Lying and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Class #5

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod was sunburned, but relaxed, as he stood in front of the class. "Hello. So, you're trying to find someone, and their trail has gone cold. Or, you're running a con, and you need to make sure you don't get caught. So, what else do you need? You need friends. Or, if not friends, confederates who won't be bought--because you have common interests, or loyalty, or they owe you a favor, or whatever."

"So, today's project is to make a list of people you would look for, if you wanted to find a missing person, or a list of people you might want to make friends with if you wanted to protect yourself. Then, I want you to explain how you would go about doing that."

He yawned. "Excuse me. Anyway, that's a short class assignment, but be prepared for next week--I'm going to want you to have an idea in mind of what kind of character you'd want to be, and next week, you'll be learning how to dress the part."

Jack leaned one elbow on the desk and his head on his hand, and started work on the assignment.

The list of who he'd make friends with, and how he'd make it happen, didn't take long. Some of them he'd actually used.

The list of who he'd look for was a lot harder - except for the person at the top of the list. That one was just obvious. But he finally managed something he was happy with, handed it in, then folded his arms on the desk, rested his chin on top of them, and relaxed, waiting for class to finish.
