Here is the new chapter.
Sorry for the long time! I promise I'll try to not have such a long time before the next one!
HUGE thanks to ManuHerz79 for the beta :).

Previously in One Hell of a Sting :
Lucifer and Chloe discovered a secret place and things are about to get down ;).
***
Just as the door closes, Lucifer grabs Chloe's hand to bring her against him once more, already missing her touch. She happily complies and returns his kiss with a fervour equal to his. He pushes her against the door and breathes heavily as he feels her breasts press into his chest. Chloe - mirroring his arousal - takes in a sharp breath, as their groins touch. She slowly walks them backwards until his lower back hits the kitchen counter. He loses his balance for a blink and grips her right hip harder in response to steady himself. He swiftly turns them around so Chloe can now sit on the counter and steps in-between her legs to continue his exploration of her body. The Detective brings her hands behind her to give him access but in doing so, pushes one of the mugs off the marble surface and it crashes loudly on the wooden floor. They both pause as they hear and see the broken ceramic pieces on the floor, but it takes Lucifer barely a second to find his previous spot on Chloe's pulse. She almost discards the thought of being caught as she feels his soft lips on her skin, and manages to voice part of it.
"Ella..." she whispers.
Lucifer smiles as he trails back up to her ear. "Fast asleep," he counters.
"Mics…" Chloe adds, now rendered to one-syllable words as the rational part of her brain battles with the horny one.
"Let them hear," Lucifer starts. "Maybe they can even learn a thing or two," he jokes. However, his last comment is what gives the advantage to rational Chloe. He senses the shift in her demeanour. "Shall we take this upstairs?" he adds, so low she barely hears him.
She nods and hops down from the counter as he lets her go. She takes his hand and makes a shush sign with her fingers. He smirks.
"Sneaking upstairs like teenagers," he replies as he happily follows. He grabs her waist before she can get up the stairs. "Or like a forbidden lover," he adds. "Lucifer likes," he finishes as he lets her lead the way. He watches in awe as she sways her hips obscenely while she climbs up the stairs and winks at him before she walks into their room. "You minx!" he breathes out before he follows her and closes the door behind them.
As soon as the Devil steps into the room, Chloe backs him against the closed door and Lucifer can't stop a surprised "humpf" as his back connects with the rather thin wood. Chloe pushes his jacket off his shoulders, their heavy breathing the only sound in the room. He takes the upper hand in turn, fully enjoying this little power play. He slides his hands down her body to pause on her hips, fingers barely a graze on her skin before he slips them under her top. Chloe obeys his silent incentive and lifts her arms so he can take her top over her head and discard it somewhere in the room. Her bra is the next item to go and she's left exposed to him from the waist up.
His lips find her skin anew and he trails them over her pulse, lingering there to leave the faintest mark, fade enough so the outside world wouldn't see, but also visible enough so that they are both reminded of it. He knows the Detective will probably complain about this later on, but he doesn't care, and clearly, right now this feels too good for her to say anything as well. While he continues his way and follows her left shoulder blade with his lips, he feels her deft fingers undoing his shirt and when she's done, he removes his hand from her only for the necessary time for the garment to fall to his feet. He resumes his previous position before he slides his hands towards the centre of her jeans. He opens the button and pushes them down her legs. But the zipper gets stuck and he lets out a weird noise, in-between a frustrated sigh, and a surprised chuckle. Chloe laughs at the unexpected sound.
Lucifer huffs as she mocks him. "You know what?" he starts. "I think I much prefer you in a dress."
"Do you now?" she replies, smiling. "However, it's much less convenient," she adds, a grin on her face.
"I disagree," he counters. "I would say it all depends on the point of view."
