The black unmarked police car pulled up in front of Lux. Chloe followed Lucifer inside. He led her to a couple of his staff. A large muscular man with lots of tattoos. The man smiled as Lucifer approached. Lucifer gestured to Chloe. "This is Detective Decker. She would like to ask you a few questions about Bruno."

The man's eyes widened. He shook his head. He then tried to walk away only to have his boss put a hand on his shoulder. The man was powerless to escape his boss's grasp.

"Come now Ralph. It's just a couple questions." Lucifer's tone indicated he wasn't asking. "You were quite weepy about your buddy earlier. Just answer the detective's questions."

Ralph sighed. Lucifer released his grasp.

Chloe looked at Ralph. "Did you know Bruno well?"

Ralph shrugged. "We just worked together." He looked at the floor.

Lucifer was growing impatient with him. "What did I say earlier about lying, Ralph?" The Devil asked with irritation and danger in his voice.

Chloe took note of the tone. It made her shudder. But she had to pay it off. She looked at Ralph reluctantly answering the questions.

"You told me you knew about the drugs." Lucifer looked at Ralph.

Ralph shook his head. "Look, Mr. Morningstar. I told you what I knew. Bruno was only doing it for his family."

"You said you just worked together. Yet you knew he was running drugs, Ralph." Chloe cut in. "Sounds like you two knew each other better than you are letting on."

Lucifer leveled his gaze at Ralph. "Come now Ralph. You can tell me. Was Bruno in trouble? Did he make someone mad?"

Ralph sighed. "He said a neighbor of his was giving him trouble. Steve I think his name was."

"Steve Costas?" She asked.

Ralph nodded. "Yeah. That sounds right." He sighed. "Can I go now?"

"Yeah. Thank you." Chloe responded.

Ralph eyed Lucifer. Then he scurried off.

Chloe looked at Lucifer. "Is there anyone else here that Bruno seemed close to?"

Lucifer shrugged. "Let's ask Maze."

They walked to the bar. Maze was looking bored out of her mind wiping down the counter. She eyed her boss and his pet.

"Maze, you seem to know our staff quite well. Did you know who Bruno was closest to?"

Maze looked up from her cleaning. "Maybe."

Lucifer cocked his head at her. His eyes giving her the boss look. "Any names."

Maze eyed Chloe for a second. "Isn't that her job? To find out the truth." Her voice laced with derision.

"Names, Mazikeen." Lucifer ordered.

"Ask Isabelle."

Lucifer nodded. "Right."

Chloe looked at him. "Who is Isabelle?"

"A dancer. She should be in by now."

He led her to a dressing room. He knocked on the door. A young blonde opened the door. She smiled upon seeing Lucifer. "Hello Mr. Morningstar." She had on just a bra and undies.

"Hello darling." Lucifer said to her. "Is Isabelle in yet?"

"Yeah."

"Can you get her please?" Lucifer said in his most seductive voice.

"Right away."

"And fully clothed." Chloe added.

The blonde narrowed her eyes at Chloe and walked away. Within a minute a dark haired vixen opened the door. She smiled at Lucifer.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. Morningstar."

"Yes darling. This is Detective Decker. She would like to ask you some questions about Bruno."

Isabelle made to shut the door. Lucifer put his hand up and stopped it. "I have nothing to say." She turned and walked into the dressing room.

Lucifer snorted. "Seems my staff has forgotten who is in charge around here."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Why don't you just go all Devil on them."

Lucifer glared at her. He turned to the dressing room and marched in. The dancers all were in various stages of dress. They stopped as their boss walked in. He marched to Isabelle who was packing a bag. "I really don't have the patience today. Did you all forget who is in charge around here?" He said it to everyone. "Now, Isabelle. You are to answer the Detective's questions."

Isabelle cocked her hip. "Doesn't she need a warrant or something."

"This is my property. Now you can answer her questions or find another job."

Isabelle gasped and set her bag down. She sat down. Tears formed in her eyes.

Chloe watched. "Were you and Bruno having an affair?"

Isabelle shook her head. "No, nothing like that. His wife is my cousin." She buried her head in her hands and sobbed. "Bruno was a good man. He helped people. He helped me get away from an abusive boyfriend. He was the one that helped me get a job here."

"Well, if he was so helpful. Why were you so reluctant to answer questions?" Chloe asked her.

