Rocky parks the car in front of the Daisy Cafe, being told that Ms. M wanted to see him. As he walks towards the doors however, he notices a familiar black and white cat sitting at the counter talking to her. He walks in, the bell above the door signaling his arrival to everyone in the cafe.

"Ah, there you are Rocky. Have a seat, we have to discuss some business."

Rocky sits down, asking Ivy for a stack of flap jacks to start the day off right.

"You may be wonderin' why Mordecai is here. Well I requested his help with this assignment since your cousin Calvin is still sick. I know you two aren't the best match, but we don't have any other options at the moment. This is a two man job."

Rocky sighs, looking down at the counter. He knows how Mordecai is. Ivy slides him his plate of pancakes, which immediately cheers him up.

"On this here paper are some coordinates. If you dig in that spot, you will find a decent haul to bring back here. It should be about 5 to 6 feet down if I'm not mistaken."

Mordecai groans quietly, not liking the idea of being covered in dirt.

"I can trust you two won't tear each other to shreds, right?"

The two nod, Rocky putting on his usual grin. After Rocky finishes his breakfast, the two walk back outside to the truck, Rocky hopping into the driver's seat. As soon as they were both in the truck, they started off.
