Theft of the Zodiacs (A Zodiac Story)

No, I won't act my age

With the invitations that Aquarius had sent to each of the signs, they'd all managed to get past security.

Libra, Taurus, Gemini, and Virgo were given the job of rummaging through Lucifer's room and going through his computer to get any incriminating information on him.

Capricorn, Aries, and Pisces had to keep an eye on Lucifer, whilst Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Cancer had to keep their senses alert for anything suspicious.

Aquarius and Leo were originally supposed to be with Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Cancer, however, Kiernan spotted Aquarius the second she stepped in, and Leo insisted on keeping watch over them to ensure nothing went wrong.

The scene for this tale was ironically very crowded. Ironic, how? Because this place could very easily be where a drug deal takes place. But then, again, Lucifer had a knack for the unconventional.

Taurus, Libra, Gemini, and Virgo didn't really have much of a hard time getting past the crowds and the security, especially with Libra's and Virgo's charms to guide them to the devil's room, which surprisingly wasn't guarded.

Overconfident bitch. Libra rolled her eyes. She wanted to kick ass, but she sighed and opened up the room. Virgo helped her with the door, praying to the good lords above that opening the door wouldn't trigger an alarm. 

Ophiuchus had told them explicitly that no such thing would happen, and yet, she was relieved when security didn't run up to all of them with guns pointed at their faces.

The first thing Libra noticed when she walked into the room was the laptop she'd seen back in Lucifer's other mansion. After the four signs put on gloves, they scanned the room.

Libra rushed to the laptop and switched it on, grimacing yet again at the picture of Lucifer that popped up, "Vir, what'd you think his password would be?"

"Hmm..." Virgo fell into thought, "If I was a narcissistic, hell-bent, world-destroying beast of a man, my password would be my name."

Libra simply nodded and typed it in, sighing and shrugging as she looked back at Virgo when the password was shown as incorrect.

"Damn, what?" Taurus looked genuinely surprised, "You know what? Try Kiernan's birthday."

"Well, fuck if I knew when he was born." Libra rolled her eyes, snapping at him. 

"Chill out, Libs," Taurus replied, his tone calm despite the inner turmoil they both were going through.

Gemini sighed at the both of them before speaking, "His birthday party was in November, on the twenty-fifth, and he turned twenty-five..." She trailed off, doing the match to calculate the year, "Which means, he was born in 19-"

"'99," Virgo, the genius she was, smirked, leading to Gemini huffing.

Alright, so...twenty-five slash, 9 slash, slash ninety-nine?" Libra mumbled as she typed it in, pleasantly surprised when the little eternal circle stopped chasing its tail to reveal the home screen, "Yes."

The signs smiled triumphantly before Gemini threw Libra the USB as Virgo walked over to her to work on the laptop to draw information.

Cancer had her eyes fixed on Aquarius, occasionally catching Scorpio's gaze on her, too.

Aquarius smiled at Kiernan as he spoke, her senses alert, "My dad has some serious plans for the offender."

"It's straight-up death, isn't it?" Aquarius said, her voice low, secretly hoping it wasn't.

"Yeah, father's not one for mercy." Kiernan nodded, "Speaking of, my father wanted to meet you." Kiernan casually dropped.

Her heart stopped.
