Prologue
Although I married my wife Krista, a German national who I met while on assignment overseas, because I loved her, I also married her to provide me with the cover of being a normal married man here in the US.
Luckily, Krista already spoke perfect English, though with a slight German accent.
So she easily fit in here in the States and quickly got her US citizenship.
I own and operate a very successful Private Investigation firm that does very well on its own. However, it is also a secret unofficial arm of the SIA. The Secret Intelligence Agency.
As such, my agency has possession of the newest surveillance equipment for audio, video and photographic surveillance of all types.
Basically, I have my own agency that is very profitable.
But I and my coworkers are also secret agents of the SIA.
We are a secret agency because technically, we are not supposed to carry out domestic operations.
But due to the fact that foreign operatives come here to the states, we have to carry out missions here in the US.
My wife Krista knows that I am a private investigator. She does not know that I am a SIA agent. Nor does my family or any of our marital friends.
On an average, I may be involved with an SIA mission maybe 3 or 4 times per year. Some years more. Some years less. The extra income that I earn from the SIA I put directly into a secret savings account. I will have a very nice nest egg when I retire.
All of this being said, I would be the worse husband on Earth to cheat on.
