Alright, so they were looking for some sort of handheld device. Not very specific, but Data could work with that. "Good question, Edgar." The boy had some promise in him yet. He'd see if he could maybe get him a junior detective badge for later.
"That's quite helpful. Alright, well, thank you. When we find it, we'll come back here," Data said confidently, as though there was no doubt in his mind that they'd find the thief. He turned to Alexa. "Does a shop like that sound familiar?"
Alexa thought for a moment. Then nodded her head. "Yeah, there's a store with a lot of human electronics not too far away. Do you think we should start there?"
"I want to talk to other witnesses, if there are any. We could maybe find out the direction the perp went. Edgar, Artemis, how do you feel about that?" It felt like the best lead they had, but Data was open to other ideas at the moment. He didn't want to admit it, but his time in his egg did fuzz up some of his detective memories and he was a bit rusty in his skillset.

The Kabuterimon gave a small nod. "Alright then, I'll keep looking myself." With that he went off to look somewhere else to presumably look, probably for the best since the perp would be wary of the guy he stole from. Edgar looked over at Data as he asked him and Artemis, who without Edgar's knowledge had quit flying and slowly descended on top of his head.
"I saw a few things while flying, Wasn't able to see all the city but I did see two green things near the entrance and some shop. Though the route's a bit iffy for me." Artemis added, he seemed to be looking for something green, like his partners hood. but two things didn't sound good.
"It might be best to ask around for a bit, not to diss myself but a green hoodie might stand out, if he's still looking like me it might be for the best." Edgar nodded to himself figuring this was the best course of action, at least it made sense in his head.

Data listened to Artemis's report. Alright, green things sounded promising, as did confirmation of the nearby shop. Now they had to act.
"That's a good point. Let's ask those nearby what they've seen. We can learn more about the perp in that case, just in case we have to fight," Data said, before flying off. Alexa's stomach lurched. There was that thing again - fighting. Did they really have to fight? She wasn't enthused, but she followed Data anyway.
Data flew over to the Flamon. He landed on the grass a few feet away.
"Hey there. Sorry to bother you, but I'm a detective," Data took a moment to flash his badge before continuing, "And we're looking for something that's been stolen. Now this may be a weird question but bare with me - have you seen anyone who looks like this kid?" He put a wing out to indicate Edgar.

Edgar had a similar response to the word fight, after all he didn't want to hurt anyone. "Don't worry, I'm sure we can clear this up, besides it's two on one, we can just bluff em." Artemis responded hopeful, fighting was the last thing he wanted to do also. Both walked over following Data towards the digimon.
He had the same response anyone would when four or more people walked towards him, a bit wary but stood there as Data talked to him. "Detective? We have those?" But he seemed pretty normal when the badge was flashed at him so probably not this guy. "Seen him, well aside from now n, wait a second." He said leaning in closer to Edgar for a moment causing the kid to back up a bit.
"Yeah, I think I've seen him, at least the hood seems familiar, saw him going out of a shop, weirdly enough didn't see him go in though." He pointed out crossing his arms. "Might want to ask them there." He said pointing in the direction of the shop. "Is there anything else Data?" That seemed like a good lead but then again he wasn't a detective.

Alexa smiled at Edgar. He really was mature for his age. She hoped she didn't seem too silly with her reluctance to fight. She knew she'd need to get over that soon rather than later.
"Thank you for your help, citizen," Data said. Alright, that went well. Another lead towards the shop. There was still Kyubimon to ask, but Data was pretty sure that the shop was the place to go next.
"I think we ask the shop. Hope they're still open this late." Data flew ahead to the shop. Alexa sighed and shook her head.
"I'm glad he's so energetic. I just hope he doesn't get us all in trouble," she said. Data was a detective and had probably been though a whole lot before, but Alexa still worried for him. He was her partner, after all. And he'd been killed before for meddling in things.

