Mark’s business activities started to raise suspicions of dishonesty. His stories lacked details and contained whispered talks. Although his furniture business initially prospered, subtle fractures started to show. Coworkers who had previously commended him began to talk quietly. I had a nagging suspicion that there was more to him than met the eye. Initially faint, the indications became more obvious, as though a shaky foundation would soon collapse.

I engaged a private investigator to learn more about Mark’s past because I knew I needed answers. Although it was not an easy choice, the truth—no matter how harsh—felt essential. I gave them everything I knew, including email addresses, business cards, and the little information Mark had given me. Even though I was terrified of what would eventually come to light from this excavating, I felt this was the right thing to do as the investigator nodded and committed details to memory.
