Chapter 1
Two months after graduating from Gallagher, the head of the CIA, Agent Carmen, came to me with the file. I was at Georgetown, and she was sitting on my bed, waiting for me to come back to my dorm.
"Ah. Agent Morgan. I just received word about a mission that I hope you will take," she said.
"What's the mission and who's my partner?" I asked.
"About that… you won't have a partner. I need you to infiltrate a Russian mob. There have been numerous deaths, disappearing, and bombings that have been linked back to them. If you accept, your job will be to gain their trust so you can figure out who their leader is. The last agent we sent in there, the last thing he told us before he was killed was 'the book exists'. This 'book' is a list of every single one of their operatives and plans for assassinations and bombings. What do you say? You in?" she asked as I processed this information. I had heard rumors about this group before, like our five best agents were discovered and killed already. One minute seventeen seconds later, I knew what I was going to say.
"When do I leave?" I asked faking the courage I had already lost.
"Great. Your flight leaves tomorrow at noon. Oh, and one last thing. No one can know anything about this mission, especially Zach. From this point on, you are a traitor, not only to your country, but to those you care about," she said as she walked out leaving me to decide how I was even going to survive.