He gave a small wave off to him. "Eh no problem detective, hope you find your twin kid." Edgar gave a small laugh at this, he really hoped that he wasn't someone's twin, A evil twin though did sound like something out of a cartoon, which was pretty funny to think about.
Edgar gave a small shrug. "I'm sure he won't get in much trouble, he seems to know what he's doing." After all, he didn't know anything about being a detective, though he felt that you needed to be somewhat smart to be one. "I'll go with him," Artemis said about to blast off but held back for a second. "Er actually nevermind, can't leave you guys defenseless," Artemis added that was true they were just humans.
At the shop, it would just be a small shop with some self-made knickknacks, tiny pendants and little toys attended by a ToyAgumon of all things.

Oh gosh, an evil twin? Alexa thought about that. Most evil twins she knew had goatees. Edgar was probably too young to have a goatee, never mind his 'evil twin'. Well, shed keep a lookout for anyone shifty looking with a goatee.
"Thanks for sticking by us. But yeah, I guess he does have detective experience. I just can't help but worry. All the TV shows with detectives have people shooting guns and poison and all sorts of bad things," Alexa explained. She'd even seen a few shows where the detective was killed, or in the line of fire. One even had the detective wrestling his arch enemy and falling over a waterfall. She didn't want that for Data.
Meanwhile, Data knocked on the shop door before entering. It was a nice shop, maybe Alexa would like it and get some more things for her dorm.
"Hey there. Detective Data here. Hope you don't mind if I ask some questions? You're not in trouble, so don't worry. But there was a robbery just near here about a few hours ago. You didn't happen to see someone with a green jacket, did you?"

Edgar simply looked dumbfounded at Alexa. "They do? Though I guess the only ones I've seen are ones for kids so nothing that bad happens in them." This made Edgar's fear go up significantly, he half expected a fight but a gun fight or poison, that was a little too much for the little kid.
"......TV?" Artemis asked confused. "Oh right, I'll tell you about them later Artemis." Edgar forgot to show Artemis all the neat things at home.
The shopkeeper seemed very happy when someone walked in, but then when he stated what he was here for he seemed to lose that slumping back in his chair. "A robbery? Well, I haven't seen anyone in a green jacket but, there is someone suspicious in my closet, they kinda just walked in and refused to come out, they probably came about a few hours ago also, there's a window so maybe they're in there?" He asked before pointing towards the door.
"Feel free to break it down if you need to, I think they took the key in there." If Data did elect to break the door down he'd find something very incriminating inside, basically, Edgar trying to get inside through a window but stuck halfway through.

Alexa nodded. The ones made for kids were fun, but they weren't realistic. Well, maybe the noir shows she watched weren't realistic either. The point was, she was worried, either way.
"Television is where we watch shows. Like fictional stories. Go watch some with Edgar, they're fun," Alexa said. "Also, thanks again for coming with us. I mean, you kind of have to because someone's running around stealing your appearance, but it's still... nice. I kinda feel like I have a friend." Alexa blushed. "Uh, sorry if that's too intense," she said quickly. She hoped she didn't completely embarrass herself. She just really wanted a friend. "Oh look, there's the shop?" She rushed up ahead to go see what Data was up to, and to avoid the awkwardness she'd created.
"In your closet?" Data repeated. Well, that was convenient, if weird. He felt bad for the shopkeeper. Having someone lock themselves in your closet wasn't his idea of a good day.
"Alright. We'll cover the damages," Data said. Having a rich partner was pretty useful. Data attacked the door with his claws, managing to break it down within a minute. He charged through and manged to see 'Edgar' trying to wiggle his way through the window.
"Oh no you don't!"
Data grabbed onto 'Edgar's legs with his claws and pulled him towards the shop, hoping to pop him out of the window and finally get some answers.

Edgar gave a small shrug, after all, he did need to find the guy but that was only after he met up with Alexa and Data. But then she mentioned something about being a friend. That gave Edgar slight pause, not because he was against the idea but because he never had a friend, aside from his sister he never had someone else to be a friend to him, and this was another person who was older than him, maybe he just couldn't get along with kids his age?
"Yeah, we're all friends, Having friends is nice," Artemis added telepathically, so Alexa couldn't run from his friendship. Edgar would have added to that but Alexa had already gone on ahead. To he followed quickly after.
The look-alike was grabbed by Data, quickly trying to get him off, before he reached over to his side holding what seemed to be a bomb and threw it in the face of Data, which would then explode for a low amount of damage If that made Data let go the force would cause him to fall out of the window the other way. Before he made a quick exit as the Edgar form slowly seemed to fade away.
Though the only exit from the back of the store was right in front of the entrance. Revealing his true form as a Tyumon.

