Author's Note: 2 chapters in 1 day. I just can't stop. I have so many ideas...
You'll probably notice some similarities as I'm going with the storyline... but don't be so sure about what you think you know ;) Have fun reading :)
No. what she needed was a cold shower. Desperately.
"Good Morning Detective." Oh God. That Smile. It sent shivers down her spine, even after the cold shower this morning, which was quite effective then. She promised herself she wouldn't let that vivid dream effect her. And she knew that she would meet Lucifer at the crime scene in just half an hour since she texted him to do just that. But apparently, her body didn't keep up with her pep talk in her head to play it cool and to not be affected by his charms.
Coughing to remove the sudden dryness in her throat she said "Good morning to you, too Lucifer." He eyed her a bit suspiciously before asking "Have you not slept well, Detective?"
Turning red on the spot she felt a bit shy but oh so mad at Maze. "Oh my god. What did she tell you?" Every word came out louder than the one before that and it took her up a notch from mad to furious. She was going to kill her when she got home.
Curious and very confused Lucifer eyed her with his head turned sideways. "What are you talking about? And who should've told me something?" while he asked the question he noticed the Detective suddenly turning crimson which led him to believe that whatever this was, he needed to find out because her reaction sure was interesting enough.
"Uhm..." she coughed again. "Not...Nothing."
"Oh, now I'm very intrigued. C'mon don't be shy, you can tell me." He teased.
Cursing under her breath she turned on her heel, walking into the room where Ella was crouching over their new victim. "Hey, Ella. What's up?" " Meet Rick Cormear. 19 years old, Malibu State Freshman. Friends thought he was just hungover after the big win against the Pasadena Grey Hawks. Turns out 'be dead. Of poisoning."
Chloe was relieved the awkward conversation was behind them, although she knew Lucifer too well by now and had a feeling that conversation wasn't over just yet.
"Of alcohol poisoning?" she asked the forensic scientist.
That one answered quickly "No! Like Poison... Poisoning. Check it out...(..) ribboned skin, ocular discharge..."
Lucifer interrupted her with laughter, soon to be elaborated on "Sorry, she said discharge. Get's me every time." Instead of her usual eyeroll, that Lucifer expected from Chloe she was caught again blushing. Thinking about him discharge... God. Stop!
She was just about to say something when the words were caught in her throat and she had to cough again. Oh c'mon Chloe. Get a fucking grip. "Detective," he said smirking down at her "you really do seem like you're somewhere else today. Mhh, do tell me more." He came closer to her and moved his head to the side, his ear now inches away from her mouth so that she could whisper him her secrets. Yeah right.
She turned away and focused on Ella again and the case. Since that is what they were there for. A case. Work. Somebody died. And it was their JOB to figure out why. No time for shenanigans.
"Any idea how long it took for the poison to activate?" she asked Ella.
"Well, it's hard to say for sure but best guess: maybe 24 hours."
Lucifer straightened up and focused on the case for once and saw an empty cup on the windowsill, took it n his hands and stated "Poor Ricky made them count enjoying what little life he had left with Sex or friends.
"Or sex with friends." Chloe thought.
Lucifer turned his head towards her, his eyes wide and a beaming smile, looking as sexy as Chloe remembered in her dream, maybe even more so.
"And you only tell me now?" Lucifer asked teasing. She only now noticed that she actually voiced her thoughts, turned red once more, her eyes widened when she was just about to counter her thoughts were interrupted by Lucifer. "What are your plans for tonight, Detective?" he looked hungrily at her as if he had a thousand ideas in his head of how that evening could go. She couldn't even hide her smile as her thoughts went there, too. She could feel the moisture between her legs. *moan* "What? Uhm. No. Nothing." As she realized what she just said she made another attempt "I mean no. Definitely not happening. I was just stating the obvious." She moved her hand, pointing to the victim and around the room.
Lucifer hasn't stopped smirking at Chloe. "Right. Me too" and as she did, he moved his hand pointing at her and back at him with a wink.
