It was sloppy and late, and it wouldn't fool Rex. He'd know the documents weren't there when he looked for them earlier, but he'd have a hard time proving that. Which meant he'd be discredited if he brought it up to anyone in his department. That was sad. I didn't like hurting his career. I'd done that to other people before. A few of the people I'd turned to give me information—their careers were damaged when I'd left that country. But I didn't care then. All I'd cared about was getting sensitive information out of them and using it to my country's advantage. I wondered how many people were ruined because of me. It was all just part of the job—I knew that. And some of them were either bad guys or spies themselves. But what about the others? The businessmen, the secretaries to important officials, the people who had to stay behind when I left. The people who had to keep hidden what they'd done. The people who would be punished if they were ever found out. What happened to them? Some may have lost their jobs.
