"So why didn't you call the police right away?" I've heard my sister's concerned voice downstairs. She could cause hard moments with her questions, but what else should we expect from a homicide cop?

"Well, I told Lucifer. He said..." Ty started but his mind must have been shady thanks to the hangover. "he said that he would call the police."

"And I did." I decided to step in saving that poor boy. "Detective Decker's a homicide detective. A pretty good one, actually."

"I am not your personal police concierge." She said coldly starring daggers to me.

"You are gonna find out who did this, aren't you?" I asked her a raising my eyebrows faking my surprise.

"Of course I am, because that's my job." She retorted not giving me the satisfaction, but I just rolled my eyes at her.

"Right." I murmured quietly.

"Not because you two want me to." She ensured us looking at Lucifer this time.

"Right." He said repeating me.

"First things last. Do you have any idea who had contact with her last night?" She turned back to Ty.

"Um, no, uh, no, but they asked me to get the... the guest list." He said giving a bunch of papers to Chloe.

"Oh, geez. 250 guests." She took a look at the final number. "You know what that means."

"Great party." Lucifer guessed grinning.

"250 suspects." She answered her own question ignoring his comment. "Now, can I talk to you for a second?" She asked me already grabbing my arm trying to take me away to be more private.

"If you must..." I murmured letting her to lead me.

"What are you doing Becca?" She asked me tiredly and for a moment I felt sorry. She was always the responsible one and she could never rested a minute. To be honest she was more like a mother to me than my real mother... Which meant she could drove me crazy immediately.

"Umm, trying to help you solving the case..." I answered in my as-the-matter-of-fact tone.

She sighed and took a deep breath before speaking again.

"Your life fell apart, and you're having a hard time finding your place again, trust me, I understand, I've been there, but this whole... Lucifer-thing is... it's so not you."

"Right, because you know me so well." I commented being inpatient. I hated pep talk, and it wasn't even a good one. You are better than this - Bullshit!

"Lucifer can't be trusted." She argued. "Please, don't ruin your life..."

"Who said I trust him?" I raised my voice. It sounded harsher than I meant, but it was true. I honestly had trust issues after the cheating part. "And don't worry. I'm not going to ruin my life, because someone already did it for me!" I yelled at her, then left. I was pretty upset, and decided to find Lucifer. I wanted do get out of here.

I was still scoffing when I bumped into him at the crime scene.

"Are you alright, love?" He asked me concerned. "You look disturbed." He gently rubbed my shoulders trying to catch my eye.

"Have I mentioned how my sister is a party pooper?" I looked at him adding a forced smile to my rhetorical question. His eyes softened and was able to comfort me right away.

"How can I cheer you up?" He asked me lowering his voice so only I could hear him while fixing an escaped lock from my messy bun. He completely left me speechless since I wasn't expecting him being so... Lucifer. It felt like time stopped for a moment. His fingers gently brushed against my face leaving my skin burn.

Then I managed to snap back to reality and found my distraction what saved my life:

"Uh, I'd be careful with that thing in the guest bedroom." I warned poor investigator who examined the couch with the UV light, probably trying to find some blood. That bedroom must have seen some pretty rough stuff...

"There's a good chance you'll go blind. Unspeakable acts." Added Lucifer releasing me turning his attention to the scene again.

"Stop interfering." Chloe stepped in and well, being that party pooper I've already told about.

"I'm helping." I argued. "You forget that my expertise is finding guilty people then give them the rightful punishment." I summed up my profession as a bounty hunter.

"And that's exactly what I do." Said Lucifer genuinely lighting up because of our common attribution. "Or, uh, did, at least." He added, and I nodded. None of us was doing it anymore...

"You want to do something?" She asked challenging. "Then help account for everyone who was at the party."

We headed to see the footage while Chloe briefly informed us about the first fact the coroner diagnosed.

"He puts the time of death between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m." She stopped then turned suspiciously to Lucifer. "Actually, is there someone who can vouch for your whereabouts at the time?"

"In fact, yes." He answered looking at me winking. I smiled back to him.

"I can tell you every little detail just to make sure that he's not lying." I offered innocently exactly knowing the effect of my words.

"I'll have someone else handle that, thank you." She said emotionless as we arrived to the ad-hoc computer room.

"So... a bona fide killer on the loose that needs to be punished. Time to punch in." Said Lucifer sensing the tension between us and we started to watch the record from last night.

"There she is." I told them.

"Do you know anyone here?" My sister asked Ty.

"No. Sorry." He admitted sadly, then explained. "I mean, people just show up to these things."

"Did anyone look suspicious?" She asked but I wasn't sure if she was just thinking loud.