He finally manages to undo the stuck zipper, almost ripping it off and quickly slides the trousers down her legs, only to be blocked by her shoes. Chloe tries to get her shoes off but they're stuck in the legs of her jeans, almost off, but not completely, making the removal of both items impossible. She lifts her left leg in an attempt to force her foot out of the knot, but fails and instead loses her balance and ends up grabbing the Devil by the arm to steady herself. This, also, doesn't turn out as it should have and she brings the Devil down to the floor with her. Lucifer just has the time to turn so that he lands on his back before Chloe does. She ends up on top of him, hands on both sides of his head, face barely an inch from his.
There's a moment of silence, uncertain and heavy with the previous sexual tension before they both burst out laughing at the dorkiness of their situation. When they calm down, Lucifer smiles as his hands rest on her hips.
"Well that's a first for me," he says, still chuckling. But soon the air shifts for a completely different type of playfulness and his eyes darken as he takes in the almost naked siren on top of him, pressing in in all the right places.
He switches their position so she now lies below him, her trousers at her ankles. He quickly gets rid of the last obstacle and finally slides her jeans down. As he stands up, he also removes his shoes, a smirk on his face. He drops them down with purpose. "I will not make the same mistake twice," he jokes.
His grin widens as he comes back down to her feet, but this time, it's filled with intent and leaves very little doubt of what he plans to do. He slowly makes his way up her legs, alternating between right and left to make sure all her nerves there are fully awakened. He pauses at the junction right behind her knee where the skin is the thinnest, nibbles lightly, before he moves up, lips on her inner thighs as his fingers trace the outside. He stops right as he reaches her already very hot centre. He exhales heavily, almost sad to leave before he continues up to tease her near her hip bone. He smiles when he hears the disappointed sigh from Chloe as he moves further away from where she wants him most. She tries to hide it and clears her throat but he catches it nonetheless. He travels on, avoiding on purpose all her most sensitive areas along the way, and finally arrives between her breasts. Chloe can feel his grin against her skin and resists the urge to grab his perfectly styled hair to pull him where she's already grown desperate for him.
Lucifer brings his leg in-between hers to tease her, barely there and remaining almost still. Enough to make her feel the contact, but yet not enough for it to have any real impact, apart from building her anticipation of what's to come. Chloe shifts her hips to have more friction, but each time Lucifer adapts his position. He finally takes one of her nipples between his lips and Chloe can't stop the low moan leaving her throat as she feels - finally - more than a ghostly touch. All her nerves fire up at the same time.
Despite knowing exactly what he was doing, Lucifer can't help the rush of pleasure straight to his groin at her reaction, and the pride he feels at seeing his Detective in this state. He had done this many times, but this feels like the first time - like everything he did with her lately - and he has a feeling things would only get beyond perfect as Chloe learns in more detail what makes him tick. And he couldn't wait to have her torture him same as he did he because he knows she'll get back to him for this.
He stops his train of thoughts to focus on the moment and the beauty under his body. He moves his lips to her other breast, fingers getting closer and closer to her most sensitive spot. Chloe somehow manages to recall, even if her mind seems like in a daze, that they are being watched - or rather listened to - and that she won't be able to hold in her excitement any longer as Lucifer traces his tongue around her second nipple. She really tries to keep her next moan in, but barely manages to turn it down so that it wouldn't be too obvious for the listener. Her fingers find their way to her lover's hair and what she thought would be a "Stop" gesture turns out to be a "Don't you dare stop" motion as she grips his hair harder than she thought she would. Lucifer lets out a laugh as he hears her holding another sigh in. Lucifer chuckles. "This is going to be very fun," he whispers against her skin, his voice very low.
As he finally reaches her wet centre, Chloe finds the necessary will in her to stop him. She reluctantly moves her fingers from his hair to his shoulder and taps him. He lifts his head, half of him already knows what she's going to say, and half of him hopes he is wrong. When he meets her eyes, he sees the deep desire in them and has troubles looking away, bewitched by her. Then she slowly gestures towards the mic Dan installed earlier on. Chloe sits up and entangles herself from him.
