ZODIACS
CHAPTER 5
Music was loud in an apartment. The song I Hate Myself For Loving You by musician Joan Jett, slid hard from the speakers. A woman wearing a white t-shirt paired with black denim shorts was enjoying the song. Sometimes the woman flicked her fingers to the rhythm of the drum, sometimes she also sang.
Art deco interior design is used to make apartments located in the prestigious area of Ostheaven city center have an elegant atmosphere. This L-shaped apartment has three rooms; dining room plus kitchen, living room and one bedroom. While the bathroom is in the section that separates the living room and bedroom.
The bell sound was heard inside the apartment room, it broke the dominance of the music sound.
The volume of the music was reduced by the woman who had been enjoying the song she was playing, then she walked towards the main door and opened it.
There were two middle-aged men in front of the woman. “Wow, what are important people like you coming here?” said the woman.
“Sorry to disappoint you Leta, maybe for some time to come, you will be more important than me,” replied one of the Men
The woman who was named Leta smiled hearing the answer from the man. “Come in,“ invite Leta.

Inside the apartment, the man who had previously spoken to Leta, sat on a long white sofa located in the living room of the apartment. Hendrik Morgan, Prime Minister of Insulinde State. While the other man sits on a dining table chair that lies separate between the living room and the kitchen. The Turkish man was named Khair al-Din. Leta used to call him, Al. Khair al-Dhin is Leta's personal assistant.
“So, what do you need?” ask Leta. The beautiful woman with clean white skin was sitting on her desk chair facing the side of the sofa occupied by Hendrik. Behind the seats, there is a large window facing directly towards the downtown Ostheaven view.
“We will talk about the apocalypse,“ replied Hendrik.
“I'll take care of it.“
“Too strong. You will not be able to fight it yourself. You need a team.“ For a moment Hendrik sighed. “All this will be easier if there is Davin,“ Hendrik said later.
“It's rude to talk about a dead person, Mr.“
“Ya.“ Hendrik nodded his head, his right hand holding a glass filled with wine. “Then, how about the other Dhananjaya?” the man wearing the 55-year-old glasses.
“Kin Dhananjaya? Even he is currently in treatment. You know why? Falling down the stairs. We can't suddenly bring a monster for him.“
“How about the others? Al said you found another one in this city?“ Hendrik glanced at Al.
“Sonia Robbet?“ Leta took a file in a black envelope inside his desk drawer and gave it to Hendrik.
Hendrik put his wine glass on the glass table in front of him, then grabbed the file Leta gave him, then opened the file.
Hendrik read the contents of the file, occasionally shaking his head.
“Three years ago, before I came to this city, a 19-year-old woman brought four male corpses to the police station in the car she stole. This woman insisted that she had killed the four men. But the doctor's visa does not support the girl's statement.“
“Four victims died of drowning,“ said Hendrik.
“Yes, because there is water in the lungs and other causes.“
“ But how can a 19-year-old girl drown four grown men without any evidence of violence and more strangely, all four bodies in dry conditions?“ asked Hendrik.
“ Al, what is the amount of water content in human body?” ask Leta to Al.
“60 to 70 percent Boss,“ replied Al without a second thought.
“If there is someone who can control the water in the human body, what can he do if he wants to hurt humans?” ask Leta again.
“Anything, Boss.”
“Anything.“ Leta followed Al's words while glancing at Hendrik.
Hendrik straightened his body that was previously leaning on the sofa. ”Who can do that?“ ask Hendrik
“Sonia Robert,“ Leta replied while pointing to the file held by Hendrik.
“But this woman is now in a mental hospital. Because his confession is unproven and often utters strange words. He is considered crazy.“
Leta laughed at Hendrik.
Henry stood up from the sofa. “Again why I don't know this news? Why is there no media covering it?” asked Hendrik in a high tone. He took a breath, then sat back down.
“The four dead men, identified as members of the Tamam Shud organization. Of course intelligence covered the case. The public will be excited if they find out that the organization that has only been in conspiracy-themed books, is really real.“
“If you believe Sonia Robert killed four members of Tamam Shud. Explain to me who Sonia Robert is?“
“Aquarius,“ Reply Leta steady.
