Not knowing what else to do and lacking any lead on Roland, or the other Skull Gang locations, Makoto decided to finally visit the Skull Headquarters. She waved down an approaching taxi, and stepped into the back seat.

"Take me to the Skull Headquarters, please." Makoto asked in a quiet, polite tone.
"Wh-wh-what?! Why do you want to go there? The taxi driver started to panic.
Makoto leaned in towards the driver seat, and handed the driver a roll of money, more than enough to cover the trip to the Headquarters. "You know where it is, right?" The driver stayed quiet for a few seconds.
"...Okay, fine. I'll take you there."

The taxi began to move, and Makoto smiled as she leaned back on the seat. "Thank you, sir."
