It was in single digits today with the wind chill factor. I had on my long coat, my knit hat, and my turtleneck sweater unrolled up covering my mouth and nose. Only my eyes were visible. A man and a woman chatted on the corner as we waited for the light to change. I could tell from their all-black suits and dapper black shoes that they were FBI agents.

I narrowed my eyes at him, partly from the searing cold, but partly because I felt I could be undercover in my outfit. I wanted him to feel like I could possibly be spying on him, and I'd be letting my people know where he'd be working that day…

Winter seems to be the perfect season for DC pretend espionage.
