Covert ops has its perks. You travel, make your own hours and expense most of your meals. The downside? Lots of people want you dead.

People don't trust information they get for free. If you wanna sell someone on a lie, you have to make them drag it out of you. It's effective, but often painful.

In certain neighborhoods, posing as a dirty cop is a great way to confiscate information. It gives you the authority that comes with a badge, and invokes the fear that comes with being a criminal.

Like good defense attorneys, spies know the facts don't always matter as much as how you sell them. Only when lawyers lose a case, they get an appeal. When spies lose a case, they get a shallow grave.

For any operative, stashing weapons is second nature after a while. Spies hide guns like squirrels hide acorns. You never know when you'll need some firepower, or where you'll be when you need it.

Once the cops pick up a call on a flagged cell, they triangulate its location. From there, they organize and deploy units - a process that can take ten minutes, give or take. Bad guys don't have that chain of command. They can be anywhere as fast as their wheels can take them.

Hydraulic arms are safety features that slow the speed a door can close to minimize injury. But wrap a belt around them, and they can be turned into an improvised lock.

When you want to turn someone into an asset, get him to betray the people he loves, you have to get to know him. You need to know his frustrations, you need to know how he spends his time and money, you need to know his hopes and dreams.

In the adrenaline rush of a high-stress situation, you tend to miss details. But it's the little things that make all the difference.

As a spy, it doesn't matter if you're helping rebel forces fight off a dictator, or giving combat tips to a third-grader. There's nothing like helping the little guy kick some bully's ass.
