Lucifer wakes up as he holds both women in his arms on his bed. He stretches then gets ready for a good work day with the women are still asleep along with the three cats who are lazily sleeping with them. Lucifer puts on his blue Prada Italian suit and black buttoned shirt. He smiles happily at the layout of his room which seems so much better than yesterday morning. Lucifer leaves to get out of his home and much to his surprise, Chloe shows up with her car.
"Hello Detective!" Lucifer joyfully says. He goes into her gray car and states, "You are right and wrong by the way."
Chloe gives a curious good look at him and asks, "And how is that?"
"Right on the fact that women do seem to love those furry beasts and wrong about my life turning into a bore." Lucifer says happily.
"Oh." Chloe simply states as she drives them to the Humane Society. The partners get out of the parked car. Chloe rushes in front of Lucifer to go up to the door. As they get near, tons of dogs are barking ranging from small to big in size. She opens the entrance door of the rescue shelter. Lucifer goes in first to be welcomed by animals happily barking and meowing in separate cages.
"Well for the love of my Dad!" Lucifer exclaims, "There is so many beasts in here. I don't know how humans can handle it! Maybe might make me 'paws' to smell that aroma and it would be 'purrfect'!"
Chloe ignores his puns and questions the front worker who is a young man in his 20's, "Sir, we are from the LAPD. I would like to ask your boss about a certain customer who came by who later was found dead two nights ago."
She flashes her badge as the man picks up his phone with no question. Then he puts the phone back into the slot on the table and says, "Mrs. Peterson will see you soon. She'll come out. So wait for a few minutes." Then he turns to look at Lucifer, "Please don't hurt me."
"We're not going to hurt you, skinny human!" Lucifer states as he grins, "But maybe to your boss."
The worker shivers a bit while Chloe gets in close to Lucifer to say, "Don't you dare hurt her, Lucifer. We're only here for answers. And also don't freak out the workers. Let alone the dogs and cats."
Lucifer walks away to check the dogs and cats out while Chloe stands by the front desk to wait for Mrs. Peterson.
As five minutes pass, a tall woman with a brown ponytail in a blue shirt and tan pants walks to Chloe. She smiles as she asks, "What honor do I owe the police this beautiful day?"
"We only want to talk about Gertrude Kilna." Chloe replies as she looks around the building. "Anywhere to have a conversation in private?"
Mrs. Peterson claps her hands once as she says, "I regret to inform you there is none. The Humane Society is open to anyone, including the police. So fire away, detective!"
Chloe clicks her fingers on the front desk before she pulls out her notebook. Lucifer comes back right in time for the interrogation to happen. He stands right behind Chloe as he rests his elbows on the hard wooden desk. The young work turns away from what he is doing and goes in the corner to get away from Lucifer.
Lucifer slightly moves over to stand beside Chloe since he notices the worker is a bit afraid of him for no apparent reason. Lucifer didn't show his devil face or red eyes! Why would someone be scared of his handsome, lightly bearded angelic face?
"So Mrs. Peterson, we interrogated an employee of yours and she said that Mrs. Kilna stole six cats from this building before she died. How long ago was that?" Chloe asks holding up her pen and notebook.
Mrs. Peterson nods as she answers, "Ah yes, you talked with Jenny Hendrix. Those two always had quarrels with each other. Ms. Kilna came in here a week ago on the day where we had several customers coming in to find a new companion. To Ms. Hendrix's eyes, Kilna stole four males and two females out of our cat section.. But to my knowledge, Ms. Kilna didn't steal any. She bought them. Darren can agree since he was there that day."
"So Ms. Kilna did not steal the cats..." Chloe repeats Mrs. Peterson then adds with another question, "Yet why would she make an accusation?"
"I don't particularly have the answer for that, Detective Decker. Gertrude is a good woman in my point of view, but Jenny knew her only from a bar they fought in a day before Ms. Kilna bought the cats."
"Thank you for your time, Mrs. Peterson. We'll get going." Chloe says as she shakes hands with Jenny's boss.
Mrs. Peterson says with a gentle tone, "Please, detective, call me Valerie. Pleasure to assist the police force!"
Chloe steps out while Lucifer stays behind. He grins at Mrs. Peterson then asks, "So that's that, yet you look marvelous!"
"Well thank you, sir." Mrs. Peterson blushes.
Lucifer shakes his hand with her, "Please, call me Lucifer. Lucifer Morningstar."
Mrs. Peterson laughs as she seems surprised and a bit shook by hearing his name. Then she goes off to her office to get food and water for the dogs and cats in the rescue shelter.
Lucifer takes a quick look at Darren who is looking at his phone. Darren keeps looking every now and then to see Lucifer right in front of him. The man squirms. Lucifer comes right back in as the poor guy screams. The Devil smiles as he leaves for good this time to follow the Detective.
