First Kiss with the Sizzling Succubus!! Hooked.
With so much viable prey around, how's a girl to keep track of the ones she really wants? Smudging a little bit of your makeup onto them to mark your territory is probably a good start.
(You don't actually have to kiss the target. Sometimes that's weird. You can just smear this mark onto their collar with your thumb if you want.)
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach.
Your target is marked with a smear of lipgloss. The mark can be easily removed if it is discovered.
You are aware of the marked target's direction and distance from you. This lasts for the next month, or until either the mark is removed, or you choose to end the Effect. You can have up to 3 marks active.
You receive +2 dice to any rolls made against a marked target.
- Marked individuals satisfy the line of sight requirement for targeted Effects.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Perfect Tracker
"Everyone has their own scent."
Ally can spend a moment to memorize someone's scent. With it, she can follow them anywhere on this world. Even on the wind she can smell their sweat, their panic.
However, scrubbing their body with soap and water is enough to remove the oils that permeate the air, and shake Ally's tracking.

Follow The Money
No, I have to do this my way. You tell me what you know, and I'll confirm. I'll keep you in the right direction if I can, but that's all. Just... follow the money. - Deep Throat, in All The President's Men (1976)
Through clever sleight of hand, or through a simple financial transaction, Bill places a coin on his target's person - could be a quarter, could be a penny, whatever he has on hand - and will be able to detect the how far away the coin is, as well as in which direction. It feels slightly warm to the touch, as if it had been sitting in a hot car earlier that day, and if anyone looks closely at it, the eyes of Mr. Lincoln (or Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and occasionally Kennedy) seem to follow them, like a painting in an episode of Scooby Doo.

Poker Fish
“If you've been playing poker for a half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.“
Like cards, Chance marks a target to keep track of. The card shark needs to find his fish, after all. Once a target is chosen, he reflectively does a bit of sleight-of-hand, mimicking the motions of applying juice daub onto a card, then it's hook, line and sinker, as images of where the targets are fill his head.

Unfinished Business
