Hello! Here is a new chapter...

"Nothing?"

"Absolutely nothing" Chloe answered. "Apparently, Raphael didn´t consider his siblings an option to ask for help" with all she heard and the attitude the aforementioned siblings had while obviously keeping secrets about the redhead, she couldn´t blame him. Seriously, Linda was right to call their family dysfunctional. And some wonder how the divine let this world go so bad. "Anyway, new information?"

"Only what we could find out through the normal information pages. And it was not as easy as it sounds, even for an international search, especially because this people are two of the strangest persons in the world." Dan put some papers on his table. "Anthony J. Crowley, unemployed but with an enormous amount of money in the bank. His last direction is a penthouse in Soho, London. Drives a classical Bentley at high speed… wonder if all those attributes are a family thing."

"Maybe" Lucifer said. He hadn´t put a foot in Crowley´s home in London, but a penthouse was a penthouse. They couldn´t be very different. "And, before you ask, the money comes from me. Crowley worked for me a long time after he lost his… medical licence."

"I never said anything" Dan lifted his hands after seeing the look Amenadiel was throwing at him, before looking away again. As if he was… ashamed of something. And stayed silent. Suddenly, the detective had the feeling that he was hiding something. "Anyway, this guy is still suspicious. He cultivates everything in his indoor garden, even marihuana, which is green all year… are you sure all his money comes from you, Lucifer?"

"Yes, the marihuana must be for medical uses. And he has been obsessed with plants and stars since he was little, so…" the Devil not to roll his eyes when he remembered the last time his brother has been up in the sky. He got completely nuts over Alpha Centauri binary system. "And?"

"And that´s when A. Z. Fell enters too. I don´t know when he worked for your brother, because this guy spent all his live working on a family owned library" which mean the library was just a cover for angelic work, or at least that´s what Chloe managed to get. Not that her ex should know. "But it wouldn´t surprise me, as he managed keep his library open despite never selling a book… what kind of business does your family have again?"

"Does that matter?"

"It does if it´s anything illegal" the detective answered, looking from one divine being to the other. They didn´t answer, as they couldn´t possible explain the man about the celestial workings. "Anyway, a few years ago, Anthony Crowley moved to the home over the library. Three, if we have to be exact."

"Oh, that´s when he quit his job with me" Lucifer informed. "But return to what he said about moving. Raphael really did it? I thought Armageddon would come before he actually braves to do something like that before marriage" not to mention that it did. "I assure you, detective douche, that it´s not anything illegal. My family´s business is anything but that."

"As you say" Dan just shook his head, not willing to deal with the consultant. "Anyway, Mr. Crowley moved with the librarian and there ends the information we managed to get. Or it will if not for the amount of traffic infractions your brother has" he glared at the raven, who was also a reckless driver. "This people are the most secretive couple I have ever encountered. They didn´t have bank accounts, social medias… they barely have cell phones! And it´s only Crowley! Who could go without a cell phone in this era?!"

"All of Gabriel´s underlings are a bit old fashioned" Lucifer said, watching his rolex. "Anyway, the detective and me can be more useful in other place, resolving the crime. Thank you for nothing, douche."

"Stop there, you are staying right here" Dan stopped the Devil, who was ready to go out. "Don´t you remember what I said? Conflict of interests. We are investigating your brother, one you are close to, you can´t participate in the investigation."

"Come on, you can´t be calling me and Raphael close. We haven´t talked to each other in three years!"

"Dan, it would be better if Lucifer come with me. He knows his brother more than anyone in the world. If he did it" which she doubted, as demons usually didn´t leave a trace of their work. They… well… she only battled a few, but they were subtler than this. "Lucifer would immediately know."

"I already know. There were no apples, snakes, plants, stars or anything remotely related to Crowley, so… ciao" Chloe and Lucifer walked towards the elevator, to go to the Dowling residence once more. Amenadiel stayed there, looking as conflicted as when this thing with his brother started. Dan decided that it was a good moment to interrogate him, so he guided the angel to the interrogation room.

"How about you tell me everything?" he went to the point, making Amenadiel get even more stressed. "Look, pal, I consider you a friend, but I knew since the moment you realised that your family was involved you have been tense. Now, I know that betraying your family could be hard, but if there is something illegal…"

"What? NO!" he yelled, insulted. "There is nothing illegal on my family´s business! Even more, it´s the contrary! We try to help people to make good decisions, to follow the path of good!"

"Then why…"

"Well… there is something I don´t want Lucifer to know" the dark skinned man looked down, ashamed. "It´s just that… after Luci was thrown out of home for causing a big family fight and the end of Gabriel´s marriage… I have seven brothers and sisters and some of them were married, don´t look at me like that"

"Okay"

"What happened was that… you can´t tell Lucifer, ever"

"I promise"

"I´m serious, he can´t know"

"I said I promised"

"But I…"

"Man, have you ever seen me talking to your brother willingly without any animosity between ourselves? Come on, you can tell me, my lips are sealed, especially when your brother is concerned."

