A burning sensation on Makoto's back woke her. The wound on her back throbbed as she shifted her position on the bed. She got up slowly, and gently rubbed her back. Shit. I have to use the pain medicine on my back after I shower... Makoto got out of bed and took a shower. She took some painkillers and massaged the ointment on her back, and wrapped a bandage around her body. She put on a sleeveless shirt and cargo pants, and left her room.

Makoto walked into her kitchen, and sighed at the lack of cooking materials. She turned on the oven, and attempted to make breakfast with the limited amount of materials she had.

Maki pondered Roland's words briefly. There was sound logic behind what he was saying, and she didn't like it. She finished the cold, caffeinated beverage, then scowled as she glanced in the direction of the front door. "You got a back door to this place?" she asked quietly.

[Trakadon]

Roland nodded and stood up. He pointed down the hallway pass the kitchen. "Just head down there and when you get the end just pull down the painting hanging on the wall there and it will open. Just don't tell anyone its there." Roland heard a knock on his front door and turned his attention towards it. "You better get going. I'm not sure who that is and I'd rather you not be here just in case."

Roland walked towards the front door slowly giving Maki some extra time to leave. He gripped the handle of the door and opened and with a sigh. When he opened the door he saw a young girl standing in front of him. "... Hrm..." He scratched his bare chest mumbled slightly. "Who are you?"

[Reyoki]

Maki quickly and quietly made her way to the hidden door, leaving her empty cup in the kitchen on her way. She cursed herself for leaving her boots in the front entryway. Now she would have to either come back to get them or find another pair. The door led out into a forested area behind the house, and that suited her just fine. She sauntered around the woods, mapping out the area in her head. She frowned when her stomach grumbled. "Be quiet, you," she muttered quietly.

After an hour of cooking, Makoto ate her tamagoyaki with steamed rice, and drank down her coffee. She put the leftovers in the fridge and put on her shoulder holster. She checked her handgun's ammo clip, reloaded her gun, and holstered it with three extra clips on the ammo pouches. She threw on her jacket, grabbed a sling bag and put on her boots. She left her apartment, and headed to Jayden and Chloe's apartment.

[Dawn]

Chloe narrows her eyes at Roland when he answers the door, trying to not pay attention that he was in boxers and nothing else, "My name is not your concern, Officer Roland. Let's say I know about you through two mutual contacts, one being a fellow officer and leave the introductions at that. I am only here cause one of those contacts want to know quite a bit about you and I want to know why. And I also want to know if you know anything about her."

The alarm buzzing in his ear woke Jayden up that he ended up falling out of bed. With a groan, he slams down the snooze button and treks down the hallway into the kitchen, finding one of the bowls with milk curdling {seemed King Kong didn't wash his dishes either} and a small pile of papers sitting neatly to the side. Opening up the fridge, Jayden plucks the last two eggs out and drags the frying pan from the cabinet. After cracking both eggs and leaving them to fry, Jayden picks up the pages and shifts through them, noticing a small section had been torn from one of the pages, most likely the address. Sitting the papers back down, he returns back to his breakfast.

[Trakadon]

Roland leaned against the door way. "Oh the mysterious act." He smirked. "What next? Are you going to talk in riddles too?" Shrugging he motioned the girl to come inside. "Well I wont tell you anything out her nor will I tell you anything without knowing your name."

[Dawn]

Chloe raises an eyebrow, "I'm not a damn sphinx you know," she retorts in a cool tone before stepping inside and crossing her arms, "and fine, I know your name so it would be just as proper for you to know mine, it's Chloe."

[Trakadon]

Roland laughed as he let Chloe into his home. "Oh you have no sense of humor." Closing the door behind Chloe, Roland led her towards the living room. "So who is this person who wants to know more about me? Do you have a picture or something?"

[Straywolf]

Makoto passed by the electronics store, and turned the corner to reach Jayden's apartment. She walked up to the porch and lightly knocked on the door.

"Hey, Jayden. It's me. Open up." Makoto took a small step back, and waited for someone to open the door. Hmm. I wonder if he's still sleeping. Don't police officers wake up early for work?

[Dawn]

"Sometimes it doesn't pay to have a sense of humor," Chloe replies drily, following Roland, "And no, I don't. The name I have been given is Makoto, I don't know if that is her real name or not. Through I can give you a description of her if needed."

Jayden had just put the eggs on a plate when he heard what sounded like a light knock and someone calling. Sitting down the plate on the counter before dumping the other bowl into the sink, he hurries down the hallway and unlocks the door. Pulling it open, he sees Makoto there, "Good morning," he greets, "Caught me in the middle of trying to make breakfast. Would you want something to eat as well?"

[Straywolf]

The front door opened, and Makoto was greeted by Jayden. "No thanks, I ate before I got here." She walked into the apartment and took off her boots. As she placed her boots at the doorway, she noticed a missing pair of shoes. "I'm guessing Chloe went out? Did she get what I need?"

[Dawn]

Jayden glances down at the shoes in the hallway, "Looks like she went out but just cause her shoes aren't there doesn't mean she's isn't home. Sometimes she takes her shoes into the bedroom. I found some information on the kitchen table, didn't read it." he walks back into the kitchen to find Avalon had swiped his eggs, "Oi!"
"There isn't nothing left but that nasty black pudding crap you eat," she protests, sliding into a chair, "And knowing Mr. Hairy, he's probably slobbered all in the milk so cereal was out of the question. I suspect he probably has rabies."
Jayden just sighs and shakes his head, plucking the papers from the table to hand to Makoto.

[Straywolf]

Makoto scanned through the first page of the packet of paper Jayden handed her. Hmm... it's something, that's for sure. It's better than investigating without a lead. She opened her bag and slipped it into a manilla folder, and put the folder back into the bag. "Thanks for cooperating with me. I'll return the favor when you or Chloe get yourselves in a bind. Just use that device I gave you to contact me."

Makoto turned around, and stepped out of Jayden's apartment.

[Dawn]

"Yea, no problem." Jayden replies, going to the door and leaning against it, "Hope that information is what you need."
Avalon having finished her breakfast, comes up behind Jayden and scowls, "Why not just ask her to marry you if she's going to start being a regular fixture here?" Avalon grabs her schoolbag and hurries along to the nearest bus station to catch the bus to school.

[Straywolf]

Makoto turned her head to the side, and replied. "It'll be enough. I just need the basics." She also replied to Avalon's comment. "Sorry, I'm not interested in him. Go ahead and take him if you want."

Makoto walked off and headed towards her apartment.