Over the course of the day the Detective and her partner were investigating, starting with watching the disturbing video the professor send to the actor, then the other video he send to the doctor only to end up at a college party where they found the girl who was threatened to die next if said doctor didn't cut her hand.
Back in the lab, they asked Ella if she found out what the components of the poison were, to see if they could help the kid to then go after the professor.
"I talked to a buddy of mine, from the DHS and they found this guy" pointing to a picture of a dead guy on the whiteboard she continued "in a cargo hold of a plane coming from L.A., same poison but it's like totally strong that it even killed him even though he didn't even get injected by it. It looks like it only spilled over him."
"Do you think you can create an antidote?"
"I'm already working on it. I should have it for you in like 2 hours."
"Thanks, Ella. You're a star."
Chloe headed out of the lab with Lucifer behind her. They only had to find the professor now to bring this investigation to an end.
With a flask in hand, which was supposed to hold a different poison, the professor dropped it in front of Chloe and Lucifer, who were behind a glass door, and fled the scene.
She was about to shoot the door in but Lucifer stopped her "What are you doing?" he asked anxiously. "If I don't get into that room right now, that kid is going to die!"
"A word of advice, Detective: If you go into that room right now, you'll die."
Conflicted by the situation she asked, "What are we supposed to do?"
Lucifer looked around, idea jumping to his head "I can save them."
Totally confused now she said "What?" Not sure if it was a question or a statement. She didn't even know what he meant. She lost her train of thought when he interrupted her "But to do so, you need to go after the Professor right now before it's too late." Another "What?" escaped her. While Lucifer was already talking over her again, trying to convince her "I promise you I can get to them without harming myself." "How?" "We don't have time to explain. Do you trust me?" and he looked straight into her eyes as if to make clear no harm would come to him.
She wondered for a moment why she was so sure of her answer, why she was so sure that nothing bad would happen to him if she would go after the professor now and leave Lucifer by himself. "Yes!" "Then go." She hesitated for a moment. "GO!"
Victory. Caught the bad guy. "Thank god you're here." She said to Dan who was approaching her. "Take him to the precinct. I have to find Lucifer." Without another word, Chloe left Dan there and he shoved the guy towards his police car.
Chloe ran back to where she had left Lucifer. "Where is he? Where is Lucifer?" she asked the kids which, when she last saw them, were in the lab at the professor's mercy and now sitting on a bench outside the college. Before they could answer her she heard his voice from behind her "I'm right here, Detective." With that grin on his face like nothing happened. "See! I told you everything would be alright."
He came down the stairs and stopped just before her. She let out a huge breath she was holding till that moment, relieved he was alright. Without hesitation, she swung his arms around him in a heartfelt embrace. "I'm so glad you're okay" she whispered. Smiling and leaning into the embrace Lucifer felt amazing.
After a moment she broke out of his arms and said "I guess we make a good team, after all, don't we?"
Unsure what to respond to such a heartfelt and real statement he thought he'd lighten the mood a bit. "What? Like Friends who have sex?" He felt the punch before he saw it.
Chloe had lightly punched him on the arm but returned the smile.
She turned, moving to the car. Wanting to be done with the day and go to sleep, since her last sleep was rudely interrupted by a weird dream and a popcorn-eating Maze.
"Oh C'mon Detective. I know you were thinking about me earlier." Walking to the car with her and opening the passenger door for himself "Don't be ashamed. It happens to the best of us. In fact, I think about you all the t..." he was stopped by Chloe's hand on his mouth before he could finish that sentence. She gave him a look that probably said something along the lines off Don't you dare finish that sentence.
His only answer was to shoot up an eyebrow and widen the grin underneath her hand.
Of fear what ideas he might get if she left her hand longer on his mouth, she moved it away quickly and started the car.
Checking in with Ella before heading home and needing to drive to the station anyway for Lucifer to get to his car, she arrived there with a car-ride that filled mainly with a non-awkward silence.
She wasn't sure if her partner would come in with her since he hated paperwork and everything that had to be done after a victorious investigation.
