"Ever seen a moth drawn to a flame, my friend? That's opportunity knocking..."
Ohhh I see….. so what’s the catch?
"Ah, you've caught me red-handed! There is always a catch, isn't there?"
chuckles well yes, obviously. Any smart person knows there’s always a catch. So how much do I owe you after I’m done with it?
"Oh, we can settle that later. For now, think of this as an investment in your future."
"Very well then, my dear friend. Let us shake on it, and remember, a handshake is as good as a signature."
Sure thing…. shakes his hand
"Ah, a smooth transaction. I must say, I have a keen eye for talent, and you have plenty to offer. I'll make sure you're rewarded handsomely."
Alright! What do you want first?
"First, I want you to know that I have great power, and I'm willing to share it with someone as talented as yourself."
"Here's the deal. You help me gather some valuable information, and in return, I'll grant you unimaginable wealth and influence."
Sure why not. Whats the information?
"We need access to the high-security vault in the heart of the city. It's heavily guarded, but with the right information, we could crack it open."
Hmm….. sure that shouldn’t be too hard
"Ah, but it won't be easy, my friend. The vault is guarded by some of the best security experts in the city. We need their blueprints, their passwords, everything."
Sure thing…..how exactly am I going to get all that information?
"You see, my dear friend, I have a network of informants across the city. They feed me information, secrets, and desires.
Niceeee. So then I just have to find them and ask?
"Oh, if only it were that simple. These informants are scattered, elusive. They don't trust easily, and they certainly won't spill their secrets so lightly."
Well thats fine….. I’m willing to take on this task and I’ll do it before the deadline.
"Ah, but there's one more thing, my dear friend. The informants are notorious for their cunning and trickery. They won't give up their secrets easily.
"So, my dear friend, you see the challenge ahead. But fear not, for I have a plan. We will lure them out into the open, using a clever ruse.
Oooooh sounds like fun. What kind of ruse?
"Ah, my eager apprentice, we shall create a tantalizing mystery, a puzzle that only the most cunning can solve. A code, hidden within a cryptic message.
Sweet…..what does the message say?
"Ah, now that would spoil all the fun, wouldn't it? The message must be a surprise, something to pique their curiosity and draw them in.
