Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa flipped through the documents and studied them carefully.

She spotted a red-colored heading.

Suddenly, she realized that these were classified documents.

Compromising classified information from a foreign state was undeniably unethical and reckless.

Regrettably, the damage was done.

She had already opened it.

Soon enough, Alyssa realized that the documents were likely submitted by the National Security Agency.

They contained information on some of the top spies who had harmed Kontina's national interests over the years.

These spies seemed to be on the run and had not yet been captured.

They came from well-to-do families, were industry elites, or held significant positions.

Yet, the crimes they had committed were terrifying, warranting sentences of death multiple times over if they were caught.

With her exceptional speed-reading ability and memory, Alyssa was a natural fit for a special agent role.

Her talents allowed her to remember every detail after reading a document just once.

When she reached the 11th document, her eyes dimmed.

This document was different from the others; it lacked a photograph where one should have been.
