This candy fell out of the hands of a defeated Longbow infiltrator in a story you like to call:
There's a Sucker Born Every Minute
It all started when your contact, Willie 'Dealer' Wheeler, called you up about a big problem. it seems most of Willy's jobs have originated from a source who has recently been taken captive by Arachnos forces. Willy losing his source meant no more jobs for you, so you decided to free Willy's source, a man known as Ace McKnight.
McKnight wanted Willy to find someone to take out the Arachnos agent that was coming after him - which was where you came in. Attacking the Arachnos base, it was discovered McKnight was actually a Longbow agent that Arachnos had been tracking for months. Worst of all, Arachnos thought you were in league with Longbow as well!
Willy Wheeler pleaded with you not to go after McKnight, because interrogation of the Longbow agent would reveal Willy as the dupe who had been unwittingly setting up all these jobs for Longbow.
Break Ace McKnight out of the Arachnos base
Briefing
We got some trouble, Character! You know I've gotten a lot of great jobs for you in the past, right? Well, I've been getting them from this guy called Ace McKnight who just got nabbed by Arachnos! We need to get 'im out, or your jobs and my livelihood are history!
Please, Character, I'm beggin' ya! Break Ace McKnight out of the Arachnos base!
Mission Acceptance
You gotta get 'im free, Character! I'm countin' on ya!
Unnecessary Solicitation
C'mon, Character, quit messin' around! You know how important this is!

Debriefing
You got McKnight out? Perfect, perfect! With McKnight out, we'll be set up with some excellent jobs again soon! We're gonna do it, Character - we're gonna make the big time!
Defeat Operative Dominic and witnesses
Briefing
You did an awesome job springin' McKnight from that Arachnos base. I guess a guy like McKnight knows secrets even Arachnos doesn't want getting out, eh?
McKnight gave me another hot tip if you're up for it. He found out who it was in Arachnos that's got it in for him, and wants him taken out. Invade the Arachnos and take out Arachnos Agent Dominic.
Mission Acceptance
McKnight said this could mean big things for both of us, Character.

McKnight is a Longbow agent? N-no! this can't be! You must be lying!
P-please! Don't tell Arachnos that I'm the one that's been doing jobs for McKnight! They'll come after me!
Notes
- The Debriefing sounds like if there would be a Clue somewhere in this mission: there is not, and the only clue linking McKnight with Longbow is the aggro message of Operative Dominic.
Capture McKnight
Briefing
I screwed up bad, Character - real bad. Arachnos agents have already been snoopin' around here, askin' questions, tryin' to find that Longbow Agent McKnight. They don't know I was involved, at least not yet.
They think they've tracked down McKnight to a warehouse they suspect has been converted to a temporary Longbow base! The problem is, if they capture McKnight, I'll be exposed as the McKnight's pawn! I'll be ruined, ya hear me? Ruined! Sure, you might get off the Arachnos radar, but I'm screwed!
Mission Acceptance
P-please don't do this to me! If you do I'll have no future in the Rogue Isles!
Besides! McKnight is WAY too tough for you to take alone!
Unnecessary Solicitation
M-maybe you've reconsidered? Let McKnight go free and preserve my rep!
Mission Objective(s)
It looks like Arachnos has started their assault on the warehouse. Find McKnight and make him pay!
- Capture McKnight, defeat his allies
You captured Ace McKnight!

Debriefing
N-no! When Arachnos interrogates McKnight, they'll found out he's been working through me!
You ruined me, Character! Who's gonna trust ol' Willy Wheeler now? Get away from me! Just go away!
