Criminal Wanted: A Zodiac Story *Haitus*

Chapter Three

Sounds of clicking and scratching flowed out of the office, where the door was ajar. Footsteps clapped down the wooden floor, interrupting any source of silence.

"Chief?" A tentative female voice called out. A spiky red haired male looked up from his paperwork to see a brunette female standing at his office doorway. A smile went across his face as he greeted one of his newer officers. "Oh Sagittarius! What brings you here?"

Sagittarius gulped and walked into the office. This was her first time going into her chief's office, so she wasn't sure what to do or expect. She's heard multiple stories about the hot-tempered chief and how cruel he is whenever someone makes a mistake. The fact that she was standing in front of the so-called chief made the stories feel even scarier. Sweaty hands rubbed against her pants as she tried to get her act together.

The male, sensing her uncomfortableness, motioned for her to sit down, soft smile never wavering from his features. It seemed to have worked for Sagittarius stopped shuffling her feet. He knew all about the stories and rumors about how cruel he is, but all of that was fake should be directed to the chief before him. Man, that guy was an evil one. Firing one good officer after another until he himself got fired and Aries took his place.

"Libra wanted me to tell you that the murderer of Kaylie Woods has been caught and in the room for interrogating," Sagittarius said, eyes downcast and not meeting her boss's. "Her name is Petunia Yorkster, twenty nine years old, and her reason for killing Woods is because Woods had threatened her with blackmail." Aries nodded, already deciding her sentence in jail, but then realized Sagittarius couldn't see it due to her downcast eyes.

"Alright, thank you for telling me. You are dismissed."

Sagittarius nodded and quickly fled from the room, shoes clacking down the silent hallway once again as she went back to her station. It felt like the weight of the world suddenly lifted from her shoulders. Talk-to-the-chief-without-getting-fired mission was a success.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Libra arched her back, trying to get some of the stiffness out. The case with Kaylie Woods was an easy one. One clue after another gave her the correct hypothesis, and the killer was arrested.

Just as she was about to pack up the case and turn the portfolio in, the sounds of running and incoherent shouting came down from the hallway next to her office. These were the times where Libra regrets getting slightly soundproof walls. Going into detective mode, Libra quickly deducted some of the possibilities. So that left two reasons why people would dare run in the hallway where the detectives were. One, there was an emergency call that just happened and Libra wasn't aware of it yet, or it was just Leo and Taurus fighting over food again. Probably the second one. To prove her hypothesis correct, Libra peeked her head out to see Officer Leo with a crazed grin on his face and a wrapped burrito in his hands running away from an angry brunette. Of course. Leo steals the unsuspecting Taurus' food for the thirty-seventh time in merely a week and a half. New officers are always so hard to deal with.

And it's out! I'm going to go more in depth in personality with Libra, Taurus, and Leo, but you can probably already guess Leo's personality.
