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.

Anna's niece and nephew came bounding into the guest room at her sister Lucy's house at 6 in the morning. It was Christmas 2000. Anna had come down to spend the holidays in Miami with Lucy, who had just split with her husband, and Lucy felt it would be nice for the kids to get some extra time with their aunt.

Lucy and Anna joined the kids in the living room, then watched as the kids tore open the wrapping paper on their presents with delight. Lucy leaned back on the couch, relaxed and happy, but Anna remained tense, watching the kids like a hawk. Anna got up and began obsessively cleaning up every last shred of wrapping paper almost as soon as it hit the floor.

Lucy pulled her aside, a little alarmed at her sister's sudden compulsive need to tidy up. She asked Anna to just relax and enjoy the day with them. There was no reason to be so stressed out. Lucy was wrong. Anna had a lot to be stressed about. After the FBI took down the Miami-based group of Cuban spies called the Wasp Network, Anna's handlers went dark.

She was completely out in the cold with no one to talk to. Even her one-time colleague Marta had long since cut off contact to prevent suspicion about their activities. Anna was entirely alone. Unbeknownst to Anna, the root of her troubles was sitting right next to her by the Christmas tree. Lucy had been one of the agents in the FBI task force that took down the WASP network.

Of course, Lucy had no idea she was endangering her sister's safety. How could she? Anna desperately wanted out of being a spy. She was over 40 now, and she had had a long distance boyfriend that she wanted to build a life with. She couldn't exactly intercept shortwave radio transmissions with him around, especially since he was also a US analyst of Cuban intelligence.

Her betrayals were eating away at her, making her feel like her whole life was a lie. Anna had told her handlers she was ready to retire from spying, hoping they would just thank her for her help and let her go on her way. They declined, reminding her about all of the information they'd accumulated on her over the years.

They implied that information might fall into the hands of her employer if she were to ever betray their confidence. By this point, Anna's obsessive-compulsive behaviors were getting downright scary. She would shower for hours, meticulously cleaning herself. Boiled potatoes with no condiments became the bulk of her diet. She wore sun protective gloves while she drove.

She couldn't bear even the smallest mess. That's why she cleaned up the Christmas wrapping paper as soon as it hit the floor. Lucy was beginning to notice how much her sister was changing, and not for the better. Lucy wanted to do anything she could to help her sister.

So when Anna's boyfriend called, asking Anna to spend a few days with him after Christmas, Lucy encouraged her to join him, even though it meant cutting their visit short. Anna told him she didn't want to. There was nothing Lucy could do. Anna's time as a spy had done its damage. And soon enough, it was going to come to an end.

In October 2001, Lucy drove from her mother Amelia's house in Maryland, along with her mother, her brother Tito, and her sister-in-law. The mood in the car was grim, almost like they were going to a funeral. But in fact, they were heading for a federal prison. Three weeks earlier, Lucy was working in the FBI office in Miami when her boss asked to see her.
