Raven's Eyes (A Zodiac Story)

Into Hell

The man groaned as he squinted at the light. He seemed to have momentarily forgotten the situation he was in and gave a blank stare at the wall behind them.

"You good?" Ophiuchus snapped him back to reality.

"What happened?" He said with a slight slur due to the swelling in his cheek.

"I accidentally knocked you out."

"Now tell us. Who are you? Where did you come from? Everything." Sagittarius asked with a stern tone.

"C'mon buddy, I don't wanna have to punch the living daylights out of you again." Ophiuchus cracked his knuckles to make a statement.

"I-if I tell you. They'll kill me, so it doesn't matter what you do. I'll die either way." He stares at the ground.

"We never said we'd kill you. If you tell us your free to go." Sagittarius tried to keep him calm.

"I...don't know his name or how he looks like, nobody does. He keeps his face hidden even with his most trusted members. He also moves around a lot, never staying in one place too long. He had just recently moved everyone from Tokyo to here because something went wrong."

Virgo proudly grinned, recalling the memory of the casino.

"Do you know where he is now?"

"He has a whole underground system and the entrance is a small restaurant, to make it less suspicious."

"The name of the restaurant is in my back pocket."

Ophiuchus took out a thicker piece of paper and examined the contents.

"These are coupons."

"Coupons from that restaurant. That's how you even get into the restaurant. Then there will be people watching you at all times. The owner is the one who can let you in and let you out. Your best bet is taking them all out and taking the owner's keys."

The man paused, looking even more scared.

"That's all I can say." He let out a shaky breath.

"Good. You did good. We appreciate the information and you provided great assistance." Sagittarius thanked.

"C-can I go now?"

"Yes." Sagittarius looked at Ophiuchus.

Ophiuchus put a bag over the man's head, making him more frantic and thinking they would hurt him again.

"Take him far."

Ophiuchus nodded and left the house with the man blindly walking by his side.

"Alright children. Get some rest we will talk more about this tomorrow morning."

~The next morning~

Everyone had freshened up and taken care of whatever they had to before meeting back up in the living room. It looked like everyone had sufficient rest and were ready to perform at their best.

"Ok. We will go to this restaurant. Those of you who are fighters will stay more to the front to defend the rest. Everyone else, do what you can to help but be careful."

Everyone confidently nodded, except Cancer.

"Are you scared again?" Taurus scoffed.

"No."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"It's ok to be scared."
