Detective Padgett

Smiling made him look even younger. If he hadn't been nearly Dolph's height, he'd have had real trouble with being authoritative. But a lot people mistake height for in charge. I've struggled against the opposite reaction most of my life."

Title Detective
Description Tall and lanky with a head full of dark curls. He has huge blue eyes and looks too young for his age, though he is over six feet tall.
Commentary * Padgett is a good cop, according to Dolph.

* Padgett is a psychic - he makes Anita's hand tingle when he shakes it.

* He is very much afraid of the lycanthropes because he gets a tingly feeling across his skin when they are near. Anita notes he is sensing their aura and suggests that he join RPIT, but he shows his true colors by calling them freaks.

* He is in charge a few officers on the scene at the hospital, namely the following:

Murdock Anita chewed him out for standing with his holster unsnapped.
Smith Guard on duty inside Stephen & Nathaniel's room. He appreciates the lycanthropes, unlike Padgett
Crossman The cop who was shot and could have been killed if Lorraine's actions hadn't saved him. He has a wife and two daughters.
