Chapter Twenty-Five
Amenadiel runs into the condo with a look of fear and he searches for Lucifer or Alexandra. He finds them intertwined in their bed, naked, with their sheets only covering their waist.
"Lucifer!" Amenadiel shouts. Lucifer panics and glares at his brother standing at the end of his bed.
"What do you want?" Lucifer growls. He sits up, letting Alexandra go from his arms, and rubs his face gently. "Could it not wait until after ten?"
"Charlie is missing," Amenadiel panics. Lucifer gets to his feet quickly to get dressed, forgetting that Alexandra is asleep in the bed. He gets his pants on before going to wake her up.
"Darling, I hate to disturb your sleep, but there is an emergency," Lucifer says softly. Alexandra groans as she rolls onto her back, which makes Lucifer smile widely.
"It can wait until I get to my office," Alexandra groans.
"You will get up now!" Amenadiel commands. Alexandra sits up quickly and holds her knife at him. "Why are you sleeping with a knife under your pillow?"
"What in the fuck do you want?" Alexandra snaps.
"It would seem the little human that is my nephew has gone missing," Lucifer says while he finishes getting dressed. Alexandra scrambles to her feet to get dressed, but stops to grab her phone and make a call.
"We do not have time to make a phone call!" Amenadiel exclaims.
"Decker, get Espinoza and Lopez in now. Put an APB out on Charlie and tell me once it goes through. Do it now!" Alexandra orders. She pulls on Lucifer's undershirt and sprints to the elevator with her boots and holsters in her hands.
"What is she doing?" Amenadiel asks, turning to Lucifer.
"Her job," Lucifer grumbles. Alexandra pulls her boots on as she runs to get her bike, but is hit on the back of her head. She falls to the ground, unconscious, and Dromos emerges from the shadow. Lucifer comes down, looking for her, but notices her bike is still there and she not anywhere to be found.
"Lucifer, where is she?" Amenadiel asks.
"I don't know," Lucifer panics. He looks around frantically and begins to panic more. "Alexandra!"
Alexandra wakes to a baby crying and she opens her eyes to see Charlie in Dromos' arms. She groans as she looks around and notices her arms are tied behind her. One of the henchmen drags her to Dromos' feet and he smiles widely down at her.
"I told you to leave him," Dromos says.
"Asshole," Alexandra groans. She notices blood in her mouth and her head is throbbing. "What did you do to, fucker?"
"Language around the child," Dromos says. "You will be the surrogate for our new king until he is of age. I am taking you back with me whether you want to or not."
"You cannot kill me," Alexandra laughs. "I am immortal and I was once an angel."
"Even better," Dromos says. He kicks her in the gut and laughs when she coughs in pain. "One of you go to get the vial from Lucifer's and bring it to me."
"Yes sir," two of the henchmen say before leaving the church.
"Do not even try to get away, Lucifer is not going to find you in time," Dromos says.
"You do not know him like I do," Alexandra groans. She passes out not longer after and mind screams out to anyone in heaven to help.
Chloe gives Lucifer and Amenadiel a cup of coffee to clam the two men. Dan and Ella are going over the photos that were taken at both scenes. Maze walks in and rushes over to them with fear in her eyes.
"Anything?" Maze asks.
"No, just now we have to look for Alexandra as well," Chloe says.
"What?!" Maze shouts. Lucifer walks away, gripping the coffee cup, and he looks at the photos of her bike and the blood found at the scene. He closes his mind, thinking of her smiling at him and he tries not to lose his temper. Ella walks over to him and clears her throat to get her attention.
"Lucifer?" Ella says timidly. Lucifer turns to her with a forced smile, trying to look tough.
"Ah, Ms Lopez, how can I help?" Lucifer says, his voice cracking a bit.
"I was wondering if there is anyone that might want both Alexandra and Charlie," Ella asks.
"Not really," Lucifer lies. "Just find her, please."
"We are doing everything that we can," Ella says with a sad smile. She goes back Daniel and Lucifer walks over to Maze.
"Maze, Dromos is here and I believe he might have Alexandra. He has asked her to leave me to make me go back to hell. If you find him, you will find her," Lucifer says softly.
"I may be able to find Charlie at the same time," Maze says. She leaves quickly to follow the silent order.