The Devil gets the message and stands up. He extends his hand to Chloe, now fully naked - except for her panties - not sure if this meant the end of their moment. He makes no move to touch her once more, as he knows that if he does, he probably won't be able to stop, as it took a lot of willpower this time around. He tries to hide his "disappointment" at their fun cut short but is pretty bad at it. Chloe looks at him, weirdly mischievous, although the Devil can't tell if it's because her pupils are still fully blown, or because he wanted to see her desire in her eyes.
Chloe turns around, unashamed of her almost naked state. "I think I'll go take a shower," she says, her tone neutral and in complete contradiction with her body language.
Lucifer is lost with her mixed signals and doesn't know what to do or say. He decides to go for the safe option and replies. "Okay, I'll be…" he starts as Chloe heads for the bathroom. But before she's out of view she turns back to him, removes her underwear and drops it provocatively on the floor. She winks at the Devil as she steps into the shower, giving him one last grin, and the smile he gives her in return as he realises she expects him to join sends a renewed jolt of arousal straight to her pussy. "I guess I'll be downstairs then," he finally finishes, as he opens his suit trousers. He puts them on the bed nearby and walks back to the door, opening the door and closing it to pretend he left the room to go downstairs. Then he steps out of the view from the ensuite bathroom to make Chloe wait a bit.
The detective lets a couple of seconds pass to give Lucifer time to join her but is slightly surprised when she doesn't see him follow her. She peeks at the corner and calls out to him. She waits a bit more before she returns to the shower stall. She could have sworn she saw him start to take off his trousers, but then again, she heard the door open and close. Maybe her clues to invite him subtly were not as obvious as she originally thought. But then again it was Lucifer and he'd been known to be a bit oblivious before. She almost asks him to join her plainly, but then remembers they were listened to. And no matter how good her explanation is, she'd have a hard time to justify this to her colleagues and Dan. She takes one last look and as she hears nothing finally turns on the showerShe sets the heat of the shower to the maximum her skin can bear and the room is filled with thick steam in less than a minute.
" Well too bad for you then, and me too, a bit, " she thinks.
She happily steps under the spray and lets the hot water ease her muscles. She starts to relax more and more and feels her whole body melt. She closes her eyes to get lost entirely in the sensation and doesn't really react as she faintly hears the slide of a door, her brain almost turned off. It's only when she feels some steam escape the stall and a woosh of colder air on her skin that she opens her eyes to see Lucifer standing in the door frame. She smiles as she sees him and realises that she had been more disappointed than she thought when he didn't show up. She steps back to give him some room. Lucifer nonchalantly walks in and brings his lips to her ears. The heat suddenly goes up a notch, under the combined effect of the steam and the Devil's presence. She can feel him.
"You thought I left, didn't you?" His voice is barely audible with the shower running in the background. "Why, Detective, did I sense a bit of disappointment?"
Chloe nods and leans further into his touch. She chuckles. "I may have doubted your detective skills for a minute," she replies. "And I was a bit disappointed, and not only because I was going to shower on my own. I thought my clues were pretty obvious, but then again, it's you, so..." she taunts.
"And what is that supposed to mean exactly, Detective ?" he emphasises her nickname, as he brings her even closer, his arousal pressing against her lower back.
Chloe lets out a deep breath before she answers him. "Well you have been known to be a bit oblivious to the rest of the world and follow your own code from time to time." Her voice is as casual as she can make it, given her situation.
"I admit I can be unfamiliar to some of your foolish Human rules and habits, but believe me when I say I don't need any lesson to know how to read Human desires and pleasure."
"Thanks to your mojo," the blonde woman counters. Chloe gasps in surprise as she feels Lucifer's fingers on her clit using just the right pressure and speed.
Lucifer smirks. "Are you sure about this, Darling?" he asks, innocently. "And you know I don't need my mojo to read you like a book."
"Bullsh-..., ' she takes in a sharp breath as the Devil drives his point home and brings her almost to the edge with just a few strokes.
