He has taken under his wing a gumshoe to nurture until he is ready to fly on his own. And of course the hunt to find this escaped good guy, the one who is running from the bad guys, is complicated by the hotshot desk - job agent who was assigned to the case. Oh, and all the people of small-town America have the stupidity required to hold residence in these towns. They are also always...
