It turned out sending Eve away was not as easy as Lucifer hoped. He'd tried to get her a ride, but the driver had shown up and attacked them. Someone was after some sort of necklace and thought Eve had it.

Lucifer was more than a little tempted to let Eve fend for herself. Her mess shouldn't be his problem, but he knew she would not leave him alone until this was over. She'd already begged over and over for his help. He doubted it would stop there. So, he made a deal with her. He would get her out of this and she would leave LA permanently.

After finding out that the man who last had the necklace Eve was attacked over was dead, Lucifer took her to meet with the detective. He was hoping she could help him with this problem. He didn't particularly want to see the detective, given her recent betrayal, but she could help him wrap this up quickly and get Eve out of his life faster. While it would be uncomfortable and strained, he could handle seeing the detective. He didn't know how much longer he could stomach being in Eve's presence.

"So, what are we doing here?" Eve asked as she grabbed on to Lucifer's arm with both hands.

Lucifer immediately pulled his arm away from her. "Keeping your hands off my person was part of our deal! We're here to see a police detective. She can help clear this mess up. And remember, you're to leave town the moment it's over."

"I don't understand why my being here is such a problem for you," Eve said.

Lucifer chose not to respond to that. It was clear to him that nothing was going to make Eve believe that what she'd done to him had been wrong. She was worse than Adam in her own way. Adam was much more brutal and cold with him, but at least he didn't act like what he did was alright. He simply didn't care how wrong it was. That was certainly bad enough, but Lucifer found that Eve believing what they did was okay made it even worse. She acted like they were in some sort of relationship, instead of him being their victim.

Lucifer led the way into the police station. He looked around and spotted the detective at her desk. Taking a deep breath, he made his way over to her.

Chloe looked up after feeling a presence by her desk. She looked up and was shocked to see Lucifer there with a woman. After their last conversation, she didn't think she'd be seeing him much. He'd kind of made it clear to her that he was done with her. She couldn't exactly blame him for that. "Lucifer. What are you doing here? I didn't think you'd be back."

"I wasn't planning on it. Unfortunately, I need your help with something," Lucifer said.

At that moment, Eve stepped forward a bit and placed a hand on Lucifer's shoulder. "Hi. You must be Lucifer's detective friend."

Chloe watched as Lucifer quickly moved out of the woman's reach. He came over and stood by the side of Chloe's desk instead of right in front of it, which was strange for Lucifer. She didn't really have time to think about it though. She recognized the woman from a video she'd seen of her murder victim. "I've seen you before. You were one of the last people to see my murder victim alive."

"Pablo. I didn't have anything to do with that, and I don't know what happened to the necklace people are looking for either," Eve said.

"That's why we're here, Detective. I realize this will be awkward, but I'm trying to retrieve this necklace so that Eve can be on her way without fear," Lucifer said. Once again, he wondered why he was helping Eve when he couldn't care less what was done to her, but again, he decided that it was the best way to get rid of her. Once he helped her, she could just go. Short of turning her over to those who might hurt her, which he was reluctant to do even after what she did to him, he saw no other option.

Chloe continued to look at the woman. "Your name is Eve."

"Uh huh. Lucifer and I go way back. Farther back than anyone can go," Eve said.

Chloe looked between Lucifer and Eve. "We're not talking about the Eve, are we? As in the first woman to exist. Your ex-girlfriend, Lucifer?"

"No!" Lucifer snapped immediately. "She was not my girlfriend!"

"Oh, I just kind of assumed that the whole forbidden fruit thing was a metaphor," Chloe said.

"It was," Eve confirmed.

"Will you help, Detective? I assure you, I won't bother you again afterwards," Lucifer said.

"Uh, first I need to ask Eve here some questions about her interactions with Pablo. You'll have to come with me, Eve," Chloe said.

"Sure," Eve said.

Chloe stood up and led her towards the interrogation rooms.

Lucifer, meanwhile, began to relax out of Eve's presence. At least he'd get a few moments away from her.

About an hour later, Lucifer found himself by the vending machines. He was growing more antsy by the moment. They weren't getting anywhere with Pablo's killer or the necklace. Perhaps he was being impatient, as it had only been an hour, but he was anxious for this to be over.

Eve continued to inflict herself on Lucifer. She kept breaking his touching rule. He really shouldn't be surprised. It wasn't as if she'd ever respected his boundaries in the past.

As if on cue, Lucifer felt a hand on his shoulder. He immediately shook it off. "I told you not to touch…!" He stopped mid-rant when he turned around and saw that it was the detective, not Eve, that had been touching him.

Chloe put her hands up in surrender. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

"No, I apologize, Detective. I didn't know it was you," Lucifer said.

"Are you okay?" Chloe asked. He'd only been there an hour, but he had been acting very strange in that time. He seemed very uncomfortable around Eve. She kept trying to touch him and he would shy away. She had never seen him do that with a woman before. She supposed it could be bad memories of having tempted her in the Garden, but that didn't seem likely. She'd seen the look on his face when he'd look at her or when she touched him. He looked physically ill. She'd seen something like that a few times in her career, and it never meant something good.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm not sure why you'd care though," Lucifer said bitterly.

Chloe chose to ignore his last statement. She was far too worried about him to go there. "You're not acting like yourself. You don't like Eve much, do you?"

"It doesn't matter. She'll be gone once the case was solved," Lucifer said before walking away.

Once the case was solved, Chloe returned to the precinct to tell Eve. The woman had wanted to go with her and Lucifer, but Chloe wouldn't allow it. Eve was not a cop or a consultant. She did not belong in the field. Lucifer seemed to be relieved by Chloe's decision, which further concerned her.

Chloe found Eve at her desk and approached her. "The case is solved. The Necklace was retrieved. You should be fine now."

Eve smiled. "Great. Thanks for your help. Where's Lucifer?"

"He went home," Chloe said. She got the impression Lucifer didn't want to see Eve even one more time. He relaxed much more when they were away from her. He was still somewhat tense because things weren't good between them, but he did better without Eve. "He said you'd be leaving LA. Good luck."

"Actually, I think I'll probably stay for a while," Eve said.

"I got the impression that you agreed to leave if Lucifer helped you," Chloe said. Lucifer hadn't come out and said it, but he made it clear Eve was supposed to go once this was over. It made her think that was part of the deal.

"Oh, I'm sure he didn't mean that. He was just on edge because of what was going on," Eve said.

"No, Eve, I think he did mean it, and I think you need to stay away from him," Chloe said. Her tone made it clear that it was a demand, not a suggestion.

"Oh, are you and Lucifer together now. I didn't realize," Eve said in an unhappy tone.

Chloe chose not to confirm or deny that. If thinking they were together would get Eve out of Lucifer's life, so be it. "Eve, I don't know what you did to Lucifer, but you need to leave him alone. It's clear you've done a lot of damage."

"I haven't done…"

"I've known Lucifer for over three years! I have never once seen him repulsed by a beautiful woman touching him. It had to take something awful to get that kind of reaction from him," Chloe said.

"He's just confused," Eve said.

Chloe felt sick. The more she learned of Eve, and Lucifer's reaction to her, the more certain she was that something very bad happened between them. She could even take a guess as to what it was. She didn't know how it was possible given who Lucifer was, and she hoped she was wrong, but as a cop, she'd seen all these signs before. "Stay the hell away from him. I helped you today because he asked me to, but I can easily go from helping you to hurting you. Whatever you did to Lucifer, you will not do it again."

Eve didn't respond. She looked at the woman and then walked away.