"What was that? I'm sorry I didn't hear it very well over the shower running and your breathing," he continues. "Could you please use a coherent sentence? Remember, my mojo doesn't work on you," he teases her.
" Cocky bastard! " Chloe thinks before she decides to give in as her desire overpowers her pride. She'll have plenty of occasions to remind him of his lack of skills in reading people.
Lucifer feels the switch in her as her last walls break and her desire rises. He smiles and turns her around. "Now how about I get you cleaned up?"
Chloe sighs at the loss of contact but doesn't have to crave it for too long as his hands find their way to her skin again. He pours a generous amount of soap and works it into a thick lather to apply it gently to her neck first, then her shoulders, back, ribs, before he reaches for the soap again. He follows her long legs and cleans her feet, tickling her, his nose hovering over her pussy. Lucifer steps around her and decides to take care of her hair. He pours some shampoo, careful not to drop some in her eyes, and starts to massage it into her scalp. Chloe feels a fresh wave of arousal as his fingers work out the last of her knots to leave her the most relaxed as she has been in a very long time. She moans low and presses further in his chest, her hips undulating of their own accord. Lucifer groans at the friction.
"Enjoying yourself, Love?" Lucifer asks.
Chloe simply hums, not able to voice anything else right now, as her muscles and entire body become rubber. Lucifer turns her in his arms so he now has better access to all her most sensitive areas, which he avoided on purpose earlier on. He spreads the soap over her breasts and her already too hard pebbles. He brushes the foam over them for a moment before he rinses it off so his lips can replace his fingers. His hands follow the curves of her body, pausing over her lower stomach as the water rinses off the soap so his mouth can follow everywhere his fingers lit a small fire. As he reaches her wetness, he can smell her arousal mixed in with the luxurious body wash he used, and the smell is just intoxicating. However, he resists the blatant temptation - for now - and instead continues down her legs, making sure the soap is all gone.
Chloe is now a writhing mess and has to hold onto his shoulders to steady herself as she doesn't trust her legs anymore. She realises that she's already walking the thin wire between her pleasure peak and her downfall and she could trip and tumble down at any moment. And to say he hasn't even touched her for real yet. She catches his almost black eyes as he looks up and signals him to stand up from his knees. The Devil follows her request and levels his face with hers, eyes never missing a beat. Lucifer lets his hands rest on her hips, fingers draw imaginary patterns right at the joint between her hips and thighs, curious to see what she has in mind.
Chloe blows on his right shoulder and brushes an imaginary piece of dirt off it. Lucifer looks at her, not sure what she tries to do. Chloe smiles, mischievous.
"Looks like you have some dirt there," she says, her brain using all of her available resources to form her sentence. "I guess I better clean it up," she finishes, as she turns him around so his back now faces her. Lucifer lets her take the lead back, and Chloe is happy to have a break to catch her breath before they continue because she wouldn't have been able to last much longer. As a matter of fact, she still feels like she could come crashing down anytime. One thing she didn't think of though, is that from this angle she had a close-up view of his scars. She feels pain as she reimagines the violence it took to create the crescent-shaped patch of skin. She pauses on his shoulders for a moment as she feels Lucifer tense under her fingers, but not enough to break their current desire. Soon he relaxes, signalling his complete trust in her. She lets her hands wander his chest and abs before she rests it just above the pelvis. Her other hand slowly circles one of his scars, tentative at first, before she draws nearer to the outer line of the crescent. She hears his sharp intake of breath as she gets closer and closer to the sensitive skin.
She half expects the Devil to recoil from her touch as her fingers gently ghost over the scars, but the twitch in his lower stomach she feels with her other hand tells her that this affects him more than she - or even he - would have thought. She slowly gets some more soap and starts to apply it to his scars - almost as if trying to heal them. She doesn't know what to expect, but the low growl of pure bliss that escapes the Devil, the more she presses, heightens her arousal to no end, and just like that she's back on the wire. His moans get even lower as she tentatively replaces her hands with her lips. This allows her to trail her slender fingers down his body to rest on his hips before she wraps them around his erection.
