Zodiac

Chapter 15

Gemini (Kat) POV

"Very well, I have a mansion at your disposal, you will all stay there for a week or two and get to know each other better, there are cars downstairs ready to take you along with your belongings." Russell says and everyone heads downstairs.

"Do you have a minute" I say and he stops immediately, listening closely to what I'm about to say. "So you were the one who gave us the envelope" I ask and my words come out slowly. I suddenly feel as if it was a stupid question to ask. "I mean were you the one in the park."

"Technically Rick handed them out, I just told him who to hand them to, but he did tell me about the situation in which he found you, I have to say you owe him" he says and practically gives me a look asking if that was it. I don't give him an answer I just walk out of the room with my hands crossed. I probably won't ever see Rick again I mean Russell hired him for that one purpose, I doubt he'd stick around.

I pull out my phone and all my attention goes towards it. I keep walking and don't realize someone coming my way. I bump into them and my phone falls onto the concrete, shattering into pieces. I knew I should've gotten a phone case.

"Watch where you're going" I say irritated. I look up to find Russell's security guard the one who bumped into me.

"I guess that's a new form of saying thank you" he says and reaches down grabbing my phone handing it to me. Thank him for what? His voice sounds familiar, but I've never seen him before.

"What, am I going to thank you for" I pause for a brief second as if allowing him to answer. "Um... thank you for cracking my phone" I reply sarcastically and I roll my eyes.

"Rick hurry up everyone's waiting" Russell calls out to him. Rick? He's Rick? Shit.

"You're the guy" I whisper. I feel embarrassed knowing he helped me and here I am complaining to him about my cracked phone.

He smirks knowing I just realized who he is. He helped me that night. I could've been dead if he didn't come along.

"Oh my God, thank you for helping me" I say speechless. I imagined him to be different but somehow his features fit him well. He has short black hair with dark green eyes, he's built and around 5'10".

"No problem, it's not like I had a choice" he replies and walks away towards the car.

He's right the only reason he helped me is because he needed me alive in order to be here today. He wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for Russell sending him.

The car ride is silent no one says a word. Some of them brought their own car so they're following behind. I take in the scenery of Washington D.C. it really is pretty.

Russell showed us around and after he left we all picked our rooms. I'm tired and all I want to do is sleep. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Aquarius (Harry) POV

I wake up around 10 a.m. and for a second I freak out not recognizing the room I'm in. I can't believe this is happening I mean I'm in a mansion with 11 strangers.

I get up from bed and walk downstairs. Is anyone awake? I don't hear any noise they must be sleeping still. Then I hear several voices in the kitchen. "Who's going to cook breakfast" is one of the things I hear. I'm not cooking I hardly ever cook for myself. Everyone is standing around the kitchen arguing about breakfast.

"Okay okay, I'm a good cook so I'll do it, but I need some help like seriously" Liam says. I remembered all of their names. Niall and Maria volunteer and help him out. After that everyone scatters mostly to the living room and does their own thing.

"I'll call you when breakfast is served" Liam yells to everyone. Good thing because I'm starving. I need to grab some clean clothes and shower before I eat. As I walk back to my room I see her on the phone in the hallway.

"I'll call you back" she says and hangs up when she notices that I'm there. Who was she talking to?

"It's been a while" I say to her, we go way back. We worked together for Derek but that was about 2 years ago. I wonder if she remembers who I am.

"What do you want Harry" she asks. I see she hasn't changed she's still the same Mariela I remember. I grab her by the wrist and ask her why she's here. This can't be a coincidence, there's no way.

"Did Derek send you" I asked holding onto her wrist tightly. Me and Derek aren't on good terms since I helped one of his enemies.

"Fuck off Harry" she says and releases herself from my grip. She walks away and I'm left standing there. I doubt Derek has anything to do with this but there could still be a possibility.

I walk into my room grabbing a white T shirt, black skinny jeans and boxers. I go to the bathroom placing my belongings by the sink and get in the shower. Each drop of water that hits my body relaxes me even more. I don't last long in the shower maybe 15 minutes.

I get dressed and fix my hair. I always take longer getting ready then showering. I look good. My timing is perfect because as soon as I get out of the bathroom I hear Liam shouting that the food is done and that Niall is already eating it.

Libra (Dakota) POV

Everyone sits around the table and starts eating. There are pancakes, eggs, bacon, fruit and cereal. They really outdid themselves. Liam really is a great cook.

The table is silent, I guess I'll have to break it. All you can hear is the silverware tapping against the plate. Everyone is mostly done with their food anyways.

"Okay everyone in the living room when your done eating" I say and get up putting my plate in the sink. Finally they all make it to the living room and I even count to double check.

"Ok we need to know each other better if we're going to work and live together, I mean this silence is unacceptable" I say.

"She's right we really have to get to know each other a little, we'll sit in a circle and one by one will say their name and speak of yourself or whatever you want to say" Daniel says. He really is good looking, let's say I got a thing for leaders. We all listen and sit as Daniel starts us off. Everyone goes around and the last person to go is Louis.

"Well I'm Louis Tomlinson, I know you're all excited to meet me, who wouldn't right, anyways I'm from Doncaster England but I live in New York, I'm really good at planning things" he says. What does he mean by that?

"What kind of things, like birthday parties" I ask laughing apparently I'm the only one who found it funny. He looks at me as if I'm stupid.

"Ha ha no, did you ever hear about the stolen Starry Night painting" he asks but no one answers. The Starry Night? Didn't Dave steal it? Where is Louis going with this?

"Well I was in on it..... I planned the whole thing, if I could take it back I would because those assholes cheated me" he says and I notice his hands clenched into a fist.

"There is no way" Maria says skeptical of Louis story. So Louis was the mastermind Dave spoke of. Could it be true? Does he know that I know Dave?

"How did they cheat you" Zayn asks.

"They paid me with counterfeit money, I didn't realize it until later when I was going to grab some cash" he says. "When I find them they'll regret double-crossing me"

Should I be scared I mean I had nothing to do with it, but I know where Dave is.
