Item 1

Spies are, by nature and necessity, pathological liars who strive to make their endgames justify their meanness.

Item 2

There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'.

Item 3

Writing about magic is harder than writing about spies because you're dealing with something that doesn't really exist.

Item 4

The report also said I show great potential as an agent. I figure they must be right, since I successfully broke into a safe to find that out.
