I AM SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE, I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.
Chloe had looked everywhere for Dan, but couldn't find him. Walking over to Lucifer she rolled her eyes, one of Trixie's friend's mother was currently trying to flirt with him. Lucifer seemed a bit uncomfortable, but kept his swag on. "Lucifer?"
Lucifer gave her a relieved look. "Detective!" Grabbing her by the waist he pulled her in between his legs, her back against his chest. "Always impeccable timing."
The woman glared at Chloe. "Hello Chloe, I have to say you out did yourself."
Chloe smirked. "Oh no Jessica I can't take the credit for any of this. It was all him." Glancing up she kissed him under the chin. "How is Mark? Still over sea's?"
Jessica blushed at the sly smirk Lucifer gave her. "Yes, he-uhh-should be back next week." Looking away she began backtracking. "I should go back to my daughter."
Chloe chuckled, as she turned around. "What?"
"I think I might be a bad influence on you." Leaning down he nibbled on her ear. "I like it."
Shivering from his attention, Chloe sighed happily. "Hey, have you seen Dan? I can't find him anywhere."
Lucifer stood up straight giving her a frowned. "Why do need him?"
"Because if I am going to spend the night with you, I need someone to watch Trixie." Chloe smiled at the look he gave her; it was the same one he had when she flirted with his brother.
"I assure you detective; your ex is in no condition to take care of his offspring." Lucifer said, reaching for his glass he found it empty. Glancing around, he was rather surprised Maze had yet to returned.
Chloe grabbed his cup, walked around the bar and refilling it. "Why do you say that? Where is he?"
"I had Maze take him home, he was intoxicated." Lucifer answered.
Chloe groaned. "Why would he do that? He knows better than to drink in front of Trixie."
Lucifer just shrugged. "How about I just spend the night at your house. I don't mind."
Giving him a quick kiss on the lips, she smiled. "Thank you."
As the party ended, everyone helped clean up. The kids were out in the balcony playing with Trixie's new 'puppy', Lucifer had pulled the short straw and had to watch them. As long as they didn't bug him, he was fine.
Chloe watched him for a bit, amazed at how natural he looked at the moment. Regardless of what he said, he looked good with kids.
"Where did you find that god of a man?" A mother asked.
Chloe glanced at her, cringing she hope Lucifer did not hear that. "On a case, he was a witness soon turned consultant. We worked a few cases together, he then became my partner in both work and life."
"What happened with Dan? You two used to work together right?" Jessica sassed.
"We did, but only because we were in the same precinct. We are divorced now."
The first mother smiled. "Well you got a good catch there. I mean he did go to all this trouble for your baby."
Chloe turned back to Lucifer laughing, when Trixie jumped up and hugged him. He raised his hands up, as if touching the child would be the death of him. "Yeah I know and I don't plan on letting him go."
Lucifer waited patiently for the mother's to finish their chit chat and pick up their little monsters. He found himself staring at Beatrice, she was different from the others. More mature and aware of her surroundings. She was smart and too much like…like him? No, her mother yes. Father defiantly no. He may not be very fond of children, but this little girl may be the exception. Trixie ran toward him giving him a hug. On second thought he might have jumped the gun.
"Detective! I do believe it is past their bedtime!" Lucifer gently pried himself away from Beatrice. "Detective!"
"What?" Chloe appeared beside him.
Before Lucifer could respond a growl was heard from his loft. "Luv, would you excuse me a moment. I have to attend a funeral." Leaving a confused Chloe behind, he jogged up the stairs.
Walking into the loft he spotted one hound and prisoner. Lucifer frowned, glancing around he found no trace of the other two hounds. "Who do we have here?" Kicking the man onto his back, Lucifer scoffed. "Of course it had to be you."
The blond kept his gaze on the ceiling, too afraid to look at Lucifer. "Please sir…forgive me…I didn't mean for this to happen."
"For what to happen? Your escape or the murder of the girl?" Lucifer growled. "Who else escaped with you? And where are they?"
The man shivered. "I-I don't know. The hounds came after us, but I didn't see where they went."
"Your lying! I am not my father Mike; I do not forgive so easily!" Lucifer stood over him, his eyes filled with fire. "What happened out there? Where are my hunters?!"
"Lucifer?" Both men and beast turned toward the door. Chloe stared at him with both fear and confusion. "What are you doing?!"
