Katniss Everdeen volunteers as tribute to don a fake russian accent and play out a slow, septuple-crossing KGB spy drama.
An American tells her to defect, she says "yeah, alright," and she defects. Her bosses are pretty sure she defected, so they beat her with sticks and liquify her roommate. They let her go, though, and she continues defecting.
You can just listen to The Bagman's Gambit by The Decemberists, save about 2 hours and 15 minutes, and still get a better spy story.
