Undercover Quote by Anna Jarzab
““When you’re deep undercover like that, you learn pretty quickly that facts aren’t people. They’re just facts. That’s what makes what you’re doing–what I did–so difficult. Friends, family…they can just tell when something’s not right, even if they never figure out why.””
