Sagittarius POV
It's 6:40 and I just arrived with my team at The Rage club. The eleven of us had split up and were going to communicate using our phones, no matter how much Aquarius and I had begged.
*flashback*
"Can't we just use the walkie-talkies." I whined, but Taurus had stubbornly shook his head.
"But, I went out and bought them last night. I spent a lot of money so we could all have one." Aquarius says holding out a bag full of walkie-talkies. Virgo walked up to us and hit us lightly on the head. "No."
*End flashback*
"Their loss." I muttered under my breath. The six of us walked around stealthily to the alleyway at the back of the club. Leo turned around and faced all of us, getting us to huddle in a tight circle. "Alright team, so here's the plan."
"Is it a good one?" Scorpio asked sarcastically. Leo nodded enthusiastically not noting the sarcasm. "Yup, probably the best one I have ever come up with."
"Okay, let's hear it. I want to be in and then out of that place." Aquarius says with a shudder. "There is probably really creepy stuff in there."
"So the plan is: I will get into the line out front and wait until I'm at the front. I'll use my charm and charisma to keep the bouncer distracted. Then Sagi will come up from behind and use his super karate skills to knock the bouncer out. Scorpio will drag the body away, with the help of Capricorn and Gemini will be our lookout. Finally, Aquarius will keep everyone else in the line calm by doing magic tricks." Leo says with a grin.
Gemini snorts and looks over at Aquarius. "Magic tricks?"
She blushes furiously. "I did some close up magic as a kid." She mumbles then looks at Leo. "But not anymore." Leo shrugs.
"That's not going to work." Capricorn says. Leo pouts. "Why do you have to be such a negative Nancy?"
"Leo, he's right." I say looking at my best friend. "It's too complicated and practically screaming disaster-- even if it is the more fun plan."
"So then what do we do?" Gemini asks wringing her hands. Her eyes are darting wildly, she was probably thinking of everything that could go wrong.
"We could just climb through that open window." Scorpio says pointing up, and just as she said there is an open window on the second floor of the club placed just above the ladder hanging off the side of the wall. "Oh." We all say.
Five minutes later we are all watching Aquarius slowly climb the ladder up to the window. She grunts as a strong wind hits her from the side, but she doesn't stop moving. "Why am I going first again?"
Leo cups his hands over his mouth. "That's because you were the best tree climber as a kid."
"Shh." Scorpio says swatting him in the head. "Shout as loud as you can, why don't you."
Capricorn snorts in amusement. Even from the ground I can see Aquarius roll her eyes and shake her head. Finally she gets to the top of the ladder and she looks up to the window. I watch her reach her arms towards the ledge, but they can't seem to grab a hold of it. Then, as if in slow motion, Aquarius slips from the ladder and since her hands were trying to grab the window ledge they weren't holding onto anything. She begins falling.
I don't hesitate to move. I step forward and catch her in my arms, just before she hits the concrete. We both fall to the ground, thankfully our backpacks softened the fall a bit. She gets out of my arms quickly and kneels down beside me. "Are you alright?" She asks, her cheeks pink with embarrassment.
