Had the requisite three PCs, so that part went well. Some quick thoughts:
Having PCs get to know each other when they're all in a job for various dubious reasons never quite works. Gar tried, though.
The PCs are pretty well-made, in terms of diversity, for dealing with many problems.
Mya turned out a bit odd. She genuinely cares for Merlyn, but finds the idea the boy might be lonely to be surprising, having never consciously considered that. The police know of her, according to Constable Rogers, as "the crazy woman" for reasons not yet specified. She tends to talk formally, not notice when she is being patronized, and is very keen to protect Merlyn, even going as far as finding files in the basement.
The filing and bureaucracy aspect does come from actual policing. To an extent, it's a fail-safe to prevent future scrutiny. In most police forces it's gone further than that -- in the UK, modern tech. is being used to reduce the amount of time spent per shift on paperwork to 1.5 hours. This is the reduced rate on an eight-hour shift. Factor in the PCs making to do paperwork for the police and FBI and things get more than staggering and verge into Paranoia-level absurdity. Shall be fun :)
And, as an added bonus, PCs who miss a session will spend the entire time doing paperwork instead.