"Ahhh" Amenadiel sighed, putting his hands over the table. "When that big fight was cleared and Lucifer was thrown out of home, along with those who followed him… yes, I said that, followed him. Like Gabriel´s wife" this was sounding more and more like a cult to Daniel´s ears, but he bit his tongue. He needed to know. "Raphael was the medic of the family… one of them. The head of the hospital. He… he ordered some things that didn´t sit well with the rest of the family and… he was thrown out too. But before… before he was used as an example to the others. So they could see what happened to those that defy Father´s orders."

"It´s starting to sound a lot like domestic violence. Or torture" the angel´s head lowered more, when he remembered the scene. "Amenadiel, what happened to Crowley? Lucifer said he was in hysterics when they saw each other again, what put him in that state?"

"I… I helped to hold him down and Gabriel… Gabriel… I can´t say it out loud"

"Oh, that bad?"

"Worse" he admitted. "And the worst thing was that I just stayed there, holding my screaming little brother while another brother did something horrible to him. I was the oldest, the one that was supposed to protect him and I just held him down while he…" he put a hand over his face. "Only because Dad didn´t put a stop to it, I believed it was good."

"Okay…" Dan internally was rethinking everything he knew about Lucifer and Amenadiel. And their father. Perhaps the idiot was telling the truth when he told them his father was a piece of shit, because if he let a son torture another… well, he now had more sympathy for Lucifer. "Now I see why Raphael wouldn´t come to you… and why he changed his name. He probably didn´t want to think of himself as Raphael Morningstar after what he lived."

"In fact, Morningstar was Luci´s second name, which he adopted as last name after he got kicked out."

"Morningstar? Really? His second name was Morningstar?"

"Unique parents make unique names" the dark skinned man rubbed his hands. "Raphael´s was Starmaker."

"Another reason to change his name" Daniel grabbed his jacket. "I will keep your secret, pal, but you really should tell Lucifer. If he managed to find Crowley and asks him, it will be out and he will never talk to you again. Which, in the end, will leave you with two brothers who won´t talk to you."

"He didn´t mention it before. And he had enough time, when he was still being taken care of by Luci."

"Maybe he wasn´t in the best of shapes after what Gabriel did to him" the detective patted him on the shoulder. "Anyway, you should tell him. And Linda."

"She can´t know"

"She deserves to know, Amenadiel. And you can´t keep that cat in the bag forever, things like this tends to get out eventually. She will eventually know and she will never forgive you if she finds out from another source." He opened the door. "Think about that."

"I will" he lifted himself from the chair when Dan was about to exit the room. "By the way, I don´t know if this will help you, but Raphael loved the stars. He painted a lot of them… portraits, I mean. He was as artistic as Luci when he wasn´t cooped up in the hospital. If I were you, I would search somewhere related to them."

"Stars?"

"Alpha Centauri was his obsession" the angel walked out of the room. "He also likes plants. The greener, the better."

"I don´t know if that´s going to help us, but we are out of clues, so…" he called for two officials to come and gave them orders. And suddenly, his phone started to sound. "Hello. Chloe? Have you found something about… What? I thought I heard you wrong, can you repeat?"

-In the Dowling Home-

"No, you heard it just fine. There are photos of Warlock Dowling with what looks as a badly costumed Anthony Crowley, posing as a female, and A. Z. Fell, also in a costume" the blond detective said, looking at the hidden photo album Lucifer found hidden under the bed. "You should see the album we found in his room, this kid has more photos with those two than with his own parents" she passed a page, watching the photo of the boy´s eleventh birthday, where the angel appeared as a magician. "They have been with him practically since he was born."

"Which confuses me. Why would a celestial, let alone two, devote themselves to watch over a human spawn? I certainly wouldn´t" the Devil moved around, grabbing another thing. It was a little potted plant with green leaves. The pot was decorated with a very artistic reproduction of a night sky. "Typical Crowley, still obsessed over plants. And stars."

"Amenadiel told me he was obsessed with plants and stars, but this is strange" Dan commented from the phone. "Anyway, you said the child knew them from England? From all his life?" his detective instincts started to kick in that moment. "Enough to consider him their child?" his ex-wife realised what he was implying. "Enough to kill to keep him with them?"

"It wasn´t them!" Lucifer quickly defended his favourite brother.

"I don´t know" the man continued doubting. "I know you think you know your brother, but you haven´t talked to him in three years…"

"Yes and with a good reason. I was angry with many people at the moment! Not him, but he refused to listen to me, to my explanations or anything of that. In fact, he refused to even be in the same space as me or any of my associates. Or family" the raven shook his head. "Sneaky old snake"

"Has something to do with his relationship with Mr. Fell?"

"Yes, many in the family were offended by that. Tried to do more than fire them" Lucifer shook his head. "Anyway, detective douche, do us a favour and look in every greenery, pottery and flower shop in the city."

