She saw it in my arms and smiled like I\u2019d just brought her a long-lost friend.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it was gone,\u201d she whispered. \u201cI thought it died with Vivian.\u201d<\/p>\n
I sat down, placed the box in her lap. \u201cAunt Mae\u2026 what is this?\u201d<\/p>\n
She ran a finger along the edges of the photo. \u201cIt was never just me and one sister, dear. \u2018Sister\u2019 meant something else.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked at me, eyes clear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were the Veritas Unit. Five women, one goal. Expose lies. Not with guns, but with proof.\u201d<\/p>\n
It sounded wild. Unreal. But the box was real, and so was the weight in her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were never official,\u201d she said. \u201cNever in the books. But during the war, there were things that couldn\u2019t go through channels. Truths that needed leaking. Secrets that saved lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
I blinked. \u201cYou were spies?\u201d<\/p>\n
