When Brent Cartwright became an undercover narcotics officer, he told his wife, Wesley, that it would be safer.

"Bad guys don’t want trouble. They just want your money and to get out of there," he reassured her. After years of unpredictable patrol work, undercover assignments seemed like a shift toward stability, more controlled environments, fewer calls involving guns. Wesley trusted him. She believed he was making the best decision for his career and their family.

But what Brent didn’t realize at the time was that he wasn’t just doing the job, he was becoming it. The rush of working undercover, the thrill of taking down drug dealers, the high stakes operations where everything could go sideways in a second; it was exhilarating. Over time, it changed him.
