Hello, this topic may have been solved already, but I can't seem to find the answer so I'm sorry if it's a duplicate. (I'm also sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.... not used to forums)
I went to Corey's gym before I did the missing police officer mission, and the back door was open, without me having to do the puzzle. At the time I didn't even know it was a puzzle. Any whosies, when I go into the back room, Corey isn't there. I accidentally skipped over the missing police officer mission in Beryl Ward, until after I had defeated zEL and Taka. I'm not sure if that's the cause (or even a problem to begin with).
So I went about my business, did the missing police officer mission, came back to Corey's gym, and the door to the back is still open, and he's still not there. And even when I did the puzzle to turn the switches blue, it didn't change anything. He's still not there.
I've checked out some threads, and an updated walkthrough, but it looks like everywhere I go, people did the police officer thing at the same time as they were saving Beryl Ward, it triggered a scene I didn't see (where the Police chief is unmasking the third bad guy that battled Heather), in my game. Instead I just saw a scene with Heather whining about wanting to run away.
I'm just unsure if I maybe caused a problem in my game, or if I'm missing something. I've checked the power plant, the graveyard, back tracked, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you~
