Asset Skillset

As an intelligence officer, I managed to get a rep for establishing assets consistently. Most of the time, we don't break into a location and take what we want, we convince someone else who can walk in to bring it to us instead.


My secret was being able to work out what people wanted. Money, revenge, pride, sex, whatever it was they wanted, I could work it out and give them just enough to do what I wanted.


But the problem was, eventually, what someone wants is to betray you.


And spotting that is, unfortunately, a very different skill set.
