Guardian or Invader

Write about an undercover operative who starts to feel more loyalty to the group they infiltrated than to the agency that assigned them.

It is not uncommon for people to form bonds with those they spend a significant time with even if the original intent was investigative. Through this topic, explore how the undercover agent’s allegiances shift, how do they deal with it? Do they decide to turn against their own agency or remain loyal? This prompts the writer to consider the themes of loyalty, identity, conflicting feelings and moral ambiguity.
