About a week later, Lucifer found himself packing up Chloe's things with the help of Amenadiel. He hadn't wanted to do it, but he couldn't just hold onto them forever. As much as it hurt, he had to let her go. That meant letting her things go too. He needed to do it, not just for himself, but for Trixie too. He feared that if he kept everything, a part of the child would be waiting for her mother to return, something that would never happen.

Trixie suddenly walked into the room to see Lucifer and Amenadiel packing. "Where are you gonna take Mommy's stuff?" Lucifer explained to her that they had to pack her mommy's stuff away because they couldn't keep it around forever, but he didn't tell her what they were gonna do with it.

Lucifer turned to her. "We're going to take it to a storage. It's a place where people put things that are important to them that they can't keep in their homes," he explained. He knew he should probably get rid of at least some of it, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead, he would keep it all safe in case Trixie decided she wanted any of it someday.

"So, you're not gonna throw any of it away?" Trixie asked. She was glad to hear that. She didn't want her mother's stuff gone forever.

"No, of course not. We're going to keep it all safe," Lucifer promised.

"Good," Trixie said.

Just then, they all heard Maze's voice. "Hey, Lucifer! That dick lieutenant is back!"

Lucifer sighed and walked out towards the kitchen. Maze was there with Pierce. "What do you want? I thought once I stopped working with the LAPD, I'd be rid of you." He couldn't stand the lieutenant since Chloe's death. He was never all that fond of him, but since Chloe died, it got worse. All he could think about was that Pierce was the one to send Chloe and Daniel away on the plane that killed them.

"I see you're still as friendly as ever, Lucifer. I stopped by your penthouse, but you weren't there, and neither were any of your things. One of your employees said you moved out," Pierce said. He had actually been happy when he heard Lucifer was gone. He thought that meant Lucifer returned to Hell. That solved part of his problem. But then the guy he talked to said he still ran the club, and then told him where Lucifer was living.

"Are you just uttering useless facts, or do you have a point?" Lucifer asked in a bored tone.

"I was just surprised," Pierce said.

Trixie cam out at that moment and went to Lucifer. "Why's the man who took Mommy and Daddy away here?"

"Kid, I'm sorry about your mom and dad, but it's not my fault they died. I couldn't be expected to know about an accident that would happen," Pierce said. Decker's kid unnerved him a lot. She didn't know what he'd done, but she still blamed him. She blamed him for her parents being gone. That made him really uncomfortable because he was actually responsible.

"There is no reason for you to address the child, Lieutenant," Lucifer said before turning to Trixie. "Spawn, go back and help Amenadiel. He should be almost through. Then we will go for ice cream, like I promised."

"Okay," Trixie said. She glared at her parents' boss and then left the room.

"Did you come her for a reason, or did you just want to annoy us and upset and eight-year-old?" Maze asked. She hoped he was not here to tell them that the crash wasn't an accident. That would defeat the purpose of her keeping it from Lucifer.

"I came to let you know that they finally finished IDing all the bodies from the crash. Espinoza's body was identified a couple of weeks ago. I figured I'd wait until they found Decker's before I told you," Pierce said. Really, he was just waiting until he could arrange for a body that he could use to pass as Decker. Even for him, that took time.

"And?" Lucifer asked with trepidation. He wasn't sure why he was so on edge. He'd already known that Chloe was dead. He supposed, however, that there was a small sliver of hope still left though.

"They identified it a couple of days ago," Pierce lied.

Lucifer closed his eyes sadly. His heart sank. "I want to see her."

Pierce had been watching Lucifer's face. Due to the fact that he could find no trace of Chloe Decker, he wondered if Lucifer knew she was alive and was hiding her. That theory was shot to hell when he saw Lucifer's face just now. He was devastated all over again. He didn't know she was alive. He was grieving her death. "Lucifer, there's nothing to see. The explosion rendered the bodies as nothing but skeletons. That is for the ones that weren't in pieces. They had to identify her through dental records."

Lucifer flinched, but refused to allow Pierce to see his pain anymore than he already had. "Fine. You can leave now," he said before heading out of the room.

