Chapter 2

About a Week ago,….

Chloe couldn't believe she was doing this. Actually she could, she had felt it on the beach, this had to happen to happen and it had to happen now. She could feel Lucifer trying to work the strap of her bra as they crashed on the couch. The thing was he'd never get it, this one fastened in the front.

"Detective, are you sure about this?" he asked her looking her directly in the eye.

She couldn't help the smile that came to her face at the uncertainly in his expression.

"First Lucifer you must understand that I haven't been more sure about anything for a long time." She told him as she began to kiss his neck. "Secondly, if this whatever it is happens now you gotta start calling me Chloe." She leaned in to capture his mouth with another kiss.

That was all that he needed he had thought about this moment for so long. His body was on overdrive. He wanted it to be special for her he knew, but he had been waiting for so long that his body was almost reacting on its own. He wondered if this is what an adolescent felt when he was getting to know his body All he knew was that his body surely was about to explode if he didn't have Chloe right then and there.

There was a voice in the back of Chloe's head telling her that this was a mistake. Telling her that once she took this step she couldn't turn back. She was about to do it, she was about to have sex with Lucifer Morningstar, she was about to do it, and she couldn't fucking wait!

"Oh my God!" she shrieked at the sound of her phone ringing.

"You do know bringing dear old dad into this is an instant buzzkill." Lucifer replied.

He watched as she listened intently to the voice on the phone. She would nod her head as if the caller could see, and at that moment he was astounded at how just the simplest of things that she did somehow excited him. He also noticed that she was slowing pulling her clothes together, and once she slid back into her shoes he knew that this was not about to happen. At first, he felt a bit sorry that it wouldn't be happening, but then he thought after his confession on the beach she deserved something far more memorable then son tryst on his couch.

"From that look on your face I'm guessing there's been a murder, shall you drive or I?" he asked hopping to his feet.

At first, she was thrown by his reaction. She thought that maybe he would be saddened that this wasn't happening. She knew that she was sad, but he was currently fixing his clothes as well. She wouldn't dwell on that right now, there had been a murder.

"We just called in to the body of Sean Steinbeck, they found him outside of a hospital near the dumpsters." She stated.

He noticed her demeanor, she was sad. He knew that she felt at every crime scene, but this was different. What was he missing?

"Detective, what am I missing?" he inquired.

"It's Beck Lucifer from the station. You know he use to be the janitor, until about I don't know maybe five months ago,. He came in one day like normal, and then we never saw him again. He called in and said that he had won the lottery. Remember he was sort of shy, he liked your shoes." She brought him into the equation sure he'd remember then.

"Oh yea, I do remember. Well we better go and see what we could find out, I mean who would want to harm the poor bloke?"

"I don't know, but I intend to find out. Listen Lucifer about what just happened, I do plan to—

"There's no need to explain detective. Good things come to those who wait as they say, I've been waiting a long time now a few more hours can't hurt. It will be a few more hours, right?" he pouted.

Right then she knew that she in fact loved the pout.

"Yes, I've decided I've had enough of your driving for at least the next month. I'm taking us, now lets go find out what happened to an old friend.

Six Months Ago…..

Sean Steinbeck couldn't believe he was doing this. Lucifer had always seemed like an alright guy to him. Sure, the guy thought he was the devil, and that should be alarming, but it wasn't like he was going around putting hexes on people, are asking you to sign over your soul. The thing was all he had ever seen him do was good things. He did find it odd that he went from being the figurehead of a nightclub to crime fighter overnight. That was why he was here, things with the guy just didn't add up.

He would hear the people talking around the office. That's one thing about being a janitor you were just about the next thing to being nothing. Some would probably see that as a bad thing, but not him. He liked being able to go under the radar, and because of this he got to see the interactions of people. They were a lot of shady people down at the police station, and half of them wore a badge. He had been thrilled when Detective Decker had seemed to figure out about Malcolm, but then it all looked like it was going to backfire, but for a change justice did prevail in the end.

That was because of Lucifer. Lucifer Morningstar was solving crimes left and right, and proving to be smarter than all the cops on the force. That intrigued him, he started investigating him in his spare time. Sure, he was a janitor but he had dreams of being more, and maybe just maybe there was something about the club owner. He had gone nuts or more than one crime scene and he had noticed that even his own partner was secretly investigating him. The thing is, you can't have a secret from the guy that cleans the rooms.