Lucifer's response to her touch is beyond anything she ever imagined and he's now completely lost in her touch, his back leaning further into her arms. Chloe keeps "cleaning" him for a few moments which seem both neverending and fleeting. Until he can't take it anymore and stops her movements before this all ends too soon. He slowly turns around, Chloe's hands still on his hips.
"Looks like I have found my match," he says, out of breath, before he pushes her against the wall, taking the upper hand once more.
He brings his hand to her hip and lifts her leg so she can hook it behind his thigh. His cock twitches against her. He checks her eyes for a second to make sure she is ok before he enters her in one swift movement. Chloe brings her hands to his shoulder so keep herself steady, leg still hooked behind his ass, bringing him deeper as he starts to move. They're both panting and moaning, fully lost in the pleasure, not that either of them wishes to draw this out anyway. Lucifers thrusts faster and deeper now. Chloe is the first one to give in as her orgasm hits her hard, the previous edging, only increasing the sensation. She lets out a rather loud and throaty moan as she rides her wave until the end, the noise of the running water hopefully covering the sound behind the thin glass door of the bathroom.
The combination of feeling Chloe contracting around him, fingers digging into his scars and grabbing at his hair, as well as the noise she makes sends Lucifer over the edge very soon after and he pushes deeply one final time, chasing his pleasure. He comes hard, with Chloe's name on his lips, his hand pushing against the tile of the shower stall so hard it cracks.
Once Chloe has finally caught her breath and is confident enough to use her legs, she brings her lag down, slowly untangles her fingers from his hair and searches his eyes. She presses her head against the wall and laughs. The Devil looks at her for a second before he joins her, her laughter contagious. Chloe grabs the body wash bottle and looks at Lucifer.
"How about we really shower this time?"
"We could," Lucifer starts as his hands trail down her body, lips already on her nipple. "Or we could go for round two."
Chloe smiles. "I guess this could be an option," she replies, desire ignited again, despite her more than satisfying release.
But she doesn't get a chance to continue her sentence as a knock on the door brings her back to the real world. She goes to reach for a towel to see who's there but she feels the Devil's hands clearly reluctant to let her go. When she finally reaches the bedroom door, she gives one last desire-filled look at Lucifer before he disappears back into the shower. Ella greets her on the other side of the door, not that it could have been anyone else anyway.
"Hey," Chloe starts. "How are you feeling?"
"Better," Ella replies, half heartedly. "Do you know where Lucifer is? Dan said he should be downstairs," she adds.
Chloe can't help but look back to the en-suite bathroom and blush a bit. Of course, Ella catches it even if it's barely there. She then connects the last of the dots as she sees Chloe's state of undress and the rest of the scattered clothes.
"I guess he must have gone for a walk then," Ella continues, her tone neutral, but her smile up to her ears. "Was the shower pleasant?"
"It was," Chloe simply replies as she looks at her feet to try and hide the red in her cheeks. She clears her throat. "You said Dan told you Lucifer is downstairs?"
"Yeah. He called about five minutes ago to check up on me as he heard some noises coming from the pool and weird sounds coming from up here." Ella winks at Chloe. "Since Lucifer was supposed to be downstairs and I couldn't find him anywhere, I just wanted to make sure you both were alright. You know in case anything happened."
"Just let me get dressed and I'll be ready in a minute. I'll let Lucifer know to meet us once he's done," she finishes.
She then closes the door and gets dressed quickly, a bit worried by the fact that Dan heard some footsteps from the backyard, which was certainly not used by the Devil at the time. She comes back out and joins Ella downstairs. She finds the brunette frozen near the glass door which leads to the pool. She walks to her and puts her hand on her shoulder. Ella turns slowly, letter in hand.
