"For now, you'll be kind of like a neighbourhood watch." He visibly hesitated before speaking again. "Okay, I'll admit it. I know a bit more than I should about the gig because I have a friend in it. He tells me how they screen for people by seeing how they do without orders first. You want the job, then you'll do what you do best - stopping stuff that's wrong whenever you can." Another half-truth to help his bluff. "But as I was saying, neighbourhood watch. Show them that you're down for the job by protecting innocent people, and you'll get a reputation that gets you through screening. Don't do anything, and then the nice gifts I give you get deactivated."