Stepping out of the car, she waited till Lucifer was out as well to lock it and go into the precinct. He followed her in only to sit in her chair and waved as she was making her way to the lab to check in with Ella.
"Hey, girl. Heard you got the bad guy. Congrats!" the forensic scientist beamed at her before she hugged her. "Glad you're alright"
"Thanks, Ella. And I heard you cured the girl. Congratulations to you, too."
"Aw. Thank you, Chloe." She eyed the Detective a little bit before she said. "What's up with you, eh?" Confused Chloe stared at the smaller woman and asked with her eyes What do you mean? "Well, you've been a bit off today. Not with your investigation, I mean. 'Cause you were awesome. Both of you. But c'mon Chloe, this morning?" she eyed her with a little grin on her face "what's up with that?" when she said that she looked through the blinds to Lucifer who was playing with what seemed like a tennis ball that he was throwing up to only catch a second later.
Turning back to Chloe she awaited her answer.
By now the woman was already fidgeting with the end of her blouse, looking through the blinds at Lucifer, just as the other woman did a second before. "Oh my god. I can't believe u noticed it as well. Was it that obvious that I was a bit off track this morning?" Ella chuckled "I mean. Yeeah it was quite obvious. But I mean... what exactly happened?"
Feeling like she couldn't hold this in anymore and Maze was hardly the rational type, she felt Ella would be a good... scratch that, the only person she could talk to about this. "Have you ever had a dream... where you were like... you know...?" she couldn't even name what kind of dream she had. It was the first kind of dream like that for her. Sure she had wet dreams before, but not that she remembered so clearly and definitely not with a real person. Maybe like a hot actor or something but never like this and to that extent that she felt so hot and bothered after waking up.
Ella's eyes shot up nearly to the sky "Ohhhhh Lord. Like a wet dream..." She trailed off. Clearly lost in thought. She turned quickly, watching Lucifer again, only now he was gone out of Chloe's chair, probably harassing other detectives.
As quickly she turned to face Chloe again with an OH expression on her face "Yup" is all Chloe could make out, her cheeks crimson now. "Shit Chloe. That is... That's so hot." Smiling brightly at the taller woman who wasn't having any of it. "Hot? That's your first thought?" she was about to continue along the lines of I thought you'd actually help me here but Ella already read her expression and said "Chloe I'm sorry. I didn't think. But like.. was it?" trying to lighten the mood with her award-winning smile and obviously being curious to what actually happened in the dream.
Chloe was laughing a bit now, too. It was Ella. C'mon you couldn't be mad at her if you tried. Starting to answer her shyly "Yes... I mean. Really! Hot!... which is the goddamn problem here!" Ella laughed at her, more like with her and said "Haha Chloe. Why is that such a problem? You do find him attractive don't you ?" Before Chloe could butt in she continued "Of course you do. Even a blind dude would find him attractive. So why not jump?"
Amused and confused she asked, "Jump what?"
"His bones, Girl!"
It was Chloe's eyebrows turn to shoot up into the skies "Wh...What?"
"Well, it's obvious you find him sexy. He certainly hasn't made a secret out of finding you sexy as hell. So why not? You said yourself today, and I quote "Sex with friends"
Just while she was saying the last sentence, the Devil chose that moment to enter the lab and rudely disturb the two ladies talking. Both turned to face him, perplexed looks on their faces like they were just caught with their hands in the cookie jar. "You, too Miss Lopez?" he gave both of them a big smirk while closing the door behind him "I assure you I wouldn't mind this threesome in the slightest!" he stated matter of factly. Both women now turning crimson. This certainly was an interesting day.
I really hope you like this chapter. I couldn't stop writing. and had alot of fun writing the scene between Ella and Chloe. As you can probably see, I took the same investigation as they had in 2x12, made a few changes but kept some quoted scenes exactly how they were on the show with a little twist at the end or in between :) I hope you don't mind, possibly I'm not that creative to think about my own investigations but I rather like that it follows the storyline in a way...
Tell me what you think :) Follow and review please :))))