"I found this on one of the deckchairs," Ella says as she hands the letter to Chloe.
"Have you opened it yet?"
She shakes her head. "I'm scared to discover what's inside," she truthfully answers. She walks back inside, followed by Chloe, and takes a deep breath before she carefully opens the folded paper. She pulls out the same paper which looks and feels like the first letter they got and starts to read aloud.
"Esteemed Member,
our highest representative has now validated your candidacy and you're about to meet your first real assignment for the Circle.
But before that, you'll be formally introduced to the rest of us and take your pledge to serve the Circle, no matter the costs. Failure will not be tolerated.
A car will pick you up to bring you to a secret location to confirm your nomination as Zeta. Be at your door at 8 pm sharp.
Alpha."
Ella puts the letter on the counter and looks at Chloe, her face a mix of fear but also a steel determination to stop this organisation. She sits down.
"Do you realise what this means?" she asks Chloe.
"That this is getting way too dangerous," Chloe replies, her worry for her friend taking over her professional instincts.
"Yes, but also this means that this might be our only chance to catch them all at once, including the brain of this operation." Ella looks at Chloe, still determined. "According to this, it will be my formal pledge so all members will be present."
"What if they're not? What if some of them are taking part to this from a secure location like they would a video conference? What if it's another test?" Chloe challenges.
"Only one way to find you," Ella says. "I have to go," she repeats. "Besides I've tried to keep up the charade this far, I can do it for a bit longer." She pauses to think. "Now what we need to figure out is how to get the location information over to you."
"Maybe we could use one of Dan's mic?" Chloe offers.
"There'll probably be enough jamming devices, so the inside of the house is completely isolated from the outside so that the mic won't be of any use, plus they'll probably do a check-up to see if I have any wire. They may trust me for now, but it doesn't mean they'll be careless. If the first test they gave me is any indication, they know what they're doing. Plus they are giant nerds." She stops to think of a solution. "Maybe if I leave my phone in the car which drives me to the location, you could triangulate it and know where I am. Hopefully, they won't jam the cell signal from the car."
"Ella…" Chloe starts.
"I know it's dangerous, but we have to take this chance," she reiterates, although Chloe is still not convinced and very much worried.
"Fine," Chloe finally reluctantly agrees, aware that despite the danger of it all Ella is right. "But…"
"So Ladies, what did I miss?" Lucifer interrupts them as he walks in through the front door.
Chloe turns to him, taken aback as he was in the shower last she saw him. She's both amused he would go this far and not surprised as he said he was going for a walk, and he doesn't lie. She smiles at him as he makes his way to them. However, her worry is quick to return.
"Ella received another letter. It was dropped on one of the deckchairs. Dan picked up the audio and wanted to check she was OK."
"So the Douche had a semi-good idea?" He smirks, happy with his comeback but soon drops it as he sees Chloe's face. "What does the letter say?"
"It confirms my pledge is tonight," Ella replies.
"So what's the plan?" Lucifer enquires.
"I go in and you come to the rescue," Ella jokes, but they all can hear the underlying fear in her comment.
"I see," he turns to Chloe. "Alright, so what's the real plan now, Detective?"
"I…" Chloe starts. "It's basically what Ella said." She looks at the brunette. "Although we're not sure everyone will be here and we could delay it until we have a better plan?" Chloe tries one last time.
Ella sighs. "Look Chlo', I appreciate your concern, but I need Detective Decker right now, and she would tell you that we can't waste time on this." She smiles at Chloe. "Besides I'm sure they'll all be there."
"I have to say Miss Lopez is right on this." Lucifer looks over at Ella. "I mean the plan is what it is, but, although not a fan of secret societies, being the Devil and all, I have known them for long enough to know that a pledge is one of the biggest events for them, so all members will be here including the most prominent ones." He reaches for the letter to read it quickly. "If there's one thing they love, apart from abusing my name, it's their rituals."