Maze pointed to the door and walked the Lieutenant out. Normally she wouldn't bother, but she wanted to talk to him without Lucifer overhearing. "Anything else come out about the crash."

"Like what?" Pierce asked.

"Like how it happened?" Maze asked in an annoyed tone.

"Oh, right. Yeah, it was faulty wiring. And then when the plane crashed, other problems arose that caused the explosion," Pierce told her.

"Faulty wiring," Maze repeated. She knew for a fact that wasn't what happened, and she also knew Pierce knew that. What the hell was his game?

"Yeah. It's rare, but it can happen. It was just a terrible accident," Pierce said before heading to his car.

Maze watched suspiciously as the lieutenant left. He'd just lied through his teeth. He knew that crash was no accident. The report about it had been on his desk. Maze had to wonder if Trixie was right, and Pierce was responsible. Why else would he lie?

Lucifer was sitting with Trixie outside of an ice cream shop as they both ate ice cream sundaes.

"Lucifer, why does that man keep coming to our house?" Trixie asked.

"To annoy us, and I suppose because it's his job," Lucifer said. He added the last part as an afterthought.

"Well, he shouldn't come. He took Mommy and Daddy away," Trixie said.

"Perhaps we shouldn't blame him for that," Lucifer said. That was what Chloe would say anyway. She would say that Pierce wasn't responsible for the accident. Somewhere in him, Lucifer knew he wasn't responsible either, but it was hard to get around the fact that if he hadn't ordered Daniel and Chloe on that plane, they'd still be alive.

"But he made them go," Trixie said.

"I know, but he's only mortal. He can't see the future or anything. He couldn't know what would happen. Your mother wouldn't want you to blame him, would she?" Lucifer asked.

Trixie shook her head after a minute. "Mommy would say that accidents are no one's fault. Do I have to say 'sorry'?"

"You should only apologize if you are indeed sorry," Lucifer said.

"Will you be made if I don't?" Trixie asked. Her mom and dad said things like that too. They'd say that it was up to her if she wanted to apologize, but she knew they always meant that she needed to. Usually though, she was sorry. She just didn't like apologizing. It wasn't very fun. This time, she wasn't sorry.

"I would only be upset if you apologized and didn't mean it. You should never lie, even when apologizing to someone," Lucifer told her.

"I won't blame him anymore, but I don't want to apologize. I don't like him," Trixie said.

"That makes two of us, child. You probably won't see him again anyway," Lucifer said.

"Good," Trixie said.

"There is something we must discuss. Do you recall me telling you about how they needed to find what remained of your mother and father?" Lucifer asked.

"Uh huh. You said that when people die, there bodies stay here, and that the police were still looking for Mommy and Daddy's bodies. Did they find them?" Trixie asked.

"Yes. That's why Lieutenant Pierce came over today."

"What are they gonna do with them?" Trixie asked.

"They will put them in the graves that were made for them," Lucifer answered. When Chloe and Daniel were declared dead, he arranged for burial plots and headstones, but the graves were currently empty.

"Do we have to do anything?" Trixie asked.

"No. I will arrange for people to do that for us. We don't need to do anything. I just thought you should know," Lucifer said.

"Okay," Trixie said. It didn't really matter much to her. Her parents were already gone. This didn't change any of that.

"Go on and finish your ice cream. We should go home soon," Lucifer said.

Trixie nodded started eating again.

Chloe was in the… she'd call it the apartment she was staying in, trying to work out who was trying to kill her. She'd been gone for over a month, and she was not pleased about it. Her daughter and Lucifer spent over a month thinking she was dead, while was stuck waiting for someone to find an answer. Well, she was done waiting. If she wanted out of there, she was going to have to figure out how to do it herself.

Chloe soon hard a 'swish' sound. She was used to it by now. It was the sound of an angel flying in. Sure enough, she looked up and saw Raziel. "Hi, Raziel."

"Hello, Chloe. I've just stopped by to see if you need anything," Raziel said.

"Not unless you've got answers for me yet," Chloe said.

"Not yet. We're doing everything we can," Raziel assured her.

