Word with double or free

Answer:

AGENT

Hint:

Think of someone who might work undercover or represent a company, often seen in spy movies or real estate deals.

Explanation:

The clue plays on the word "double" as in a spy working undercover—an agent often operates with a double identity. "Free" hints at "free agent," a term used in sports or business for someone not tied to a single employer. Together, they point to "agent," which fits both interpretations neatly.
