Eliot has an eye for details. Tactical awareness is the difference between success and failure, between life and death. But it isn't just about exits in a building or the number of hostiles in an area. It's about watching for change.
Nate likes to dose his morning coffee with a shot of Johnnie Walker Red. The man has more sample bottles of Jim Beam stashed away than a whole floor's worth of hotel mini-bars.
But with every job, Nate's eyes grow clearer and clearer. Eliot knows the difference between hiding better and getting better.
There's hope for Nathan Ford yet.