"The greener the better?" this answer surprised the Devil. "Amenadiel told me"

"Better! Then you will remember to watch the Star Gazers too! Thank you, detective douche" he hanged for Chloe. "Well, it seems that I have to proof my brother´s innocence. So now we have to go and… what does someone do with a human spawn?" he asked the detective. "I know what I would do with you in a day out in Los Angeles, but with the spawn…"

"That´s more my territory" the detective said, knowing Lucifer was telling the truth. And right now, the fallen archangel Raphael and rebel Principality Aziraphale were worried parents with a child that suffered a trauma. In their place, she would also be coddling Trixie and running away from everything. But first, she would try to calm her daughter down. Which is exactly what they would try with Warlock. "We need to search in a motel or a familiar restaurant. One as far away from the Dowling property as we can."

"Then we should book a plane ticket for England, because they have probably miracle themselves there."

"Wait, you can do that? Can you too? Miracle yourself anywhere?" she asked, not knowing how to take it. She had drove in Lucifer´s car many times, but now… he didn´t even need it? It was just a commodity?

"I can try, but I haven´t done it in a long time. Prefer to do things myself, you know" the Devil took out his booze, taking a long zip. "Besides, miracles can be easily traced, if you learn how to do it. The bigger the miracle, the more attention it attracts. And since practically all of hell and heaven can do it, especially the bounty hunters, they will avoid them as much as they can. I would if I were in their situation."

"Bounty hunters?" she raised an eyebrow. "They haven´t forgiven them for thwarting the Apocalypse?"

"I hope they did, because I would hate to have to return so soon, but if some foolish demon needs a reminder of who is the boss" Chloe liked many things about her boyfriend, but the way his eyes turned red when angry still chilled her blood. Luckily, they didn´t stay that way for long. "Let´s go, detective, we have a rouge demon and angel pair to find. Where do we start?"

"In the best place to find food for a child in distress"

-At the Burger King-

"I want alcohol, can I have some?"

"Of course…"

"NOT" Aziraphale added quickly, sending Crowley a threatening glare. The serpent and teen looked at him with pleading eyes, but he wasn´t going to let them get away with that. "Alcohol at your age can have a really toxic effect on your body. It can even cause brain damage! So you are out of luck. And don´t dare to try and steal some, young man, because you are going to get into really big troubles."

"Okay, brother" Warlock answered, returning to his burger, grumbling about the unfairness of the world. He loved his dads, he really did, but in times like this he missed his neglecting parents. Especially because he had just seen them die and still hasn´t gotten that out of his system. He wanted to do that. With booze. Lots of booze. Like the one he used to steal from Thaddeus when he wasn´t looking. But, well, he was with the responsible pair of parents, the ones he liked the most. He felt safe with them… no offence to the dead. "Can I ask you what are we going to do now?"

"I think we are going to miracle ourselves back to…"

"Ehhhhh, angel, I need to talk to you for a second" Crowley pulled his angel towards the bathroom, where they could hopefully talk in private. "We can´t use miraclesss anymore, there are trackersssssssssss out there."

"Heaven and Hell are not our problem any…"

"They are not done with ussssss, I am sssssure of that" the snake said, looking around himself with fear. The two of them have lived without either of their former offices interventions for three years, but he was sure they were still planning an especial torture for them. For stopping the Apocalypse. "And you too. You wouldn´t have been reading Anathema´s new book if you weren´t."

"I can´t deny it" the Principality touched his golden ring. "In fact, I started reading it out of curiosity. I wanted to see what new things Agnes left for us. I didn´t understand at first, but now I am able to see that one of the prophecies I put less attention in predicted Warlock´s predicament."

"Why didn´t you put attention to a prophecy if it could be referred to Warlock?"

"Because I was obsessed to solve this one" he handed Crowley a paper with his handwriting, which he started to read. After that, he was alarmed, but he kept his reaction calm for his angel. There was no use in scaring him now.

"I don´t care what that old witch said. Our love managed to bring an end to the Apocalypsssse, it will end a few old demons too. We are never going to let anything happen to Warlock. And nothing bad is going to happen to either of ussss. We are going to be fine."

"Of course not, my dear" they hugged, exiting the place a second later. They still have much to do if they wanted to keep him safe. And to get to England before all hell could break loose.

-In an alley-

"Here we are, Lord Beelzebub" Hastur said when the prince of hell arrived with a little group of hunter demons, Lillim most of them. After they smelled that big miracle performed by Crowley, they decided it was a perfect time to reappear. And show him and that angel of his the consequences of defying them. They already had a cell in hell waiting for the traitor. Oh, the sweet torture she herself would perform. "Time to begin the hunt"

"Indeed" she fixed her clothing again. "Spread and search through the city! If you smell a miracle, call for the group! And remember that this is Lucifer´s territory, so try to keep it low or he is going to send you back downstairs and hunt us all down. And believe me, you don´t want that. Now move!"

"Yes, Prince Beelzebub!" they did so. The fly demon smiled. Soon, she thought, soon the traitor will wish he was never created.

And the demons appeared! Great, no? Now the runaways have more troubles, with two groups of people looking for them, and the demons have to learn to blend in, acting carefully, or Lucifer is going to teach them who is the boss. Will they screw up? Or will they capture Crowley? Review!
