Yeah, I think I could work the Nephilim, maybe, into a P.I. The same girl could be a jogging buddy, too. She'd probably try to talk him into yoga, as well, haha. It will probably be easier to give them things in common once I've fleshed one or both of them out.
I'm going to say Bastian will be trying to either bribe the good Sheriff or win him to his side while sending him on wild goose chases and keeping him off the trail.
