I need help. I have a strong feeling about something, but I cannot prove it, and I want you to help me figure out how I can prove it. I believe my sister is sleeping with our mother's boyfriend. Our mom is going through some kind of cougar phase and her boyfriend is young enough to be her son. I think it's disgusting but she seems very happy.
Our mother travels a lot for work so her boyfriend is at home with us most of the time. He's supposed to be protecting us, but instead he is getting down and dirty with my sister. It would make more sense for my sister to date him since he's only 10 years older than her but it's still wrong. Like, how could she sleep with the same man our mom is sleeping with? Before you panic, she's 20, so he's not committing a crime, but how could she do that??
Anyway, the reason for my suspicion is because of two occasions. The first one is when I got up one night to pee and I heard them in the kitchen talking quietly and I heard kissing sounds, like when lips smack together. The other thing was one day I came home from school early on purpose because I wanted to catch them. I came in and went upstairs and her room door was closed. When I walked past her room, the damn floor board squeaked! All of a sudden her room got dead silent. So I pretended to go in my room and peek through the door. She came out of there with just a shirt on and called my name. I answered and she was asking why I came home already. I told her I was sick. She went back in her room and then a little while later I saw him come out. I opened my room door fully and asked what he was doing in there. He told me that he was looking at the faucet in my sister's bathroom. He must think I'm stupid.
I really want to catch them in the act so my mom can throw this asshole out of our house. I also want her to see that my sister is a devious whore and she isn't as innocent as my mother thinks she is.
What do you suggest I do? I need to catch them ASAP!

Dear I Spy,
I'm all for weeding out the bad apples, but sometimes it's best to sit back and watch things unfold. These sorts of things usually reveal themselves, so there's no need to get your hands dirty. But if I can't convince you to be a bystander, then utilize technology to help you out. Place inconspicuous cameras around your home to catch any potential action.
Assuming your hunch is correct, what will you do when the relationship between your mother and sister becomes strained. There's bound to be a lot of confusion and drama in your home if your sister is caught with your mom's man. Think about how you want to deal with that. Think about whether you want to confront your sister or the boyfriend with the evidence instead of your mother. That may be a way to decrease the drama. Think about your relationship with your sister. It seems you already have an ongoing rift with her because of her ways. Are you prepared to worsen the relationship?
There's a lot you need to determine before you detonate any bombs. Be sure about your assumptions before you do anything.
Walk good,
