Im not exactly an authority on The Hallows, but I'll take a crack here.
I seem to recall Rachel was in the doghouse so to speak with the IS. Was it ever explained why? Did she piss somebody off? Screw up a run?
Um, I seem to recall that her boss didn't like her, but I can't remember why, or even if it was mentioned.
Also what exactly does a runner do? I always thought they were like a bounty hunter/police officer. Did they handle anything beyond that type of stuff?
That's pretty much it, they're like the cops for the supernatural crowd.
It was mentioned in passing in the first chapter (that I read on Kim's site) that wereing outside specified times was illegal. Is this something that was elaborated on more or was it just a random fact that wasn't mentioned again.
I don't recall it ever being mentioned again. Unless it came up during the whole wolf-statue thing story line and I glazed over it, which since I read all the books back to back is completely possible. :)
Does a runner have to be on a run to have authority? If Rachel saw some witch doing something wrong would she have the authority to stop them?
When she was working with IS, I'd say that as the equivilent of a cop she'd have a duty to stop any crime she witnessed. Once she went private, I think it would be kind of a grey area. She doesn't really have any official authority anymore, except when she is on a case for FIB, and then only what they allow her.
I'd look for examples in the books, but I loaned them out and don't have them right now. In any case, I really, really want to see a Hallows cross, so get to plotting!
