Could it be 'express' as in 'express train', which might have sleeper carriages on it? Thus: express (sleeper train) tears over (runs along/travels at speed) one secret agent (sleeper).

sleeper as in track.

An express train tears (moves rapidly) over SLEEPERS, so it tears over one SLEEPER, which is also a secret agent. This same clue was on Answerbank a few weeks ago.