"This is one of the escapees. Mike Flemings also known as the midnight killer." Lucifer moved to the side, kicking Mike in the process.
Chloe kept her eyes on the serial killer, she knew he was to be dead. It had been all over the news, the woman in L.A were able to walk the streets knowing he was gone. "He's dead."
"He is supposed to be in hell." Kneeling before the animal he locked eyes with him. "Go find the others." Instead of doing what he was told it just whimpered.
"What is wrong with it?" Chloe asked, she had yet to move from her spot. Of she was honest to herself, Chloe was a bit scared of Lucifer.
Lucifer shook his head. "I don't know." Standing up he grabbed the man from the collar of his shirt, slamming him into the wall and making a hole. "You are going back from where you should have never left! If you thought it was bad before, imagine it ten times worse. No one makes a fool out of me!" Tossing him to the side like a dirty rag, the hound grabbed him and dragged him into the shadows. Mike yelled and kicked.
"Is it that bad down there?" Chloe whispered.
Lucifer just nodded. "it's worse for others, it all depends on what you did to be in hell." Lucifer watched the fear in her eyes and the sound of her heart beat racing. The words from his brother returned to haunt him once more. He needed to find a way and save her, but at the moment he needed to find out what the hell happened to the other. And where it the bloody hell is Maze!
"Come let's get going." Ushering her out her spotted Maze behind the bar. "Go to the car, I'll meet you there."
Maze watched Chloe and Beatrice walk out, she knew Lucifer was coming her way. "Party over?"
"Where were you?" Lucifer demanded.
"I took officer Dan to his apartment like you said too." Maze spoke.
Lucifer leaned in closer. "Is that all?"
Maze hesitated for a bit. "Yes."
"Good, do not forget what will happen if you betray me again Maze." Lucifer stood back. "I need you to located two of the hell hounds. One returned with one of the escapees. But there is no sign of the others. I want them found and brought to me. Understood?"
"Crystal my lord." Maze grumbled.
Grabbing his jacket, he headed out, but not before warning Maze. "If you plan on earning my trust again, it would be best if you stay away from my brother. Remember he is an angel and you are a demon. One I created and can so easily destroy."
Maze watched him leave. "Oh Maze what have you gotten yourself into!"
Maze got down to working on finding the animals. To her surprise she found them guarding another escapee. Maze took it into her hands to send them all back to hell, now all she needed was to find the last man. It shouldn't be that hard, but then again the animals weren't able to find him. It took her most of the night only to come up empty handed. She needed to talk with Lucifer, if this 'thing' had anything to do with the death of that human. Then it won't be long before he attacks again.
Lucifer ended up carrying a sleeping Chloe, into the house. Trixie was bouncing from one end to another in front of him, she had too much sugar in her system. Once he placed Chloe in her bed, he turned his attention to the child.
"Right then, off to bed you go." Lucifer ushered her and the dog out.
"Can you read me a story?" Trixie asked, giving him the puppy eyes.
Lucifer groaned. "Fine let's go." Closing the door behind him he mumbled to himself. "Chloe is going to pay for this." Trixie handed him a book and settled into to bed, the beast laying over her. "What do we have here?" Taking a seat beside her he began ready. "In a little red house lived a small girl…." Being halfway thru the book he noticed she was asleep. He tucked her in without thinking. "What the hell is the matter with me?"
Lucifer had received a text message from Maze telling him to head to LUX it was urgent. Saying his goodbye to Chloe and promising to be back he left. With the hound in the house he was much more comfortable leaving them alone.
"What is it Maze?" Lucifer demanded.
"I found your animals, but only one other human. I tried tracking down the other, but no such luck." Maze reported.
Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Fine, have the others help you. I need him caught and need it done fast." Maze nodded. "Now I am going to shower; I want no interruptions."
Maze nodded once more, Amenadiel wanted to start the set-up as soon as possible. Now was his chance.
Turning around she jumped at the sudden appearance of the angel. "Can you not do that?"
The angel just shrugged. "Where is he?"
"Showering."
"Good did you send the message?" Amenadiel asked.
Maze sighed, pulling her phone out she quickly did as told. "Tell me again how is this going to work?"
"This is the one thing Chloe does not tolerate nor forgive." Pausing for a moment he listened. "I want to wait for a bit, just keep Chloe alert. When the time is right we will set everything up."
