Sin City

Four: Sin City Citizens

"I know someone who knows someone that's part of the mafia too!"

Sin had arrived home about an hour after she left, ready to talk things out with Zayne. Instead, she found the car gone and house empty. No note, no texts, no nothing. Sin had cried for a while out of fear. What had Zayne done? Was this the end? 

It was only after Sin had fallen asleep on the couch, clutching her ring, when Zayne had attempted to contact her. 

She woke up around midnight, Zayne still missing. She decided to go on social media to see if she could find any traces of him. After nearly getting carried away with reading one-shots, she finally found a picture. Him, at a strip club. The picture was posted just a few minutes ago. And there was more. A girl in all green kissing him, and a stripper winking at him.

She was heartbroken, to say the least. She decided she had no choice but to tell someone. Or a whole bunch of someones.

.

"Oh, pick up already. Hey! Finally! I've been trying to call you for so long."

"Sin? What the hell, it's past midnight."

"I know, but I need to tell you something."

"Fine, what is it?"

"Zayne's cheating on me."

"WHAT?"

"And he's part of the mafia."

"Ooo, damn. Kinda hot not gonna lie."

"Vijaya!"

"Ok, ok, sorry. How did you find out?"

"I found out he was part of the mafia by a letter, and I found out he was cheating on me through Instagram."

"We need to tell Kai"

"No- I don't want Zayne to die"

"Yet."

"...yet"

After a moment of silence, Vijaya gasped.

"Ouu! I have an idea!"

"Go on..."

"I know someone who knows someone that's part of the mafia too!"

"Really? Who?"

"A girl named Frog. She knows a guy named Nate who's in the mafia. Well, not really in the mafia. He's a family doctor."

"And why are you telling me this?"

"I heard that there's going to be a 'Masquerade Ball'. I'm sure it's just a meeting, you know, figuring out who's 'earned' the most money. You could go with Nate and see if Zayne is there? And if he is there, see what he's doing."

"..."

"Uhhh, Sin?"

"You're brilliant. When is it?"

"Next week, Thursday."

.

"Kaz?"

"Mmmmm?"

"Can you come to a masquerade ball held by the mafia with me?"

"Sorry, I'm still half asleep. Did you just invite me to go to a masquerade ball that's held by the mafia?"

"Yeah. Bring a date."

"Wait- what?"

"Thank you, bye."

.

"Hello?"

"Hey, can you call me later? I'm playing League right now sorry."

"Is this Nate, friend of Frog?"

"Eulgh, friend? Of Frog? Never. She's annoying as hell. But yeah, I am Nate."

"You're part of the mafia, yes?"

"Hold on- "

"Do you want to meet up sometime? Bring Frog with you."

"No- what?"

"Saturday, around 3. I'll send you the address."

.

"Bella?"

"Fuck off Sin go to sleep."

"Come over tomorrow yeah?"

"Whatever. I hate you."

.

"Umm, Kai?"

"Call me later I'm horny."

"Okay."

"..." 

"Fineee what is it, Sin?"

"Hypothetically, would you ever hurt someone for me?"

"It's Zayne isn't it?"

"Come over tomorrow."

"Gladly."

.

"Hey, Lee."

.

"Nero, what's up?"

.

"Dom? Is that Asmo moaning in the background?"

.

"Come over tomorrow."

.

"Do you have plans for this week?"

.

"Hello, Ambrise."

.

"Rika!"

.

"Hera could you do me a favor, please?"

.

After calling everyone she could think of, Sin smiled coldly. Then, she remembered something. 'call me whenever you feel down'

Sin knew calling him would mean she could soon be cheating, but, it would make things even between her and Zayne. He cheated, she could too.

Hesitantly, she tapped in the numbers.

"Hello?"
