She felt a sense of kinship with communist revolutionaries, people who fought back against violent repression in the way she wanted to fight back against her father. By the time Anna graduated high school and left for the University of Virginia, her relationship with Lucy was amicable, but distant.

Without their father's abuse to unite them, the Montez sisters became set on different paths in life, paths that would ultimately lead them to opposing sides of American intelligence. In the fall of 1977, Ana hurried down a street in Madrid, laughing as she ran. She called back to her friend Mimi Colon, telling her to keep up.

In the months they'd spent studying abroad, Ana and Mimi had become inseparable. They were both Puerto Rican, fiercely independent and ready to change a world they saw as unjust. Together, they had marched the streets of Madrid against US support of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco's regime and discussed the negative impact of American policies on other countries.

In a way, Ana felt like she'd found a new sister. The two carried bottles of wine up the stairs and knocked on the door of a small flat. Ricardo Fernando Aires opened the door and Ana threw her arms around him. She ran her fingers through his dark curls and kissed him hard. Ana and Ricardo had met on the train from Barcelona back to Madrid.

She was captivated by the Argentinian boy with sensitive eyes who'd come to Spain to escape the authoritarian dictatorship of his home country. In Ricardo, she found both a boyfriend and a comrade. Ricardo let Ana and Mimi into his flat, where his other friends greeted them warmly.

Ana poured everyone some wine, and they settled into the living room, where they were harshly criticizing the United States and its government's support of violent regimes. Mimi thought her native Puerto Rico should be independent and free from the control of the American government. Even though Ana agreed with her, her feelings were more complicated.

Her parents had come from Puerto Rico, but she thought of herself as fully American, though she was embarrassed to admit it in this group. Ana's romance with Ricardo fizzled out by the end of her year in Madrid. She respected his revolutionary passion, but maintaining a long-distance relationship would have required work that neither of them was willing to put in.

They parted on good terms, and when she got back to the States, Ricardo continued writing to her and passing along books on Argentinian revolutionaries. Ana graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in foreign affairs a year later, eager to forge a new path for herself.

One of her friends told her about a low-level clerical job at the Justice Department's Office of Privacy and Information Appeals in Washington, D.C. Being a clerk typist wasn't exactly an opportunity to change the world, Anna thought, but it was stable and secure and close to home in Baltimore.

Just four months after she started working at the Justice Department, Anna's boss called her into his office. She reassured herself that she had nothing to worry about. She'd done her best to keep her head down and do the job well. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling that she'd done something wrong.

Could they have discovered her relationship with Ricardo, or the revolutionary books he'd been sending her? Anna had passed her FBI background check despite her growing contempt of the U.S. government, but she was worried they knew about her politics and had flagged her for additional review. Anna walked into the office, mustering her best poker face.