"The drugs. I thought I would get in trouble over the drugs." She sniffled.

"Are you on drugs?" Chloe asked her.

"Not anymore. But I knew Bruno was transporting them."

"Seems everyone knew about that. Was he holding up a banner?" Lucifer folded his arms. He looked around at all of the dressers in various stages of dress. Part of him wanted to go play. But he had to focus.

"No. It's not that."

"Are there others involved here?" Lucifer asked.

Isabelle shook her head. "No."

"Are you sure?" Lucifer leveled his dark eyes at her. He sensed she wasn't telling the truth. "I know you aren't being honest. Tell us."

Isabelle struggled in his gaze. Her discomfort giving away a lot more than words. She turned away from Lucifer. "I said to much."

Lucifer walked around to face her again. "Tell us the truth." His voice lowered.

"Ralph. And Whitey."

"Whitey the janitor?" Lucifer asked.

"Yeah. He was the one who got them in."

Lucifer glanced at Chloe. He sighed. "They aren't funneling drugs through my club are they?" His voice angry.

"No." Isabelle threw her hands up. "Look, do I still have a job?"

"Sure." Lucifer said to her. He then strode out of the dressing room with Chloe on his heels. He strode to the bar. He picked up a bottle and a glass. He poured a drink. He turned to Chloe. "Want a drink?"

She shook her head. "No."

He took a sip of his. "Look, I didn't know any of this was happening. Honest."

"I believe you, Lucifer."

He raised an eyebrow. "Really. That's a surprise."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Chloe's eyes narrowed.

"You don't seem to believe me on other things."

She folded her arms and looked at him with irritation. "Let's not get into that again. Look I believe you about the Devil crap. I am just having a tough time dealing with it."

"Oh. I see" Lucifer took a sip. "Is that why you ignored me for three months?"

Chloe shook her head. She leaned against the bar. Her blue eyes looking away from him. "I just didn't know how to process what I saw."

Lucifer softened his gaze. He frowned. He could tell from her tone that she was serious. "I am sorry that happened, Chloe." He placed his hand on her back. "I never meant for you to see that side of me."

She didn't pull away from his touch. She turned back to him. His dark eyes regarding her. They had the sensitive look she liked. "It's all I see, Lucifer. In my dreams. Sometimes when I look at you."

He hated that she was so hurt. He hated that he had caused her pain. "I would never hurt you." He said gently.

"I know." She sighed. She picked up his drink and took a sip. "Let's focus on the case."

He chuckled. "Alright." He poured more alcohol into his glass. "Are you sure you don't want a drink?" He laughed.

She chuckled too. "No its alright."

"Seems my staff needs to be reminded who is the boss around here."

"We need to talk to Ralph again. And who is Whitey again?"

"A janitor." He looked at Maze. "I think he may be in tonight."

Chloe nodded. "Okay. How do you want to do this?"

"Well, Ralph works tonight. Since I am down a bouncer I would prefer we wait till closing time."

"I can do that." Chloe placed her hands on the bar. She smiled slightly. "I'll see you later, Lucifer."

"Okay Detective." He took another sip of his drink. "When this case is over, we'll talk about the other thing."

Chloe looked at him. "Okay."

"I'll try my best to explain the true nature of this world to you."

Chloe smiled. "Good night Lucifer." She turned and walked out of the club.

That night Lux was hopping. Lucifer strode around his empire. He was in one of his finest Armani suit. He walked around and let the lovely ladies paw him. Enticing him to dance with them. He danced with a few. He was just not in the amorous mood. His mind was one Chloe.

It pained him that she had seen his nastier side. It was not something someone forgot. Ever. Most people who saw it went stark raving mad. They had to be institutionalized. His daughter was the only one who seemed to get past it. Of course being his flesh and blood helped her process the image. She had seen Hell after all. But for humans it was a different story.

He sat down at the bar. He stared at a glass of brandy. He didn't touch it. He felt Maze's eyes on him. "Yes Maze?"

"Let's loosen up. Have some fun. You are so uptight, these days." She lowered her face to his. Her dark eyes looking into his.

He looked away from her. "Not tonight Maze."

She snorted. "You are so boring now. We left Hell to have fun. To play with the humans. But yet you spend all your time with the detective or that daughter of yours."

