouldn\u2019t worry. You\u2019re clear of any suspicion,\u201d the agent comforted her.<\/p>\n
With this assurance, Denise decided it was time for a fresh start. She took charge of the auto repair shop, determined to run it honestly.<\/p>\n
The next day, Carlos greeted her with a smile as she entered the shop, but he frowned slightly at her determined expression. \u201cDenise, everything okay?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
Denise confirmed her new role firmly, \u201cMitch is no longer involved. We\u2019re going to run things differently now. No more illegal activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carlos was taken aback for a second, but he quickly grinned again. \u201cI\u2019m with you, Denise. It\u2019s about time,\u201d he nodded.<\/p>\n