"Where do we start, Detective?" Lucifer replied. "I mean, look at those big strong hands. Perfect for squeezing the life out of someone." He pointed on some poor guy. "Oh, ginger lad. Soulless bastards. Give even me the creeps. I...

"You need to sit with the witnesses." She interrupted him without hesitation.

"Haven't I proven myself extremely useful at detectiving?" He asked being a little offended.

"Actually, no, I don't need your help color-commentating. I need facts and hard evidence." She explained pushing him outside. "So unless you can help me with either, stay."

"But I don't want to be stuck out here with these miscreants." He tried to argue but I was pretty sure it's useless as a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest.

"These are your people." She finished then closed the door in front of him.

"Detective!" He called her in disbelief, but he had no other choice than staying outside.

I decided to leave too. I didn't really feel like staying. This day was already too much and it was barely noon.

"What are you doing?" Chloe as I started to the door where Lucifer was.

"Taking over the world..." I answered then closed the door behind me.

"Oh, you choose to investigate with me?" Lucifer asked cheering.

"Actually I was planning to go home..." I told him my real intentions. "But do you need me to take my shift tonight?"

"Yes, please, that would be lovely." He said understanding. "Maze will show you around." He said and I nodded.

"Thank you, Lucifer."

I packed my stuff and checked out from the hotel then headed to the Lux. Maze was already there preparing for the evening. She suggested to change my cloth to something more... revealing, using her phrase.

"Line up some shots, Becca, please." Asked me Lucifer noticing me as he stormed in the bar fuming. I've been already through on my first night at Lux. "Oh, hell, I may just take a bottle." He took it from my hand and set on a barstool. "Thank you."

"Let me guess, Chloe?" I asked being pretty sure she was the reason for his bad mood.

"Your sister is unbelievable." He confirmed then gulped a great portion of whiskey. "She arrested Ty for murdering Ali Thorne!"

"She did what?" I asked in disbelief. "She made a huge mistake, Ty isn't the one who committed the crime..."

Ty wasn't a murderous type. I knew people, especially when they were guilty. He was clear.

"Exactly!" He agreed drinking again.

"That was the LAPD." Maze came in and Lucifer got a false hope.

"Ah, was Detective Decker calling to apologize?" He asked. "Unless it involves lingerie, I don't accept."

"Financial Investigations Unit." Maze corrected his guess.

"Hmm?"

"Apparently, you destroyed the honeymoon suite at the Budget Hut in Tarzana last night."

I had to laugh, it's impossible.

"I'd rather return to the fires of Hell than spend a night in Tarzana." He said disgusting even the idea.

"And then, someone with your name and credit card skipped out on a $2,000 tab at Zany Wings." Maze continued seriously-looking, but her tone revealed she actually having fun.

"Do I look like I'd eat a Zany Wing?" He turned to me, but I just shook my head. I couldn't risk laughing in his face, so I stayed silent. "Someone is clearly masquerading as me! Rap battles and hot wings? You need to find this cheap knockoff and make him suffer... do you understand?" He turned back to Maze.

"Why?" She asked innocently. "You said it yourself... humans are fascinating, right? I can't wait to see what this one does next." She said teasing, then left again.

"Zany Wings." Lucifer repeated horrified then after a moment silence he continued. "It's not right! I mean, Budget Huts and Zany Wings?!" He drunk again. The half of the bottle was already gone and he wasn't intended to stop. "I mean, this malfeasant reprobate is diluting the Lucifer brand! Finally, I get my father's beef with graven images."

"Hey" I tried to get his attention stepping forward behind the counter. "It's okay." I stopped in front of him squeezing his shoulder for comfort. "I can help you find him. You know I'm pretty good at finding people." I added smiling confidently. He looked up at me and I saw his facial expression has changed.

"Yes, you are, my little huntress." He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. It took me aback at the beginning, but I eased soon enough.

"I think you're not taking me serious, Lucifer." I stated giggling.

"Oh, I take you serious more than you think." He said looking up at me without doubt. As I looked him in the eye, I knew he meant it. I took a deep breath as I wanted to react, but then I realized I have no idea what to say. Instead I just stared into his deep brown eyes slowly forgetting even my name...

"All right, then let's find out how to save Ty." I collected my thoughts in the end unwittingly smoothing his hair.

"Here." He handed me the whiskey finally releasing me. I hesitated but took the offer at last.

"Temptation your name is." I told to Lucifer then took a sip. He grinned wildly.

"Actually I have an idea..." He started then he told mi about Ali's phone. She received a call from Ty's agent. We decided to pay him a visit next morning.