"Well, then I will have to do what I can to help with that," Chloe said as she began writing on a piece of paper in front of her. She'd asked Raziel for a pad of paper and pen the last time he came by.

"What do you mean? What are you doing?" he wondered.

"Writing a list of people of interest. Anyone that's remotely involved in what happened," Chloe said.

"No one expects you to find the answer. Don't take this the wrong way, but you're only human. What's going on is way beyond that," Raziel said.

"Maybe, but they only way I stop myself from going crazy here is by being useful and doing what I do best. Celestial investigation or not, it's still an investigation," Chloe said.

Raziel walked over and peered at the piece of paper. There were two columns. One was marked 'victims' and the other was marked 'suspect'. He noticed that his brother was marked under the victim's column, along with Chloe and her ex-husband. "Why is Samael under victims. He wasn't injured.

"He's still a victim, and he was the motivation. It's always important to note that," Chloe said.

"I'm glad you don't blame him," Raziel said.

"Why should I blame Lucifer? Like I said, he's a victim," Chloe said. As far as she was concerned, Lucifer had been just as wronged here as she was, and it had potential to get worse for him.

"Many would see him as being the cause. If you didn't know him, no one would be trying to kill you," Raziel said.

"If I didn't know him, I would've been dead a long time ago," Chloe said. She in no way held any grudges against Lucifer. She couldn't deny being overwhelmed after learning he was actually the Devil, but she was coming to terms with that, especially when she knew the reason he was kicked out of Heaven. It really wasn't on him. It wasn't his fault his father couldn't handle teenage rebellion.

Raziel smiled and looked at all other column on the notepad. "Are all of these human suspects?"

"Uh, despite the heading they're under, I wouldn't consider all of them suspects. They're really just people I knew would be on that plane," Chloe said. For instance, Maze and Ella were on the list, but she didn't consider either of them suspects. She added them because she was trying to take anything personal out of the equation as she tried to determine who was responsible.

"A human can't be responsible for this," Raziel said.

"And what if one of them isn't human?" Chloe asked. As far as she knew they were all human, aside from Maze, but she wouldn't really know any different. The Maze thing was another thing that through her for a loop. It occurred to her not long after she was told the truth that her roommate was actually a demon. It scared her for a bit, but then she remembered that Maze had ample opportunity to hurt her and never did.

"You think someone is posing as a human? But wouldn't Samael have noticed?" he asked.

"They're hiding from your father. You think they can't hide from Lucifer?" Chloe asked.

Raziel had to admit that she had a point. It shouldn't be possible for whoever it was to shield themselves from his father, but it was. Anything was possible. "I suppose you're right. So, who are all these people?"

"Like I said, they're people who knew I'd be on the plane, which aren't many. A few people from the station, my roommate, and my babysitter. And of course, Lucifer, but for obvious reasons, we all know he had no part in it. Maze, I'm sure didn't either, and I highly doubt the babysitter did, but I'm trying to think about this unbiasedly."

"Let me help. Start with your roommate," Raziel said.

"You'd suspect her. She's a demon, but she's had many chances to hurt me over the years. She hasn't. She's a friend. If anything, I almost pity whoever did this if Maze gets her hands on them. The next, my daughter's sitter, Nicole. I can't imagine she'd do this, but I'll keep her as a possibility.

"Have you known her long?" Raziel asked.

"About six months. My last sitter moved away, and I had to get a new one," Chloe told him.

"It's likely that whoever did this hasn't been around long. Maybe a year at the most," Raziel said.

Chloe circled Nicole's name. She also circled Ella's, a new detective's, and Pierce's. All of them had been in her life a year or less. She didn't suspect Ella for a second, but again, she wanted to remain in detective mode and keep it unbiased. "I've known all of these people no longer than a year."

"Who would you say is the most likely?" Raziel asked.

"I have no reason to suspect any of them. None of them have had problems with me or Lucifer," she said.

"It's possible that none of these people did it."

"Yeah, well, it's the only lead I have right now. I think I'm going to go rest for a while," Chloe said before standing up and heading to the bedroom.
