Who could be the most crucial and effective member of a group of high-class, sophisticated, cocktail-sipping, calling-card-leaving criminals? The person who pulls the team together? Nope… The computer hacker/software expert? No again… The little guy who goofs around and almost ruins things, but then comes good at the end? Heck no… The bimbo who mesmerises the guards? Nuh-uh… The intelligence-challenged steroid-filled strong man with a single-syllable vocabulary? Way off… The eccentric but brilliant scientist with a test tube in one hand and a stool sample in the other? Come on – be serious!!… Okay I can see I’m going to have to give you a clue: I’ve made him out of playdough, and he’s pictured above.
That’s right – the most powerful contribution could come from the theologian (an evil theologian, admittedly). Because the theologian is able to share this insight: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be.” And so the theologian is able to set the strategy for the group: Capture people’s hearts, and they’ll line up to give you their treasures… no safe-cracker required.
Hmmm… if only this sort of thing were pure fiction…
