Zodiac

Chapter 5

Sagittarius P.O.V.

We're waiting outside a house, the plants are wilted and the house looks old probably made in the 1900. It looks like no one's been here in a very long time. I'm getting bored just waiting here so I scream really loud and Sylvia jumps. I start laughing at her.

"You should have seen your face" I say while laughing. She can take a joke but I can tell she's scared so maybe scaring her even more wasn't a good idea.

"Fuck you" she says, her phone vibrates and she checks it. I notice her just staring at her phone and doesn't move. What is she waiting for? I'm about to say something but I decide not to, so I just sit there waiting for her to react.

"I'll be back, stay here" she says while getting out of the car. I watch her as she gets closer to the house she opens the front door and walks inside. Sylvia really needs this money for her mom who's very sick.

I just got back from Florida about three days ago. When I left Los Angeles Sylvia was trying to be a good person earning her money honestly but when she really needed money she always asked Derek. Derek is a corrupt businessman who hires people to keep him safe or do his dirty work. I work for him from time to time when he asks me to do a job. You can say I'm one of his best employees.

I start getting bored so I check my phone, no signal isn't that perfect. This day just keeps getting better. I look down and see what I'm wearing black shorts that go up to my waist with a white short sleeve lace top and some heels. I turn the radio on hoping it'll distract me until Sylvia returns.

It's been 20 minutes and I'm beginning to worry. It doesn't take that long to get some money. I step out of my matte turquoise Aventador, which was a gift from Derek and walk towards the back it'll be awfully stupid of me to enter through the front. I turn the knob on the door and it's unlocked but as soon as I open it a squeaking sound fills my ears. So much for a quiet entrance. I walk around the house quietly and look for Sylvia but all I find is old furniture, dust and cobwebs. She seems to have disappeared, maybe she went back to the car. I turn around ready to leave until I hear someone crying.

" Please I need the money for my mom, if I don't pay the money they'll stop providing her the medicine she needs I don't want to lose her" Sylvia says with sobs in between as her voice cracks.

"I guess you should start saying your goodbyes" a familiar voice says. I can't put my finger on who that voice belongs to.

"Please Fabian I promise I'll pay Derek back" says the teary eyed girl.

"Derek called us here to meet with you for one reason, after this we have other business to attend" he says.

I peek behind the wall and see two men in black suits, one of them carrying a duffel bag. Sylvia walks up to Fabian and falls on her knees begging him to give her the money. The last time I saw Fabian he was a sweet person so I know he'll give it to her, but it's been two years and people change so what he does next catches me off guard. He kicks Sylvia while she's on her knees and she falls back.

Fabian said he had other business to attend which means the money in the duffel bag is for another client. I realize why they asked Sylvia to come, Derek wants her dead. Fabian is ready to hurt her again but I won't let him.

"That's enough" I say while pointing a gun at him. He turns around slowly and looks me in the eye.

"What are you doing here" he says angry and annoyed with my presence. His friend pulls his gun out and aims it at me.

"Put your gun down now and slide it over" I say and he listens the first time knowing what I'm capable of. "Give me the money" I demand.

"Do you realize what you're doing" Fabian asks.

"Did I fucking ask you" I pause "No I didn't so just give me the money" I say growing impatient he knows I will end up with the money, with or without his help. He grabs the duffel bag handing it to me. I order both of them to leave and as Fabian exits he curses under his breath. When I'm certain they're gone I help Sylvia up and walk towards the car.

"What's this" she says picking up an envelope that's on the passenger seat. It wasn't there when I went inside.
