Undercover

The detective peeked through the keyhole
 As he gathered clues at the scene of the crime
 He knew the suspects well, but things had spun out of control
 And had for a long time

 A heavy object had jammed the door shut
  He'd soon go through this scene with a fine tooth comb
 Then in the corner he saw a cigarette butt
 He knew it wasn't his, for this was his home!

 Behind the locked door was his wife and her lover
 It was one of his 'friends' who'd gone undercover
 He banged on the door, he wanted in
 In this situation no one could win

 He heard the door creak open later that night
 Before it was over someone would be dead
 But instead of bloody fight
 They had a threesome instead!

Your detective story kept me going to the end, curious to find out what comes next. Certainly, wasn't expecting that surprise ending..I did laugh out loud. Well written, Joseph.
