Decker Residence 6/3/2016 7:55 P.M.

"Hey, baby, you okay? You seem a little stressed out." Christine pulled Chloe closer as the two of them cuddled on the couch watching "Mad Men".

"I just have a feeling that Lucifer's gonna try to find a lead on his own. Maybe I should call him, make sure he doesn't do anything rash." Chloe reached for her phone, only to have it snatched away by Christine.

"Relax. You know him. He's changed. He's not gonna do anything stupid."

Lucifer's Apartment 6/3/2016 7:56 P.M.

Lucifer threw the piano towards his father, hitting God square in the chest before the instrument smashed into pieces. God picked up one of the legs that was broken off and swung it at Lucifer's head.

"Had enough, old man? Or do you need a bit more ass kicking?!" Lucifer kicked him at the shoulder, causing God to drop the piano piece and slugged his father across the jaw. "Feeling all high and mighty now?"

"You forget your place, you brat." God held up his hand, and a blast of light threw Lucifer to the bar, shattering the glass shelves and several bottles. Lucifer got up and started chucking shards at his father, who simply blocked them with a piece of piano wood. "I brought you from nothingness. I gave you life, purpose, being-" he was cut off by Lucifer grabbing his throat.

"... Yes... You did... Which is why it hurt MORE when you TOSSED ME AWAY!" Lucifer hurled God towards the balcony, hitting it, but only cracking the glass.

"You never understood! You could never see the bigger picture Samael!" God got close to Lucifer, only to receive a punch in the face.

"My. Name. Is. LUCIFER!" the devil yelled, punching him after each word, and then he dropped the facade. Lucifer assumed his true form, a red/black burnt man with scales and claws and two giant black wings like a bat. "This is what you made me. This is what the flames of damnation did to me when I first got to Hell!"

"... My son... you don't understand. Hell wasn't a punishment. It was training. I was preparing you!" Lucifer grabbed him and slammed him to the wall, holding God by the throat.

"For what? To burn forever, in the pit of torment, like it said in that stupid book you had written?!" Lucifer grew his claws and lit them on fire, getting ready to strike God's heart.

"FOR THE THRONE!" his father yelled out, and Lucifer stopped his hand mid-strike. He released God and shifted back into a man in a suit.

"... What do you mean? Why did you say that? Michael will get the throne."

"Michael is a warrior. He fights for heaven, but he doesn't understand the burden of ruling. You do. I sent you to Hell so you could learn that burden, and to see what evil is truly like. And I let you go to Earth so you could see what good was like, and to learn humility, compassion, selflessness. And you did." Lucifer walked away, trying to comprehend what he just heard.

"...So, all of this... Hell, Earth, that was... training?! You actually want ME on the throne?"

"Yes. Michael is stubborn, his pride and arrogance are the same as yours once were. He'll never take the throne out of sheer vanity. You are my only choice... Lucifer... the lightbringer." God walked to his son and put his hand on Lucifer's shoulder. "When you're ready... the throne will be waiting for you." And with that, he walked out, leaving Lucifer standing in a trashed apartment and amazed at what he just heard.

"... The throne..." RING RING. RING RING. He grabbed his cell phone off the floor, and hit "Talk". "Hello?"

"Lucifer, it's me. We got a new lead. There was another gang that bought drugs from the victims. I'm heading there now, but you're closer than I am. Meet me as soon as you can." Chloe spilled out, and Lucifer received a text with an address on it.

"... Finally. Let's go snatch a bad guy."

L.A. 6/3/2016 8:05 P.M.

The Black Spiders gang sat around a large table piled high with cash and drugs of all kinds, laughing and hanging out. Then they noticed the guy in the suit walking towards them.

"Excuse me. Do any of you know anything about the murders of a Mr Fraser and Ms Nolan?" at this, one of the guys stood up, and took off running. Lucifer charged after him, going through hallways and rooms, until the perp finally ran into a dead end.

"I love a good hunt. but the fun's over... Was it you? Did you pull the trigger?" he advanced, and the perp pulled out a gun and shot point-blank three times.

"... Well, the detective isn't nearby." Lucifer made his face turn red and charred, and the guy dropped the gun in horror.

" What the... Oh, God."

"No... Not even close." Lucifer grabbed him and held him against the wall.

(5 minutes later)

Detective Decker rushed into the place, pointing her gun at the gang. "L.A.P.D. Did you see a guy in a suit-" she was cut off when the entire gang pointed in the direction where Lucifer headed. She walked down, and found a room with a person tied to a chair.

"Oh, detective. Found our guy, had him gift-wrapped for you. Name's Marcus Fieldman." Lucifer explained, as Chloe untied Marcus, only to cuff him and read him his rights. The two walked out, and Lucifer snatched a joint from the gang as he passed them.
