A PREFERENCE FOR SHADOWS.

The article, titled "A PREFERENCE FOR SHADOWS," follows the story of Tina, a former assassin who is approached by an FBI agent named Willard Wright. Willard offers Tina a chance to join a covert team to prevent a congressman from leaking sensitive information. Initially skeptical, Tina decides to investigate further with the help of her former teammate, Manny. The article ends with Tina arranging a meeting with an IT specialist recommended by Manny to gather more information. Tina discovers that the congressman is not a security threat but rather had a relationship with Willard's sister, leading to her suicide. Tina confronts Willard and they strike a deal to expose the congressman instead. Tina stages Willard's death as a break-in gone wrong and contacts her IT friend, Simon, to delete certain files and distribute incriminating documents about the congressman to reporters. Tina realizes that Simon could be a valuable asset for her future endeavors. [Extracted from the article]