It would be hard for anyone to see while she was running, but Alexa was smiling after she heard Artemis's telepathic reply. It quickly turned to a frown when they got to the shop. The door was smashed open, and she could just see Data grabbing at something.
And then something exploded. Data was tossed backwards into the shop. Alexa rushed forward and caught him. He didn't seem too hurt, but he was shaken.
"I'm fine," he said, though he was covered in dust and shivering. "I've dealt with worse. Go catch that mouse!"
Hoping the perp hadn't run away be then, Alexa got up and rushed to the entrance to try and stop the critter from fleeing.
"Artemis, Edgar, follow or corner that Tyumon," Data said as they went outside. It was a bit weird to see the little digimon barking orders, but he had a perp to catch, and there was no time to waste!

The shopkeeper had gotten up from his seat looking over at the closet. "Was it the perp?" He asked looking at the detective on the ground for a moment. "Probably, er thanks for getting him out, don't worry about the damages I'm just happy I can write it up to my insurance." Technically speaking he didn't break the door down himself it was due to a case, go him.
Artemis and Edgar just nodded as they looked over at the weird looking mouse Digimon, he did seem to have something in his hands, and something in the other hand as well. But they weren't able to get a good look as he started running away, really fast also. "Stop thief," Edgar shouted as he started running after him, Artemis flew after also.
Except Artemis had a plan, while flying telepathically he shouted. "He's over there on your right!" Right into the mind of the mouse, scared he didn't even bother to check before running over to his left, right into a dead end, which Edgar and Artemis quickly covered. Artemis holding his bow in the air ready to attack and Edgar just kinda there. to block the way.

"Yep. That was the perp," Data said, finally getting his breath back. "Yeah, that's fair." Data flew out of Alexa's hands to check on Edgar and Artemis. Alexa followed after.
It looked like the duo managed to trap the mouse. Data flew closer, but not so close as to get bombed in the face again.
"Careful. This one throws small bombs," he warned everyone, before addressing the Tyumon. "Alright. You're trapped. Give us the thing you stole."
Alexa stood to the side of Edgar, watching everything go down. For their first detective case, this seemed to wrap up pretty well. Hopefully there would be no more surprises or shenanigans.

Artemis nodded going closer also, he held his hand up creating one of his bows of light, just in case he had to use it. "He's right, just hand it over," Artemis repeated trying to sound threatening, he didn't really but it was enough.
"I, er I h-have no idea what you're talking about and shame on you for assuming I d-" Artemis took a step forward causing the digimon to flinch, he didn't seem to have another bomb, a ready one at least. "Ok, Ok fine, just take it. Stupid thing doesn't even work right." The digimon said throwing the device and key over.
The device itself was something a bit shocking, it was a tamers digivice, with a crack down the screen and a blue grip. Artemis took a look at it picking it up with his stubby hands.
"How did you change your shape to look like me?" Edgar pondered, the Digimon simply sighed bringing out a disc. "You see this, it's a Holo-suit, it lets a digimon take the form of someone or something else." He said tossing the disc over as well. "That's it right? Can I go now?" He asked scared out of his mind.

Data smiled at Artemis. He was good backup. Much better than some other partners he'd had in the past. He turned back to Tyumon, who thankfully seemed to have given up after a bit of help from Artemis.
It was a digivice? Interesting, and unexpected. It seemed weird the Kabuterimon had it at all. How did it pick that up? Maybe there was a story involved, likely quite a sad one. Data understood that certain questions didn't need to be asked. What was important was that they got the goods.
"I actually have a holo-suit too. Never thought of taking someone else's looks. But I guess that's something we got to watch out for from now on," Data said. Alexa caught the key and disc. "I could take you to the police station, you know. But you seem young, kind of stupid. Promise you won't cause trouble again, and I'll let you off with a warning," Data said.
Alexa knew that Data didn't exactly have ties to the police anymore, so he was kind of bluffing, but he said it with enough confidence that most people could be fooled.
