One Cuban agent even stopped her on the street before her morning commute, taking the massive risk of being seen out in the open together. They were deathly afraid that the United States was about to attack the island. Despite her suspicious exit, Ana did manage to influence the task force's response, arguing strongly against taking military action.

In the end, the American government strongly condemned the shoot-down and issued sanctions against Cuba, but issued no military response. Ana had served her masters in Havana well, but she had drawn unwanted attention from her colleagues. Leaving the Pentagon early that day would be the first domino that would ultimately bring her down.

In 1998, while the FBI was investigating a ring of Cuban agents in Miami, they discovered that the Cubans had placed a mole in a high-ranking position in the federal government. The FBI called the mole Agent S, but they only had limited information on the mole's identity. All they knew was that this person had met with someone with the initials WD and bought a Toshiba laptop to use for spy work.

In addition, this mole had visited Guantanamo Bay, a US-controlled section of Cuba, in 1996. Beyond that, they had no idea who Agent S was. The FBI's investigation into Agent S stalled for two years until it finally came to the attention of Scott Carmichael, the Defense Intelligence Agency's senior counterintelligence investigator. It was Scott's job to find enemy spies within their ranks.

Scott didn't exactly fit the image of a spy hunter. People often told him he looked like the comedian Chris Farley. And because of this, most people underestimated him. But Scott was hard-nosed, ambitious, and thorough, and willing to do whatever he needed to root out moles.

As he began digging into the information, Scott increasingly suspected that Agent S might be working in the Defense Intelligence Agency. Scott reviewed the records for government officials who visited Guantanamo Bay between July 4 and July 18, 1996, the dates the Miami evidence indicated the spy had been present. When he saw Ana Montes' name flash on his screen, a chill ran down his spine.

Ana had visited Guantanamo Bay in that window exactly, and it was just five months before she left work early during the Brothers to the Rescue incident. Scott began to dig deeper. Knowing that Agent S had met someone with the initials WD, he recalled that Anna had met her own WD after the brothers to the rescue planes were shot down.

When he'd interviewed her, she'd boasted about closely working with William Dougherty, the chief of the FBI's counterintelligence section. The initials matched perfectly. Scott was certain Anna was the mole. He went to the FBI with his findings, but Stephen McCoy, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation, was skeptical.

Scott was certain Anna was the mole. He went to the FBI with his findings, but Stephen McCoy, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation, was skeptical.

He told Scott he was certain the mole was a man, like approximately 95% of spies. For the next year, Scott fought to convince McCoy that Agent S was in the other 5%. Eventually, Special Agent McCoy relented. He and his partner began investigating Anna. and it soon became clear how right Scott Carmichael had been.

As they began looking into Anna's activities, they gave her the codename Blue Wren to keep her identity a secret throughout the investigation. The FBI started watching Anna's every movement, every keystroke, every call, even going through her trash, her apartment, and her pocketbook.

They discovered Anna's shortwave radio, along with the unencrypted data on her computer hard drive and a sales receipt for a Toshiba laptop. the same kind that Cuba had directed Agent S to buy. Indisputable evidence was piling up against Ana, and she had no idea she was even under investigation.
