"So, what are we gonna do, now?" Pisces asks, plopping down beside Virgo on the sofa, with a bowl of cereal in her hands.
Ophiuchus was in the middle of the living room, as he eyed the zodiacs. Capricorn, in particular.
"I've told Raphael about our situation." Ophiuchus says, "Because, you know, he's kinda responsible for getting us into this circumstance. And uh...he says it'd be easier to handle this turmoil if he knew if only Capricorn or all of you were being targeted."
Sagittarius looked at his girlfriend, as she seemed deep in thought. She'd been like that since she woke up, only occasionally speaking up to answer his questions, or anybody else's concerns that were directed at her.
Sagittarius looked down at her bowl of cereal, that was left untouched. He snapped his fingers in front of her, to grab her attention. She slightly flinched before she directed her gaze back at him.
"You okay, babe?"
"Uh..." Gemini pauses, before her gaze travelled to Ophiuchus, "I think I know what went wrong." She says, loudly this time, grabbing everyone's attention.
Ophiuchus looks at her questioningly, "What?"
"You see..." She trails off as her mind raced back to the events of the day at Lucifer's mansion, "After Capricorn got...into his little uh, situation back at Lucifer's, I got a little carried away because it was ridiculous."
She looked down at her feet, feeling culpable, "And I deleted everyone's footage. But I..." She guiltily forced her gaze back at Ophiuchus, "May or may not have forgotten to delete Capricorn's footage as he was getting back with the HOPC."
Sagittarius's confusion faded, as he looked at her, flabbergasted.
"Oh." Capricorn voiced.
"Well..." Ophiuchus sighs, "At least that makes it easier for Raphael."
"I'm so sorry, Cap." Gemini says, now forcing her eyes to direct at Capricorn.
He simply nodded, unable to voice his complete thoughts, "It's not your fault, I suppose."
"No. This is all my fault." Virgo abruptly cuts in, standing up, "I should've paid attention to what Gemini was doing."
"Stop, it's not your fault, the blame is on me." Gemini says, more guilt seeping in.
"It's none of your faults-" Capricorn got cut off by the opening door and the grand entry of the man who got them in trouble.
"Oh God." Were the first words that escaped his lips as Raphael shut the door behind him.
"I should close that thing before he makes an entry ever again." Ophiuchus muttered to himself as Raphael approached him and stood by his side.
Ophiuchus repeated the short story that Gemini had just told them, and Raphael silently contemplated for a while.
When Raphael was done, the signs had already engaged in their own conversations with each other. He cleared his throat loudly and everyone gazed back at him.
"I've got a few cops who work directly under me, in my custody, so they, very occasionally, play dirty for me." Raphael starts and the signs were all perked up, "And I did some research the second Ophiuchus called me about your little situation." He continued, "The cops have been at Lucifer's tail, lately, tryna find some dirt on him, to get him into jail."
The signs' eyes widened.
"But since he's so slick, they haven't found a single piece of evidence against him." Raphael's eyes moved to Capricorn, "And since they're after Capricorn, I'd say the best y'all can do is probably work with my cops -the ones that won't get you in jail for being professional thieves- and find some evidence against Lucifer, then throw him behind the bars."
