My brain needs a boost. Hopefully someone here can jumpstart it.
By the numbers...
My MC is a private detective. He finds that he has a very large price on his head, which attracts all kinds of nasty attention from all kinds of nasty people. The only problem is that he doesn't do much detecting.
I need a subplot, a case for him to work that would mean enough to him to make him stay put, rather than skip town. Something important enough to make him risk keeping himself in danger rather than duck out.
I was thinking about something along the line of trying to find a witness to a crime in order to exonerate an innocent person, or track down something of importance to a dying man, or something along those lines. Something desperate enough to justify an otherwise illogical action (staying to fight when he's way overmatched by the people who are after him).
Does this all make sense?
Anyway, any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.
