[ WP ] Assassination is a new legal tool in the business world . You are an old-school hitman , and despair at the quality of work some of these new recruits are leaving behind .

`` What the fuck is this?!'' I screamed, as I marched down the hall, pistol free from its holster, `` Here we are, standing on *one of the last* 17th century Persian rugs in the entire fucking world, and you manage to murder not one, no, not two, but *three* people on it!'' 
 
 My apprentices did a quick floor and ceiling inspection as I paced around the room, my weapon drawn. The damage done was absolutely abhorrent, just to the carpet alone, to say nothing of the millions of dollars worth of furnishings. 
 
 `` All I asked for-'' I muttered, `` all I asked for was the death of one businessman, and not even one of the highly successful ones! Jesus H Christ, you'd think that at least one of you would be a competent corporate assassin by now, but no! This is the sort of shit I'd expect from a lowly thug! Not *highly* trained, black ops hitmen! Do we seriously have to go back to basics?'' 
 
 My apprentices continued their thorough inspection of the ornate ceiling pattern and the ruined 17th century Persian rug. None of them volunteered, so I pointed my gun at my youngest apprentice, `` Good thing you lot already destroyed the decor. Another body wo n't hurt the place too much. Why do we preserve assets?'' 
 
 His gaze snapped down from the priceless crown moulding, `` We preserve assets to levy them against outstanding liabilities.'' 
 
 I raised an eyebrow in mild shock and lowered my weapon. `` Wow, I did n't know you had it in you. What sort of liabilities?'' 
 
 `` Tax liabilities.'' 
 
 I smiled a wry smile, full of cynicism and a bit of wrath. `` Correct. That's our job as IRS agents, so I expect the *next* job to go a bit more smoothly.''
