A/N: Follow-up. May turn into a trio.
It was an hour later and Izzy and Cody were no closer to mastering any aspect of this game. Izzy was beginning to feel very stupid, and Cody had suggested calling Ken for help.
Then their digigears buzzed. "Guys, I found them!"
Both jumped and tuned into the caller. "That's great Joe!" Cody exclaimed. "Where were they?"
Joe replied with a slightly pathetic chuckle.
"In my closet. In a large cardboard box filled with folders and labeled, 'Joe's Old Notes, Potentially Important'. In my handwriting. With a duct tape label."
Cody and Izzy looked at each other, and began laughing.
"Didn't you say you usually put old notes in your filing cabinet?" Cody smiled, dropping the mahjong tile on the board.
"Yeah… apparently it was really full and I thought the potentially important ones should be kept separate."
"In your closet," Izzy said.
"In my closet."
"Good job."
"Thanks. Any luck on your end?"
Izzy let out a frustrated groan, while Cody sighed, rubbing his temples.
"Not so much."
"We're about to call Ken for help."
"He's with Yolei and their partners out at Miro today," Joe said helpfully. "I think it might have been a date. They aren't coming back until tomorrow."
Izzy found that he somehow didn't care. He was a little too irritated at this game.
"Mission takes higher priority over date," he stated firmly. "I'm calling him."
