WHO: Derek Matthews and Tatsuo Kihara
WHERE: Recolle Library
WHEN: April 11-13
WHAT: Quest for Zee
WARNINGS: N/A

It was five minutes until the end of their shifts at the lab, and Derek and Tatsuo were tidying up their respective areas. Tatsuo had plans to head to the gun range and, as he finished organizing the files he still needed to work on the next day, he considered inviting Derek along. It'd been a while since they went to the range together.

After locking the files in his desk, Tatsuo logs off his workstation and reaches for his jacket. As he does so, his phone vibrates on his desk, at the exact same time Derek's vibrates over on his desk. Tatsuo glances over at Derek's phone, then picks his own up, wondering who was texting them both. Could be any number of people. Matt, Foggy, Jirou, maybe Togusa... okay maybe the list isn't that long.

However, the person who sent him the text was not on that list.

Man you guys are kind of nosy, aren't you? No idea what you're digging for, but I admire your work ethic. How would you like to take on a small project for us? You can even stay in the city for this one.

Tatsuo lets out a small, surprised, "huh," then holds up his phone as he turns to face Derek.

"Did you get the same text I just got?"

[Fifteen minutes later Derek is back with the coffee and a small bag.]

Here, I brought the coffee and...

[Derek holds out the small bag with a flourish.]

I bought you a blue berry muffin. The brownie is mine.

[Tatsuo narrows his eyes at Derek, but takes the bag and pulls out his blueberry muffin]

I forgive you. This time.

[Derek smiles at Tatuo's reaction.]

That's the spirit!

[He then takes his own coffee and baked good to another part of the room.]

OK, I'm going to find out what's over here, and we can just move things around by type of... what ever is in the boxes and then we can do from there.

[Three cups of coffee and a variety of baked goods later, Tatsuo shoves the last box into place. His jacket is draped over a filing cabinet and his shirt sleeves are rolled up to his elbows. He's dusty and sweaty and starting to feel a bit wired from the caffeine, but everything was finally done.]

Please tell me that was the last one.

Re: apr 12

[Derek, is likewise in a similar state as Tatsuo. The sleeves of his shirt are rolled up and his tie around his neck is hanging loosely around his neck. His hair has broken loose from the gel and there is sweat running down his neck.]

I think so. Fuck Retrospec. They need more employees. Do we text Zee back and tell him we're done?

Re: apr 12

Wouldn't hurt.

[Tatsuo takes out his phone and snaps a picture of the now organized storage room.]

All done. Anything else?

[and he sends picture and text to Zee]

[recollecters]

[Well that's rather helpful. There's a pause before there's a text reply.]

That's a lot of help, thanks guys. Take a copy of the newspaper, the diagram and the map. I'm hoping you'll know what to do with them beyond that.

I'm boosting some things otherwise and also mailing you your reward.