"Fine." Chloe agrees, knowing that Lucifer is on Ella's side now and she can't argue with the both of them and win this. "So how do we prepare to locate you?"
"The best way is to clone my phone on yours so you can see exactly what I see. I would also hack into the video surveillance of the residence to prepare a back-up for you to follow the car from CCTV to CCTV. I highly doubt that we'll head for outside of the residence. From all information I could gather, if we enter the plate in the surveillance feed, we can set it so it looks for this specific plate only." Ella finishes, as she opens her laptop to get to work. "All should be ready before they come to pick me up," she quickly completes before going back into her bubble.
"I'll set up everything with Dan, just in case we need some muscles to intervene."
"And I'll be here if you need me," he confirms, not sure what else to do.
A couple of hours later
Times fly quicker than they had noticed and soon they recognize that there are only a few minutes left before the clock turns 8 pm. Chloe had been busy setting everything with the precinct, Dan, trying to cover all the different ways this operation could go, including the worse ones, just to be sure to have it all under control. Ella had been on her computer almost the whole time, working her nerd magic so that everything was set up and ready to go. Even Lucifer pitched in, helping Chloe to be more objective and focus on getting it as close to reality as possible, pointing out when she was being too engaged, or when she couldn't see the bigger picture, guiding her along the way. Ella finally comes out of the room, laptop in hand, dressed in her usual outfit, her face resolved. Chloe invites her to sit on one of the chairs around the counter, near the door.
"So as agreed," the Detective starts, going over the plan for the tenth time. "Lucifer will stay here as back-up and will have access to your location and security feeds so he can join you if needed." Lucifer shows his phone with a mirror of what Ella sees. "And I will be following the car from afar so I don't get noticed, using your location and the CCTV as well to make sure I know where you are. Although as discussed and from what we found out this morning, it seems highly probable that they take you where we went earlier." She pauses. "Which is both good and bad, because we have no idea how to get in."
"Which is why you have the Dou.. I mean Dan ready with all the necessary arsenal to blow up the walls if needed," Lucifer adds, in an attempt to calm her.
Chloe waits for Ella to confirm she's okay with all this before she continues. "I'll let Dan know when I'm going in if I can enter, so he prepares himself to move in. We've agreed that if more than ten minutes pass between the first and second contact, he'll run-in with the big guns and arrest everyone in the place. Ten minutes should be enough for me to get in, make sure you're safe before they raid the place." She looks at Lucifer. "And you'll be our back-up if we need an extra one," she says. She feels the need to explain why she doesn't wish to include the Devil if not necessary. "I called the Lieutenant, and he made it clear you were not official Police, and this could be a high-risk case for the DA afterwards. And since you're not allowed to carry a gun…"
Lucifer laughs. "Very funny this Lieutenant," he continues as he sees the two women's puzzled features. "There's no way I'm letting either of you go in alone."
"Lucifer," Chloe starts. "We've covered this already."
"We have and I still don't agree with you," he says, matter of factly.
"We won't be alone," Chloe repeats. "Dan is ready with a whole unit behind him to jump in on call," she silently pleads with the Devil to not make it harder than it already is. "I promise you the second I need help, I will let you know." He relaxes slightly. "Besides, I need to be one hundred per cent focused on this and I can't worry about your mortality problem while I'm in there," she adds. "I know you won't be far behind anyway."
"Alright, I promise to let you go in without me by your side," Lucifer yields.
"Thank you," Chloe replies. "So Ella, ready?" she asks, just as they hear a car park in front of the house.
Ella takes a deep breath. "I guess this is it," the brunette says, as she takes a deep breath. Then she opens the door and gets into a full black Chevrolet Camaro.
I hope you liked it. Next chapter will be the epilogue. Depending it might be one or two chapters
And thank you all for your comments, feedback, kudos, likes, faves and all. They still brighten my days!
