Theft of the Zodiacs (A Zodiac Story)

Copy of a Copy of a Copy

Gemini walked alongside Libra, behind Ophiuchus as they looked for a way to get into Lucifer's third mansion.

Gemini and Libra, both had their eyes peeled for free entrances, even though that wasn't going to be hard to find.

"So...do you actually like Cancer?" Gemini started a conversation.

"Pfft -no?" Libra scoffed unconvincingly.

"Yeah, right." Gemini rolled her eyes, "Seriously, though."

Libra contemplated lying again or being honest for once, before thinking about the worst that could happen, and then gave in, "Fine. Maybe I do."

Gemini's eyes widened, "And does Cancer know?"

"No..." Libra sighed, "She can't know. I think she likes Taurus."

"Come on, Libs. Everyone except Cancer and maybe Aquarius knows you like her. You came out to all of us a while after we met, and then it started becoming obvious that you had caught feelings for Cance." Gemini said, a sympathetic look on her face.

Libra nodded, "Maybe, but I'm not gonna tell her, at least not now-"

"Guys, look-" Ophiuchus pointed at a door, and through the clear windows, they could all see a set of spiral staircases leading upstairs.

In an unspoken agreement, they all rushed down to the mansion and Libra picked the lock. The signs walked in, and Ophiuchus led them upstairs. They stopped cold when they heard voices of men coming from downstairs, but continued to sneak their way up when they realised those men wouldn't come up.

The three thieves entered a room and judging by the huge portrait of Lucifer covering a large portion of the wall in front of a desk, this was his study.

Ophiuchus smirked at the two zodiacs who stared at the room transfixed in awe. 

"Oh my," Gemini said, reaching out for the sleek table.

"Wait." Ophiuchus called out, throwing a pair of gloves at Gemini, "Put those on."

Gemini nodded, "Fine." She placed her gloved hand on the table, "What now?"

"I think we've hit a jackpot," Libra stated, pulling on her own pair of gloves, "It's his study we're in, we can probably find everything we need to right here."

Ophiuchus nodded, "Look around." He walked over to the shelves of books, running his gloved hand over each book's spine, before ending at a small table with drawers. He pulled open the drawers and took out the files in them before sitting down on the luxurious couch, skimming the papers and taking pictures.

Libra looked at the desk and spotted a computer on it before walking towards it. She pulled it open and stared at the black screen before switching it on.

"What would the password of this be?" She pondered.

"Being the narcissist he is- probably his name," Ophiuchus suggested.

"He's not that stupid." Gemini countered. 

"Whatever it is..." Libra said, suddenly aware of the laptop's wallpaper which was a candid picture of Lucifer in a suit sitting on a chair, smoking, "Ew. Anyway, this laptop probably has all the details of his businesses."

"Great, then try to get it all on this." Ophiuchus threw a USB stick at Libra abruptly, and she almost dropped it.

"Well, sire." Libra rolled her eyes, "I don't know the password."

"Try Lu-" Ophiuchus started before hearing muffled voices through the door and he kept shut, "We should go." He hurriedly mouthed.

"But what about thi-" Libra pointed at the laptop before Gemini grabbed her arm and rushed her out of the room.
