Chapter Text

 

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

John F. Kennedy

Kate Harrow had been through a lot in her life. From losing her parents as a teen to helping raise her younger sister, Jane, with her aunt and uncle, she never allowed herself to grieve properly for her family. It was even more suspicious when everyone said it was a simple home invasion. But she and her sister knew what they saw, and nothing was taken. Their parents were targeted, and they had to know why. Going to Harvard when she was fifteen in 1961 for Mathematics, Psychology, and Linguistics, Kate was trying to make herself appealing for the CIA to recruit during the midst of the Vietnam War.

Offered a position in 1965 during her graduating year, she accepted and started her training as an agent of the CIA. Her skills earned her praise from her superiors, and she was soon attached to MACV-SOG in 1967 where she met Russell Adler, Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson. Rotating between the two teams, she quickly gained their respect because of her intelligence and resourcefulness. And feelings soon join the game.

A story of intrigue, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between comrades, follow Kate on a thrilling journey through a world of secrets and sacrifices as the world hangs in the balance.
