Literally Just A Pebble

Basically, after the events of the movie, the whole story about how Colt managed to do all this detective work while a bunch of people are actively trying to kill him gets around in the movie industry to the point that essentially everyone is convinced he’s a genius. (He is, but he’d never believe it.)

One day, someone in the industry really needs to track someone down. It could be a personal thing, it could be another Tom Ryder situation (minus the framing) where an actor is off on a bender and they want to keep it on the down low. Regardless, someone needs to be found, and they get the idea to ask Colt to do it.

So Colt is having a normal day when some big movie person shows up at set with a boatload of cash and is begging him to find this person. At first he’s like, “Uhhh no? I would rather never do that again actually. Also I have a job?? I’m busy??”

Then the person offers him even more money, like a frankly ridiculous amount of money. Like so much money that it would be insane to refuse it. So Colt is like, “You know what? Fine, just this once.” And because this isn’t a secret plot to murder him he tracks this person down in like a couple hours and brings them back. Then he goes home to Jody with a crap ton of money.

He expains it to her, and she kind of panics at first, but after hearing how mundane it actually was without the murder plot she calms down, and is like, “I actually kinda get where they’re coming from. You are really good at this.”

Cue Colt refusing to acknowledge that. “Anyway! It’s not like this will ever happen again,” Colt says. “It was just a one off crazy person with way too much money and a big imagination.”

It is not one off.

Word gets out that Colt did this job, then suddenly people keep showing up asking him to track people down. After a few months of this, he’s done it like five or six times, and deep down he’s really starting to enjoy it. One day Jody is like, “If this is gonna keep happening we need to set up a proper business.”

Cue Colt becoming a proper private detective/bounty hunter on the side.

Also in the tv show Colt has exatensivly studied laws surrounding citizen arrests and bounty hunting to make sure he doesn’t go to jail, so movie Colt will also end up doing this. Probably because Jody will force him to.

Anyway, this is a long winded way to say that Colt accidentally starts moonlighting as a bounty hunter and it’s awesome.

This could be extra fun if you throw the coltland twins, or coltlandgentry siblings in there.

Like lalala I’m Colt I’m trying to find some guy that owes someone money- BOOM. Dead older brother appears out of nowhere holding a giant gun, looking for the same guy. He is also a bounty hunter but a litttlleeee different. Huh. Crazy. 🧍Shenanigans insue
