ZODIACS
CHAPTER 20
Three hours before the Taurus assassination plot.
In front of a cemetery parked two Honda Civics, and in a parked car at the front, a meeting is taking place.
“Jack sent me to kill Taurus,” Moll Dyer told the beautiful blonde witch next to him.
“Killing Taurus? Didn't Jack say, we just need to watch him?” avenge the witch named Cassandra.
Cassandra's answer made Moll Dyer suspicious. “Then what's the difference? Kill and watch, what's the difference?”
Cassandra did not answer Moll Dyer's question.
“Oh, don't tell me you love her, Cassandra.”
With a cold gaze Cassandra said, “what do you mean?”
A grin appeared on Moll Dyer's face. “We'll see later. If you try to get in my way, then you will also get hit.”

The night: TAURUS ASSASSINATION OPERATION
Cassandra entered Myrtes Cafe, then walked towards the bar stool by the window. There Gavin was sitting and talking to the bartender. There was a glass of beer on the table, and Gavin smoked a mild cigarette and exhaled his smoke into the air.
“You have been waiting a long time?” cassandra asked when she was near Gavin.
“Hey, Kau—“ Gavin stopped as a child, his eyes sweeping Cassandra's body from head to toe. “You are beautiful once.”
Cassandra smiled and sat down next to Gavin. “Gavin, there's something I want to talk about.”
“tell me,” reply Gavin.
“Ya, but I want elsewhere.”
“Oh, okay. But wait as soon as again. I don't feel good about my bandmates if I don't pay.”
“There is no time to wait for them.”
“What do you mean?”
Near the door, the heads began to turn and one of the waitresses nearly dropped a tray of drinks in shock. Two men wearing black-and-black clothes entered carrying long-barreled rifles and mercilessly fired the rifles carelessly.
A shocked Gavin pulled Cassandra's arm to get to the floor—avoiding the bullet. “Hey, what the fuck?”
“I told you, let's go out.”
Gavin stared at Cassandra's face; there was another in the eyes of the woman he had known for the past three months: Cassandra's blue eyeball turned white. “Cassandra, you're a witch?”
Something strange happened with the man, he shot his shot, his face confused and his eyeballs turned white. What happened next was shocking, when the man pointed the rifle at his partner, then suddenly shot the gun blindly. After his partner was killed, he aimed the muzzle of the rifle at his chin, then pulled the trigger; mercilessly his head exploded into pieces.
“Ayo,” said Cassandra while standing up and pulling Gavin's hand.
“You ... are you a mind controller?”
“Already! Not now. No time.”
Two men with rifles entered the cafe again. They were confused when they saw two friends lying lifeless lying on the cafe floor, then, blindly, they fired bullets at all cafe visitors.
Gavin hugged Cassandra's body as a bullet slid down towards her, and she fell down as it stuck in her back.
With all her might, Cassandra held onto Gavin's larger body, and carried him towards the emergency exit at the back of the cafe (where Gavin's car was parked).
“Cassandra,” said Gavin while on his way to the back door. “You have many questions you should answer.”
“Ya, whatever you are,” reply Cassandra. “That's important we get out of this place first. This place will soon explode.”
“Exploding?”
“Yes. There is a witch who has that ability, and she is waiting for the right moment to make an explosion from outside.”
“Sial!” Gavin. “Can't we save everyone?”
“No, no time.”
“I can if I want. I have the power—“
“Do not do it! Everyone knows who you are.”
Gavin smiled after hearing Cassandra's words. “You know who I am?”
“Then, we'll discuss later. This is not the right time.”
“Good. Can you drive a car?” gavin asked, and Cassandra nodded. “In the south there is an inn in front of the beach. We're heading there.”
“Is the place safe?”
“Entah, I've never been there either. But I have a very strong friend, he told me to go there in case something dangerous happens.”
“Who?”
“You'll be surprised. She's a Goddess.”
