Back to your car

Well, at least you got a hot girl's number, you think while walking back onto the car park. You didn't manage to find out anything, and you're a little disappointed. Alice will be disappointed as well. But at least she won't be devastated... yet. Sighing you step into your car, and take your phone out. You should call Alice and tell her about the meeting. Maybe she's got any better ideas.

As you are looking up Alice's number in your contact list, you hear a sudden knock on the car window to the left of you. You jerk up and look around to find the perpetrator. The boom mic operator stands there.

'Hey, what's up?' you ask, a bit perplexed.

'Sorry, didn't mean to scare you,' he laughs politely. 'I just wanted to tell you that what you were asking earlier... About Pascal I mean. I know some things.'

'Alright... Are you going to tell me?' you ask.

'Well, he's a real piece of shit,' the man answers. 'And we met his fiancée when she came to an office party. Everyone thought she was the sweetest girl. He doesn't deserve that.'

'Interesting...' you say. 'What makes you say he's a real piece of shit?'

'Well, he's cheating on his fiancée,' the microphone guy starts, counting on his fingers. 'He has a huge gambling problem... He cheats his performance sheets... he bullies everyone into lying for him about his work performance... I mean, I could go on.'

'Yeah, that sounds like a piece of shit,' you answer smiling. 'So, he's cheating on his fiancée huh? Who is it?'

'Well, he had a short relationship with the receptionist...' the microphone guy answers eagerly. He seems to really want to slag off Pascal. They must really hate him here. 'Then that stopped, as far as we know. But now he's secretly sleeping around with his boss.'

'Hmm,' you murmur, secretly delighted. 'Do you have any footage of this?'

'We did film him kissing the receptionist, but the footage was deleted by his request unfortunately. As for the boss; we have the money shots, if you want to know. They've been doing it around the office, and some times we've even been able to catch them on camera.'

Perfect! you think. _What are the chances of him being filmed by a camera crew at all times? _All you know is that the odds must be in your favor on this one, maybe some good karma or something. 'If I give you my number, could you send me that footage, uhh... what's your name?' you ask the camera man excitedly.

'The name is Mike, sir,' he answers. 'Mike the mic guy.' He smiles pleasantly, and takes out his phone. 'And yes, I can send you the footage. What will you do with it?'

As you give him your number, you tell him; 'Well, if he really is the asshole you tell me he is, there's lots of things I could use this for,' you wink. 'And it's probably not going to be good for him.'

He smiles and nods. 'Good. I will send you the footage later today.' Once he left, you sit in the car for a moment. Just thinking.

So Pascal was cheating after all. And it seems like you might be getting proof as well. This is great, great news. But now the question is; what do you tell Alice? You have to call her, that's for sure. She will be waiting for it. But do you tell her all about what Mike just told you? Or do you keep things a secret for now, until you have further proof?