He glared at her. "Why shouldn't I spend time with my daughter?" He wasn't going to address the part about Chloe.

"You never cared about your other children."

"Well, times have changed Maze." He stood up and moved away from the bar. He walked towards the entrance.

Ralph was manning the door. He watched the man for a few minutes. He smiled at the ladies that he let in. Oh he was so tempted to forget this case and just play. Maze was right. He came to Earth to play. Not chase criminals. He followed a couple of half-dressed hotties into the club. "Hello darlings. Welcome to Lux."

Two stopped and faced him. Two scrumptious blondes. Right there for the taking. One put her arm around his waist. He pulled her close. "Oh, and what do they call you?" He purred.

"Beth."

"Beth. And who is your friend?"

"Brittany." The other one answered.

"Oh. I do love a Brittany." He said as she put her arm around him. Two lovely ladies. He could feel the desire rising. "What do you ladies desire?"

"You." Beth said close to his ear. "What say we have some fun?"

"Oh do go on." He chuckled.

Brittany on his other side felt up his chest. Her hand moving to his chest.

Lucifer laughed. "Care for a dance?"

"Anything for you." Beth responded.

The trio moved into the club. They danced together for what seemed an hour. With his lips on Brittany he was ready to have fun tonight. She moved her hands all over him. He hadn't noticed the late hour. "What say we take this somewhere private?"

Brittany smiled. "Lets."

Beth nodded in agreement.

Beth loosened a button on his shirt. He leaned down to place his lips on hers.

"Lucifer." Chloe's voice cut in.

He sighed loudly. "Perfect timing detective." He eyed her. The ladies were still awing at him. "You and my daughter have that trick down well."

"Huh?" Chloe asked. "I thought we were going to question Ralph and Whitey." Her arms were folded. She eyed the two women in his arms. "But I see you got distracted."

He sighed. He reluctantly moved out of the arms of the two women. "I am so sorry ladies. I am going to have to take a raincheck." It pained him to have to say goodbye. The two women looked disappointed. "Have a drink on the house." He sighed and looked at Chloe.

Chloe shook her head. "You are unbelievable. It's like dealing with a child sometimes"

"What I got bored?"

"Yeah okay, Lucifer."

Lucifer watched Beth and Brittany dancing with another man. He hated being interrupted. But he tried to focus. They needed to find out if there was drug ring in his club. And catch a murderer. That was important. He refocused his mind on that. "Would you like a drink, Detective?"

"No." Chloe responded.

They waited till closing. Then they went to find Whitey and Ralph. Walking out to the back of the club. They saw Ralph standing between two vans moving bundles. They watched for a moment. Lucifer knew what was going on. He strode forward towards Ralph.

"Hello Ralph." He said to the large man.

Ralph looked startled. "Oh hi, Mr. Morningstar." He closed the door to one of the vans. "Can I help you?"

"No. But you can help us. What is it you are doing?"

"Nothing." Ralph looked at the ground.

Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose. He closed his eyes and sighed. "We are going with the lying again?"

"No,"

"Then tell us what you are doing."

"Look it's not what you think."

"It looks like you are moving drugs." Chloe said to him. "A lot of drugs."

Ralph pulled out a gun and pointed it at Chloe. "Pretend you didn't see this and no one gets hurt."

Lucifer held out his hand. "Give me the gun Ralph."

Ralph pointed it at Lucifer. "No. Just let us go. We are doing this for our families."

"Who else?"

Another man walked over to them. He was thin and older. He had long white hair. "Hello Lucifer." He said. A gun in his hands. He had it pointed at Lucifer as well. Chloe went for her gun. "Make one false move and she gets it." Whitey said to them.

Lucifer glared at the thinner man. "Whitey. This isn't how you get raises." He held out his hand to him. "Just give me the gun. We can figure this out."

Whitey shook his head. "No. Sorry."

In a flash Lucifer had his hand on Whitey's arm. He twisted it easily and broke it. Whitey cried out in pain and dropped the gun. A shot rang out from Ralph's gun. Luckily he was a bad shot and missed. Lucifer turned to him.

Chloe had her gun pointed at Ralph. "Drop the weapon Ralph. No one else needs to get hurt."

Ralph pointed it at Chloe. He squeezed the trigger and a shot rang out.
