In Their Own Story
Rain streaks down the motel window, blurring the neon sign across the street. Leticia sits at a small table, surrounded by case files that tell a story no one else is willing to hear. She stares at a photograph of Mahone, her expression hardening as the pieces finally click into place. The badge on her chest feels heavy tonight; it represents justice, but only if she has the courage to wield it against her own people.
Reader's Guide

Initially operating as a cold pursuer, she works alongside Agent Alexander Mahone to track the fugitives across the United States. Her role evolves significantly when she uncovers evidence suggesting that her partner is compromised by a shadowy organization known as The Company. Tang’s real name remains Leticia Tang, with no notable aliases used in the field. Key relationships include a professional partnership with Mahone and a contentious dynamic with Dr. Sara Tancredi, whom she initially arrests before recognizing her innocence.
