I wish you well, Nike. Sounds like this story could have many interesting plots to choose from. Best wishes. .... Mark.

Shame on me, Nike. Just saw this question today.

I would imagin thatmost "skip tracers" would be licensed private investigators, who do this as part of their services. In many states, a private investigator's license does not mean the license comes with a concealed weapons permit. Usually, this is a seperate issue and license, that entails qualifying with the firearms, classes, etc.

If they do find a skip, they should contact the police to take custody. However, it the crook has violated bond and has warrants, the locater can make a citizen's arrest and then contact the police. With runway teens, they could hold on to them until the police arrive (if a runaway report has been filed) or hold onto them until social services/legal guardians can respond.

Hope this helps.

I plotted REVENGE out beforehand, at least the basic plot line, breaking scenes down by chapter. In my current WIP, OFF THE GRID, I'm using a basic outline, but allowing the characters to surprise me chapter by chapter.

Just launched my first eBook novel, REVENGE: A Travis Mays Novel, on February 11, 2011. (It is available through Amazon's Kindle and B&N's Nook, although all other eReader formats may now be available through Smashwords).

I'd love the hear from readers about the good, the bad, and anything else related to this novel. Any questions about research will be answered as time allows. Thanks for joining me. Fire away.
