Makoto unlocked the car, approached the dug-in Hayate and grabbed him by the burned forearms once again. She pulled him into the back seat, and almost threw him onto the leather seats. "I don't own this car, so the person in charge will have do deal with the kid's mess. I'll lock him in the trunk if he decides to make the back seat his toilet." She hopped into the driver's seat, and started the engine.

She stared at the steering wheel for a moment, thinking of the reason she became a Skull Hunter in the first place. No particular reason. she thought to herself. I intended on looking for my missing sisters using the databases the Hunters and the Police have...but they all have nothing. I wonder if they actually made it to the States. I guess I'll contact my friend to see if he's heard of anything.

Makoto broke away from her thoughts and focused on the parking lot in front of her, getting ready to drive to the Police HQ, and at the same time, thinking about driving to the Hunter HQ instead. "Surprise you? Heh. Just hope the next one doesn't put you in the ER."
