Los Angeles: 10-05-17, 6:45 p.m.

"Please, don't-" BLAM. The gunshot rang out and the victim fell to the ground, while his killer ran off. The man layed on the ground gasping for breath when he saw her. She walked towards him and kissed him on the lips. Suddenly, the man was looking down on his own body and he turned back to the woman.

"... You're-"

"Yep. Sorry you had to go so quickly. But, if you follow me, the afterlife is just this way." She held out her hand, and the man accepted it. The two vanished in a flash of light, leaving the man's dead body on the street.

(18 minutes later)

"So, victim was shot once in the lungs I'm guessing. Started to drown in his own blood, poor guy." Ella sighed as she examined the recently departed.

"Tragic indeed. Anyway, detective, do hope we can wrap this up quickly. I have a busy night ahead of me." Lucifer smiled at Chloe, who was simply annoyed.

"Well, until I get back to the precinct, you and I are still on the case. So, victim's name was Bill Holloway, lived in Las Vegas. Most likely here for a vacation or a business trip. Okay, we need to track down any of his associates or friends, and then we can-" Chloe was cut off by a ear-splitting whistle that rang out through the entire street.

"LUCYYYYYYYY!" Lucifer turned around to see a woman with paler-than-chalk skin, wearing a tank-top and jeans that matched her black-as-coal messed up hair, with a leather jacket, black gloves and an ankh necklace and a tattoo like the eye of Horus around her right eye. She smiled at him, only to receive a look of both fear and confusion. Chloe looked at the woman as well.

"Who is that?" she muttered, still recovering from the whistle. The woman walked over to them and hugged Lucifer tightly.

"Been a while, I missed you... Who's this cutie?" She released her grip on Lucifer and the pair of them turned to Chloe.

"... Detective, meet-"

"Teleute. Nice to meet you, Detective." the woman shook Chloe's hand, but the detective was still confused by all this.

"She's an old friend... Not like THAT kind of old friend, we knew each other growing up. She's like my little sister." Lucifer grinned insecurely, and Chloe simply looked even more confused.

"Well, that's all fine and good, but she can't be here in an active crime scene-"

"Oh, right, right. I'm actually a witness. Saw the whole thing." Teleute blurted out and then walked over to where the victim was. "Guy was standing here, other guy was-"

"Um, let's get your statement back at the station, please." Chloe bluntly stated, and Teleute simply walked back over to Lucifer. "Okay, let's get everything packed up here, and we'll finish up at the station."

"Perfect, detective. Mind if I walk her to the car? Been a while since we've seen each other and all that, need to catch up, okay bye." Lucifer rattled on faster than Chloe could understand and then walked away before she could figure out what was going on. "... What are you doing here, Death?"

"Oh, come on. I really did miss you. Besides, I heard you quit being lord of Hell, became a lackey to a cop... Sounded too interesting to not check out."

"You. Want to help me. Solve a murder?"

"Yeah. Think about it. "Death and the Devil"... It'll be fun." She smiled, and Lucifer had a feeling he was going to regret this in some way later.