Then it had happened, one day out of the blue he had approached him. He couldn't quite remember what had happened, but he remembered that he had told him that he had desired figuring out what he was all about. A smile had danced on his face, but he's eyes. He had never seen eyes like that, they were terrifying, and he just knew that he had to get away. This was the only time that he had made him feel uneasy, but there had to be something to it right.

Detective Decker started packing up all her leads on him, and he was about to throw them away but then through a friend who had a friend, who knew this other guy told him of Dr. John Sampson. He was some doctor who wanted to find out stuff on Lucifer Morningstar, and if anyone was willing to get dirt he was willing to pay. So, that's why he was outside this warehouse waiting for someone to let him inside.

"You Sean?" a voice from within asked.

"Yea are you Dr. Sampson?" he asked.

"Do you really have something that you think I'd like on Lucifer Morningstar, or are you pulling my chain?"

"What about this?" he held up the vial of blood he had saved from the garbage.

"Are you telling me that this is a vial of his blood!" the doctor asked gleefully.

"Yea I'm sure it's a vial of his blood. He was telling the detective how she should test it, because like you said the guy thinks he's the actual devil. He told her to test it, and she would get her answer."

"Do come in so we can have a little chat, won't you?" he asked gesturing inside the compound.

Sean started to think that maybe he had made a huge mistake once he entered the warehouse. It was like he had entered the lab to a mad scientist. They were beakers and pots boiling everywhere. If he thought that Lucifer had given him the creeps that one time, this place, this place was screaming to him.

"What is all this?" Sean asked.

"You know if you want to take someone out. Someone that you don't know that much about, if you're smart and I'm smart. This is all that you need."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean this little vial of blood is everything that is Lucifer Morningstar, if I were to break this down I could make something that would hurt him and him alone."

"Why would you wanna do something like that? I mean the guy has his quirks but he's not bothering anyone."

"That's the mistake people are making. They are becoming fools to his charms, they aren't listening to what he's really saying, what he's really saying. They are just smiling in his face, and hoping that he beds them and he's sinking his teeth into his soul. No not on my watch, the lord has spoken to me, and I've been given a task."

"What's that?"

"Well I'm going to kill Lucifer Morningstar, and I'm so sorry friend, but you will be the first piece to setting my plan in to motion."

Now

Chloe was afraid that after they had got stopped that the ride over to the crime scene would be awkward, but it was far from it. They have fallen back into their banter, and even though they were on their way to see the remains of someone she knew, he was kind enough to try and get her mind off it. That was until they got there to see the body for themselves.

Lucifer could barely remember Sean, but what he did know was that he didn't deserve this. He just looked old for one, on the way over she had shared that he was in his late 30's, this man before them he looked much older.

"Detective, do they have any idea what his cause of death was?"

"They are calling it natural causes, but because we know the victim, and we know how old he really was we know that this is not the case. They are calling in the big boys for this one." Chloe added as she joined him near the body.

"Well heavens if that's case, shouldn't we be, I don't know in those plastic suit thingies instead of walking around all willy nilly." He asked disgusted.

"Is the great and powerful Lucifer Morningstar afraid of some germs. No need for any of that, people have been coming up and down this block for hours no one has shown any sign of sickness. It's all precautionary really, we are just going to say he's been poisoned until labs come back. He had a wife, care to come with me to break the news?"

"Lead on detective." He smiled falling in step behind her.

"I only asked that you remember someone has just lost their loved one, we have to show professionalism."

"I promise detective I'll be on my best behavior, but if I'm not maybe in our time later you can punish me." He smirked.

"Lucifer." She scolded not even turning around.

Lucifer like walking behind the detective. He couldn't stop thinking about the morning, and for once he didn't feel ashamed at staring at the bottom that was in those jeans. All of a sudden he had the strangest feeling come over him and before he knew it…..

"Achoo!" he sneezed.

"God, bless you." Chloe answered.

She turned around awaiting his normal retort about his "dear old dad", but the look on his face stopped her in her tracks.

"Lucifer, you okay?" she asked.

"What the bloody hell was that?" he looked terrified.

"It was a sneeze, you act as if you've never done it before.

"I can assure I have never done such a thing."

"Get in the car Lucifer."
