**Be advised - this short story was originally published in the 4 Secrets Anthology** Mitchell Victor, a struggling writer, suspects his wife, Tasha, is cheating. His suspicions are confirmed when he snoops through her emails, and finds a message from her lover—the Police Chief. The email details the date, place, and time of their next rendezvous. Victor concocts a clever plan to crash their private party. Armed with a gun and a heart filled with rage, he carries out his plan. But, no plan is perfect—and neither is Mitchell’s. As a result, he learns a harsh lesson…never look for trouble unless you’re prepared to handle the secrets that come with it.
