Jayden shrugs, "You just surprise me at times that's all, makes me kind of wonder why you came a hunter in the first place. Not my position to ask.. we all have our own reasons why we do what we do.." he nods, "True.. I guess we better get going.. and it's your car," he grins, "You'll be the one having to deal with the smell later if he has to let it go on the way there."

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."

"He might prefer the trunk, you should ask him next time." Jayden replies as he slides into the back seat of the car beside Hayate and pulls the door shut, "Hopefully he will behave himself or I'll have to bring the handcuffs back out."

He leans back against the leather seat, his eyes focused on Makoto, sensing her thoughts were else where and waits for her to snap out of them. A small smile at her comment, formed on his lips, "Yes. I guess in your line of work, being social isn't a thing you really get the chance to do much, is it? Eh.. As long as I am not ending up in a body bag through unless your thinking of making our run ins a daily routine now."

"Most of the Hunters I've run into are assholes, so I don't even bother talking to them. And the police officers I've run into like to get in my way and bore me with the standard procedures... no offense to you." Makoto drove the SUV out of the parking lot and back into the street, cruising along and wasting more time, trying to decide whether to go to the Hunter HQ or the Police HQ.

"Daily routine?" She glanced at Jayden through the rear-view mirror. "I'm not giving you my number, if that's what you're trying to say. I've already run into you, that kid, and Roland a few times already. Too much police and not enough Skulls."

"I know that feeling, some of the other officers can be quite dicks. I love my job but at times, I question why I ever joined the force. I guess back than, just turning eighteen, no family and being kicked out on the streets to fend for myself, police training was the only way of insuring I had a warm bed and food in my stomach each night."

He frowns, "If I was going after your number, I wouldn't have to ask you for it you know. And I really don't want it, I won't have any time on my hands to even think about entertaining anyone, I'm doing both this area and the Shrine District rounds. And even if I did, I don't know you well enough to even consider it, call me old fashioned but I was raised up to respect women." he looks out the window, "Wouldn't be too shocked if the most of the skulls in the area went into hiding since that announcement."

HAYATE

"Most of the Hunters, including you, I am assuming?" Hayate hid a smirk, pretending to examine his burned hand.

As much as he would have liked to anger the Hunter again, Hayate much valued his dignity over 'pissing off' the woman, so he rather sullenly glared out of the backseat window.

"Hey, do you want to stop by the Flame Skull's base? We can go see some of your friends before I drive you and Jayden to the Police station." As the light a few hundred feet started to turn red, Makoto slowed down and stopped at the intersection.

She turned around and rested her elbow on the seat, and faced Hayate, giving him the same sadistic smile she gave him back at the shop. "Oh, right. I killed them all too."

Roland had made his way to the police station. The hunters were still in control and the looks in which they were giving Roland upon his arrival were clear to him. Yet he simply pushed his way through them as he made his way to his desk and he noticed that even some of the other officers were giving him dirty looks.
"Roland!"
Roland turned around to see the chief standing in the doorway of his office.
"Ah, hey chief. I just came by to see what was happening."
The chief sighed heavily as he rubbed his eyes. "Don't cause any more trouble, Roland. I don't need it right now."
Roland nodded and sat down at his desk.
"Not planning on it chief."

Zaki nodded a bit to Chloe and sighed a little trying to make some heads or tails of a few things then looked at the other across the table. "So what can we do now? Really what can we do? I mean ummm I am bit of wuss when it comes to try be on my own and I hide a little to much." he admitted to her as he finished off his meal.

Vincent made his way down the side of a building headed to the park, his dark hair hung over his eyes as he looked about the area being sure to be careful about what he was doing and trying hard not to stand out to much but he knew he already did. Once getting to the park he saw someone there not many people where out after what had happened in the last few days and what people think is going. He could tell it was the cop from the other day he remember running into the head of the fire skulls and the one Jubeii had folly with. It was rather interesting to see him in the park.

Chloe finishes up her coffee before locking her eyes on Zaki, "Only choice I can see at the moment is wait and see what course of action the Hunters take." she grimaces at Zaki's comments, "I notice. Just one conflict with the old blood sucker leaves you checking your knickers. Next thing I know, you'll be wearing clumps of garlic around your neck and carrying a cross." she sighs, resting her hands under her chin, "Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, with all this happening, it will help you finally grow a backbone and learn to stand on your own two feet. Cause what happens if you get into a run in with Hunters, Zaki? I think they would be quite amused if a girl was the one that had to do the fighting for you and I can't always keep bailing your ass out, you know."

HAYATE

Struggling to keep his calm, Hayate leaned back into the seat and crossed one leg on the other.

"Not all." In the back of his mind, he wondered whether the other gangs would exploit the current state of the Flame Skulls.

...Or perhaps it will help us.

KYD

Kyd clung onto the tree branch and tried to keep his balance. I need to fucking find a better place to sleep tomorrow, he thought, remembering the police that had been roaming the area. Least they'll think I'm some sort of fucking hobo. Or something. He rubbed his eyes, patted somewhere above his head to make sure his stash was indeed staying on the tree with more ease than he was, and did a neat faceplant back into the bark.

So tired.

Makoto drove around for several more minutes before finally arriving on the street the Police Headquarters was located before noticing Skull Hunter vehicles parked nearby. What's this? There are Hunters at the station? Well then, that makes turning in the kid to the Hunters easier for me, if I decide to do so.

She parked the SUV in front of the station's front door. We're here. I'm not going to bother suiting up or anything. I don't need my jacket irritating my burns.

"Wonder what's up?" Jayden muses, his eyes on the parked Hunter vehicles nearby, something must of happened if Hunters were at the Station before turning his attention to Hayate, "Well, I guess we'll find out the answer to your question now and your choice if you decide to take the easy route or hard route into the Station cause I won't be as lenient as I was with the cuffs back at the restaurant." He pulls the cuffs from their spot on his belt, keeping them in Hayate's view and waits for Hayate's answer.

Zaki blinked and looked down some. "I know, I know, I don't really think I was made for ya know close combat so I have fight far away and I don't think it all bad, if I was saved by a girl. It show I can at least have help from them unlike most guys." he said to her then look up smiled at her with a bit of dorky like grin.

HAYATE

He glanced around. He could maybe knock Jay unconscious and run for it...but the Hunters all had guns. Or he could use Jayden as a shield.

The mere thought of that upset his stomach. If they were just ordinary policemen, this would have been so much easier.

"Fine. It isn't as if I could easily run away from the others," Hayate muttered, blowing his hair out of his face. It still smelled singed. I need to wash it sometime...
